    So I think this is a long time coming, but Ability Shards are very annoying in several different ways.
    The first problem is that Wynncraft is all about buildcrafting and having to use 3 shards and reset your entire tree just to change a single thing is frustrating, not to mention having to carry them just to do it.
    Now, in my humble opinion Ability Shards are stupid as a concept just like Soul Points were and they should be removed entirely while the ability tree should function just like the skill points, letting you change them freely while in a safe zone, but unfortunately I don't think that will happen.

    So, here's my alternative: ability shards no longer take up any inventory slot but instead go straight into the ability tree menu (like how Aspects work). You can now choose to reset your entire tree with 3 shards like you can currently, or you can right click on a node to spend 1 shard to de-activate it (assuming it isn't a parent to another currently activated node) while you are in a safe zone. These shard costs are only committed once you leave the menu, so if you deactivate a node and then reactivate it without leaving the menu, no shards will be lost.

    This would be great because you now have a better use for those hundreds of shards you've stockpiled from raids, and it will be easier to change your ability tree as needed for your build without having to reset the entire tree.
    What do you guys think?

    Yeah it’s annoying with systems like ability shards and qira hive merchant costs that discourage players from switching builds often

    just make putting shards in reenable edit mode. you can then reset the entire tree by just unselecting the first node
