I personally have 100% completion and only fell below half my available shards a couple of times. I probably still have most of my shard consumables to restore them when you get low if I had to guess. I used the fire tool a fair bit late game, and the boomerang early game for a couple of fights, but presumably since I was using a crest with only one tool slot I consumed shards slower than the average joe.
I’m not sure, but this is what my map looks like currently.
Your basically not even out of the tutorial yet in the grand scheme of things.
Shards didn’t become a problem for me for example till well past the half way point.
