Shard drop rate is toooooo low :(

Community tracked data and shard drop rate is about 33%. Unfortunately that’s rng, so you will have more and you will have less. Keep on farming and don’t think too much about it.

Thanks for the info.

I mean...i can handle 2 shards per 5 allowed hard battles (that is 1 out of 5, because each battle potentialy gives 2 shards)...

But 0 shard per 5 allowed hard battles is too much for the heart...lol
And i must add...it happens often for me...

Some days...i spends 120 energies w/o getting any shards...

Sorry for having whined...as i said, it is too much for the heart...lol.

A picts that i posted at my guild's discord.



Oh yes...it happens in cantina too. 12 battles = 2 shards (1 out of 12 battles gave the shards).
Some days, 0 shard x_x

It’s just probability. A 33% drop rate is not a guarantee that you will get one every three tries, any more than a 50% chance is a guarantee that you will get your desired result once when flipping a coin two times. It is entirely possible to get the opposite result twice; it’s actually 25% likely.
So while the odds of being unsuccessful go down with each additional attempt added to a batch of tries, they are never 0%.

Yes i know...

It is like tossing a 100-sided-die. 33 sides score 2 shards and the rest score nothing.

It is possible that when you toss that die 12 times, it always scores nothing.
But it is true that every toss has 33% probability of scoring 2 shards.

Still...knowing the theory and having often the bad experience (score nothing) are 2 different things...lol

It is too much for the heart, if you know what i mean...
Feeling angry when it happens...lol

Absolutely, it can be frustrating. Just keep rolling the dice.

I did 25 sims on nuLeia today

0/5 to start

Then 3/5 (6), 2/5 (4), 2/5 (4), 2/5 (4)

18 shards on 25 sims? Yes please.

I got 12 Boushh Leia shards in 15 attempts

Ooo...so thats how you guys do it...

Sadly, i dont have much crystals to refresh the attemp.
I am new and F2P player.

"New" means i havent been able to participate in those daily side games which give extra crystal everyday.
Like, rank <50 in fleet arena starts to give you 50 crystals everyday.

So...everyday, i stick to the 5 allowed hard battles only.

But then again...how does one explain "2 shards from 12 battles", some days, 0 shard and this is not an exageration...

Except, the RNG probability needs to be upgraded :p

I've had zero Mara shards the last two days, I don't refresh the nodes either. Lots of Dash shards though doing the 3x100 cantina energy.

2/5 seems to be the default, funny how frequently you get 1/0 but how incredibly rarely you get 4/5 to offset those 1s and 0s. Same with gear, I regularly do 12 attempts and the expected outcome is 3 but often I'll get 0-1-2 and sometimes 4-5 but getting 6 is extremely rare and getting 7-8-9 is **** near impossible, it just doesn't seem to happen ever for me at least.

The tracked droprate is around 33%.
