WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS.
Behold! My idiot-proof guide to the three known shard quests, and two others that I've found myself while exploring Frisiga.
To collect these shards you will need:
- A shovel
- The ability to levitate
- The ability to fight off the native creatures
- The ability to follow coloured lines
shard #1
A very easy shard.
Simply follow the indicated path, at the end of it there will be a hole hidden behind a tree. The shard is in a chest in the hole.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shard #2 and #3these two shards are very close together.
Head north from the boat and take the stairs down (see shard #1).
If you followed the path you will now be on the crossroads of Frisiga. This valley leads to many important areas, including (but not limited to): crystal spiders, Korzar, frost dragons, the city of Sialeth and ofcourse ice shard quests.
Head north and go up the stairs.
From here, keep going west, up the stairs until you enter the "city" of Sialeth, some NPCs will be walking around here. head north-west.
When you get to minimap 5, follow the red path. Levitate up the ice walls twice and keep walking. you will quickly find a chest with another shard.
Once you have it, backtrack and follow the blue path. enter the marked hole for the third ice shard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shard #4Head back to the crossroads, shard #4 is only a very short walk from here.
Levitate down the ice wall and go down the hole. You can kill the miniboss or just claim your prize and run.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shard #5
shard #5 is in the far south-east corner of the continent. It's gonna take a while to get there, cause Frisiga.
Follow the green path from the crossroads, at the end you will have to levitate twice. that's all there is to it.

Congratulations! you now own 5 ice shards! The other 3 you will have to loot from creatures. A good idea would be to do the frost dragon task first, as they might drop shards as well. If you still need shards I'd recommend hunting Glassweb spiders or ice ogres if you can find them.
Also, should you find any other shard quests feel free to pm me so I can add it to the list. Before Season 2 ended, I did manage to find the other 3 shard quests.
I would not go looking for these shards unless you have a solid party and are well prepared! (or be level 140 like I was at the time)If I remember correctly, 2 of them are deep in the ice ogre spawn. The last one is in a cave with dangerous turtle-like creatures that drain large amounts of mana.
now then, goodluck finding the way back.
