Somewhat. Any Incarnate stuff can unlock and drop usable items for the Alpha slot. The other four slots are trial specific, and the old school Alpha-specific stuff will not work on the new slots. As you noted, you can convert shards into threads for a small price, and thereby buy any of the new stuff you want. There is a fourth "very rare" tier of salvage and incarnate enhancers in addition to the three you named. |

Is this correct? To create the Alpha slot enhancement at any level you have to use Shards, or something that will break down into Shards, like Notice of the Well. To create any Incarnate slot enhancement other than the Alpha slot, you have to use Threads or something that breaks down into Threads, like Astral Merits. Shards can be combined into Threads, but Threads can't be broken down into Shards. There are Common, Uncommon and Rare Incarnate components that are combined to make enhancements for the Alpha and other Incarnate slots, but there's a different set of components for the Alpha slot that are not used for the other Incarnate slots. If anyone could confirm or correct this I would very much appreciate it! I have a character that has a bunch of Threads from a Incarnate Trial but still needs Shards to complete the Alpha slot. I was hoping I could use or convert Threads for that purpose, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. |
To specifically address your last question, yes, you can use threads and raid drops on your Alpha slot. If you haven't seen the recipes for this, click the one you want to work on and scroll all the way down.

Yes, thanks a bunch! I want to get my other slots eventually, but I'd like to have the Alpha slot filled first so this will be a huge help.

I'm kinda hoping they add more uses for shards and alpha salvage. Sort of like we have tech and arcane, we could have A and B incarnate salvage. A, B, C, D, E and F would be annoying.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
3 days ago I hit 50 on my DM/Shield scrapper.
Today around noon I had my Alpha level shift, my Judgement uncommon, my Interface uncommon, my Lore incarnate shift, and my Destiny incarnate shift.
I did it all with threads & the new merits (Astral & Empyrean), and one Rare reward for a successful BAF. I like the new options for character progression.

Wild guess: Shards for Alpha slot and Omega slot. Threads for all the others.|

The basis for this guess? The layout of the 'equip' tab, with Alpha/Omega bracketing all the others. In the middle, the slots on the left are unlocked with psychic Incarnate XP, and the ones on the right are unlocked with physical Incarnate XP (at least of the ones available to us currently).
Of course, it's just a wild guess.
