Zenyte shard

“A shard of unstable zenyte.”

The Zenyte shard is the rare gem part you need to make zenyte jewellery. It drops from tortured gorillas and demonic gorillas in the Crash Site Cavern, and you fuse it with a cut onyx to make an uncut zenyte. That is the first step toward the necklace of anguish, amulet of torture, ring of suffering and tormented bracelet.

How to get a Zenyte shard

The shard is a rare drop, and it comes from the tougher gorillas under Ape Atoll.

Ways to obtain it
Demonic gorillas — the shard drops at 1/300 from these.
Tortured gorillas — drops at 1/3,000.
Grand Exchange — the shard is tradeable and the buy limit is 11,000 every 4 hours.

Both gorillas live in the Crash Site Cavern, which you can enter once Monkey Madness II is done.

What a Zenyte shard makes

The shard has one use. Fuse it with a cut onyx at the wall of flames in the Temple of Marimbo Dungeon, while holding a zombie monkey greegree. You get an uncut zenyte and 15 Crafting XP.

Making the uncut zenyte needs 70 Crafting. Cutting it into zenyte takes 89 Crafting, and the zenyte then goes into the enchanted jewellery. The four pieces it makes are the Necklace of anguish, the Amulet of torture, the Ring of suffering and the Tormented bracelet.

Is the Zenyte shard worth it?

If you want zenyte jewellery, you cannot skip it, because the jewellery is built from a zenyte gem and the shard is half of that gem. If you do not, the shard has no use on its own.

You can farm it from the gorillas or buy it. Compare its Grand Exchange price with how long gorilla kills take you before you decide.

Zenyte shard FAQ

What is a Zenyte shard used for?
You fuse it with a cut onyx to make an uncut zenyte. The uncut gem is then cut into zenyte, which is the gem used for enchanted zenyte jewellery.
Where do you get Zenyte shards?
They drop from tortured gorillas and demonic gorillas in the Crash Site Cavern. You can reach that cavern after finishing Monkey Madness II. The demonic gorilla drop rate is 1/300 and the tortured gorilla drop rate is 1/3,000.
How do you fuse a Zenyte shard with an onyx?
You need a cut onyx and a zombie monkey greegree (either size) on you. Go to the wall of flames in the Temple of Marimbo Dungeon and use the shard on the flames. This gives 15 Crafting XP. The uncut zenyte needs 70 Crafting, and cutting it later needs 89 Crafting.
Can you fuse the shard anywhere?
No. If you use the shard on a cut onyx away from the flames, the game tells you that only the heat of the flame pits beneath Ape Atoll can fuse them.
Can you trade Zenyte shards?
Yes. They are tradeable on the Grand Exchange with a buy limit of 11,000 every 4 hours.
What does zenyte make?
Cut zenyte is used to craft four enchanted pieces of jewellery: the Necklace of anguish, the Amulet of torture, the Ring of suffering and the Tormented bracelet.
Is a Zenyte shard the same as uncut zenyte?
No. The shard is only half of it. You still need a cut onyx, the fuse at the wall of flames, and a Crafting level before you have an uncut zenyte.
