I have several characters where I have more than 330 shards but I don't have enough currency to promote them to 7* so I can convert those shards in the shard shop.For example I have 395 shards of IG-86 but I can't afford to bring him to 7* right now and convert the excess.Will those shards be worth half their value when the store prices double or will those shards still convert at double the rate(15 instead of 30) even though IG-86 will be an accelerated character in future? I know that I should promote him and convert all those shards before the change but I just have no opportunity to do that and I have more than one character like this.

As far as i read it there is no difference. Do it now or later. Bigger concern should be bronzium at this point.

Yes, those shard will be worth much less if you don't get them into the shard shop before the changes occur. The conversion rate will be the same, but the cost of everything in the shop will double.

Yes, try to promote him asap...

There should be no difference. If you convert the shards now they're worth 15 each. Convert them after the change and they should be worth 30 each (for toons in the game more than a year).

Shard Currency Changes(What happens to excess shards not yet converted?(no credits for 7* promotion)

Well I was hoping a CG Devs would see this and have a way to make legacy shards worth 30 as they intended. They are going to double shard currency and they are working towards a currency neutral change, they should make legacy shards worth 30 cashed in or otherwise.

There is a difference.

Any "accelerated" toon will retain it's current value of 15. So converting after the change doesnt give you the "full value".

Shard shop prices are doubled.

This means that any shards in limbo like the above will be worth less after the change, 1/2 the buying power.

The best scenario is to get all shards converted to shard shop currency, and let then get doubled, when the change happens (which just keeps them at equal buying power).

After that point, shard drops will be doubled, which helps them keep buying power from that point on.

I’m assuming by legacy shards you mean older toons ? If that’s the case then I don’t think making them 1=30 is what they intended. The way they’ve done it with the increased of shards obtainable and doubling the shard store keeps it as it is now as everything gets doubled. The only exception to this is your situation and anyone else that has excess shards for toons they can’t promote yet and the Bronzium issue previously mentioned. That’s my understanding of it anyway, the only way you can avoid missing out is to promote those toons before the update.

Younguns likely don't have the credits to promote all their chump characters to 7*. Nor should they be forced to.

Who forced them?
