Was farming mats in the Narcon Prison lvl 150 hunting ground with my corsair c3 when I managed to get some blessed shards (max of 2 shards dropped at the same time from an elite mob). Might have pillaged them, not sure exactly.
Has anyone else gotten shards as regular drops? Otherwise, this might make pillage rather useful.
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere. A quick search didn’t show any relevant results.
Yes , they do drop in HG .
Pillage is useful 
Pillage has always been useful. Most people just didn’t understand what to use it for.
But yeah, I believe Pillage also works on unidentified gear, but I haven’t confirmed that yet (I have my sound off because I dislike the weird contrast of the music and aesthetic of the game, and repeated sound effects over a long period of time make me tired… so its hard for me to confirm whether a pillage proc happened on unidentified gear yet or not).
Shards drop in HG. Also card albums drop in HG. Gems drop at HG. Higher drop rate for unidentified gear. Good place to farm.
yeah I am building a linker - thauma for the sole purpose of those yummy HG drops.
I’ve been farming on my Corsair constantly since the patch (mostly for 350 materials because 350 HG solo farm rate is too slow on a shitty low damage class like Corsair), and have not noticed pillaging make a single unidentified item drop. This is consistent with how pillaging has always worked, AFAIK it’s never made equipment drop, only materials and recipes. You should be able to pillage shards but probably not card albums, golden anvils, etc. At least, in all my time playing a Corsair I don’t recall ever pillaging a dungeon clear voucher, golden anvil, or any of those other “drops from any mob” items, despite pillaging many monster gems and red/blue orbs which should have a similar droprate.
I recall pillaging Blue Card Albums in Rasvoy Lake while farming Uosis multiple times before this patch removed them, so I’m pretty sure about them, no idea about Golden Anvil/Spell Rods/Hammers of Dismantlement because the rate is so low that it never actually happened on a Pillaging proc to me, but I believe that if you could drop Albums, then you can drop those too.
Same with Shards, pillaged multiple Mithrils/Opals/Shards in HG yesterday, but I didn’t pay enough attention about normal gears nor unidentified equipments to be honest, because blue trash drop rate is so high, but it actually makes sense if they can’t be pillaged… even tho I actually remember I could pillage cube and cube fragments before the patch and for some reason I have a fading memory about farming Nyx Set with my Corsair before Cubes were implemented in HGs, but I can’t confirm on this last thing honestly.
