Guild Wars 2

On one of the final parts of building my legendary and i need lotsa obsidian shards… fastest way to farm them? I’ve been doing a lot of EoTM and then going to the karma vendor to get the obi shards…. any other ways?

I’ve been getting quite a few from the Balthazar backpack PvP track’s lootboxes

Go on a chest farm hunt in silverwastes. It nets you bandit crests which you can use to buy OBI shards easily.

second this, plus obi shards drop from the chests sometimes too.

I’ve gotten two stacks of obsidian shards by farming Silverwastes, both events/breach/Vinewraith and chest farming.

And that is not even spending any bandit crests to purchase them yet. You can still to that to supplement what you receive by playing.

I’ve been getting them in just about every jewelry box I purchase from the karma merchant outside of fort trinity.

As others said, Silverwastes. You get some karma which can be converted. Crests which can be converted. And, finally they drop in the lockboxes. All while being very easy to do.

An alternative would maybe be Fractals if you’re good at them, decent karma for that option and buy with fractal relics.

Or you can just buy them with Karma from the Balth Temple guy in Straits of Devistation (when Pact has the Temple). That used to be about the only way to get them.

Kind of depends on how much Karma you have collected (I currently have about 750K).

“And so, after 2 months, Existencex.9712 was wondering what the hell he was supposed to do with the flooding excess of Obsidian Shards in his bank..” XD
