    Surveys in Crag can drop them.

    Craglorn writ surveys do (rarely) drop nirncrux if you have any.

    Very rarely, they will also be found on Craglorn animals that drop hides.

    But, the ones mentioned in the OP are the best places for finding raw nirn ... cloth/ore/wood nodes and in the guild stores.

    Nirncrux drop from all resources nodes in all of Craglorn, and occasionally (rarely) from mobs.
    They have an increased (doubled) chance in Craglorn surveys.
    They have a small chance of dropping from heavy sacks.

    That's all.
    Nirncrux doesn't drop anywhere else.
    Them dropping from guards is a tamrielic urban legend. They don't.

    I heard that nirn trait gear has a small chance to appear in treasure chest in Craglorn although I don't know how true this is and I have never personally seen any. If it is true would could break down the gear for a chance of getting the nirn mats, or just sell them I guess.

    That's also a urban legend.
    Treasure chests in Craglorn never drop either nirncrux nor nirnhoned gear.
    What can happen though, even though it is extremely rare, is to have nirncrux drop from normal small chests (those without locks) since they share the same table loot as heavy sacks.

    In addition to what @anitajoneb17_ESO said, you also get one piece of nirnhoned gear as a reward for completing the Craglorn main zone quest ...

    In all the years that Craglorn has been in existence, I have only had one drop from welva, all the rest have been from nodes.

    I've never had nirn from treasure chests or heavy sacks, though that doesn't mean it doesn't happen :)

    But there have been lots of rumours about nirn drops. I remember when some people said they dropped from flowers - though that turned out to be a tactic to slow other farmers down, picking flowers instead of harvesting nodes (and that was back when nirn only dropped in Upper Craglorn).

    I've been working Craglorn the last few weeks trying to finish out achievents and such. I've been having no luck with Nirncrux at all, even though I gather every thing in sight. The only nirncrux I've ever harvested was back when it was Upper Crag only. Since then, nothing upper or lower.

    What am I doing wrong? Or does the RNG hate me that much to last months if not years without a nirncrux!

    I usually log-out my toons behind the bank in Craglorn - just a good spot to do so.
    When loading in, there's a good chance the wood and ore nodes are usually there and I just collect them if they are.
    Occasionally I will pick one up off these alone - but I do tend to find that nirn drops less frequently if you stay on the same character and continually farm mats. I can cut a whole lap of Craglorn collecting and more often than not you get 0.

    I have been running around for a couple of hours the last days - ended up with 5+2 Nirncrux. So it really does drop and is not that rare after all.
