Literally any level you can pass with all the battle traits (or some of them) in level 7.

Max out Chasing Shadows Battle Trait (more Shadows shot down = more dropped cores) specifically,

and every other battle trait you feel you can handle.

Early/easy maps will drop low tier fragments. Late game, harder maps will drop better fragments

At the top of the Battle Traits screen, it shows the level of the fragments you'll likely find, where it says "Drop rarity range". Higher number = better fragments. You'll see this number increase as you increase the difficulty and Battle Trait levels. Max possible fragment Level is 100.
The "+" button allows you to spend 100 cores to increase the level of the next fragment drop by 10, which is actually quite nice in the late game.

The Talisman is a nice feature to Chasing Shadows Imo, it's not the main event. Perhaps focusing on unlocking Skills and Battle traits is more useful in the early game. And afterwards, getting more cores and good Talisman fragments will be much easier.

foir talisman best farming is fields with shrines. max out difficulty, lauych all wawes on endurance and hope shrine kills somethign and sdrops a talisman. also u can open drop holders with bolts.

for shadow cores just repeat first field in the game with least waves. the drops are distributed through all the wawes. so journey 3 wawes will net you more shadow cores per hour than trying to farm long wawes. also talismans drop better in shorter battles, at least in frostborn wrath - where u want to not complete endurance too oftoen and keep endurance waves low so u get all drops in something like 20 waves ionstead of distributed alowng the 100+ wawes .
