The Belt of Oglidarsh now has increased Strength cap and melee resists increased to 4%. (1.81 Patch Notes)

Level 5 Ability:  It does not stack with other ablatives, but it does overwrite the low one(50 health one). Haven't tested whether it will overwrite the 150 ablative yet.  Dec 17
- Slyzer

 It absorbs 20% of each hit, up until 200 damage, at which point the ablative shield expires.
So if you get hit five times, each time for 200 damage, each hit is reduced to 160, and after the 5th hit, the shield expires.  Dec 17

The level 5 ability is nice though. It works on pets too, so if you're a bonedancer or SM you can give your pet some added protection.  Dec 22
Both charges are on the same timer.

the lvl 10 ability. It's a complete and utter waste. So useless. A 30 value str/con debuff? First off, it only transfers 30 to you, and it does NOT stack with buffs...it will not raise you over caps. You basically have to use it instead of a conc buff...And it lasts a minute!  Dec 20

Updates:

Per 1.78 Patch Notes:
Necromancer: There are new versions of several artifacts for Necromancers which better suit the class via usage in shadeform and casting spells through the pet. Any newly attained versions of The Eternal Plant, Staff of God, Tartaros Gift, Belt of Oglidarsh, and Ring of Fire are effected by this change. Artifact Scholar Jarron will accept current versions of these artifact in trade for the newer versions. Please note, all artifact experience will be lost when completing this trade-in.

- Please note that any artifact trade-in will result in a brand new level 1 artifact.

Leveling the Artifact:

Strategy:

The target zone is 48k 40k to 51k 40k in Ocean Hesp.  You are looking for leopard sharks in that area.  Dec 15 2003
- Kasparov

It seems that mythic has made a lot of changes to this encounter.  For starters, you can no longer rely on finding the oj con shark and killing it.  They upped the level span on leopard sharks in the area so that there is a good amount of oranges swimmin around.  Me and my friend pulled about 20 or so oranges before we gave up on that strategy all together.
The best way to find him is to look for the leopard shark that is attacking the other leopard shark.  Your target is about twice as big as a standard leopard shark and cons orange.  We attacked the bigger shark during their combat 8 times and recieved neither credit nor artifact.  I tried using my insta debuff on him while they were fighting, so that when he was done with the lesser yellow con shark he would aggro me.  We pulled him back, and we got credit this time, but no artifact.  We used the same strategy a 2nd time and recieved credit again and the artifact dropped.
He seems to be on an almost instant respawn timer.  We killed him once and 15 seconds later we found him again fighting another shark.
We got aggro'd by an orange leopard shark and recieved credit (but no artifact) after we killed him.  But other than that incident we always found him in a fight with another shark.   Oct 15 2004

Tips:

I did it in albion so I just used my necro to kill the shark that was attacking other sharks at the location listed on the site intill the belt droped.  Then I took my minstrel and killed the shark that was attacking the other sharks for credit, and voila.  Technically I could have just farmed the shark with my minstrel, but these days I'm rather lazy and I just wanted the belt for a sc (belive it or not no other belt out there would fit in the sc except that one (overcaps)). No real strategy per say, just farming an orange shark that sometimes brought a friend hehe.  Mar 30 2004

This artifact is very funny, we were a group of 5 and got 8 of them in less than 20 minutes. It dropped 2 belts once, and only the 8th time it didn't drop anything. We decided we had enough and left.  Mar 2 2004

Try location 48k 44k in Hesperos. That seems to be the best place to find the orange con leopard shark. If you hit it or nuke it and it doesnt take damage right away, then thats the shark you want. Sometimes it even drops 2 belts. I had that happen twice.  Dec 24

What the combined scrolls read:
Oglidarsh the Half-Giant's Story says:
"I see Atlantis. They are proud people. But the hills, that is my people. We have been here since before Atlantis. But we will not be here after Atlantis. Already the tribes dwindle. It is of no big thing. Time comes. Time goes. It is my tribes' time to go and it is time for Atlantis' people to come. I am not a giant of many words.

Oglidarsh the Half-Giant's Story says:
"My belt is fitted just to me. It makes me stronger, stronger even then the greatest of my tribes. I know no fear when I wear it. I use it often. Why should I not? It is the gift of a king to his champion. I would rather have its magic, than see it given to some other through accident or design.

Oglidarsh the Half-Giant's Story says:
"Would it not be funny, after all, if my belt were given by accident? Ha ha, I imagine my belt flowing out to the seas on my death. I imagine a great shark swallowing my belt. WOuld that not be funny? A shark stronger than all other sharks, bolder even than sharks already are? One that lived longer, and knew not why? Ha ha ha yes, it would be funny if a shark were to eat Great Oglidarsh's belt!"   Nov 28
