Where to farm Dark Fragment early

Dazzi Noct is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×1 per kill, wild from level 20, which puts it well before the mid-game. Every dropper on the list is nocturnal, so this is an after-dark job whichever one you go for. The wild bands on this list reach level 80, so the sources hold up into the endgame.

Dazzi Noct drops 3 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×6-8, Precious Pelt at ×2-3, Dazzi Cloud at ×1. Splatterina drops 3 other things on the same kill: Decayed Ancient Relic at ×30-50, Dark Radiant Gem at ×10-20, Dormant Ancient Relic at ×10-20. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Dark Fragment. Dazzi Noct's densest spawn is Stone Pillar Cave, 43 points at level 56-57.

The game's own line points it at powerful accessories and other items, so how much you need is set by that recipe rather than by how much drops. Work backwards from the recipe and the farm length answers itself.

How much Dark Fragment you get per kill

Dark Fragment comes in ×1 to ×3 per kill: Splatterina pays the top ×2-3 and Dazzi Noct the bottom ×1. Capturing counts the same as killing for drops, so a sphere and a finishing hit pay identically.
