CC shard drop research

plz post your CC shard drop rates and where ur farming

Raptors: 49 runs HM, 0 CC shards

CC Shards are barely dropping. You have to do the quests. But you can only do them once over all characters so I'm guessing I won't have more than a stack. Depending on how many quests I do over all characters.

But I got about 4 from 1 Vaettir Run. (1 run is a full inventory of rares, which is about 30-50 times in and out).

0 hm and nm farming runs 20cc's from quests
0 hours spend farming

Hmm i was planning on farming raptors... mabye I wont. Thanks for this

CC Shards won't drop well. Farm the collector trophies in NM. You will come ahead faster and cc shards will drop once in a while.

around 600 vaettirs and 200 raptors, 2 shards

I've been farming a rather odd place and getting mass amounts of CC Shards... I'm working on my fourth stack right now.

Filled inventory 3 times farming Vattirs - 7 CC shards

4 CC shards with 20+ run vaettirs.

Shards seem to have been scaled back, but other holiday drops are quite frequent I'm finding. Eggnogs, summoners, and fruitcakes are dropping like, well, candy.

1x cc during the charr broil quest if not mistaken.

1x somewhere i can't say, cos Anet will nerf it.

normal mode

on my 6th CC in 5 runs

4 runs between surmia and frontier gate 9 shards

Imo I think snowballing it up is the way to go.

I'm at ~105 shards from like an hour of it.
Ya get a few ZKeys too.

got a snowman summoner drop from a frozen elemental in varajar when I was doing wintersday cheer with my assassin

don't know if those can be farmed though

Farmed vaettir for an hour, got like 50 of the rest and only 2 shards. (and 1 frosty tonic). So you need to throw some snowballs or do the quests.

What is the standard Guru line, screenshot or it didn't happen, lol.

Ive been getting them at about the same rate as the snowmen summoners, fruitcake, and eggnog.. Not that i've been getting much of any of them, lol... I need better farming spots..

My spot as usual is yielding a shard a minute on average. But, I'm not telling my spot as nobody else ever farms this spot or even mentions it. Just goes to show if you don't share your farming spots they stay healthy with loot.

None from raptors, but I get a fair few from just doing gargoyle skull runs out of Nolani. I mean, if you're farming collectible drops anyway (skulls), you may as well farm while you farm :P

c + spacebar outside of the sunspear great hall in normal mode yields about a shard per minute + eggnogs + fruitcakes + sentinent roots and juvi termite legs. best place ive found so far. i use a warrior with a perma speed boost (primal rage is easiest) and one shot everything but that ele boss. really easy, really quick.
