Here is how to farm Magnetite Shards fast & easy in Guild Wars 2 after the February 2026 raid system overhaul. This guide covers the most efficient ways to earn Magnetite Shards through Raid Encounters (formerly Strike Missions), weekly achievements, and bonus methods. I'll also show you realistic weekly earnings.

The February 3rd update increased the weekly cap from 300 to 800 Magnetite Shards and converted Prophet Shards to Magnetite Shards. This guide focuses on beginner-friendly methods that let you earn 230-270 shards per week - enough to buy 10 Mystic Coins and 5 Mystic Clovers with shards left over.

*What's Covered:*
• How Raid Encounters give 8-16 shards based on difficulty tier
• The 800 weekly cap
• Quickplay gives 50% shards (separate guide coming)
• Weekly Raid Encounters achievement gives 15 bonus shards
• Salvaging raid ascended drops for 60 shards per item
• Trading raid minis for 40 shards each
• Realistic weekly earnings: 180-270 shards
• Where to spend your shards (vendors and locations)
• Daily raid bounties and how they work

*Quick Numbers:*
Clear all 14 Raid Encounters once: 165 shards
Weekly Raid Encounters achievement: +15 shards
Daily bounties (1 per day): ~50 shards per week
Total: 230 shards weekly (270 with Quickplay)
10 Mystic Coins cost: 100 shards
5 Mystic Clovers cost: 150 shards

• You can kill the same boss repeatedly until you hit the 800 weekly cap

*How to Access the Raid UI:*
• Big red portal in Lion's Arch Aerodrome
• Any lounge pass (Mistlock Sanctuary, Armistice Bastion, etc.)
