Guild Wars 2

Does the higher the level of Fractals you go into affect/increase the drop chance/rate of Vials, Gloves, and Shards of Mist Essences?

Probably yes, but don’t worry, drop rates will remains always ridiculously low, no matter what.

Yes, by the time you get to the point where you need 30+ AR you will have more shards then you know what to do with. The drop rate is tied in to far you have progressed. Very low from 0-20 because you don’t need them. As you go above 20 they are something you need and they start dropping more frequently.

Edit: Should also add, 0-10 = only mist, 10-20 = mist + globs, 20+ mist+ glob + shard
