question about shards and merits
You can get both the shards and merits once in the 18 hour period without suffering DR. I'm not sure if choosing shards twice in the 18hr window will give you half the amount of shards or just not allow you to choose that reward. If you run say a LGTF twice, and choose the Hero1 incarnate salvage at the end of the first TF when you complete the second TF, that reward will be locked out.
If you want that incarnate salvage you can log out of that character without choosing a reward, and then log back in 18 hours later. You can then choose the salvage. This logout until the clock reset "trick" works with merit rewards you get from reward tables. Hami, LGtf, etc.


On the end of the TF you have the option to get a Component, not shards. You get one component. If you repeat the TF inside the window of time, you wont get the option for the component, getting only merits.

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.


And I can add this:
Ran 2 Tin Mage task forces within 18 hours, there is no reward menu/window for the task force. I got 40 reward merits and 2 shards the first run and 20 reward merits and 2 shards the second run so it would appear the shard portion of the rewards is not effected by DR.
thanks all for the responses...I guess I'll be running back to back itfs in the morning then, kill most for shards and component (sry made the mistake of calling the component a shard in OP) and a speed for merits since they dont get hit with DR...Thanks once again
If I run a tf and choose the shard, and run the same tf again to get the merits, are the merits hit with dr or will i recieve the full amount? Also viceversa if I do it the other way (merits first then shards). Thanks all in advance.
