Meteor Shards can be randomly obtained while digging. The chance of getting them depends on your Luck, which can be temporarily increased by utilizing Luck Potions and Luck Totems. For permanent boosts, you can craft gear that offers you a higher Luck, such as the Phoenix Heart and the Royal Federation Crown.

Players get the best chance of digging Meteor Shards during the Meteor Shower. The event increases the shard drop rate, which can be further boosted by utilizing totems and potions.

You'll find several NPCs in need of your help while exploring the world in Prospecting. Interact with them, accept their quests, and complete them to get diverse rewards, including Money, EXP, and Meteor Shards.

Avoid selling minerals like Ruby, Emerald, Osmium, and Iridium to the Merchant. Sooner or later, these precious items will be required to complete quests. You can lock them in your inventory to prevent them from being sold.
