@datguygamer, @roviobeni, @roviohuzz – it would be a HUGE mistake for Rovio to make Shards available as a slot in the Caves, especially if replacing the blueprint. Most players can easily autoplay Cave 1.1 3-Wave battle for unlimited Shards.

Bosses (Cave or Castle) are all trivially easy if you have TH and Lightning Bird, and they’re only 1 wave, so giving Shards for those would also be a bad idea.

Rovio should be less stingy about the Calendar Shards. 1-2-3-4 or 2-4-6-8 would make more sense than 2-2-2-2, given how every other item increases week-by-week.

Having Shards on the Arena wheel makes sense, and they should replace Mastery for Events where players have all their birds mastered. If you look at in-game conversion rates, assuming 3 classes x 4-5 birds
– 1500 Mastery for ALL Classes = 4,500 Mastery = 630 Snouts = 40 LCs = 10 Shards
– 1500 Mastery for ALL Birds = 20,000 Mastery = 3k Snouts = 200 LCs = 50 Shards
That would be a more balanced payout for the effort associated with a Mastery event.

But making Shards directly farmable in Caves or Castles? That would destroy the Shard economy, and mean everybody would have ALL E10 equipment within days.
