2. You don't need Alpha (or any other Incarnate slot) slotted up to tier 4 to unlock Lore.
3. You can select the Mk-VI Victoria pet on tier 1 of Lore. Might take you a couple runs of the BAF Trial to unlock. No more time than you invested in the tier 1 Alpha.

There, no more excuses. You got your pet. Enjoy, be happy.
With Shards and Inf alone, you can have a Vicky with 95 Shards, 25 mil Inf, and a 9 day wait for the best Shard to Thread conversion rate.

OR... If you run the BAF about 6 times, you'll have your Vicky right away with no Inf and probably no need to convert Shards.


The unlocking of the four slots and getting a Tier1 in all four slots is relatively easy considering that you're picking up four new powers in the process. The bar to do that could have justifiably been set much higher.

The really high bar is getting to Tier4 in all slots. (Though, I recommend shooting for the two Tier3s with level shifts as a first goal before any other advancement past Tier1.)

Incorrect (slightly). Vicky is available as T2 Warworks Lore. T1 Warworks Lore is only an ACU (they're tall!)

Really? Many many people, many of them strangers, on my home server reporting that they're getting 3-4 shards per ITF kill all/kill most run - if they're lucky - must just be "random." Good to know!

Good to know I don't need tier 4 for the other stuff. But you know, when about 30 people tell me the same exact thing about shard rate drops - along with what I see for my own alts - I start wondering about the drop rate. Evidently you're getting 15-20 per run so good for you.
