Origin Shards are a high-grade resource in Iron Soul: Dungeon. A common question is "where do I use origin shards?" — this page covers that.
What they are
Origin Shards are one of the rarer ores/resources, used in advanced forging and progression. Several codes reward Origin Shards (see the codes page), which is why players often have a stockpile and wonder what to do with it.
Where to use Origin Shards
Origin Shards are used in the forge — they're a high-grade ore that boosts your multiplier and helps craft high-rarity gear. Load them into the furnace alongside other high-grade ores.
Where to get them
- Codes — several codes reward Origin Shards (e.g. NEWMAPEXPAND gives 200, SEASON2EXPAND gives 160).
- Mining/dungeons — as a rare drop.
