Erebus Splinter

The Erebus Splinter is a shard of the veil itself. Right-click to break it and an Erebus Tear opens somewhere in the overworld, no waiting for the timer, no waiting on the server.

The tear it opens is a normal one in every respect: it arrives at whatever tier the level cap currently allows, at one of the ordinary tear sites, and it's open to everyone on the server.

Using one

• Right-click to break it. The tear opens on its own; you don't pick the spot.
• It won't open over a live breach. Only one Erebus Tear can be open at a time, so a Splinter thrown while another is running does nothing.
• It isn't spent unless a tear actually opens. A refused break leaves the Splinter in your inventory, so there's no way to waste one by mistiming it.

That last point makes spares safe to sit on: extras queue up in inventories rather than stacking breaches on top of each other.

Where to get it

Splinters turn up in some loot boxes. Uber bosses no longer drop them, and Erebus Crates no longer pay uber keys (those come from the Sacred Way).
