# $SHARD drop chance

$SHARD is Golem Overlord's secondary currency

$SHARD tokens currently do nothing (except trade on speculation), but will soon become useful for upcoming aspects of the game, including NFTs.

Every time you make a claim transaction, you also roll for a chance to earn $SHARD (sent directly to your Hive Engine wallet).

The odds of rolling a success are displayed in the Claiming Panel as `Chance: x% / y%`

Chances exceeding 100% are absolutely possible. A chance of 150% means: 1 $SHARD guaranteed + a 50% chance to get an additional $SHARD.

The calculations for $SHARD are determined by the level of your account. \
To see the table for $SHARD percentages, please go back to [Level](/golem-overlord/gameplay/player-stats/level.md).

## Max $SHARD chance

The chance cap is determined chiefly by the [Faith](/golem-overlord/gameplay/player-stats/faith.md) stat.

Future Events or NFT's, may further augment your chances.

## Accumulating $SHARD chance

Similar to your $PART income, you also gain small amounts of $SHARD chance every tick (3 seconds). 

The amount of $SHARD per tick is a factor of your overall Level Stat (and possibly future Events or NFT's).

`DailyRate (%) = 100 * (1.1)^(Level - 1)`

The [Player Panel](/golem-overlord/gameplay/player-panel.md) displays both hourly and daily $SHARD drop chance.

## $SHARD rolls

When you make a Claim transaction, you will roll for X $SHARD.

Where X is determined by the $SHARD roll chance: 100% or less, you're rolling for 1 $SHARD. If you can get to 101%, that means 1 $SHARD guaranteed and there is a 1% chance for a second.

The [Claim Multiplier](/golem-overlord/gameplay/scavenging-claim/claim-multiplier.md) also factors into your overall chances! (e.g. a multiplier of 110% means you'll get a 10% boost—multiplicative—to whatever your $SHARD chance was when you claimed).
