But 50? Yikes. I got one scrap while killing all the bosses and doing the quest the first time. This one is going be a very long grind.

Like, the first time you go for a fragment in 20 hours, it will drop fairly quick, but after that they take a LONG time to drop?

Could very well be! The drop rates were highly inconsistent, but when you needed only 10 they were still manageable. Now when you need 50, they're not.

It's like the Stone Husk Fragments from Greymoor, but for both Dungeons this time.
They really went all out on grinding with this chapter...

It really does. Greymoor started this trend and it's been hated ever since and I see that they're dead on determined to continue it, even though it -DETERS- people for the better part. A good grind lasts a few hours and not more, because after that it just gets tedious without any sense of a reward whatsoever.
It's like someone throwing you into a mine to break your back mining and offering you a crumb of bread, saying that once you've clocked in at least a hundred hours you'll get an entire loaf of bread. Like no man, you'll be dead(in other words gone from the game) before you get that loaf.

Yup. Seeing an enormous grind doesn't incentivize me to play more, it compels me to just skip the activity altogether.
I could grind out a tedious item.
OR I could just farm gold, which is easier, and just buy them later.
I'm not some 16 year old cutting corners in school to play this game. I've got a job and other responsibilities that are more of a priority than this game.

Took me about 12-16 hours to grind up all 50 and then ran into the bug stopping me from actually being able to use them. So until the bug gets fixed this grind will not only drain your mind, but take your soul.

I need to get both companions to level 20 and gear them up, might as well do it in the public dungeons and get the fragment pieces as well.
dont even bother to grind it, coz it doesnt work anyway.
this is from devtrackers.gg

and this is from today, from my own experience
almost month of grinding and over 1m spent for buying parts and 17 days after is still bugged.
