Ironman verdict
Ancient shard is a members item. It cannot be traded, so every account, Ironman or not, gets it the same way. We list 9 monsters for it.
The lowest-level monster that drops it is Skeleton (Catacombs of Kourend) (level 22), at 1/314, about one in 314 kills. The best rate is from Skotizo (level 321): 75/100. The 9 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 22 to 342.
Among the bosses we cover, Skotizo drops it.
It is a material in 1 recipe: Arclight.
