So basically, the new rares that came with the new patch have a really high chance to drop dragonshards of knowledge.
After 3 rare kills, I have gotten 2 shards so far.
These spawn every 30 minutes. They are on a set order, so you need something to track their spawns.

I recommend going under custom options and enabling the location part so you know where you have to fly. Just uncheck “Remove coordinates”
The high drop rate may or may not be intended, who knows. if you really want knowledge points, do you want to wait to find out? Specially as more and more people find out and start to mass farm them. Or after Wowhead posts about it.

I’ve done the last four rares over two hours and not gotten a single dragonshard of knowledge.
Drop rate maybe got nerfed since the past few days.
Then you got exceptionally lucky. Drop rates on shards is pretty low.

Yeah, I’ve killed many of the new rares since patch release and no dragonshards. OP definitely just got lucky. Sgame you used up all your luck on a couple of profession skills and not the lottery or something

I’m curious if newer alts are seeing more shards than a main who has been keeping up with all the weekly source? (I keep expecting to find a sneaky catch-up mechanism built into professions somewhere)
