Acquiring Obsidian Shards
You can easily “guest” onto another world where the temple is unlocked.
Check out the gw2stuff website and it’ll show you a list of servers and event statuses.
I got all the (tiny number) Obsidian Shards I have by buying those Orr Jewel Box things. It’s probaby not nearly as efficient as what you’re looking for, but it’s there. It’s not like Karma is hard to get anyway.

Another way to get them is the Orrian boxes, you get back ~90% of karma with all the boosts, which means a box is only 400 karma. My last run was 44 boxes, got 9 shards.
Just an idea

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing, the problem is the Temple does not seem to end up open very often these days. In the past month I’ve seen it open once on another server which I was able to guest on.

No, Orrian boxes. Not the temple. You can get them from Karma vendor through-out Orr.

Ya just use the boxes, there’s a vendor for them right beside the fort trinity waypoint.
Sorry, I was replying to Juno.
I don’t particularly want to go the route of the Orrian boxes for the simple reason it becomes a case of grinding Karma just for a RNG chance of getting the shards. I don’t know what the drop-rate of doing it that way is but doing it like that has become yet another grind.
I just feel that I don’t mind having to do a chain of events that unlocks the vendor but this just happens to be a Temple that is the least “open” for whatever reason, and I don’t want this aspect of the game to become a session of watching websites for the opportunity to buy something in-game.

I feel ya, but like I said. If you are sitting on 1M karma (I assume because of the 250 shards at 2.1kea)

Started with 2M karma, spent a total of 8M with boosts and got 271 shards, not to mention the other loot. Starting with 1M would offer approx half results.
It’s not really a grind, karma is easy to get.
