Getting top tier Alpha

Ok, so I am still working on my Alpha slot and I have a question, because something really doesn't make sense to me.

Presently, I have the Musculature Total Radial Revamp. I want to go to the next level and get the Musculature Radial Paragon. I was looking at what I need to get it and was pretty surprised. Aside from the various other components, it lists the pre-requisite of Partial Radial Revamp. Looking at partial Radial, it says I need Radial Boost (which I bought for Total Radial, but I seem to no longer have it).

So, my basic understanding is this:

To get Radial Paragon I need to:

* Buy Muscular Boost ( a 2nd time)
* Buy Radial Boost (a 2nd time)
* Buy Partial Radial Revamp

**THEN**

* Buy Muscular Boost (a 3rd time)
* Buy Core Boost
* Buy Partial Core Revamp

Is this correct? That's how it looks. Just when I thought I was making some progress...

To get a T4 Alpha you need any 2 of the T3 Alphas from that tree (i.e. You have to craft 2xT1, 2xT2 & 2xT3 to make 1xT4).

It's not immediately obvious but if you expand the window or scroll down you'll see the options for all the possible combinations of the 4 T3s to craft your T4.

Yes, that's correct except that you can use any two rares as Spad said. T4 boosts are much harder to get than T3 boosts. The good news is that the T3 already gives the level shift and 3/4 as much ED-bypassing benefit as the T4, so the T4 is just a small bonus, not nearly as mandatory as the T3 is.

Setting it up this way lets players get a good bonus for a reasonable amount of effort, while the very dedicated still have something to shoot for.

Yes, but only if you were starting from SCRATCH. Since you already have a tier 3, you just need to work your way up the tree once more and get ANY OTHER tier 3. The tier 4 requires you to destroy two tier 3's to craft it.
