Blood Shards (AKA "Shards" or "BS") are a form of currency introduced in [[Reaper of Souls]]. Shards' only use is to gamble on items with the NPC [[Kadala; they ]]. Shards can not be spent elsewhere and have no other purpose.
Shards are earned for completing [[Bounties]] in [[Adventure Mode]], sometimes drop from [[Horadric Cache]]s, and are always dropped by [[Rift Guardians]]. The quantity of shards awarded or dropped scales up with the [[difficulty]], with more per Bounties and many more dropped by Rift Guardians on higher difficulty levels.
* [[Patch 2.0.5]] buffed the legendary return rate from Gambling, and enabled Kadala to drop [[Torment-only]] items as well, though the odds of gambling such are quite low.
==Gambling Item Quality==
Gambling is a great way to gear a character up after they reach level 70, since they can quickly assemble good quality Rares in every [[slot]]. Legendary items can be gambled (the drop rate was buffed twice[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/mega-legendary-hotfixes-now-live] shortly after release), but the top quality items do not fall since none of the then again in [[Patch 2.0.5]] when Kadala became eligible to drop [[Torment-only]] legendary or set items can be gambledgear.
