    I was earlier this week, but I have not opened a treasure chest since the recent updates.

    Also, I noticed from doing about 15 treasure maps this weekend, that I would only get Shards in upper level zones, not any in Starter through say Zone 3.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I have been running my v2 Templar in V6-8 zones (I only opened 1 chest in Cyro so far), it just seems the spawn rate went from 33% to 0% after the patch, lol.

    I got one a couple days ago from a chest in a V2 zone, but I haven't played in any low level zones for awhile so I'm not sure if anything was changed in that regard.

We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    I've been getting them reliably from buried treasure. I've also pulled a few from normal chests. But, I'm not sure if that was mostly in zones from the basic game. I can't remember if I've pulled any in Wrothgar or Hew's Bane.

    I finally got my Psijic Ambrosia fragments when I finally got fed up of not getting any and bought the ones I needed.

    Because of course it would work that way.

    A month without a Psijic fragment? I've received 4 in total!

    Four. In total. Doing top level daily writs since they started.

    I think they should give us MIMIC stones in chests now, the Malachite shards are only relevant to Glass crafting, yet there are more and more unique styles available now that require specific style 'stones' that I think Mimic drops would be more appropriate.

    Great idea. Not likely to happen though, as that would hurt sales of Mimic stones from the crown store. Mimic stones are a great idea, a wonderful way to alleviate some of the inventory bloat from all the new motif styles, and something that I will NEVER buy with crowns. Another shameful money grab.

    Well, a Mimic stone here or there are even Mimic 'shards' wouldn't hugely offset the demand I wouldn't think... either that or they should start adding other rare stones like Laurels, etc. to the treasure chests too.
