Zone into nek castle inside nek forest, within the first room there will always be a ? mark that produces a glowing shard. Once you have collected the glowing shard exit the castle and zone back in, there will be another ?, just keep on repeating this process until desired. This is a nice trick if you want to level up alts quick by doing collection quests. You can also make a nice amount of gold by selling shards on broker, some shards can sell up to 5g or higher depending on server.

Sounds like common sence to me. Not exactly premium access material, sorry.
Also, the 3 hour Nek Castle lock out starts when you kill one of the sisters i believe.

Thats the important part. Collectables are not as tightly tied to tiers as harvestables. Granted, they follow a general pattern, but regardless of what zone your in, GLOWING shards are fairly rare (rarish, if such a word exists), and are subsequently valuable. Its unlikely one would find one selling for under a gold. If it can be confirmed that you can get a glowing every time, with a zero re-entry timer, then I have to say its might be worth prem. IMHO. Hell, given how easily this could be botted, and the going rate for glowings, this could be a very very nice way to pad ones bank acct.

Well, i've just zoned 5 times into Nek Castle, and didn't see a question mark at all.

Ahh ok, only been in there 1 time but remember back a long time ago zoning in to look around when I got access zoning out then not being able to zone back in..

There is always a ? up in the very first courtyard. It doesn't always produce a glowing shard, although it will frequently. You also get irridescent beetles and IIRC shiny shards in nek castle.

That being said, it is one of the best places to get glowing shards. The Obelisk "Keeper" room is better though (1 min respawn). In Obelisk, it is always a glowing shard or enchanted bone.

*edit* I haven't been to Nek castle in months, and just noticed the reply saying they zoned in and didn't see one. They may have removed it.
