Currently, it is not possible to get shattered hearts rocks while crafting battlestaffs. I, for one, find this highly discouraging as I am planning to get 99 crafting by making battlestaffs and the knowledge that I will spend hours and tens of millions on crafting without getting any crafting rocks saddens me greatly.

 

It's just a bit weird that people trying to rush through the rocks by making gold amulets (which the Jargonex Corporation has stated is exactly what they did not want people to do) are able to get rocks, yet people just minding their own business training crafting to get the attractive brown and yellow 99 crafting cape to earn internet cred from one's fellow runescapers do not. Battlestaffs being a completely legitimate and serious way of training crafting, the lack of shattered hearts rocks to be found therein disturbs me.

 

My suggestion is to change this and make it possible to get shattered hearts rocks while making battlestaffs so that I can get shattered hearts rocks while I make battlestaffs.

 

Also, fairly extensive testing has, I believe, revealed that it is not possible to get smithing rocks by making dragon platebodies. I believe that this is also a great wrong but am willing to compromise on this one as long as battlestaffs begin to drop shattered hearts rocks as dragon platebodies are not exactly a serious way of training smithing.

I think Jagex just tried to take down the obvious first. :/

 

I'm sure they'll change this soon!(:

But the whole idea of shatter hearts is to get people to try different training methods, and not the ones that are the fastest or most convenient.

alternative crafting methods, like making dragonhide bodies? :P sorry but I know about 2 people besides myself who train with battlestaffs (they are, it is worth noting, extremely inconvenient as you can only buy 664 per day per account). they are only slightly faster than green bodies. they are an alternative, and it would appear one which has been overlooked by jagex.
