1. Incarnate XP simply unlocks the various Incarnate slots. Any iXP unlocks Alpha slot (or you can run Mender Ramiel's missions instead). Judgement and then Lore are unlocked with Psychic iXP; Interface and then Destiny are unlocked with Physical iXP. Psychic iXP is obtained from killing things and completing the Behavioral Adjustment Facility Trial. Physical iXP is obtained from the Lambda Trial. Both types of iXP are awarded during the Keyes Island Reactor Trial.
2. No, you cannot convert Threads into Shards

How much do I need to unlock a slot? When I have enough does it just "open" or do I have to click something to spend it?
Is there someplace this is all posted? I checked the wiki but didn't see anything.
1.5 million iXP for Judgment and Interface.
2.5 million iXP for Destiny and Lore.
once the first slot opens up, it goes directly towards second slot. So first judgment opens up, then it automatically starts working towards lore.
You realize you can, currently, craft just about anything you want from threads, right? Shards only work for the Alpha slot. Exchange rate and such aside, threads are "more useful" in light of the four other slots.
On your powers tab, to the right of Combat Attributes you'll find the Incarnate interface. It's horribly hidden and poorly arranged, but everything you're looking for is there--somewhat cryptically, mind you.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Thanks, I think I get that. But it looks like the alpha slot has the only "true" level shift, while the others have Incarnate shifts that only work during trials. I'd really like to get the alpha level shift.

Dumple means you can craft the Alpha powers using Threads, in addition to being able to craft them with Shards. Scroll down on the right side when crafting the Alpha power, you'll see a second recipe for making it with Thread-based components.

I've found it's actually faster to use threads to craft things, due to the better drop rate and the fact that you can convert Astral and Empyrean merits into threads.
I ran a few trials with my blaster and I had the uncommon Alpha crafted and was only a rare component away from the Rare before I'd even unlocked the Alpha slot itself. (I did it as an experiment to see how long it would take, turns out it was pretty quick)
You will craft it a LOT faster if you use threads instead of shards, mostly because of the horrible drop rate on shards.

That's not saying much, considering I had the T3 power for Judgement, Lore, and Interface before unlocking their respective slots. The only reason I didn't get T3 Destiny before unlocking it was because I got impatient and used Threads to buy iXP for the majority of it.

I personally recommend a combination. I use threads for the common/uncommon Alpha Boost but then I use shards for the Rare boost simply because the guaranteed Notice from the WST is easier to get than a rare thread component.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Visit Ouroborous before you consider any of these comments. Things have changed with 20.5
EDIT: There are two kind of incarnate XP as fleeting mentioned but their status should show inside the slot until you completely unlock it. Alpha stuff used to be a real grind but now it seems to be easy with the merit vendors in Ouroborous but if you still want to run/grind/hustle for Shard look me up.

WOW! Thanks! Best (incarnate) tip ever! Makes a world of difference. They should make that a little more noticeable!

Ok I think I almost have down what to do with shards and threads, and those new Astral merits.
What is incarnate experience? How do I use it?
Also, minor related question-is there any way to convert threads into shards?
For reference-I have unlocked the alpha slot and created and slotted the first incarnate enhancement (musculature IIRC). I have completed two incarnate trial runs (both lamda) but have not created any other incarnate enhancements.
