It turns out I was wrong about the shiny shards. After a bit more trying I  found out that they appear in Guardians Crossing similar to snakeskin in Skeletons Tomb and Typhoon gems in Writhing Cascade. It seems the most efficient way of farming them is to play normal level till you don't get them anymore. Then move up to mighty level and if you don't get them there move up to valor level. Then return to normal level and keep going. there is no need to waste resources on honor level and epic level. As it seems now you will get 2 wins on normal level, 2 wins on mighty, 2 wins on valor, then again 2 wins on normal, etc.

Things seem to be different on Sparkling Steppes.
