Public dungeon fragments are a punishment

What is the point in trying to collect these fragments if half the enemies don't drop any loot.

Both high isle dungeons are tedious experiences, with poor layout and scarce enemies in many parts. Ghost Haven Bay is especially terrible design, in almost every area, bad map layout, few adds, unremarkable and repetitive bosses, uninspiring environment.

The blackwood public dungeons were also atrocious, unless the plan was to get players to hate the content. I will never step foot in The Silent Halls ever again. This style of collectible needs to stop. It is garbage.

    With the new Update they will alleviate this situation, the first drop of the day will have a far higher chance of dropping IIRC.

    Under Base Game: fixes and improvements, and then: exploration and itemization general.
    Greatly increased the drop chance for collectible fragments found in public dungeons if it is your first fragment acquisition in that dungeon of the day.

    i would agree that these drops have far too low of a rate

    this rate was fine when you only needed 7 items, like the vvardenfell and summerset public dungeons

    greymoor was when they started introducing the need for 50 of the items to finish the collectible, and its been 50 in every chapter since

    i would also agree the silent halls is especially awful because the drop rate is like 1/4 what the others are

    "Greatly increased the drop chance for collectible fragments found in public dungeons if it is your first fragment acquisition in that dungeon of the day."

    Is this per character or per account? Strangely, despite assiduously getting fragments once per day it only now dawned on me to test his.

    I think it is per account, but sometimes the drop rate in the Necrom dungeons is a bit inconsistent. At one point, I had like 4 drop in an hour. Once, I had 2 drop on the same add pull. But then another day, I went nearly 3 hours without a drop, on like 3 different characters. Finally got all 25 in each PD the other day.
