Seems hard to get them now. I had around 4200 kills for the 6 first shards but now I have over 3000 kills for the 7th shard. I know the drop rate is low but didn’t expect it to be this low after 6 shards in 4200 kills. Around 1400 of the kills for the 7th has been when farming for the bee mount.
Someone knows something about this?

well there are no guaranteed drop. rng is rng. I’m not tracking my kills for my own sanity. but i have gotten one in probably 2k kills.

I have an addon that tracks things like that. Trying not to look at the numbers but they keep screaming at me every time I kill something that drops something.
i mean, i’ve been playing since ea with thousands of kills and never got one, rng be rng

They only drop in isle of Dorn, most players don’t spend a lot of time out there except during beginning of campaign.
My passive mount farming method just has me level my alts in Dorn, through that I’ve gotten 5 without trying.

I haven’t counted kills or actively farmed them. I figure just letting it happen over time is probably the best way to go about it since the drop rate is so low. So far, I’ve received two.

Farmed all shards while farming chitin/poison for another mount in about a day and a half.

Good 'ol RNG is RNG post. A forums classic.

Farmed the same things for the same mount. That is why I have so many kills.
They nerfed cloth drops, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was all drops like that.

I know this thread is old but I haven’t seen anything more recent. I’ve been farming nerubians for Siesbarg in Isle of Dorn and haven’t seen a crackling shard in 7835 kills. Is this truly just bad RNG or is there something else going on?
**Edited to add: At 500/1000 venom and 8888 kills with still no shard

It has to have been nerfed massively. Saw a guide for Alunira on YouTube which was around 2 weeks + old and the person posting it had between 4k and 5k for all 10 shards. Also heard that someone had the 10 shard with around 2k kills per shard. I got my last one yesterday and had 10406 kills total for all the shards. Got the last one when casually farming mats on 1 of my alts. Had between 1,3k and 1,4k kills between 9th and 10th shard.

you got proof on this?
I got my third shard today. I don’t know how many kills I have though. I am just playing the game and they have dropped occasionally.
I’ve had the mount for around 3 weeks now, and I’ve played since EA.
Only two of the shards came from any farming, and that was farming for Chitin for Siesbarg. But I spend more time on Isle of Dorn than anywhere else due to mining/herbalism, so I had a lot of passive kills early on that contributed.
That being said, I haven’t seen a single shard since I got the mount, so perhaps the drop rate has been nerfed, or there’s a flag that signals when you have the mount and shards can no longer drop.
Early Access tralk posting in here. Of course you have the mount, all the farm spots weren’t nerfed in Early Access. 
Yep, i sure do.
