You say, 'Hail, Bertrand Bibblesworth'
Bertrand Bibblesworth says 'Yes, hello to you as well. I have recently come here in search of some more curious [crystals].'
You say, 'what crystals'
Bertrand Bibblesworth says 'These are no ordinary crystals. They are known as frozen crystal shards and burning crystal shards. I believe they are made by the gelidrans and pyrilens, chaotic elemental creatures composed of fire and ice. I encountered a couple of these fierce creatures in the Realm of Discord and managed to, um, procure quite a collection of crystals. Hey, if you would like to [trade], I might be interested.'
You say, 'trade'
Bertrand Bibblesworth says 'I can trade you a frozen crystal for a burning crystal or vice versa. Just hand one to me if you are interested!'

I dont have any items to test this - but is he talking about the tradeskill items?

[Maevenniia]

There is a shard you get as a 'bonus' with the retail version of OoW (you have to /claim it) that has a clicky effect that might be a faction modifier.

If I am not mistaken, you can exchange it back and forth from the ice version to the fire version by giving it to this guy.

[Silound]

Correct Mav

[Verdandi]

For the record, the items in question then would be the Burning Crystal Shard and Frozen Crystal Shard, the bonus items as Maev indicates.

Thanks all. (still havent claimed mine yet - so good info).

[Kieroth_whiteleaf]

I haven't *noticed* any faction changes when I use the clicky effect from it, nor does it (as would seem to be common sense) provide any bonus to their respective resists.

The nice thing (and only benefit I can see) about the clicky is that if you make sure to ALWAYS keep it up it gives the mobs one extra thing to have to dispell.. I try to click it on before things like temps/hos/etc go out so if it gets debuffed I just don't care.
