Threads to Shards

As far as I know, no it isn't.

You can convert Shards into Threads, but not the other way around...

But the only thing you can do with shards is build Alpha abilities and you can also build Alpha abilities with threads.

Wrong on two counts.
First, "the only thing you can do with shards is build Alpha abilities". Not true because you can convert them into threads and build anything you want.

Second. Alpha is the only thing you can build with shards SO FAR. There are 5 more slots that haven't been activated. They might use shards. they might use threads. The devs might invent an entirely new type of incarnate salvage. We don't know.

You could in the beta but that appears to have gone away before it went live. You can change Astral and or Emperion merits into shards. I think it was astral.

Or you need to combine the two into a new component: Shreds.

And, at that point, they are no longer shards so Serva was actually correct.

That would be like saying the only energy source you can eat is glucose because whether it starts as fat, sugar or protien the body will convert it to glucose. Or saying that if you have to click two buttons anything involved on the first button click isn't part of the creation process.

the shards are still being used, they just have a longer process.

Regardless of any point you may be trying to make, it was almost comically unnecessary to state "You can make Shards into Threads to do other stuff with." in response to a thread who's purpose was to ask whether you could convert Threads into Shards. You're really just arguing the semantics of an irrelevant tangent.

To answer the OP, no, you cannot convert Threads into Shards. You can, however, trade Astral Merits for Shards via Astral Christy in Ouroboros.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Thank you. That was my point. But I guess it makes sense that if he would make such a ridiculous nit-picky post in the first place, he's going to keep following the same train of thought.

I wasn't answering the original post, or trying to. It looked like that had been covered pretty well. I like tangents =)
