Deconstruct Incarnates & Components

[Chazcon]

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but please allow us to deconstruct incarnates and components back into either threads or merits. Many players, old and new, casual and experienced, can easily go down the wrong road with our incarnate selections and the 'penalty' is severe. It can take weeks or months to re-grind out a new incarnate or set of incarnates, since the thread bonuses stop after veteran level 11 and the empyrean merits gradually fade away. At some point you're left with only iTrials, and I get the stance of a lot of players that it promotes grouping and socializing. But it's a hell of a grind. I also get the stance that it's the only grind really left in the game with the advent of fire farming. But still, it's a hell of a grind if you select your incarnates wrong.

 

And yes yes, I know well the Ouro mission 22:07 which is the fastest way to get a random incarnate component. That is a time-consuming crap shoot, after doing that 25 times and getting 25 common incarnate components you'll want to chew your own arm off.

Seconded.

As someone who has crafted the wrong T4 Reactive he was intending to create, it would probably need to have at least some type of penalty. Say, perhaps, only receiving back 75% of the threads/merits associated with creating whatever it is you're deconstructing.

I support this concept

 

I have posted before requested a way to break down salvage into empyrean merits, since empyrean merits is the only practical way to acquire tier 3 and 4 incarnate salvage; the idea to use a bunch of threads and 100s of millions to make tier 3 or 4 salvage is simply ludicrous. As I an many others do the insufferable Burden of the past, thirstily participate in as many incarnate TFs as I can, only to get a huge pile of tier 1 and 2 salvage which at the end are totally useless, trash and so are the threads eventually. SO why not have the ability to convert tier 1 salvage for 5 astral merits (1/2 empyrean), a tier 2 salvage (60 threads or 3 empyrean merits worth) for 1 empyrean and 5 astral merits (half the true value), a tier 3 worth 8 empyrean merits for 4 empyrean (half value) and lastly for completness sakes a tier 4 salvage worth 30 empyrean merits convert to 15 empyrean merits.

 

A 50% penalty would be fair enough tax for the conversion, I would think.
