I haven’t seen a Crackling Shard since the first month of the expansion. I often wondered if Blizzard nerfed the drop rate due to players farming the bees/wolves for the mount/leather.
If that’s the case, couldn’t you just remove the Crackling Shard from dropping from them and then maintain a slightly more relaxed drop rate elsewhere in the Isle of Dorn?
whats a crackling shard?
I got one last week off the fungus infected unicorn thing. That would be shard #11, since I already have the mount.
They’re out there, just got to open things up and see what they ate.
They do drop and count as rare. If you stick on that loot table you’ll see them drop. Otherwise, once you get another drop like a purple weapon, mount, pet, something from somewhere else - that messes with the shards drops. The RNG in WoW is such that if you play for a prolonged time you can see how it times your drops. Example: If I fish up a goop for Hirukon then I know I won’t see a shard in hours and maybe 1, 2 days. The game just times the drops.
That’s a pretty interesting take
The game is basically saying: “You got something nice, that’s enough for the day.”
Yeah sorry that’s not a thing at all, I personally have gotten two raid mounts in one day according to your theory they should never happen.
I’m willing to trial it by doing ICC 25/TK first before doing the weeklys lol
It’s funny you say ICC, close to my experience. I got mim head from yogg 0 and almost immediately after got the experiment mount from dragon soul
I didn’t say it’s precise. Just that OP is in a no drop window.
I can tell there is nothing I can say to convince you. But to anyone else reading this and to the Op, it’s RNG that is literally all it is and sometimes we have really bad runs.
Right but they did nerf the drop rate not long after TWW. I was just making a suggestion IF it was due to the bee/wolf farms on how to resolve it
I wish the drop rate was a little better. I’ve leveled all my Alts in Dornagal and received my first shard in the first 2 weeks.
I got my second shard…yesterday. 
Convince me in what? We basically wrote the same thing - RNG.
As other have stated, they’re out there, they are just extremely rare. They can drop from almost any mob on Dorn. I can’t remember the exact numbers, but on average I would say it dropped every 1 in 1 thousand mobs, for me.
If you want it, get to farmin!
Aside from all the killable WQs, I’ve even done laps across the isle of dorn. Killing every target in front of me. Still, nada. lol

There is no such thing as a no drop window, if I get the shard off a mob I could quite literally be lucky enough to get another off of the very next mob.
You need to find a way to make the farm easier.
For example, I did some of it on my leatherworker, farming bees and wolves. Even if I didn’t get a crackling shard, I got leather chitin. I did some of the farm on my tailor, farming spiders. Even if I didn’t get a shard, I got cloth.
Some days I just farmed the seagulls on that island south of Dornogal. Some days the murlocs on that island to the east of Dorn, w/e.
People expect getting the shards by just leveling and doing daylies ?
pfff
Just join or create a bee farm grp, dedicate some hours and you all will get the 10 shards.
And yet no one has been lucky enough to get all 10 shards straight away. Drop chance > time > no drop window. Can’t force statistics.
