For me, it was that at the start of playing I was getting blue shards like 2 per week. Afterward for like 3-4 weeks 0. Refreshing the market around 10 times per day. After these 3-4 weeks again I got like 2 blue shards. And now nothing...

Thanks for the reply Cirilla. 

Surely you would agree that 10+ searches on the market each day, for more than 1 month without a single blue shard seems a tad low?

Hello everyone! We can't reveal any numbers regarding the limit of Sacred Shards that you can find on the Market, but would like to assure you that they are, indeed, there. The talks about being able to find them in the game only during the first week are just rumors. Try to check what is being offered to you on the Market as often as possible. And remember that you can also find some good Artifacts and champs there :)

If the rumors arent true, the chance for seing 6+ ancient shards per month must be ridicoulus small, as I am one of those guys, that check the market 10 times day, never having more than 5 blue/month. And funnily those all appeared within the first week of each month. 

Hello

From my experiance, this is completely random, I've been playing for a long time(8 months plus), and found that I can go without seeing one in the market for ages, then all of a sudden, I could get some, just luck of the draw(RNG).

Really? Good champs at the market? Are you kidding?))) Even in the official Plarium video was told what 1* and 2* champs is just a foodder crap worth only for improving 3*+ champs.

And there is no 3* champs at the market. So... no good champs there at all.

Good artifacts? Yes, they appears there with chance like a getting epic from blue shard. It any other cases market is just a trash feature and a part of boring daily activity "Buy some crap at the market".

I am playing since approx. 3 1/2 months now and do refresh the market 5 to 10 times a day. Got around 7 ancient shards out of it. Champs offered are indeed only for fodder you can get in different ways. Good 5* artifacts are often of the same set you do not really need/use. If there is e.g. a good 5* lifesteal artefact (brest, glove or shoes) which is really very seldom offered it has the wrong main stats.

Sister Militant is an example of a 1-star hero that actually serves a purpose late game. Since her A1 is an AoE hit, some use her for the Spider Dungeon to kill off the little hordlings.
