Prophet shards

[AvengeDeathToo.4580]

do prophet shards really only drop from strike missions or can you get them other ways, ie meta events etc?  I have only ever done one strike mission and yet i have 45 or more of each of the three types of prophet shards.  the wiki seems to only say you get them from strike missions but maybe i missed something on the wiki?

They've been in the tier rewards for the first few parts of the Icebrood Saga part of the Return to Living World achievements.

Strike missions and as part of the Return to seasons, so the wiki is correct for the usual method of obtaining them.

something still not adding up, might just be a mystery.  I have 45 blue shards, 45 green shards and 60 red shards.  I have only done 1 strike mission once, forging steel, even if I got the maximum 11 reward shards from that plus the bonus event shards that would only be 36 shards.  If I am reading the wiki right, I got 25 shards from tier 1 of the return bonus events.  Where did the others come from?  Thank you anyway for trying to help.

Did you participate in the World Boss rush? Even accidentally? 🙂
