How to Get Harmony Shards in Lost Ark
Once you've completed the main quest, there's still more to do as it opens up the ability to use Harmony Shards. They drop in specific amounts, sometimes hundreds, other times thousands, all within pouches. Once you find a pouch, open it up in your inventory to see how many Harmony Shards it contains.
In order to find them, and plenty of them, you'll likely need to do a bit of grinding. One of the best ways to earn Harmony Shards is by running dungeons. Specifically, chaos dungeons will reward you with the pouches, but you'll need to reach level 50 and have an equipped item level of 250.
The Tower is also a great way to earn Harmony Shards. Again, this is an end-game activity, so you'll want to have reached the level cap to attempt this. The Tower will see you climb through 50 levels, defeating enemies which increase in difficulty but drop better value loot. You'll need an item equip level of 302 to run the first Tower, and 802 to run the second.
