Pfft, as I saw this morning, my brute was 50 (+3) before your defender!
I have a rare in everything right now, and am 4 commons (or equivalent Threads) away from my first Very Rare.
The reward rolls have been good to me so far (too many freaking Uncommons, though)
Just got there today on my crab. Life is gooood.
Currently on Virtue:

RWZ All-Pylon Solo Run
So what exactly was the point of the new currencies, then?

That Astral Merits were dropping fast since we kept hitting all the marks and most of the badge conditions. They translated into boatloads of Threads.
Got two lucky Rare Table Rolls (still HATE the idea of RNG reward tables) and with the MoBAF, got an extra Rare Component (worth it to go for the MoBAF!).
Then, to supplement all that, I converted about 100 Shards to Threads to reach certain platforms, namely 3 Tier3s and 1 Tier2.
I *could* convert the rest of my Shards to get that third Tier3, but I'm going to patiently convert 10 per day for maximum gain so that I can eventually get the Tier4s. Grinding is basically over. I'm just gonna play regularly and eventually get the T4s in a month or two.

In this base.
I've noticed that you can make alpha slot powers with the new currencies. The reward tables haven't been too kind to me though. The rares and very rares seem to be rare and very rare.
Bah!
*shakes fist*
Haven't even got Destiny unlocked yet!
On 88%...and besides, going for the very rare Judgement first, nearly there though

As Positron explained in his blog post on the subject a few months ago, new currencies are implemented to keep the high-performing players from acquiring new things on day one and coming back on day two to say "okay, now what?" I really don't think acquiring things on day three is functionally different from this.

it's a matter of scope. If it has stayed with shards, it would have been easy for almost everyone, even those who just played "casually" to get the rare slots all on the first day. Now we've got a few, but not an overwhelming majority

Blue Mourning: lvl. 50 Katana/DA
Bree the Barricade: lvl 50 Stone/Axe
Last Chance for Eden: lvl 50 Fire/Kin
Myra the Grey: lvl 50 Bots/Traps
1 Minute to Midnight lvl 50 Spines/DA
Well, 3 days for Tier 3s.
3 more weeks for all Tier 4s. But sooner if I'm lucky.
In fact, if it wasn't for luck, I'd still be 3 days away from where I am now.
Lucky people have gotten Tier3 in 3 days. Which isn't an indictment of the new 'currency', it's an indictment of the RNG Reward Table. *That* is the bad mechanic here.

My badger got the shifts this morning. So I started unlocking slots on my Blaster. Who has judgement unlocked, half of Lore and about a third of Interface.

i had my triple lvl shift very late on day 3 as well, i forked over tons of inf, shards, and threads to unlock everything on day 1, and got all commons and some uncommons by day 2 and had tier 3s for lvl shifts early day 3
today i had finished up the rest so everything is tier 3s and im only 2 commons and 1 uncommon component away from a tier 4 lore
Joined this afternoon.. I finished one BAF trial to discover I was 1% away from opening LORE.. I'd been hoarding threads and actually building enhancers .. I went back in and one the 1st mob I faces I had LORE... when I came out I also had everything I needed to slot it with a tier 3 and complete my journey to the +3 club

Hmm, so breaking own that rare I got from my only successful BAF was probably a mistake then.
Wish I'd known I was unlikely to get another.
I got all four tier 4 incarnate powers last night. Hmm soo whats next lol.
