Guild Wars 2

why are these so rare? I am personal reward level 15 and have 1 glob of mist essence only. At this rate I will never get infused gear. That seems ridiculously rare

They’re more common than exotics anyway, so yeah… run more fractals?

glob is rare, shard its not

i have 140+ shards that means 33% of dailies i did i got a shard

Like LordByron, I have accumulated a lot of shards and very few vials from fractals, however with shards you can forge globs which you can then forge vials.

kk my bad. I got confused. I have only gotten 1 vial so far not a glob. After running close to 70 instances I have 1 vial and that’s it. 0 globs and 0 shards. What level do I get shards and globs at? and are they more common than the vials are at lvl 15 and below?

Vials are lvl 1+
Globs start dropping at lvl 10 – 19
Shards at 20+

Hope this helps.

also for a bug you get vials at jade maw…disregarding your level .-.

kk thanks for link. But are they really supposed to be this rare? I mean 1 drop for 70 instances seem a bit low

what do you mean? do you get guaranteed vials at jade maw?

What they mean is that for levels 1-9 you can only get vials. For levels 10-19 you can only get globs. For levels 20+ you can only get shards.

The bug is that for maw this is ignored and you only get vials. It is not a guaranteed drop.

not guaranteed but if you drop an essence mat during jade maw level even at 48 with 48 reward level its Always a VIAL and not a shard as it should be.

P.S. if you need some essence reroll to dredge and use some MF food you’ll gent 1-4 easily of the correct level obviously.

Level 20 and have started running with 55% MF and still no more drops. Will i start getting more at personal lvl 20+?

You shouldn’t be running with MF in any dungeons. It won’t really help. It would be more helpful if you run with higher survivability/damage so that you can clear the mobs faster.

I ran with normal gear without MF and got nothing in 10 runs but suddenly got 4 shards on the 11th run from trash mobs.

I really hope i have that luck soon. I am beginning to think I will never have infused gear at this rate. They should just allow you to buy the mats with fractals relics i think.
