What is the Shard of Dawn Aspect in Diablo 4?
The Shard of Dawn is an offensive aspect that can be imprinted on various items in your inventory, including amulets, one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, gloves, and rings. Regardless of the choice of item, the effects remain consistent.
With the Shard equipped, players can activate Dawn’s Haste, boosting both attack speed (25-35%) and movement speed (20%) for a total of 12 seconds after enduring 30 seconds of Night’s Grasp.
Notably, killing enemies during the Midwinter Ward also reduces the duration of Night’s Grasp by one second.
Obtaining the Shard of Dawn in Diablo IV
Obtaining the Shard of Dawn is a unique process compared to acquiring other Diablo IV aspects. Players can purchase this legendary offensive aspect from Gileon, the Midwinter Blight vendor, in Kyovashad. It is located in Midwinter Square. To unlock the aspect, one must spend 10 Midwinter Proofs, an event-exclusive currency that can be obtained by exchanging Blighted Fragments, Lost Heirlooms, or Red-Cloaked Trophies at the Collection's Table in Midwinter Square.
Blighted Fragments: Acquired by defeating Blightfiends

Farming for Midwinter Proofs
To acquire Blighted Fragments, traverse the Fractured Peaks and engage in combat with Blightfiend packs. Active participation in public events, especially the Blighted Revelry event featuring the Red-Cloaked Horror boss, can expedite the farming process.
Once armed with sufficient Blighted Fragments, players can exchange them for Midwinter Proofs and acquire the Shard of Dawn Aspect from Gileon.
The Bard awaits in Kyovashad within the Fractured Peaks, ready to trade the legendary Offensive Aspect for ten Midwinter Proofs.
The Shard of Dawn Aspect is a valuable addition to any player's arsenal, improving their combat prowess during the Midwinter Blight event.
