Element Shards

All 6 Elements of Harmony

The Element Shards   are fragments of the Elements of Harmony, used to activate the Harmony Stones and to defeat Parasprites, Changelings, Vampire Fruit Bats, Plunderseed Vines, Cragadiles, and King Sombra's Corruption. After a Harmony Stone is activated, Shards can continue to be used on it to award Bits   and, rarely, Gems   (in case of Kindness, Loyalty and Magic you receive 1   per 200 shards, but you have to pay them all in one session, because if you logout the counter gets reset back to 0), defeating Parasprites, Changelings, Vampire Fruit Bats and King Sombra's Corruption also awards these.

Element Shards are obtained by collecting from shops, playing the Balloon Pop Mini Game and the Crystal Mine Game. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Stratus Skyranger and King Sombra additionally rarely perform a special dance animation after being welcomed, after which one of each shard is generated. Certain characters may also randomly perform an animation in which they float into the air, which also generates these shards. Laughter Shards are the most often collected shards, and Magic the least, though individual shops reward certain shards more often than others. Please note that you can only have 999 of each type of shard at a time.
