Well yes...I agree? Idk what your overall point is but shards stack higher too. Though consider that there are 7 mats (plus 10 parts and cores), and only 5 shards (really 1, since they're not competing for that slot). The shards will definitely, without a doubt, drop more than any synthesis mat. They might sell less often (because more people can use them), clearly, but i never made any statements about crafting mats so idk what the point is.
Each piece of armor will require SIGNIFICANTLY more shards than it will require synthesis mats, if we're considering R30. But matter will still be the cockblock, imo. You can always pay more for shards, people will sell them, you can't possibly do anything to increase the pace of your matters (under the current zystem).

You didnt list stacks of shards, you listed total amount of shards.
My point was that its likely that more people are holding onto the shards they get knowing they will need to use them whereas crafting mats will only be of use to a select few.

Is it known exactly how the augment transfer process works?
Like do you just trade the lower quality piece with augs and the new higher quality piece to furnace and that's it? Is there a cost of any sort(jewel/units/shards)?

Yeah, trade both an augmented piece, and a non augmented piece of higher quality, of the same set and equip slot, along with a matching jewel, and the lower quality item is destroyed, passing the augments on to the higher quality piece. I’ve done it once myself, but the update notes also explicitly say how to do it.

There is a jewel required to uncurse the higher quality item the augments will be transferred to, but the actual transfer is done by trading the un-aug’d HQ item and the aug’d lesser quality item. No jewel for that step.

Question on the Limbus NMs/CN waves. I thought that all roaming NMs (22) needed to be killed in a zone to begin the basement wave objectives. Is this incorrect? Currently on Bahamut the objectives for what I assume is Wave 1 are active in Apollyon and Temenos but it's only been 2 days so at most 8 roaming NMs per zone have been killed.
