This reference covers named Archeotech Shards, Psalm-Codes, and Psalm-Code Doctrines described in NeocoreGames' Inquisitor compendium. Shard effects depend on whether the socket is on armor, a weapon, or another item, and listed values vary by shard quality. Psalm-Codes have individual effects, while a Doctrine adds an effect for a specified combination of codes and preserves their individual bonuses. The selected records explain those documented effects and combinations without ranking them or recommending an optimal setup. The compendium says its values and mechanics may change with releases and future updates; later changes are not independently verified here.
If comparing listed shard values, use quality as context: the source lists different values across tiers and describes combining three codes of the same kind into a higher-quality code.
A shard family can have different effects on armor, weapons, and other items. Check the row for the intended socket location before using its listed bonus.
The shard tables list separate values from Mastercrafted through Archeotech. The compendium also describes combining shards of the same quality into a higher-tier shard.
