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

✭✭✭✭✭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.Edited by AcadianPaladin on November 13, 2025 10:10PMPC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo1 -

✭✭✭✭✭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.1 -

✭I didn't get any yesterday or today, but I am still getting loads of haj pieces3 -
MATH_COW✭✭✭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.An Imperial Cow Warden | PC-EU5 -

Silmos✭✭✭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...3 -

✭✭✭✭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!

✭✭✭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.Edited by BretonMage on November 13, 2025 12:10AM1 -

✭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.

nadrokal✭✭✭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 this3

LootAllTheStuff✭✭✭✭✭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.

SeaGtGruff✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭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.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -
Maythor✭✭✭✭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

FluffyDoom✭✭✭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).
