[TIP] The Calculation of Soul Shards Dropped From Enemies

[Cyrolas]

The formula is simple. It is the amount of damage you did to the enemy. For example, if you and another player fought the Wall of Flesh, and you did 6000 damage while your friend did 2000 damage, you would get 6000 soul shards and your friend would get 2000.

Inaccurate. The number of hits matters as well. Compare payouts for a Werewolf/Possessed Armor killed with a Bladed Glove with one killed with a Sniper Rifle. It is the reason why I carry a Bladed Glove in the first place.

Nope, OP is correct

1 dmg = 1 shard exactly

If a monster has 100 hp and you hit 50, you get 50 shards when it dies.
