Scope and unresolved details
- Regional shard totals conflict in the collected sources, so the page avoids presenting a single global total.
- This page reflects launch-period sources checked on 30 October 2026. A later patch can change exact values, menus or quest availability.
Regional shard counts and the 40-versus-41 difference
The regional list totals 41 marked spots. PowerPyx separately counts 40 shards, producing exactly ten whole Ambers; Steam's achievement also asks for ten complete Ambers. Treat 40 as the supported completion target and check the game's own map if one route marker yields no pickup.
| Region | Amber shards marked |
|---|---|
| Weeping Creek Valley | 4 |
| Crimson Forest | 6 |
| Village of Lu | 4 |
| Pangzhen | 8 |
| Mirage Estate | 4 |
| Mandate Encampment | 4 |
| Meigu Lake | 7 |
| Mountain of Imprisonment | 4 |
| Mount Soulrend | 0 |
