@Jamiontae hudson i bought the frozen wilds pack and i say it was worth it because of the skills you get from it as long as your killing and looting you have as many shards as your willing to scrap materials
Or just farm the thunder jaw spawn and kill him, you get over 4K XP and roughly 200 shards, plus 3 purple drops each kill. quick save and restart form save. Easy.
UPDATE: Patch 1.10 fixes this exploit. If you do the newest update this method still somewhat works but at a much much reduced rate. Keep that in mind. Thanks Everyone!!
@@manamlimbu still 45+ shards but the processed material blocks have a much lower spawn rate.. So instead of getting 10-15 per search per run now it’s more like 2-3
been coming back to this repeatedly since you posted this...thanks very helpful-...UPDATE: in the space of 3 hours this info has allowed me to purchase EVERY purple outfit and weapon...and if I didnt have a specific heart I needed to buy an outfit I just bought t from the creepy vendor who sells them...THANK YOU!!!!
How did you need to farm for the money? Sry but this is sad, I had all the money just by playing and doing side quests xD Have all purple gear and weapons, mostly purple mods and enough shards. I gues most people just rush main quest and dont bother to explore the world because if you do, you have more resources than you can burn.
Good point for sure. Makes the game more real in a way. Having to work to get money and not having everything definitely changes a way a game is played. Fun the other way too, just depends on how you want to play a specific game. Thanks for watching!!!
Very true I did enjoy your video, thanks for the shard method I may try it out later on in the game depending on how broke Iam lol. Any plans to Platinum the game or just playing for the fun of it. I'm kind of a trophy hunter so I hope to Platinum it.
Alex is a trophy hunter too and has many many platinums. Alex and Nick are going for the platinum, we wish you luck on your journey as we go for it as well!!
If you guys are in the heart of the nora mission, when you first arrive on main embrace gate you'll encountered with a corruptor and slay it. Quick save at the nearest campfire, then reload. Search for the corruptor body and you'll see it always has loots every time after you reload and it contains 60-120 metal shards, 5-10 metalburn, and random modification components (from common to rare). Loot, quick save, reload, profit.
Quest "Heart of Nora" is Nr. 19 in line of main scenario - Aloy is already at lvl 25 as minimum there. Scrapper-spawn is way better on beginning of the game - u can kill them easily with lance in stealth mode ("critical strike" ability is required, but it is one of the first skills u take from the beginning)
Easier way is to do the first trial at the first hunting ground. Use harvest arrow with sharpshooter bow. There are total of 8 grazers with 4 blazes on each of them. Each harvest arrow nets you 6 blazes. 4*6*8 = 192 blazes * 5 shards/blaze = 960 shards. If you sell you get the amount otherwise you got loads of blazes for blast wires!
I literally have over 20k shards just from playing the game and beating the story. I did however farm the behemoths a bit by killing them saving and loading my save, then repeating that process. much faster way to farm shards if you use tripwire with 40%+ dmg mods. 8 wires kills a behemoth. 150+ shards per kill and 2-3 mods
An even better farm I found was the banuk hunting grounds in the dlc. iirc they just spawn dozens of easy kill machines and for some reason they seemed to have a high drop rate for machine hearts/eyes/cores. U can clear the challenge in a few mins, collect all the stuff, then run it again as many times as u want (because its a hunting ground). Also, if you frequently kill and loot machines you come across just traversing the map - you’ll easily end up rich. After three runs and 250hrs- I have a 100k shards lol.
This video actually helped me with getting shards, I had little to none when trying to upgrade my Carrying capacity and getting more ammo, so thanks man!
first question what bow are u using to kikl scrappers so fast im level 30 with the shadow bow and cant kill them that fast two how do u keep ur inventory so not full i have to drop stuff to pick stuff up that has more value like im at 100. 90 percent of the time
Sam Rowe Use hardpoint arrows with the shadow carja bow, at the speed he's drawing it appears he has a very good handling mod and the amount of damage means he's probably got a good tear mod
either shoot scrappers in that thing above their ass with uh... the electric arrow, or use a high dmg arrow and nail the radar on their back a couple times, that hits hard.
This just randomly popped up as a suggested video. This was actually the first game I saw during the start of the old Generation system life and I was so excited to play it... This game is at the top 5 of my list of best old Generation games. Which is truly saying something. Considering it was released as one of the first games released on the old consoles. This game is still very significant in my opinion and should be remembered as one of the best games developed in the past 5 years.
Theres a way to farm very rare modifications, just watch a video on it and you can get like 6 and then travel a small distance, come back and the modifications are in the machines again. You can also get a pretty good amount selling extra modifications and other stuff. I got like 10,000 after like 10 minutes, although don’t quote me on those stats, I just know you get a pretty good amount of shards
Find a thunder jaw spawn point near a campfire, set difficulty real low. Use the trip caster with bombs, insta kill thunder jaw. Save at campfire, restart from last savepoint. Rinse and repeat. I did this to grind levels and between the shard off looting and selling purple mods, I ended up at around 10k shards after an hour.
I think Hunter's gathering? The one with the grazers? Correct me if I'm wrong but that's an amazing way to farm for shards. With the Shadow Sharpshot bow, that special arrowhead assures 24blaze per grazer with about 10 grazers available. And then when killed just start a challenge and abandon and voila! New grazers. You even have a merchant right next to you I had like 13000 shards at the time btw so I didn't check
XDARKFUTUREX I can't remember if the prices are the same for every difficulty or not but according to my math that method isn't that good in ultra hard mode. A harvesting arrow costs 1 wire and 8 shards to craft. Each wire costs 15 shards from a merchant. So each harvesting arrow costs 23 shards. Blaze sells for 4 shards so each harvesting arrow gets you 24 shards worth of blaze. It's just 1 shard per arrow. Grazers do normally give 2 or 3 (if you're lucky) wire per kill and that helps offset the cost. To me it still isn't worth it especially since I'm usually short on wires.
can some tell me the point of farming in this game? am already on the last mission with a few side quest left but i never bought anything beside an 2 epic bow and a shadowcaster the pre order armor gift from gamestop was really good 48 stealth and in the store u can buy one that is 50 2 point more so i passed on it. so after the story why should ppl keep playing and y is shard so important because like i said i never bough that much i felt like armor in this game where pointless not a real rpg where u need to keep changing gear thanks.
trollkiller andy weapon yeah but there is not that many option beside shadow and armor is not really important i did the whole game with the stealth bonud armor that for me is the best bonus in the game. never changed armor and never had any problem now am using the ancient armor u get with all 5 power cells.
They patched it. It cost crystal branding now. Ik I'm really fing late on horizon but I don't care I could play this game over and over I can't wait for HZD2.
Started playing it at the start of December. I got 45 hours in the game and I can't stop playing its just so cool all around. I'm glad I've played it and that it comes with my ps4.
I feel like the duplication glitch is just objectively better. Go to Traps and potions in inventory, only works on those, drop everything, pick it up, drop it all again and it will drop everything x2 and just keep doing that and selling the duplicates. Didn’t do the math but easily over 1,000 shards per min, maybe even 2k if your fast enough
Who was the moron who forgot to put a multiple buy on the vendors in this game..for a game SO SO SO detailed how did they forget this simple thing? lol.
with youtube hiding dislikes on everything now, it seems like the perfect time for another video sharing website to step in, i'm ready to take the leap
I found something that might be faster and each box has 42 shards for sure. What you need to do is go the the first hunting grounds and you do the first trial (nock off blaze from a machine). You need to take off 10 in less that 1:10 l (not that hard) go back and the guy and he will give you a blazing sun and a box. This box always contains shards and it's simple to do.
No need to farm in this game. Through natural playthrough, I have nothing left to buy, with 50k+ shards in my wallet. The in game economy is a little lopsided. Too many mods and resources are dropped. Money flows like water in this game.
no i dont agree , try buying everything in ultra hard mod , well you can 100% game completion without buying anything , but it best to buy , it will make it easier , be like every new weapon is 8000+ shards , i bought everything and already finished , except one weapon , that it 10k shards , and im stuck at 2k
Thanks. And luckily when I got the game I never patched it ever. I'm on version 1.0. And been playing it on this version for some time. I've been getting from 1 to 8 Processed Metal blocks dropped by the Scrappers. usually 6 or 8. I've gotten over 44 in total. Sometimes are better than most. This last farm didnt get me too many Shards....I got like 22 fast travel packs now lol...and like 800+ wood which I ended up dropping. Because wood isn't hard to find in the game. And usually when I get RAW wood from picking it up I get 7 or 8 every time because of my level I am.
That's awesome lol. Lucky lucky you. You are in a great spot then, this stuff still works. Get as many shards as your heart can take lol. Glad the vid helped you out!
Great vid, this will be useful! I'm about half way through the story, but need to buy a new bow, and am struggling with sourcing items to sell in a quick manor. This looks like it'll do just fine.
I'm trying it out tonight (didnt game on HZD last night), and will let you know on the patch fixing/stopping the "stack" of the Processed Metal Boxes. I did have a buddy try it yesterday, and he confirmed they stacked...
Best way to get shards is play the first hunter test or what its called and choose the log one, Then kill as many grazers as you can or when they are dead shoot the blaze off the back with a harvesting arrow, thats 24 blaze per grazer
Greatest video ever! Not only will I never run out of arrows and get very rare coils but I'll never need to craft fast travel packs again! Thanks for the tip
Jordan B i dont know if its random, but before u get to meridian, the outpost, one of the merchants sold me a fast travel pack that never runs out, its purple
No point to crafting fast travel packs when you can buy the Golden Fast Travel Pack which allows for unlimited fast travel. All it requires is access to the western part of the world map. Once you can do that (which requires story progression to get past Daytower), go to the hunting grounds at Greatrun and speak to the merchant. The Gold Pack is located in the resources tab via said merchant and has a trade cost of 1 fox skin, 10 fatty meat and 50 metal shards. All of which are really easy materials to obtain early on. Once you do that, you'll get the Golden Fast Travel Pack which allows for unlimited fast travel for the rest of the game.
Simply playing the game in the same time span, hunting and scavenging, will yield the same amount of shards. Plus, this game rewards nicely and I've never personally been hard up for shards and/or gear. Just sayin.
The patch makes it so you earn considerably less but the general process does still apply. We will continue to look for other ways and definitely make a video if we find any!!
Does the difficulty matter? Because I'm only finding 1 maybe 2 at a time...and I have the scavenger skill as well.. Update: So it's confirmed that in the 1.10 update that they patched this as stated in the "Item Economy Adjustments" portion. However, you can delete the install (not the save game) and reinstall from version one. Just make sure to pause the update file so that it won't download the latest version. But you HAVE to have a save file from that patch version.
the banuk bow it's the strongest type of bow the one he's using is most Likely sharpshot u get it in frozen wilds dlc. And just to brag am ghost lvl 86
also there is a different method to get shards and you always get shards 45 to 50 just like yours but you dont get any of the other stuff you get shards and same material such as coils etc
Do we really need to "farm" for shards? It doesn't take too long to collect shards the normal way and there are also no expensive weapons/armors that need too many shards.
Сыграй на ulrta-hard. Там бл.ть один костюм может стоить по 6-7к. Ох...ешь покупать. Приходилось изрядно фармить. Чтобы тыс 50к накопить. Иначе нехватка оружия и брони. Это если начинать игру с нуля, а не игру+.
We actually have a video on that, you've got to buy those boxes from a merchant, they aren't automatically given to you. Once you purchase it open your inventory, open the box and you will have the pre ordered items and can equip them from there. Like I said though we actually have a video on that specifically so good question, Check it out!!
what difficulty are you playing it on i am on ultra hard trying to get 158100 shards so i can get all of the Adept gear i did this and only got 2 proceeded metal blocks
I can't even reach the main city. I'm working my way to it and I'm stuck on a quest where I have to take out a few corrupted areas and they are 4 levels above me so I'm just getting destroyed.
I was looking up how to get shards yesterday, easier method. Sell half your bombs, drop thr rest, pick them back up, drop them again, a duplicate amount of bombs drops. Pick them all up sell half again and repeat the process. Today is February 16th 2023 and the method still works. You don't need to wait till you get to Meridian the either
@@BigVirg4 There's a glitch where when you drop the item a duplicate of the same item also drops that you can pick up Doubling the amount of bombs for free
How do you deal so much damage ? I am at the same spot before searching for olin and I always end up getting killed because my bows just deal like 35-50 damage, any help would be appreciated :)
Ironically we didn't record it in 1080. We have yet to get a capture card (will be coming in the summer, first game using it will probably be Shadow of War). Nick broadcasted it on Twitch, Alex took it and put it in an editing software and rendered it into 1080 making that the final version. We will be using Elgato though when we get it!!
just farm the grazers on the first hunting grounds with harvest arrows. I did this about 1/4 of the way through the game for like an hour, never needed more shards after that.
Sure!! Just mention us and in the Description have something like: " Thank you Podcast Now for the find! Link: th-cam.com/channels/EnqBREwYT7O57vuu6KpfnQ.html "
I have recently beaten the game and honestly shards are by far the easiest to collect. Currently i have almost 3k shards by killing machines in general. The best tip i can give is to complete side missions, kill machines and loot as much as possible. Sell almost everything non required to the traders especially the ones easy to get by. I also recommend getting the extra resources pack and The loot skill so you can store more valuable items to sell later on.
When you realize when you run out of money... you’re outta ammo too
@Jamiontae hudson i bought the frozen wilds pack and i say it was worth it because of the skills you get from it as long as your killing and looting you have as many shards as your willing to scrap materials
Ammo doesn't cost money you craft them from resources you gather.
@@saintsaber8491no it also takes shards to make ammo lol
Til you play hard on new game plus. Ammo gets rediculous to keep stocked
Saint Saber yeah, you craft them from shards, which is money
800 per minute is misleading this takes WAY longer than a minute. Still a good farm, but you clearly wanted to make it sound extra appealing...
Sorry if you felt mislead by the title! The "Minute" actually came from timing myself starting at the fire up until the last kill.
Also It's based on rng.
Just farm the grazers and sell the things on their butts, 1st hunter lodge has lots, make far more money there.
Or just farm the thunder jaw spawn and kill him, you get over 4K XP and roughly 200 shards, plus 3 purple drops each kill. quick save and restart form save. Easy.
yeah misleading
Alex you can go to thunder jaw hunting group do the killing thunder jaw trail again and again, thunder jaw respond immediately after a new trail start
UPDATE: Patch 1.10 fixes this exploit. If you do the newest update this method still somewhat works but at a much much reduced rate. Keep that in mind. Thanks Everyone!!
Podcast Now so i wont be getting 45 shards? Godamn. I just got this game recently i am always broke. Too late for me😒.

3 years later lol but if you have the disc for the game you can just go back to the first version of the game
Any alternatives?
@@justherevibing7005 how you can do that?

Easier way is to do the first trial at the first hunting ground. Use harvest arrow with sharpshooter bow.
There are total of 8 grazers with 4 blazes on each of them. Each harvest arrow nets you 6 blazes.
4*6*8 = 192 blazes * 5 shards/blaze = 960 shards.
If you sell you get the amount otherwise you got loads of blazes for blast wires!

harvest arrows are expensive to craft though. i just use a fire arrow and blow them up. i hate having to chase them

You can repeat this over and over again. Also you can sell the blaze for 4 shards a piece so that is just more cash. (Let me know if it helps)
tried this out thanks worked out great

This last farm didnt get me too many Shards....I got like 22 fast travel packs now lol...and like 800+ wood which I ended up dropping. Because wood isn't hard to find in the game. And usually when I get RAW wood from picking it up I get 7 or 8 every time because of my level I am.
That's awesome lol. Lucky lucky you. You are in a great spot then, this stuff still works. Get as many shards as your heart can take lol. Glad the vid helped you out!
There’s a thunder jaw you can take down pretty easy you can farm the same way
What is the difference between the light and dark box
I can only get 1-2 processed metal blocks through this method...i am playing on easy difficulty does that play a factor?
thank you for this, straight forward and easy to understand. catch me farmin haha
Really an awesome way to get mods and shards. Thank you and please post more
I now get only 2-5 Processed metal block, is it with the new update?
Yeah update 1.10 Fixed it where you only get about half as many shards by using our method.
Great vid, this will be useful! I'm about half way through the story, but need to buy a new bow, and am struggling with sourcing items to sell in a quick manor. This looks like it'll do just fine.
Thank you so much, glad we could help!!
I'm trying it out tonight (didnt game on HZD last night), and will let you know on the patch fixing/stopping the "stack" of the Processed Metal Boxes. I did have a buddy try it yesterday, and he confirmed they stacked...
Very nice, we wish you luck! Yeah let us know!!
Best way to get shards is play the first hunter test or what its called and choose the log one, Then kill as many grazers as you can or when they are dead shoot the blaze off the back with a harvesting arrow, thats 24 blaze per grazer
what weapon did you use to kill those machines
Greatest video ever! Not only will I never run out of arrows and get very rare coils but I'll never need to craft fast travel packs again! Thanks for the tip
No problem buddy, glad we could help you out. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Jordan B i dont know if its random, but before u get to meridian, the outpost, one of the merchants sold me a fast travel pack that never runs out, its purple
Jordan B there a unlimited fast travel bag. Someone sells it in the city.
No point to crafting fast travel packs when you can buy the Golden Fast Travel Pack which allows for unlimited fast travel. All it requires is access to the western part of the world map. Once you can do that (which requires story progression to get past Daytower), go to the hunting grounds at Greatrun and speak to the merchant.
The Gold Pack is located in the resources tab via said merchant and has a trade cost of 1 fox skin, 10 fatty meat and 50 metal shards. All of which are really easy materials to obtain early on.
Once you do that, you'll get the Golden Fast Travel Pack which allows for unlimited fast travel for the rest of the game.
Jordan B You can buy unlimited fast travel pack from a guy in maridian
Simply playing the game in the same time span, hunting and scavenging, will yield the same amount of shards. Plus, this game rewards nicely and I've never personally been hard up for shards and/or gear.
Just sayin.
What is the dark boxes compared to light?
so every time you go back to the land with the robots they respond
Respawn? Yes, they do.
where or how do you find a processed metal block?
The only place I consistently find them is in Scrapper Piles. In the video I show the location of two. The loot resets on a save or fast travel.
is there any difference between the dark and light box?
What bow are you using to kill all those? It looks really strong
He’s most likely on “story” difficultly (the easiest difficulty)
that scrapper site is also good for farming the purple mods or other kind of mods i didnt think you could do this as well thanks alot
No problem glad we could help!!
what are the arrows that you use to kill them? they looked different from anything i have XD or im just blind
Think they fixed this in the last patch. I'm not getting anywhere near that amount. Any alternatives?!
The patch makes it so you earn considerably less but the general process does still apply. We will continue to look for other ways and definitely make a video if we find any!!
hmm, not this far into the game yet and how do you get those arrows that you are using anyway?
Does the difficulty matter? Because I'm only finding 1 maybe 2 at a time...and I have the scavenger skill as well..
Update:
So it's confirmed that in the 1.10 update that they patched this as stated in the "Item Economy Adjustments" portion. However, you can delete the install (not the save game) and reinstall from version one. Just make sure to pause the update file so that it won't download the latest version. But you HAVE to have a save file from that patch version.
Glad that cleared it up lol. You got it! Thanks for watching man!
What bow is that because goddamn the amount of damage it does is incredible
bob that’s what I wanna know
He’s most likely on “story” difficultly (the easiest difficulty)
@@sorbet2225 no dummy
the banuk bow it's the strongest type of bow the one he's using is most Likely sharpshot u get it in frozen wilds dlc. And just to brag am ghost lvl 86
What is your armor in this video? Looks neat! 😁
Great video! Keep it up! :)
Thanks for watching and commenting, glad we could help!!
also there is a different method to get shards and you always get shards 45 to 50 just like yours but you dont get any of the other stuff you get shards and same material such as coils etc
Cool! What method is that?
check it out its on my channel
Do we really need to "farm" for shards?
It doesn't take too long to collect shards the normal way and there are also no expensive weapons/armors that need too many shards.
Except on Ultra-Hard
Сыграй на ulrta-hard.
Там бл.ть один костюм может стоить по 6-7к. Ох...ешь покупать.
Приходилось изрядно фармить. Чтобы тыс 50к накопить. Иначе нехватка оружия и брони.
Это если начинать игру с нуля, а не игру+.
What bow is that
Very helpful method! thanks man
Glad we could help you!! Thanks so much for watching!
Super helpful. You da real MVP
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it, thanks for the comment and view!!
how to do you equip the pre ordered outfits?
Watch our video: th-cam.com/video/-I_4bCVr38k/w-d-xo.html
We actually have a video on that, you've got to buy those boxes from a merchant, they aren't automatically given to you. Once you purchase it open your inventory, open the box and you will have the pre ordered items and can equip them from there. Like I said though we actually have a video on that specifically so good question, Check it out!!
what's scavenger dark box's for
I learned a couple really helpful things from this video and I'll definitely be farming it still but bummer it got nerfed.
Not sure if this is my iPhone or the vid but I could hardly see anything
what difficulty are you playing it on i am on ultra hard trying to get 158100 shards so i can get all of the Adept gear i did this and only got 2 proceeded metal blocks
You could go to Nora hunting grounds, kill all the grazers, use harvest arrows on all blaze (even works on dead grazers) sell the blaze
“Meridian’s the Giant Ass City”
Ah, i see
This no longer works. I've done this 4 times and I only got 2 processed metal blocks each time.
I can't even reach the main city. I'm working my way to it and I'm stuck on a quest where I have to take out a few corrupted areas and they are 4 levels above me so I'm just getting destroyed.
What do you do when you kill all of them? Like how do you get them to respawn
Either fast travel back to the nearby Fire, or run back to it and Quick Save. Then theyll be back!
Podcast Now thanks!
No problem, thank you for watching and commenting, we appreciate it!!
I was looking up how to get shards yesterday, easier method. Sell half your bombs, drop thr rest, pick them back up, drop them again, a duplicate amount of bombs drops.
Pick them all up sell half again and repeat the process.
Today is February 16th 2023 and the method still works. You don't need to wait till you get to Meridian the either
I don’t understand the point of dropping items here ?
@@BigVirg4 There's a glitch where when you drop the item a duplicate of the same item also drops that you can pick up Doubling the amount of bombs for free
@@RobertSmith-gx3mi I will try it. Thx 🙏🏻
how to get processed metal block now?
It only gives me one on each pile instead of what it gave you 🤔 why
This is the best guide to get shards thank you.
Thank you a ton! We are glad you liked it!!
What about these unlimited arrows in the video?
Do the ancient debris restock or are they unrewable
What outfit is he wearing in the beginning
has this been patched? or did I find this video too late?
3rd May 2017
It's been patched for about 3-4 weeks. Process still works but results in about half as many shards.
How do you deal so much damage ? I am at the same spot before searching for olin and I always end up getting killed because my bows just deal like 35-50 damage, any help would be appreciated :)
This does not work anymore, im getting 3 processed metal blocks tops per run
Yep, we made a comment discussing how the latest patch cuts the amount you can earn basically in half now.
how did you record the game on 1080P what capture card do you have?
Ironically we didn't record it in 1080. We have yet to get a capture card (will be coming in the summer, first game using it will probably be Shadow of War). Nick broadcasted it on Twitch, Alex took it and put it in an editing software and rendered it into 1080 making that the final version. We will be using Elgato though when we get it!!
Thanks man this really helped👍🏻
No problem, thank you for watching!!
just farm the grazers on the first hunting grounds with harvest arrows. I did this about 1/4 of the way through the game for like an hour, never needed more shards after that.
can i upload a video about this on my channel and give you credit
Sure!! Just mention us and in the Description have something like:
" Thank you Podcast Now for the find!
Link: th-cam.com/channels/EnqBREwYT7O57vuu6KpfnQ.html "
Reported to devs
This is totally intentional. It's a feature.
Buy the unlimited travel pack, 50 shards and 10 fatty meat,
Then you can sell the travel packs that the box gives you too. Nice tip thanks alot
I have recently beaten the game and honestly shards are by far the easiest to collect. Currently i have almost 3k shards by killing machines in general. The best tip i can give is to complete side missions, kill machines and loot as much as possible. Sell almost everything non required to the traders especially the ones easy to get by. I also recommend getting the extra resources pack and The loot skill so you can store more valuable items to sell later on.
Im at 26k shards🥲
this time you got about 1205 shards, at start you were at 8747 shards, and ended up with 9952
Hi, I do what you say, but I only get one or two pieces of metal.. 🤔
So am i
