did shards of writing bone stop dropping?

CoronHR · November 12

i usually get 2 per day, usually 1 from a coffer and 1 from a siege chest. today i've had none and i've farmed a lot of siege coffers. maybe i'm just unlucky today

AcadianPaladin · November 12

PC NA here. I normally get about 6 or 7 chests a day. Got two shards of writhing bone yesterday (bringing me to a total of 17) but none today. Not sure that's enough data to conclude anything.

Edit Update: Though none on Nov 12, did get 2 on Nov 13 - total of 19 now averaging about 6-7 chests a day.

Jaimeh · November 12

I haven't gotten any in the last couple of days but I'm just doing the three golden chests, I assume they are dropping fine, it's just that a lot of other things can drop at the same time diluting the possibilities. Still, it would have been cool to get increased chances for the phase 2 things.

Reginald_leBlem · November 12

I didn't get any yesterday or today, but I am still getting loads of haj pieces

MATH_COW · November 12

The drop rate is ridiculous and is worst as you can drop instead a shard for the pet instead (as I never drop both in a same box I feel like you get one or the other).

I never drop any in camp chest or in a blu reward box and can have days without drop any in golden reward box.

Ingenon · November 12

I got one today from one of my three gold boxes. PS/NA. I have had other days where I have gotten zero from the three gold boxes. YMMV.

Syldras · November 12

I got 4 yesterday, 2 today.

theskymoves · November 12

They must have, judging from how long it's been since I've seen one...

El_Borracho · November 12

Haven't seen one since last Friday. PS NA

Local generic version. Same content as in the brand name.

Sorry about that, my werewolf werebear got hungry. I keep telling him to clean up after himself, but there never was much more than fleas between his ears.

Bethgael · November 12

2 per day? Luxury!

I received my second one yesterday. Yay, I guess?

So.... many.... haj.... bits....

Lylith · November 12

no, i get them every day and have been selling them.

however, the progress bar percentage seemed to drop since yesterday, a LOT.

pc na working as intended?

Silmos · November 12

I'm on PC EU and I've gotten 5 in TOTAL despite farming EVERY DAY during the entire event..!! Abysmal drop rates or just extremely unlucky RNG, insane either way...

freespirit · November 12

Three on one account today, still going through second account but three so far.

Interestingly none from anything but crafting dailies and then only from blue boxes not the gold ones. I am doing the crafting dailies on multiple characters though, still need two more purple plans for my second account!

Finedaible · November 12

They stopped dropping altogether for me since the last patch.

BretonMage · November 13

I got one almost daily for 9 days (got 8), then nothing. Just treasure, set pieces and haj mota scales.

Edit: looks like they stopped dropping around the Nov 10 patch for me too.

Ezhh · November 13

I'm at ten total. Was mostly getting 1 a day, but now I'm at three days and counting without any. It feels like someone flipped a switch and they just... stopped.

Still flooded with Haj Mota parts...

nadrokal · November 13

I haven't had one drop in three days. I know rng will do rng things, but wish someone with a green colored name could look into this

I haven't had any drop for 3 days. Still getting the scales even though I finished the pet... helpful.

LootAllTheStuff · November 13

Got one tonight on XB-NA. Up to a grand total of (drum roll)... seven. Defo needs a higher drop chance to even out the feast/famine a bit.

Orbital78 · November 13

I get 2-5 a day, usually more around 2-3 but I haven't been doing as many quests lately.

SeaGtGruff · November 13

They are still dropping. I got a couple on PCNA last night from the chest that appears after you stop a siege camp incursion in Solstice. I was really happy to get them, especially from those chests, because I've been having rotten luck getting them from the quest-giver's reward coffers on PCNA, whereas I've been having much better luck on PCEU.

Maythor · November 13

I'm at 11 of 25 .. dreadful drop rates of the shards .. even with the wall drop being brought forwards, we're still stuck doing the dreaded coffers and camps to get this style

Necrotech_Master · November 13

the RNG on the skill style fragments is not great, theres even been days all 3 gold boxes continue to give me the haj mota fragments instead of skill style fragments, even though i finished the haj mota weeks ago

FluffyDoom · November 13

Wish they could summon a new vendor to the Rampart Camp who would exchange the extra haj mota scales for the bone shards.

An exchange vendor would work for lots of other events so that players could exchange for items they want/need and be happy - or you could go to the guild traders but wowza there are some huge price hikes out there (looking at you skeletal marionette parts for almost 500k for ONE, while grab bags during the once a year event are a poor choice for using scarce tickets).

aetherix8 · November 13

They drop but not necessarily every day; on some days I was only getting scales.
I unlocked the style this morning, the last shard dropped from the siege chest.

GeneralGrundmann · November 13

One or two daily since start of phase two. Yesterday I needed only one more for the 25, got three...

that's what i've been afraid of, that the last patch or maintenance from Wed borked them
