What Is The Wind Shard
The Wind Shard is one of the materials in Final Fantasy 16. Furthermore, materials can be used for crafting many things, including Weapons, Belts, and Vambraces. According to the item description, the Wind Shard is a suitable material for crafting weapons due to its lightness and unique characteristics.

Wind Shard Uses
The Wind Shard itself can only be used to craft 1 weapon. However, this weapon can then be used many more times. Consequently, this makes the Wind Shard a key item for specific weapons.
Stormcry

After beating Gardua and getting the Wind Shard, bring it to Blackthorne, the Blacksmith at Cid’s Hideout. Now, open The Black Hammer Craft Menu and trade in the Wind Shard to craft the weapon, Stormcry. The origin of its name can be discovered in its description.
