Guild Wars 2

And before I get the “OMG YOU DONT KNOW THIS?? Filthy casual noob!”, I am aware that silverwastes/dry top gives them out in chests and the story line does too. I am simply wondering if there is a faster way to acquire them (currently working on the final piece to my ascended armor!).

Dungeons i believe, 20 per path per day.
Or a couple in jumping puzzle chests.

Yes, dungeons give 20 per path per day.

Also the Wiki has acquisition broken down for you.

There are a couple of maps out there with farming routes for open world/JP chests that include empty fragments.

I used to run all my level 80s to the low level chests in Queensdale, Wayfarers and Plains of Ashford. I averaged between ~30-45 per char doing that.

As I recall, there are 6 chests in Queensdale, 3 in Wayfarers and 4 in the Plains.

When doing chest trains in Silverwaste I fill my 1500 vault very quickly. Even more so Dragonite. I can’t imagine a faster source.

Edit: Example of very quickly, yesterday I did 7 or so rounds. Afterwards I made 32 stars and 35 ingots. They stack up pretty quickly.

Do SW chest farm amte.. I racked up 2 stacks in a week with no real grinding. I did event and labyrinth got enough badges for 80 odd keys and opened those chests in a farm run.

This is much faster than the dungeons to acquire them .

^ this.

I would have thought WvW or EOTM were the best places. Though it is dependent on how many towers you flip.
