Shard Drop Questions

Hi,

So I know shards are meant to drop from all content now.

Particulary for the purpose of doing a lower level tf/sf. I've gotten them a few times that one already, which is nice.

Do they drop from any foe that gives a reward/xp? So running missions at -1 on a 50, fighting level 49 foes should drop shards?
Or is it still level 50 foes only unless you are super side kicked down?

Do they drop from devs choice arcs in AE? The arcs that give real rewards not tickets.

thanks,


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

If you run at -1, they don't drop shards. They must be at least equal to what the number in your XP bar says.

I'd say "your combat level" or "your effective level" but level shifts throw that off...

For Dev's Choice arcs, I honestly have no idea. I figure if they drop actual rewards, they'd drop shards too.

Thanks for answering.
I'll have to try the dev's choice for curiosity's sake.

I was doing a mission where some of the enemies were forced to spawn at 49, and I got shards. I suspect that the actual criteria would be "Cons white or higher to your current level, before level shifts". That would allow Lts and Bosses to drop shards, which is all I can think of to explain it.

Where is that rule that the mobs must be your level or higher? Or con white and higher? Is that just from play testing or is that rule in something official?
