Refresher Shard is an item which has a chance to be dropped by Roshan on his third death, and is guaranteed to drop on his fourth death and onwards.

Additional information

• Refresher Shard is completely sharable.
  • Although Refresher Shard cannot be bought, it can be sold for 500 gold. However, only the hero whose main inventory it enters first can sell it.
  • If a courier is the first unit to pick up the shard, it cannot be sold by anyone, even if it remains on the courier or is given to a hero afterwards.
  • If a Refresher Shard directly enters a backpack when picked up, it remains sellable by anyone until it enters any unit's main inventory.
• Refresher Shards do not stack in the inventory. Each acquired instance requires its own slot.
• Unlike the Aegis of the Immortal, Refresher Shard is not reclaimed by Roshan.

Notes:

• Interrupts the user's channeling spells upon cast.

• Only refreshes items in the user's inventory. Items in the stash, in other units' inventories or dropped items are unaffected.

• Only refreshes items owned by the user. Allied items in the inventory are not refreshed.

• Refreshes all spells owned by the user. This includes hidden or inactive spells (e.g. invoked spells).
  • This means that it does not refresh all spells for Rubick. Stolen spells are only refreshed when he owns them upon refreshing.
  • Morphling’s inactive spells during Morph aren’t refreshed either. Only his currently active spells are refreshed.

• Also replenishes all charges of charge-based abilities.

• Does not skip the fade delay for Cloak and Dagger.

• Visually resets the cooldown of Tranquil Boots, but does not skip the broken state.

• Does not refresh Refresher Orb, Ex Machina or the cooldown of other Refresher Shards.

• Does not share cooldown with Refresher Orb.

Tips

• The Refresher Shard is basically a Refresher Orb with a single charge, so the same tips apply to it.
• However, due to it having no mana cost, and no gold cost, it opens a lot of possibilities for heroes who normally don't or can't buy a Refresher Orb, either due to the lack of mana supporting combos, being unable to farm it up, or it being too ineffective for the item slot.
• The Refresher Shard does not share a cooldown with Refresher Orb. Combined with the lack of a mana cost, this means it makes it possible for heroes who already have a Refresher Orb to use their spells three times in a fight.
• In some scenarios, it might be worth it to sell the Refresher Shard for its selling price of gold to buy a key item sooner rather than consuming it.

Trivia

• The Refresher Shard's icon and in-game model are based on the Refresher Orb. Its active uses the same sound and visual effect as Refresher Orb.
• The pop-up that appears when you hover over the item on the ground shows a buying price of 1000 gold, but when you pick it up, the pop-up shows the selling price of 500 gold.
