Final Fantasy Resonance has 99 Tablet Shards, and each one is lying on the ground somewhere in a town, dungeon or other place. Every shard below is listed by region and place, along with the nearest landmark, whether that’s a chest, save point, shop, inn or exit.
Quick answer: Final Fantasy Resonance contains 99 Tablet Shards, all found as ground pickups in the world. Treasure chests, enemy drops, and quest rewards provide none. The collector’s top reward calls for 99 shards, so picking up all 99 completes the set.

What Tablet Shards are
A Tablet Shard is a collectible item. In the game, its description reads:
“A stone fragment with curious engravings. No doubt someone out there is collecting these…”
Collected shards appear in the Valuables section of your inventory. You turn them in at the Oblivion Palace, and every reward is listed under Shard collector rewards below. Every shard is a pickup on the ground, so none of them appear in the chest locations list.
Shard collector rewards
Tablet Shards go to the collector at the Oblivion Palace, in the Kingdom of Grandshelt. Each shard total unlocks one reward, 25 in all, from a Vitality Charm at 3 shards to Lightbringer at 99. Along the way you get two Adamantite (80 and 89 shards), the Ancient Firearm (76) and the Ancient Whip (84), and a Magicite Cryst at 64. How the hand-in works is covered in the Oblivion Palace Tablet Shard vault guide.
