Yes and No, as ohmikeghod said some items will always nuke to a LBS(Large Brillant Shard), but the game has a few eazy ways in(eazy is such a reletive term) It is more accruate to say there is a solo way to repetably get LBS.
The amaizng Warbear Woolies, My secret to shards.
Theese can be made with no super rare mats, it only needs
24x Rugged Leather
14x Warbear Leather
1x Rune Thread
Hell most folks auction the Warebear leather for as little as 3 gold a stack of 10, but thats even a ripoff. just skinn bears for your main leather, pickup the WB leather when it drops... case closed.
