Today, let’s talk about something I’ve been messing around with in Dark and Darker – those darn Bluestone Shards. Now, I ain’t no pro gamer, but I’ve put in some hours, and I’ve learned a thing or two about getting these things.
First off, I started noticing these shards when I began playing. At first, I didn’t even know what they were for. I just kept playing, extracting from dungeons, you know, the usual grind. Then I saw them – these blue shiny bits – in my inventory. I was like, “What the heck are these?” Turns out, they’re pretty important if you want to get some cool stuff.

Here’s what I did to get Bluestone Shards:
- Played the game, a lot. I mean, that’s the main thing. You gotta be in it to win it. I went into dungeons, fought some nasty monsters, and tried my best to get out alive. It wasn’t easy, but it’s part of the fun.
- Focused on extracting. This is key. You don’t get these shards just by killing monsters. You gotta make it out of the dungeon with your loot. I learned this the hard way, dying a bunch of times and losing everything. Not fun.
- Team up with friends. I found that playing with friends made extracting a lot easier. We watched each other’s backs, shared loot, and generally had a better time. Plus, it’s always more fun to yell at your friends when they mess up.
- Kept an eye on my inventory. After each successful extraction, I checked my inventory to see how many shards I had collected. At first, it was just a few, but it started to add up. It felt good to see the number go up, even if it was slow.
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. There were times I’d go through multiple runs and not get any shards. I found out that the more I played, the harder it got to earn them. It’s like the game knows you’re getting too greedy or something. It is like a diminish return, and someone said it would reset on new seasons.
So, what did I do with these Bluestone Shards?
Well, I went to the shop in the game. That’s where you can use them to buy cosmetics and stuff. I’m not gonna lie; I spent a bunch of shards on a cool-looking skeleton skin. I even heard that you could unlock some races, but I did not try.
That’s my story with Bluestone Shards. It’s been a journey of ups and downs, lots of deaths, but also some sweet, sweet loot. And hey, if I can do it, anyone can. Just keep at it, and those shards will start rolling in.
