Guild Wars 2

I know it drops in FOTM, but it is like after level 10 or something?

No, it can drop from level 1 already. Still it isn’t a common drop, so you might not see one every run, more like one in 5 runs or so in my experience.

Thanks Sacrai, I don’t have to pack loads of magic find gear do I?

Please say no.

Magic find does amplify the rate to find it but honestly. I’ve done well in finding them without (or at least with what I had 9-89% depending on whether I had 25 stack luck, used a campfire or ate omnom bars or not)

I never packed any magic find and have found 6 or 7 so far (I am around level 25 in fractals). So I would say it is not necessary.

Keep in mind also that if you ever find higher fractal materials (globs from 10 or shards from 20), you’ll be able to break them into vials through the mystic forge. Recipe is over here

Star peeps – thank you for the info. I hate PvE but will grind this one out cos the backpack is tasty.

you would get more vials if you farm globs or shards.
I bet all 3 have the same drop rate (just drop from different difficulties), but 1 glob can be downgraded to 3 vials, and 1 shard can be downgraded to 3 globs.
vials from levels 1-9, globs from levels 10-19, shards from levels 20+
