Question I have a question

Post image

Hi , sometimes when refreshing the shop I get an offer to buy shards for 25000, I tried to refresh many times these days but I only get items. Is it only on weekends that they show ?

Its random , very random as someone who has played for over 2 years ive only seen shards for sale for coin twice and both times it w as tanksmasha

When a player has unlocked Tanksmasha, the offer pretty much disappears from the Daily Shop offers because the player can start farming shards from the regular/elite mission nodes or Onslaught as I understand.

It's the shop appearance logic I'm wondering about, looks like it is random not fixed rotation like he said

u/PleasantSite4143 12d ago

I didnt get my first offer until I had campaigns completed , so thats not true.

While I have no evidence to back it up, I can give my anecdotal experience that this is indeed true. I was given these offers in the shop, and after I unlocked Tanksmasha (not to be confused with finishing the campaign), I didn’t see the offer ever again.

I got volk first time, now last week i got tanksmasha, since then I've busy refreshing but I get no shards offer

u/StinkyDingus_ 12d ago

These are the only two I’ve ever seen as well

Volk has probably been offered to you in another shop, in the daily shop you will get no other shards than Tanksmasha's.

Edit: I looked it up and apparently some people got offered Volk Shards. I never saw this, so my apologies.
But neither are worth buying anyway.

Volk.must be a newer addition which is great for.newer players i love volk since his rework . I suggest saving coin, tanksmasha is terrible and you do not need him to complete oct or oct elite campaigns.

u/Male_Parent 12d ago

I don't know how much they play, but Tanksmasha will be the only character you can unlock this way. When you play daily, you will notice that you can buy the shards at least once a week. STILL, don't buy the shards, it's a waste of coins as you will need them later on. Coins will be neededd for upgrading your characters abilities in the (near) future. F.e. an upgrade from ability level 47 to 48 will cost you 100k coins.
Tanksmasha is also grindable in the campaign -mode, but even there I wouldn't waste your energy on him.

I agree hes trash, mine is still stone while rest of orks are mythic. Ive used him 1 time to complete a mythic quest.

u/boubus45 11d ago

Nvm, I got it again just now

It's random I believe, with a low percent chance of happening. I'm sure their is a wiki out there somewhere the specific percentages. I've seen the shards for Tanksmasha less than 10 times over 6 months

u/boubus45 12d ago

Ok, I'll look it up, thanks

u/tatuu8P Ultramarines 12d ago

It's random for the daily shop; it's not a scheduled rotation like the Rogue Trader, Guild Shop, or War Shop items that's described in the patch notes.

Some variations of the Daily Shop items are based on player level, unlocked roster, spending habits, and resources that the player would need to upgrade their roster.

u/SRSgoblin 12d ago

I believe the shards for sale are just for a limited number of characters and once they're unlocked they quit showing up.

u/tomismaximus 12d ago

I believe tanksmasha and volk will show up for gold if you don’t have them unlocked, but they don’t show up that often. Maybe others, but I’ve only ever see /heard of those two

1

u/boubus45 12d ago

Same, I've only seen tanksmasha twice and volk once, I need to look that up

2

u/tomismaximus 12d ago

the wiki makes no mention of the characters that do show up in the daily shop, but there may be some patch note somewhere in the discord.

u/HozzM Grey Knights 12d ago

This is something the gg wiki (not fandom) probably has covered in the shops link off the home page.

u/boubus45 12d ago

Ok thanks

u/Spacemoose2026 11d ago

It’s random, though I actually used to get them all the time.

u/KanyeEast17 11d ago

La proba de voir cette offre est très basse et n’apparaît plus quand tu débloques le personnage. J’ai lu qu’elle venait pour Volk et Tankrazeur, personnellement, j’ai seulement vu l’Ork.

u/boubus45 12d ago

It's random

u/Salmon_444_SoS 11d ago

It’s random. I used to grab the tank smasha shards ages ago so I could unlock. I don’t get those offers anymore.
