I've gotten these using Chordy and his Luck Nose ability. They seem pretty rare to get sadly

Trade with one of your abomination's Clyde to get a weapons appearance once your exalted with the stitchmasters.

Comment by VolksDK

The only purpose of this is to purchase Arsenal: Stitchmasters' Weapons with 750 of them and an extra 30,000 Reservoir Anima.

Comment by Niixten

I've gotten 12 Anima-Touched Weapon Fragments per hour using Chordy at the second floor in Oribos. I were only at that side where there are no big zone portals.

Edit:I think they buffed the drop rate on Anima-Touched Weapon Fragments from Salvaged Supplies. I get a bunch of them but sadly Arsenal: Stitchmasters' Weapons also cost ridiculous amount of anima.

Comment by minipp

Made an account just to post this... I've done the Chordy quests every week since launch (yes I want to commit seppuku every time I do this quest) and only have 7 of these. Yep, 7, and I'm half way exalted to the Stitchmasters. Good Luck...

Comment by Kherneas

the fact that the drop rate for these is still so abysmally low for an item whose only function is to let you pay 30k anima for weapon recolors is ridiculous

Comment by Morgomir

started getting these from the weekly quest bags from the Stitchmasters

Comment by Lilbolt

Today I got 37 of these in total from opening 12 Salvaged Supplies from the abomination stitching quests. Must've been added in 9.0.5.

Comment by Galnis

Drop rate as well as drop amount seems to have been massively buffed after the patch:
Before the patch I was averaging around 15 fragments per hour. Today I've been averaging around 100 per hour.

halls of atonement + chordy. 3 loots (7, 11, 8) within 5minutes

Comment by chiboy79

lol this tells me that my class cant even use it. Warlock! and there is no other item to spend these on. Sounds like Blizz may have missed something here

Comment by alpanhell

Not sure why ppl are upset that they are only finding these rarely. If you need 30k Reservoir Anima for the one thing you can buy with this I don't see anyone buying this very soon.

Comment by FrozenZerg

I just wanna give an advise to anyone wanting to farm Anima-Touched Weapon Fragments with Chordy.

I found a good spot at the exact coord 45.95 51.97, nears where Tahonta can spawn, i can't explain why it's better but it is.
It's a really precise spot that means eveytime you get the clickable you have to replace to 45.95 51.97 to use Chordy's capacity again.

At that exact location when you gonna use Chordy you gonna notice this little fellow will mostly move less than most other locations. In a normal spot, usually and most of the time you gonna see Chordy moves in 2 two times, the first time he moves in a direction, then makes a little break and then he goes on another direction and finally he makes spawn the thing on what you must click.

With my spot, not everytime, but really most of the time you gonna watch him find the clickable in the first time, that means he won't takes his little break and change another time his direction and you gonna save more time.. As i said sometimes he might still does it but it will be more rare to see than in randoms locations. There probably other place like that in the game but i found mine by chance and i wanted to share it.

Also i wanted to add that i'm a demo warlock and i have my Tyrant that is able to buff other creatures that are with me with a purple visual effect, it made me see how the mechanic works, in fact the clickable is not spawn immediately when you press the button, there is an invisible moviing object and Chordy has to catch him to makes it become visible, this is how it works.
My coords makes probably that invisible thing spawn really nearer Chordy than other locations when you press the button, that would explains why he is able to catch him faster most likely.

Note there is also 1 problem with that spot, it's not common but sometimes the clickable might spawn on some kind of dune behind and it gonna be impossible for you to click on it, it gonna be 15sec lost for you but that's really minor compared to the time you gonna save. However you gonna be pleased to heard that there is most likely no foes around.

I also recommend you to not farm this awful quantity in one time, try to set daily objectives ro reach, like 50/100/150 a day or you gonna become crazy with that terrible RNG.

I really hope my comment gonna be useful to anyone. Good luck.

I have 69 Anima-Touched Weapon Fragments. What are they good for?

Comment by thanyou

In Blizzard's infinite wisdom, the time it took to get 750 of these without specifically grinding it out is probably the same estimated time they expected people to get 30,000 anima at the beginning of the expansion :l

Comment by schnizol

with 9 fragments received on average, and assumin you get them once every 10 lucky nose casts, you will need to cast lucky nose 833+ times. That is if you are lucky. I could go 20 casts without fragments. It's way too much work/time for recolors of weapons. Sadge design.

Comment by Meagogo

Was looking here for some info on which way to farm these on a later patch but did'nt find any answers, so I tried one for myself. My guess is this will also apply for the 9.2.5 patch.

I went with the Chordy path, since there's no time restrictions (the other method is doing the weeklies for Salvaged Supplies).

Did'nt find any "good" spot for farming. The *!@# you click on is hard to see no matter where I went.

Started with ~370 Anima-Touched Weapon Fragments. It did take a few hours until I hit >750.

I looted 547 of the normal gray you get from looting (Shattered Memento). Plus around 50 random gray equipment and 16 Malleable Flesh.

So for around 380 Anima-Touched Weapon Fragments I had to click about 600 times. Which means it took me at least 2,5 hours to farm what I needed (15 secs CD on Chordy ability).

Comment by Zetherior

! CHORDY IS MAKING IT WORSE FOR YOU !

If you DESPAWN Chordy, the treasure will ALWAYS spawn, and quickly too

That's right, Chordy being present is what causes the ability to frequently not find treasure

I found this method recently while grinding to my 750 fragments and can confirm from farming 350 fragments on the day of posting this comment that it works 99% of the time

-

First of all, you need flying, and you need to be on a flying mount and in an area you can fly to execute this method (you can use the ability and pick up treasure while mounted)

Right after you use the ability, take off from the ground to despawn Chordy then immediately land and wait for the treasure to spawn (up to 15 seconds), make sure to stay on the ground as to not interrupt Chordy's respawn timer. This will do two things, 1: Chordy will respawn before the ability comes off cooldown (no downtime) and 2: the treasure will always spawn after a single cast (99% of the time) and you'll have time to loot it before using the ability again and repeating the process.

Now, this presents one big problem, if Chordy is not there to lead you to the treasure, how are you meant to find them?

Well it's simple, you need a large, flat, bright open area with no foliage or clutter

I spent a good amount of time searching for the perfect area, and I believe this is it, in Bastion on top of a large large rock bluff you'll find one platform which is unique by the fact that its almost completely flat and void of any rocky tiers compared to all of the others in the area, making it perfect for spotting little treasure rocks.

Thankyou for reading, I hope this helps and or motivates you in completing this rather painful task

If you've found similar useful areas like mine, feel free to post them in reply

Comment by weltallica

I'm confused.

I grabbed Chordy and went looking, and found nothing but stacks and stacks of .

No Anima-Touched fragments. No Malleable Flesh. 100% greys.

What am I doing wrong?

Comment by Malvenue

WHY IS THIS NOT A CURRENCY?

Comment by globalmenace

It seems my Chordy can find Weapon Fragments…

while doing his weekly quest
or anywhere else, but only if the weekly quest is not yet completed

Can anyone confirm the second point, or is it just me?

Comment by Rakenessaa

I only received x8 of these after completing all weekly quests.... in previous weeks I've received ~30. 😕

Comment by Badalor

By far the fastest way: In 10 minutes i farmed 39 Anima-Touched Weapon Fragments and one Great Luckydo for the achievement The Great Luckydo with Chordy in Maldraxxus. These are my results so it could be better or worse for you depending on rng. Position on the map is above the Seat of the Primus (50-73). You can get there by flying or taking the teleport in the main base.

You can find my video where i do it here:https://youtu.be/PQjeATNA2qw

The way this works: According to a comment from Zetherior on wowhead the treasure will always spawn if you fly up after using Chordy's ability. I noticed sometimes this wasn't the case so i tried to perfect it. I also noticed from my own research that the treasure seems to spawn more if u walk a lot while Chordy is searching. So now i did the instant fly up + walking toward the edge of the area while looking backwards to see when the treasure spawns. For me this works 100% of the time. You also want to stay on the ground after despawning Chrody so that he respawns around the time where u find the treasure. That way you can use his ability right away again.

Comment by TransTess

I think the first 20 or so fragments a day from Chordy seem to drop fairly fast, trying to farm it all at once goes really slowly. So I recommend just doing a bit a day.

Comment by hotcore

Why is this currency not account wide...

Comment by hotcore

I recently did this grind and it wasn't actually as bad as what I thought.
I did the weekly quests and unlocked everything in about 4 weeks. I didn't farm it out really hard. By the end of week 4, I had about 250 anima-touched weapon fragments. This is when I decided to grind out the rest.
I think Blizzard intended people to actually get this currency over time as its possible to get 750 in about 10 weeks if you do every weekly quest.
I followed other peoples advice and went to Bastion and farmed it atop the rock. I also used the mount trick which gave faster respawns. From 250 - 750 took me about 3 hours. Sometimes you can be farming for 30 mins and get 0 drops then all of a sudden gets heaps. It's really random.
This farm is really boring and you will pretty much just get gray items. I made about 2k in greys in 3 hours.

Comment by GraysonCarlyle

Got 12 for the entire week at 70, from all the quests and sitting with Chordy for a while. I'm hoping it's just bad luck and next week will be worthwhile

edit: Got a normal amount this week. No need to panic!

Comment by alsulf

if you are using a flying landing tactic, then I recommend the best place to do that as I did is on the head of the seat of the primus.

Comment by jakielf2017

i had several of these items and now only have 28 for some reason they disappeared in my bag.
