Introduction

So we've all noticed by now that Module 5: Accursed Ascension introduced four new collectibles (and holders):

  • Sigil Pieces
  • Shield Fragments
  • Tapestry Pieces
  • Tome Pages

But where do we get them? What do they do? Why should we bother?

Sigil Pieces

There are 8 different Sigil Pieces that fit into the Sigil Frame. Completion of the frame is required to advance the Litany of the Dead questline (flagged for B.A. Raid).

There are four quests that drop the Sigil Pieces. Four pieces drop randomly within those four quests, and four pieces drop static within those four quests.

Static Drops

The static drops are:

  1. Right Wing - Temple of Vol
  2. Left Wing - Fleshmaker's Laboratory
  3. Right Frame - Inferno of the Damned
  4. Left Frame - Ghosts of Perdition

Random Drops

The random drops are:

5. Left Pincer
6. Center Frame
7. Eye of the Abbot
8. Right Pincer

The numbers indicate the icon position (left to right) of that piece in the bottom of your frame.

Shield Fragments

There are 8 different Shield Fragments that fit into the Shield Frame. Upon completion of the shield, you may turn it in to Racella Unary to complete the Shield of Legend Quest and recieve a Static Reward.

Static Pieces

There are four quests that offer an optional chest that drops the shield pieces. These pieces are static:

1/2 - Temple of Vol (Marut Chest)
3/4 - Ghosts of Perdition (Kill 4 Waves Chest)
5/6 - Fleshmaker's Laboratory (Golem Enslaught Chest)
7/8 - Inferno of the Damned (Locked Acolyte Chest)
