Monday
TBD
My main is switching from Spiritual to Muscular, so I'll need shards. My weekends are unscheduled and variable so I'm not sure when I'll be on. But I'll give a shout on Freedom TF Chat when I'm on and see if it's convenient to hook up with you.
I was just going to run ITF, or possibly whatever TF would give me the salvage I'd need maybe. And the WST, three times I think. But I'm not taking Alpha past T3 anytime soon. Shards come just by play, and I'm not going to bust my hump just to do this fast.
What are you planning on running? WST that weekend blue side is dumb, ol Terra Volta, which I hate. I can get a pizza delivered faster than it takes to hang out in that reactor. But Saltier is a vigilante, so that's cool. But I'm not sure what Tree of Thorns is like.

Mine's a vigilante, so both.
I'm not sure if you already know, so I figure I'll mention it if you don't. As an alternate to shard farming, drops from BAF and Lambda can also be used to craft Alpha powers.

Think they only go from shards to threads but when you look under the create tab it shows that you can use the BAF/LAMB salvage to make Alphas just like you make the new incarnate powers.

Edit: I'm not big fan of the trials. We only have 2 and they have lag and disconnects. The regular tfs work expect for apex and tin(heavy lag). Have you ever had a weekend where you went on line and had disconnects/lag and felt like it was a waste of an evening? I do not want to "risk" 4 nights of this. This makes people angry.
I watched someone on my team yesterday every 5 minutes nuke the spawns with his void power. I felt like I wasn't even on a team. Soloists will love these new powers. I never saw a shard drop on any of the I, J, L, D power kills.

I'm going online in a couple hours here. I'll confirm everything. Your all probably right:
-no threads to shards
- alpha stuff/salvage with threads. I misunderstood Cryhal's comments and let me clarify. When we first got I20, I noticed that the alpha stuff changed to thread salvage. Then they patched it later in the month and it changed back to alpha salvage. This is what I was talking about. Cryhal's comments is that you can use threads to create Alpha salvage which I didn't notice.
For example:
Alpha->Cardiac Boost recipe:
1 Ancient Nictus F.
1 Grai Matter
1 Hero 1 DNA S.
------
In shards: 4 x 3 = 12 shards
=== OR ===
Alpha->Cardiac Boost recipe:
1 Supercharged cap
1 Detailed Reports
1 Biomorphic Goo
------
In threads: 20 x 3 = 60 threads
In Astral merits: 60 threads / 4 = 15 merits
The shard method required the Notice and Favor of the well which requires you to do the WST in order to create Alpha tier 3 and 4. The Notice is limited to 1 per week, which means that there is an 8 day delay to obtain a Favor in order to craft Alpha tier 4.
The trial method does not require the Notice, but requires a very rare which is 30 empyrean merits to create Alp tier 4. Empyrean merits can be earned during the trials. Basically, if an unslotted Alpha toon does a day's worth of trials, it is possible to complete Alp tier 4 in 1 day.

Schedule is updated.
I need to fill out the Alpha slots/trees on some of my existing and new characters. I will be Shard Farming TF/SFs from Friday, May 27(excluding the Surge Event which I will participate in) - Monday, Monday 30. These are long runs at 2-4 hours each.
If your interested post(your globalid & toon name, villian or hero, and date(friday, saturday, sunday, monday) and rough availability(mornings, afternoons, evenings, late night) and I will look for you during the weekend. Depending on the responses(villains or heroes), I will then build a TF/SF schedule. Bring you best computer to minimize disconnects and lag.
