I usually avoid spending on refreshes because I tend to think that due to the poor drop rate of shards I think buying shards from shipments is a better alternative since at least there's a guarantee that I'll actually get more than one or two shards after say 2 or 3 refreshes. Should I just go all out and spend all my crystals on refreshes based on my income or save up?
Your math is off. Buying energy refreshes for 50 crystals to farm shards and gear is a far better investment than spending your crystals to buy shards and gear from shipments.
Your statistics is off as well. You don't just get 1 or two shards every 2 or 3 refreshes. Drop rates are about 1/3.
