Is the drop chance of Shards vert low, or do they only drop after you finished Hell difficult?
I'm finishing hell, middle of Act 5, no rush, I'm doing all the quest, getting all the waypoints, no Teleport or (Blade Warp), and killing everything in my path, and not a single Shard dropped yet

Yes, it is very low and I stopped "hunting" them. I don't know if there is somewhere a list with their exact drop rates. The best summary I have seen is the Reddit post from Pavke
After a 20 year break from D2 I started playing D2R in 2024 with my sons (9 and 10 years old)

Its just RNG. In my case those are kinda raining considering the low chance of drop. I got 2 yesterday in matter of 2 minutes almost back to back. In the 3 past days I got 7 for act I, 6 for act II, 5 for act III, 6 for act IV and only 2 for act V. How long is your average farm session?

personally i find them more often outside of t zones. i have only gotten 3 sets total with up to 10 of some. the southern and deep ones seem to be the rarest in my case. i heard farming the jail is one of the only spots to get one of the shards.
On the shards pages is said that there is a mlvl interval that has more chances to drop them, this explain why you get more in no tz farms (fixed mlvl) than tz (mlvl = clvl + 5 for uniques)
