Open Letter to ArenaNet: The new SS economy
you get 3 per day by completing (any) 3 daily achievements
Doing the daily also gives you three SS. As for getting them as a drop I don’t believe I’ve got any yet, but if it goes straight to the wallet I just may not of noticed.
Aside from dailies, I’ve gotten them as drops, rewards from PvP, and from champ bags. It took me a while to pay attention to the loot stream to notice since they get dumped right into the wallet.
You should get one for leveling, don’t you?

Yes, you do.
No. You don’t. at least 10 levels past 80 and my SS is still at 39 post patch (you should though IMO)
I posted this to Reddit though, who explained about dailies (which I never paid much attention too.)
I simply haven’t explored enough of the map (only at 38%). Happy though, since dailies are giving me new impetus to explore. Having fun again, and off to unexplored region of Orr (to get my kitten handed to me no doubt!)
Thank you GW2 community for being so friendly and accommodating to this neophyte necro on a very rare night off!
What do we need spirit shards for? I’ve been at this so long I had over a thousand skill scrolls in my bank before the change so I’m out of touch with the new player experience.
That said, having that many in my bank, they must not have been that important in the first place.
Forget about the spirit shards.. same game, still fun like mad
Ack! You are correct. We get Hero points when we level.
Tome of Knowledge should give kitten to a past 80 char.
Agree. Mapping used to be my main source of skill points since I popped all XP buffs and then would kill everything I came across. Now the main source of skill points through champ bag farming with the best way is chest farms in Silverwaste which I’d rather not subject myself to a mindless grind of running around in circles.
As a result, I have no skill points left for more ascended or anything else.
I realize that xp will eventually go to the mastery system when HoT comes out but in the meantime, it would be nice if we could still get spirit shards from leveling until the new system is brought in.

Tomes of Knowledge to give a spirit shards as a reward for a lvl 80.
OP, personally, I don’t have an issue with the new system. Haven’t seen any accounts of drop rates for the shards, but personally, I do notice a fair number for my sessions.
Edit: I don’t do SWs.
I’ve actually noticed myself getting MORE with the new system, from drop bags
