Are you soloing these maps? If so with what template.. they seem a bit harder nowI have 7 colors so far - I don't have the blue, but I do have an orange one.
So, they could correspond to Soulstone colors, or to the Virtue colors.
Check your virtues and see if it gave you some points in it!I went to all of the shrines today and placed the matching color mysterious fragment at the base of each shrine. There was first a fizzled spell sound, then the message "The fragment settles into the ground surges with power as it begins to sink!" (as it sank into the floor and forever disappeared). I then heard the sound that a successful healing spell makes and received the message "You feel a slight energy pulse through you..." I tried saying the mantra word and the shrine's specific Word of Power, but it did nothing. I saw no movement in my stats or my virtues. Whatever it is supposed to do is probably not fully turned on yet. But that appears to be our next step.
I did and I couldn't tell any difference in any of them.Check your virtues and see if it gave you some points in it!
Well done on figuring that out!I went to all of the shrines today and placed the matching color mysterious fragment at the base of each shrine.

All of my virtues were not full and I saw no movement in any of them. I received no such message about having to know something to reap the benefits.Was your virtue full when planted the stone? Doesn't it say you must know something of this to reap the benefits?
well I'm still thinking they will be used for the fellowship staff.I certainly have enough frags to call up an entire army of monsters to fight. lol I am still wondering if I really need well over 125 coins. lol
Very good point!well I'm still thinking they will be used for the fellowship staff.
remember how the pirate at bucs mint held the whip?
I am thinking its been an "easter egg" this whole time, like the whip was in the beginning.
why else would it be on display all this time?
And the people who didn't get more than 8 will be wishing they had gotten more.
this is my thinking/hoping tooI have a feeling Publish 107 will be using these frags for the 'shrine battles'. Right now on TC1 they using 'orbs' to click which the pub notes say are only for testing. I think probably use these mysterious frags to summon up the monsters...
ya this would be cool...and id be fairly happy with my 300 frags ive stowed away lolwell I'm still thinking they will be used for the fellowship staff.

I think they can be found in any level map. I have the suspicion that they are of a high frequency in higher level maps, but I haven't made any real effort to test that. I've now been doing Supply Maps and higher searching for frags. The Stash maps seem to be too low of a drop rate.We haven't been active in UO since January, let alone done any TMaps, so we have a lot of catching up to do! (Not because of boredom btw, NEVER because of boredom heh.) Now we wonder: Can these Mysterious Fragments be found in any level treasure chest or only the higher ones? With some posters having stacked hundreds, we are hopeful the knowledge and answer is in this thread hehe.(Time seems very short to prepare so it wouldn't be nice to waste it on wrong levels.)
I've dug every level map since the update except for stash maps and have found multiple frags in every level.. but not in every chest, it's still a bit random on which ones will contain 8 of them.

I discovered that your bank box doesn't seem to have a 125 item limit. I have a full chest, plus a second that is half full (plus some other random junk).I have nearly 250 frags that I got one per treasure chest. Thank goodness they didn't have a half dozen or more in the chests when I was doing them or I would need a castle to hold them all.
If you have all the storage upgrades, your bank box holds 175 items.I discovered that your bank box doesn't seem to have a 125 item limit. I have a full chest, plus a second that is half full (plus some other random junk).
I figured I would fill what I could in the bank box, then toss them for cleanup points. But if the bank box has no limit, I'll just keep throwing them there.
Ah. I didn't realize that. Thanks.If you have all the storage upgrades, your bank box holds 175 items.
