Shards drop rate to low

[Ritoo]

Drop rate its to low-.- i play 9 houres and have only drop 1 shard i am lvl 60 and i have nothing do to, only the raids and the shard rate its vervy to low

It's a luck thing. Look at how many shards drop in the video linked below. I've experienced bad luck just as you have though. There have been days where I might have gotten one or two shards over a dozen or more in-game days. Also, I've yet to loot a single Dragon Soul shard.

i've found several and i'm not looking for them: no worries

I have a turret farm that kills high level creatures for me. I have about 20 of each key right now and get about 4 to 5 of each shard per session so long as I hang around the courtyard to gather them

OJ, I believe some of the shards are dropped on the big creatures and final loot in the crypts and aren't found in the wild.

Thanks for the feedback ritoo :)

Can manage at least a few shards in an hour of farming, often times at least a few of each. Id like to see a drop rate boost in the future, but only as a temporary buff...maybe a consumable or reward for killing a tough monster.

You need 5 evren shards and 5 dracul shards to enter dragons heart and those are only found inside the phoenix and bloodsoul crypts.

I think the drop rate is really ok.
As OJ Simpson said, it´s a lucky thing.
And i also make the experience that sometimes the droprate is higher than before, for example when i want to farm shards, i only go between 19:00 - 20:00.
In that time i get twice more shards as normal, between 5-7.

I mean atm the dungeons are our endgame and you can run the dungeon solo with success(yes, on official server). So something has to be some work or it has no sense ;-)
And you also have your dungeon gear in one week gathered because everytime it drops 2-5 epic things.

I really think its to easy.

As far as dungeons go, they really need to make the portculus open all the way as soon as you activate it, and not allow it to be lowered after. Cheesing each room by cracking the gate is super lame lol

Can the dungeons be done solo without cheesing? I was thinking of trying Phoenix first. I don't want to waste a key though, because I'm not big on cheesing my way through.

I honestly don’t know. I’ve tried exactly one time to go through the dungeon with the faeries and I rage quit at the lack of a spawn point in or near it. It’s just not fun having to run all the way back any time you draw too much aggro and take 4000 damage. That mixed with cheesing the Gates turned me off from even trying.

I’ll wait until dungeons get a pass or two before I bother trying again

[Hubbleton]

Good to know, man. Thanks.

I don´t know if you tried the dungeon solo but in both dungeon are at least one room where you can´t use from the doors.
and i have only a bit more as 2k hp.
i run the dungeon often to figured my way through and in the beginning i died quite often and i didn´t see the boss at all but is that not the interesting thing? to win the dungeon on the hardest(solo) way it can be? for me it´s that kind of fun what i need.
And after the patch with the enemys AI the dungeon is not easy now.:-)

Do the teleporters in the safe zones take you back to the crypts if you die there? The ones that you need a rune crystal to activate. I believe it says "Boss Dungeon" when you target them. What is the duration of the access buff granted by each key?

I'm on the private server with ritoo and I've found 13 shards so far in 1 hour...

Just kill big units and find a rotation on the map to do it efficiently.

Which server is that?
