Hi Tenno,
If you caught the news in Devstream 167, we are introducing a “pity” system to increase the chance of players receiving Tauforged Shards from their weekly Archon Hunts.
With the approach of Citrine’s Last Wish later this month, we wanted to share a larger overview of how this system will work for our avid Archon Hunters!
NOTE - the following Probability Changes will come into effect the Monday following the update so as to not interfere with the current active Hunt. We will include full dates and times in the notes when the Citrine’s Last Wish Update goes live.
TAUFORGED ARCHON SHARD PROBABILITY CHANGE:
Each time a specific Tauforged Archon Shard (Amber, Azure, Crimson) is not your reward from completing an Archon Hunt (i.e. you received a regular Amber, Azure, or Crimson Archon Shard), your chance to receive a Tauforged Shard of that variant increases in the next respective Hunt.
The base probability for an Archon Shard to be Tauforged is 20% and increases by 20% (up to 100%) for each Hunt that does not reward that specific Tauforged Shard. The probability resets back to 20% once that Tauforged Shard variant is rewarded. The chance % will be indicated via the Archon Hunt Navigation panel for the Shard color that is currently available.
Here is an example of how several weeks could play out:
(This is not a reflection of the current/upcoming Archon Hunt rotations)
Week 1: Archon Nira is active with a 20% chance of a Tauforged Amber Shard. Completing the Hunt does not reward Tauforged, your chance increases by 20% to earn a Tauforged Amber Shard the next time Archon Nira is active.
Week 2: Archon Boreal is active with a 20% chance of a Tauforged Azure Shard. Completing the Hunt does not reward Tauforged, your chance increases by 20% to earn a Tauforged Azure Shard for the next time Archon Boreal is active.
Week 3: Archon Amar is active with a 20% chance of a Tauforged Crimson Shard. Completing the Hunt does not reward Tauforged, your chance increases by 20% to earn a Tauforged Crimson Shard for the next time Archon Amar is active.
Week 4: Archon Nira is active with a 40% chance of a Tauforged Amber Shard. Completing the Hunt rewards Tauforged - huzzah! Your chance resets to 20% for the next time Archon Nira is active.
Week 5: Archon Boreal is active with a 40% chance of a Tauforged Azure Shard. Completing the Hunt does not reward Tauforged, your chance increases by 20% to a total of a 60% chance to earn a Tauforged Azure Shard for the next time Archon Boreal is active.
Rinse and repeat!

Players can look forward to this change, and so much more, in Citrine’s Last Wish, coming later in February!
