Level Shift = Lower Shard Drop Rates

Has anyone noticed shard drop rates being lower after slotting a Rare and Very Rare Incarnate Enhancement?

Also, it seems like the shard drop rates are signifigently lower today.

I have noticed no difference in trends before or after slotting Tier 3/4 nor before/after today's update. I have also not noticed any difference in drop rates while dead/in-debt (as another thread claimed).

However.. they did nerf Accuracy again.. d00000m! lol

No. My main is rolling in them.

Random drops are random.

Give it time and you'll start seeing more and think the drop rate increased.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Ran an ITF level shifted last night and came out with 9 shards (actually 1 above my average of 8 per ITF) and at one point had a triple shard drop, so I dont think level shifting matters TBH

Our ITF last night ranged from 10 for me to 1 for one of the blasters. Seems as random as ever.

[Edit] Oh, and the character I used was level shifted.

Nope. I think you are just fine with mobs from lvl. 47-54...

More mobs of Lt. or Boss level = slightly higher percentage of drops.

But, I do think is gets "streaky" in that I have had 4 shards drop in the first mission of an ITF (the Sybils) and then not get another until the last mission taking down Rommie-Nictus.

It's even con or higher, unless you're shifted. 50+
