Is there no longer a use for Blade Shards?
Can’t you still buy the 4 scraps to make the blueprint from the trading post?

Pretty sure you can I made my first bladed back in march and started another during June/July I didn’t even play during the event so I’m sure i got them off the TP.
Yeah, I started the back myself by buying the blueprints.
Blueprints are still available, and at very affordable prices.
Blade Shards still have a use; you can make the spinal blade BP and all the other related ones (exotic, ascended). All it requires is ONE Blade Shard to start which you can acquire by killing some aetherblades, or, if you were present during the LSS1 thing and kept some of the left over shards from loot then you’re good to go. That and the 4 blue prints you can buy off the TP.
