Hello Archon. You need 10 fragments to summon 1 fragmentary summoning bond, so you will be able to get a fragment guardian, purple or orange, by opening it, as with the rest of the bonds.

OK thanks for the clarification

Could someone tell me what the best ways to farm these fragments are right now without heavy spending? Do they drop more often from Persian Positions, or should I just focus on the weekly alliance tournaments? Collecting 10 of them solo feels like a pretty long grind if you are playing casually. 

Archon, you cannot get the fragments by farming  or by spending so, the no-spenders and the spenders have to wait to collect the required golden coins to be ready to get 3 fragments every month. This means you need 10 weeks to gather the required fragments. We get the golden coins only from our personal and coalition labors, plus from Arena. As a player, I would advise you to join a big coalition so you can get the golden coins from the Arena. If your coalition finishes the 150 rings, you might get 100 golden coins. Of course, big benefits always mean big obligations, so first of all you have to upgrade our guardians 🙂 I hope my sceenshots will help you. If you need additional information, feel free to ask.
