Not getting any globs/vials/shards frac lv 26
rng is rng, got 3 shards few days ago. Just gotta keep trying.
Yea, but it’s kinda depressing when someone has 50 of them and you struggle for a month and get nothing ;(
yea it gets really lame when that happens like one person in the group getting 8 different fractal skins, but someone else only gets the staff skin and it sucks cause no real effects. So you just gotta keep going till something works out.
In my humble opinion ANet should have added those items to the vendor. That way everyone could buy them with Fractal Relics if they want to.

RNG is indeed RNG.
That said, sometimes I wonder if the loot table is completely kittened up for certain characters. Take WvW and wooden chest drops. Its supposed to contain rare or higher quality drops right? Wrong. Just a couple of days ago I had not one, but two of them drop in the same camp! Oh joy, precious loot! First chest – a white salvageable hide. Second chest – another white salvageable hide. kitten???
I got a few coppers from my last, at least, 2 wooden chest the other day.
I have like 15 of each extra. I spent months collecting those. you should also have to spend months collecting them :P I have next to nothing to spend them on, but I have them :P
things regarding ascended crap I want Anet to change:
MF vials/globs/shards into random ascended item
salvage ascended items into 0-5 ecto and T6 fine mats
MF fractal weapon skins into random fractal weapon skin

Do you skip mobs, or do you kill everything? Just curious.
I got a shard today, nothing’s broken. I too have accumulated quite a few extras. I think the best way to get them, is doing ascalon & dredge maps on lvl 30+. the higher the level the more mobs, and the higher the tier of condensed mist. Good luck.
I got 5 shards on the dregde fractal yesterday… I also got 2 exotics and 3 rares, so it was my lucky day. Never had any shards before that and that was level 28

I kill everything before the Maw, otherwise skip, as I have 4 other people running with me and it’s not a common practice to farm everything in other fractals, in any case you can’t skip much in dredge/ascalon.

Well, I already spent like 2 months+ getting to lv 26, this is not counting the time I spent on my other toon, who’s currently at lv 10, while I only ran lv 20+ for two weeks now – 1 vial in two months+? 0 globs, 0 shards? Come on…
as far as I know, everything has a chance of dropping essence. I think vets at least have a higher chance of dropping them, but I feel like I’ve gotten them from non-vet mobs as well…

this is completely different from the op’s frustration.
when slapping yaks, supplies are a rare quality drop and will grant a chest.
head here to discuss wvw without fear of infractions
You completely missed out when FoTM first came out. The shards were dropping like crazy at 30+, I’ll get 1-2 every run. I’m sitting on 95~ and I broke down 10 shards already. Shards hasn’t dropped like that since the accidently… I mean patch.

Known issue, but not a bug.
+5 supply drop is considered rare, if you have autoloot on you do not see the actual drop item. When you pick it up you get +5 to your supply pool instead of the actual items. The devs do plan on addressing this, I have no idea on priority though.

If you are low on these, I would recommend jumping with some guildies or something and rolling till you get a specific level. IMO, Krait in underwater, veteran ascalonians, and dredge are the best for getting them, in that order.
Well, the curse seems to be finally broken, done lv 26 and 30 today and got 1 shard from each ;P 1 dropped in shaman fractal, from the group at the start and the other one dropped before the maw Whatever happens from now on, at least I will be able to complete my back-piece, so I’m happy. Thanks to all for moral support.
