I used the shards that the game gave me for the first time and when i joined the begginer difficulty i had to turn off my phone and when i opened the game again the shards were gone please help me.
Finally got 10,000 shards for a normal rift, entered, ran out of energy right before the boss. So I took a little break to build some energy, and when I came back to he rift was closed, shards are gone.
I found out after they are only open for 1 hour, maybe I’m wrong but I never saw anywhere that it’s only open for an hour, Kabam should make it a big red warning when you enter.
I know in a few days these shards will be much easier to get, but I busted my hump to try to get a good head start, now I’m behind the guy that didn’t open his mail yet with his free shards.

Seriously !!!!! It was on the first page of this thread and in the in game mail
I'm new to rift I've done very well on normal on the 1 were no shards needed but on chaos rift were use shards how much quest energy will I need . also I'm solo fighter but have 12 tickets and would love to swap gifts any takers.
You said we can purchase shards after 9 April.. where I can purchase??? As it took me more than a week for single time entry and still giving worst reward.. do I need again wait for weeks again
Can't we simply buy the Shards??? I have done with one entry and completed monthly quest too.. now what?? Should I just do + and + and + to reach till 10000 ???

They said we can get crystals instead of rifts on that date, still need the shards. do all the monthly events
Not seen since the instability of the early tremors preceding the Elder’s War, Rifts have returned as a result of the chaos created with the scattering of the Infinity Stones! Laden with valuable prizes, Chaos Rifts require Chaos Crystal Shards to keep their entrance stable, and only remain open for 1 hour! Chaos Crystal Shards are strewn all over the Battlerealm, and it’s up to YOU to find and use as many as they can before they disappear once more!
Chaos rifts will be available from March 26th at 10:00 AM PDT until May 2nd at 10:00 AM PDT (end date updated by moderator on April 16). You will need to be on our forthcoming build to see and participate in them.
For those of you who have no idea what a Rift is, or even if you do, below is a run-down of how they work.
WHAT ARE CHAOS RIFTS?
Chaos Rifts are quests that have ENTRY COSTS. That means you won’t be able to enter them until you collect 10,000 CHAOS CRYSTAL SHARDS and spend them to enter. Like previous Dimensional Rifts, there are 4 tiers of Rifts, and 4 corresponding tiers of Chaos Crystal Shards. This means you’ll need to collect 10,000 Tier 1 Chaos Crystal Shards to open a Beginner Rift, 10,000 Tier 2 Chaos Crystal Shards to open a Normal Rift, and so on.
Once you spend your Chaos Crystal Shards to enter the Rift, you’ll have 1 hour to collect your prize and defeat the final boss, but it’s not so simple! The path you’ll be sent to is determined by a RANDOM PORTAL, so you won’t know what prize you’ll receive until you enter! Rifts of different tiers contain different rarities of prizes, with the highest tier containing a FULL TIER 2 ALPHA CATALYST and a 5-STAR CLASS AWAKENING GEM.
So, that’s the gist of it. Collect Chaos Crystal Shards of Different Tiers, and use them to open Chaos Rifts of the corresponding tier, then claim cool prizes. Here’s a handy breakdown of some key info:
BEGINNER: 10,000 TIER 1 Chaos Crystal Shards - 2 Energy per step - (24 energy per play) NORMAL: 10,000 TIER 2 Chaos Crystal Shards - 3 Energy per step - (36 energy per play) HEROIC: 10,000 TIER 3 Chaos Crystal Shards - 4 Energy per step - (48 energy per play) MASTER: 10,000 TIER 4 Chaos Crystal Shards - 5 Energy per step - (60 energy per play)
HOW DO I GET CHAOS CRYSTAL SHARDS?
There’s 3 places you can collect Chaos Crystal Shards: Solo and Alliance Events, as well as the monthly Event Quest. Additionally, Lower Tiers of Chaos Rift provide 5,000 Chaos Crystal Shards for the next tier up, which means every time you complete 2 of a certain tier of Chaos Rift, you’ll get 1 entry into the next tier up! In the case of the Tier 4 (Master Difficulty) Chaos Rift, it will instead award 500 5-Star Crystal Shards.
You’ll be able to earn 2,000 Chaos Crystal Shards from completing an Event Quest difficulty, and another 8,000 from full Exploring the same Event Quest Difficulty.
UPDATE: 3/22/2018 @ 12:30PM PDT
Some more context on where to get Chaos Crystal Shards:
- Chaos Crystal Shards will be available from NEXT month's Event Quest, not this month's. The Event Quest is launching shortly after Chaos Rifts, however.
- The Event Quest's Uncollected Difficulty will award the same amount of Tier 4 Chaos Crystal Shards as Master Difficulty.
- Solo Events awarding Chaos Crystal Shards begin on MONDAY MARCH 26th (PDT) alongside the Rifts.
- Alliance Events that contain Chaos Crystal Shards are the 3-Day Events, the first of which will arrive on WEDNESDAY MARCH 28th (PDT)
- A welcome message will arrive in your inbox on MONDAY MARCH 26th (PDT) containing 10,000 Tier 1 Chaos Crystal Shards.
- There will ALSO be a login calendar running that awards Chaos Crystal Shards that begins on MONDAY MARCH 26th.
HOW MUCH ENERGY DOES THIS COST?
Chaos Rifts, like their predecessors Dimensional Rifts, cost 2-5 Energy per step, depending on difficulty:
BEGINNER: - 2 Energy per step - (24 energy per play) NORMAL: - 3 Energy per step - (36 energy per play) HEROIC: - 4 Energy per step - (48 energy per play) MASTER: - 5 Energy per step - (60 energy per play)
HOW HARD ARE THE QUESTS?
You’ll face off against 5 Enemies in Chaos Rifts, all of whom are randomized from a select pool. Their difficulty is roughly equivalent to the corresponding Event Quest Difficulty. As a rule, if you can beat a certain difficulty of the Event Quest, you should have no issues completing a Chaos Rift of the same difficulty. Here’s a quick breakdown of what Buffs are present in each difficulty of Rift (note that unless a Buff is marked as Global, it only applies to the final Boss):
WHAT IF I FAIL THE QUEST?
Just to be SUPER clear: QUITTING OR NOT COMPLETING THE QUEST WITHIN THE 1 HOUR TIME LIMIT WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF BOTH THE CRYSTAL SHARDS USED TO ENTER THE QUEST AS WELL AS ANY REWARDS EARNED INSIDE THE QUEST.
WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO DO THE QUEST?
Great Question! We know that even if you’re unable to beat a certain Event Quest Difficulty, you may end up with enough Chaos Crystal Shards to open a Chaos Rift. If you’re not so keen on doing that, though, you can always use those Shards to Open a CHAOS CRYSTAL.
Chaos Crystals award SOME of the prizes a Chaos Rift of the same tier does, but not all, and they ALSO only award 2,500 Chaos Crystal Shards for the next Tier up as opposed to the 5,000 up for grabs in a Chaos Rift Quest.
If you are able to complete a Chaos Rift, it is ALWAYS better to play a Chaos Rift instead of opening a Chaos Crystal.
Chaos Crystals will not be available until April 9th.
WHAT ARE THE REWARDS?
Glad you asked! Below is a breakdown of what the potential rewards are for both Rifts AND Crystals, as well as the drop rates for both. Since Chaos Rifts are essentially crystals you play, it was important for us to let you know what your odds of receiving a certain prize would be.
RIFTS
CRYSTALS
I have done the painstaking tedious task of 100% normal, heroic, master and uncollected. Done all rifts 4 times, I currently have 5k for master chaos rifts, is there any other way to get another 5k master chaos shards? I want to try my bad luck at a 5th attempt..
Hi everybody. I have a question that i couldn't find the answer here. What will happen to the remaning shards that is lower than 10.000 . Will they be converted to gold like in the valor event.
Shouldn't we have gotten 1000 rift shards today? I looked at the calendar before the rollover and it appeared we would. Now, despite not missing a day, I've been left with 9000 fragments and it has delayed me being able to do normal, heroic and master rifts.
I really like the inclusion of these events but the one thing I'm always worried about is being so burnt out after. The Thor Ragnarok event was extremely time consuming and left me needing a vacation. I hope these are more spread out and they don't require energy or else this is going to be a very labor intensive month for this game.
I'm excited but still think players need more balance with events at times.
How does one go about getting green shards... I got the ones done on the event quest... but yesterday’s free gift that gave out 1k of them I didn’t get... I’m 1k away and I need to get them bc I have 5k in every other one
So what happens to the shards we cannot use? The crystal and the rift cost the same amount... So if we dont have 10k of any type of shard do they just disappear?

I’ve tried to remain positive and told myself that at least I’m getting the dupe rewards but it’s still bittersweet.
