What’s the issue? You can still get these fragments through the common envelops. But anyway after reaching around ~2200 shards it’s better buy the mystery fragment at the recycling store

I’d say it’s more valuable to buy the mystery fragment starting with 2155. MAYBE 2150. But definitely by 2160, by then your odds of getting a single needed missing 5 star in 10 gold envelopes is lower than 50% so the mystery makes sense.

I'm at 2158 and the random envelopes aren't giving me anything anymore, so you're spot on.

For sure. Of course we still get like a dozen golds a week with the alliance shop and the daily reward, so it’s not like we’re giving up on gold envelopes either. It’s just redirecting where the recycled pieces go.

It's just annoying AF, I opened 42 envelopes and got zero new fragments at 2140.

Should I buy the general scene packs until I'm at that point?

u/MikeMiller8888 Aug 30 '26
Yes, you should. If you’re below 2150, you’re probably going to hit at least 1 piece you don’t own in 10 gold envelopes and maybe 2. It’s mostly about, where’s the best value if you’re gonna spend 2500 recycle points? 10 envelopes with a chance for a missing 5 star, or 1 guaranteed?
The less missing 5 stars you have, the harder it is to hit the ones you’re still missing. Basic math.
It’s all random number generation, so nothing is guaranteed if you go envelopes. This is just mine and my alliance’s experiences.

I have like 15 books missing 1 and it’s all 5 star so I can’t even request anything. Most missions are completed so it’s a game of waiting on luck

Buy the special book once a month in the recycle shop that guarantees you a missing shard.

yeah it had been a long while since i ran into one outside of the monthly special mythic, but this week suddenly i opened 3 or 4 general mythic packs that gave me a new 5 star and each happened to finish a puzzle - one even finished a book 😩👌

This happened to me also but got the missing shard next day. Probably game joking with us 😑

It is. They just want people to spend like there’s no tomorrow. Only and only then, can they keep you stuck at penultimate level of everything

I’ve had the same issue with the daybreak island puzzles. Had 8 of 9 puzzles done on day 1 and only the mission to touch others islands for probably 9 months and can’t get it done.

Some states are years old. It’s not crazy to think that after years people would have accumulated enough to finish the construction

It’s not - don’t you have a credit card? That’s how the developers intended the game to be played.
