Shop - is there an ancient shard cap?

I wondered out loud today whether you removed ancient shards from the shop, as it’s been roughly 3 weeks (and a few hundred gems) since I’ve seen one. The response I received was that there appears to be a monthly cap of 4...


Is this correct, and if so, can you please confirm it so those of us who refreshed shop with the hope of getting ancient shards (seeing as drop rates for them seem to have been lowered as well, and with the expected update we have no reason to farm giant, dragon, FK or spider as those 5* items will become irrelevant) can avoid wasting our time and gems?



Has anyone else noticed this or seen similar anecdotal evidence of this cap? 


I am logged into the game way too much already, but there are times I’ve been seeking just to see the market refresh and frankly if there aren’t possible ancient shards I’d rather not waste my time.


Please let us know as I’m sure this is of interest to others as well!

i'm not sure ... mods said multiple times there is cap and that it's limited, but never said how much ... (some people say they get 5 per month, i got 3 in last 5 weeks), so i guess average would be around 4


as for shop refreshes ... don't do it, it's not worth it at all

I dont know about the cap, but i havent seen it for almost a month already. I’ve been playing for about 4 months. Checking the shop about 14 times a day. I can say that i havent got more than 4 shards a month. But that is just my statistic.

Yeah when the counter resets I sometimes get up to two shards in one market offer. Then there's none for the rest of the month, no matter how often you check.

My anecdotal evidence is that it comes in spurts. I would find ancient shards 2 ancient shards within 3 days. and another a day later. Then I won't see one for weeks at a time. So the cap would make sense judging by my experience.

I see something very similar. When I see them I see them for a day or 2 then nothing for weeks.

Hello guys! There is a cap, indeed, per month for each player. Otherwise, we would have no way of restraining those lucky ones that know how to manage RNG :) There is no specific pattern to how often or when Ancient Shards appear on the Market, that is all decided at random. I am afraid, I cannot elaborate on what the limit of the Shards is, but you can find that out empirically.

Last 2 months i've got 5 shards per month from Market. In Reddit there seems to be consensus of 5 shard cap per month.

Then you should make an "i" as info about this inside the market. People splent gems to refresh market for these shards have the right to know. Same goes with dungeon drop. It said 4*-6* when infact 6* is locked and wont drop. Not all gamer use discord or come to forum. Better give people straight info instead of making them having false hope.
