The Shards seems to be really, really rare, maybe that's why this event will last so long.
I can easily see the Golden Phat being 200m+ with the current rarity of the shards.
I think many will give up and just get bored of trying to obtain the shards.
I managed to get 1.5m EXP in Farming without a shard, so drop-rate is probably like 3m+ exp for a piece
I assume that once enough players start to complain about not obtaining a shard, they may boost the drop rate for certain skills. We do have 6 weeks to obtain one and if you are planning on getting a shard a day, thats only 8 days until the first Gold Phat. If someone gets the 1st Phat today, then that will encourage more people to grind.
Q: Some of the shards come from drops but I have terrible luck. What is the likelihood I won’t be able to finish it?
A: Slim! While there is an element of RNG to collecting the shards, they also have in-built 'bad luck' protection. As you continue to train a skill or complete clue scrolls, the likelihood of getting a shard grows exponentially. Essentially, it's our intent that players who are actively playing throughout this event will be able to create their own hat without too much worry
Q: Will Protean items drop the shards?
A: Yes, Protean items will be able to drop their relevant shards.
Q: Where can I buy the shard that's for sale?
A: Nic the Trader will sell you a shard! You can find him at the Grand Exchange.
Q: Does the clue shard come from completing a Clue Scroll or from the Casket?
A: The shard will come from completing a Clue Scroll.
