A shard drop question

Do shards still drop from mobs that don't grant xp? Meaning of course that you've unlocked your alpha and can get shard drops, mobs like the Romulus Phalanx in the ITF, or the Consripts from Rikti Comm officers?

Rewards are rolled after an entity is defeated. If there are no rewards for an entity, I imagine that shards are included in that.

This is most likely the case.

I've never gotten a shard drop from Rikti spawned out of a Portal, for example.

I suppose you could let a portal keep spawning them and killing them to test it if you like, but since they don't drop anything else, I imagine they wouldn't drop shards either.

All rewards, including shards, are calculated in the succession of rewards rolls after a defeat. If an entity does not qualify for reward rolls, it therefore cannot drop anything, including shards.
