You don't. You will have to find another way to do it now.

There are at least 5 other ways.
Radakka purging wand
Braccus purging wand
Braccus helm
Slane (if you didn't kill him)
You can also sneak past the shriekers if you have cloak and dagger and a few points in scoundrel.


Or you can just recharge the wand you have.

Ah, OK, you are on Act 2. Sorry my reply before was about Act 1.

You don't need purging wands and don't need to restart.

Go do some other tasks off your journal and come back to blackpits later.

Source Vampirism takes out Shriekers. You can have it easily before tacking the Blackpit area. Do note that their range is longer than yours so either invisiblity or sneak are advisable.

You cannot get back to Reaper's Island, once in Driftwood. Or can you? There are some shriekers in Act 2, too. With the purging wand you can destroy them easily, I had one with 4 charges with me. With the skill Purge/Source Vampirism which you get from your god during the main quest line after the second ritual you can also kill shriekers. It has far less range than a purging wand, so you have to use invisibility for example to get near enough.

The shriekers on Nameless Isle is difficult to kill even when you are invisible or using the Chameleon skill. Source Vanpirism is for short distance. Any one on Nameless Island can recharge the wand?

There are actually three or four wands to pick up on the corpses.

Yup, in abundance. You get some from the camp of Wordless, and as far as I remember I even got two after the first fight where I met the fighting Magisters, Paladins and Black Ring guys at Rhalic's temple. I had six or so in the end.

It is possible with some cautious sneaking and careful positioning. I assume that'll be the same deal for all difficulties, but I couldn't swear to it.
