Fragment of Legendary Alaran Awarding Incorrect %

    Unless something has recently changed with the Alaran Tear system (since pre-faction bonus week) -- currently leveling a Tier 1 Tear and using 2 Fragments produced 20% total.

    That means the Fragments are only awarding 10% in Tier 1 -- was under the impression it should be 30% and tapering down to 10% around Tier 8/9.

    Reported through Petition -- posting here to see if can be duplicated elsewhere.

    **Also -- wouldn't 2x faction normally INCREASE Tear gains??

    The Tear is not a faction thing...it's a unique thing all to itself. You've never gained extra gains from boosted faction events.

    The percentage gained I have no recent experience with. I've never clicked a tablet in the last 8 years before a tear reached level 10.

    The tablets taper down to 5 percent, not 10 percent.

    Don't click fragments at level 1. You're wasting them. Wait until you have enough fragments banked to finish the tear before clicking. After level 10 you'll gain 5% per click, which is more valuable in terms of overall xp the higher level the tear is.

    Also I have no idea why you might think a faction bonus would affect evolving item xp, but it doesn't. Not a bug.

    Would be nice if there was some place to farm these but as far as I recall they are locked behind the trivial loot code so you can't simply slaughter low level mobs to get them.

    Maybe add them to the loyalty vendor ? or Overseer merchant ?

    Let be more specific -- I've been running `Fear Begins At Home` specifically across a dozen toons sometimes clicking just for the fun of it I've realized these exact numbers:

    As of October 2020, each fragment evolves the tear as follows:
    1 - Very Small Stone Tear - 30%
    2 - Small Stone Tear - 30%
    3 - Small Resonating Stone Tear - 25%
    4 - Small Glowing Stone Tear - 25%
    5 - Very Small Clear Stone Tear - 20%
    6 - Small Clear Stone Tear - 20%
    7 - Small Clear Resonating Stone Tear - 15%
    8 - Small Clear Glowing Stone Tear - 10%
    9 - Stone Tear - 10%
    10 - Echoing Stone Tear - 5%
    11 - Resonating Stone Tear - 5%
    12 - Glowing Stone Tear - 5%
    13 - Heavy Stone Tear - 5%
    14 - Heavy Echoing Stone Tear - 5%
    15 - Heavy Resonating Stone Tear - 5%
    16 - Heavy Glowing Stone Tear - 5%
    17 - Darkened Stone Tear - 5%
    18 - Darkened Resonating Stone Tear - 5%
    19 - Darkened Glowing Stone Tear - 5%
    20 - The Tears of Alaris

    Within the last week -=- something has changed.

    Very Small Stone Tear is only awarding 10% upon Fragment usage. [This is the *BUG* in question]

    Whether or not I *should* use them at level 1 is irrelevant and the mention of faction was a question of ignorance.

    This is my 14th character running a Tear to Level 10 before burning 200 Fragments -- sometimes I like to click the Fragments and see it jump...that didn't happen this time.

    Thanks

    `Fear Begins At Home` -- starting with an NPC in Forsaken territory of Shard's Landing --
    Task: Kill 10 Alaran in the Underground City (any of the workers or guards around first couple rooms...including those sleeping).

    Setup a Fellowship and bring a Druid/Wizzie for the group -- can complete in less time than it takes to refresh the Fellowship for 1 Fragment per member of group. Can be completed in 2-3 days of back-and-forth...the only bottleneck is the Fellowship refresh.

    I think that was the old (original) form of the tear? I seem to remember when they revamped the tear to require less exp (and as such had something like -1 on the original stats), that the fragment gave a flat 10% no matter the evolve level.

    Well, that post and those numbers have been working correctly until last week.

    Received 30% for a couple and 20% on others throughout the Summer in early stages testing out various methods; and most definitely was only getting 5% on anything post-Tier10.

    ~confused~

    My numbers were off but it seems this was the first time I've tried Tier 1...!!
    What a waste !!

    Thanks for clearing this up.
