Incarnate Abilties - How do you know...

Can somebody point me to a really good reference on all those new (as in, other than Alpha) incarnate abilities? Not finding a whole lot on the web (might not be searching correctly) that answers a few puzzlers I have:

1. I've run 2 different toons through the BAF and Lambda trials. Each have come up earning points in different categories (Judgement, Interface), neither earned points in more than one category, so was curious on just how you predict (if you can) which you will earn and if there is any way to "direct" which ones you're going to earn? Like if I'd rather earn Lore or Destiny, rather than Judgement or Interface.

2. I saw where I could cash in some threads for points in the categories. But I wanted one kind of points (Judgement, for example) and it gave me another instead. I saw no way of actually selecting one category over another. Is it just random?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bernie

Hover your cursor over the trial names in the LFG window; it'll show you what slots earn experience in those trials.

The XP conversion recipes also tell you which slots they give XP for in the descriptions (there's two of them). I'm guessing you just missed that.


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

There was an Excellent and Amazing thread in the I20 Beta Forums listing a ton of info on what each power did, the recipies for them, etc. However, that board had disappeared. Did someone copy that thread or the info over to the normal permanent forums? I have not found it yet.

The way it works is you need to unlock the first slot to even begin unlocking the second. Lambda unlocks first interface, then Destiny. There is no way to unlock Destiny before Interface.

B.A.F. unlocks first Judgment, then Lore; again there is no way to unlock Lore before Judgment.

The same goes for the thread conversion, I don't remember which is which but one type will give credit towards unlocking first Interface and then Destiny; the other will give credit for Judgment then Lore.

You can however craft enhancements to fill whichever one you want before the slots are unlocked so if you want Destiny first you can craft your enhancements for it and as soon as you unlock it you can slot it with what you've already crafted.

You mean this one?


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

Sorry, but you gotta unlock Judgement and Interface first.

The way it works is when you run the BAF or Lambda trials, you earn Incarnate XP(iXP). The BAF gives Psychic iXP(Psychic, like Mother Mayhem) and the Lambda trial gives you Physical iXP(Physical, like Marauder). Psychic iXP unlocks Judgement and Lore. Judgement has to be unlocked first before you can start gaining your Psychic iXP in Lore. Physical iXP unlocks Interface and Destiny, and again, Interface must be unlocked before before you can start unlocking Destiny. Note, that you do not have to slot anything into Judgement or Interface prior to unlocking or slotting Lore or Destiny.

When you're looking at the conversion screen for converting the threads into iXP, you'll see one is for the Physical iXP and one is for Psychic iXP. Keep in mind that BOTH types of iXP will also unlock your Alpha slot if you haven't already unlocked it.
