Question 1:

I have fully maxed my elite spec and thus no more need for hero points. What happens to the hundreds I gain afterwards? Any way to convert them into something useful?

Why do I ask? Hero Points replaced Skill Points – BUT Spirit Shards replaced Skill Points as the currency at the Mystic Forge.
I could not find a farmable way to get Spirit Shards except for Dragon’s Stand which is ALWAYS empty thus I have not yet managed to open a single one of those pod things which give spirit shards.

I am now stuck without a reliable way to farm enough Spirit Shards to please Miyanis need for getting paid folks. The 3 I get per daily just aren’t enough. I have noticed I gain some from something else, I assume bags I get from HoT event rewards? But again it’s not enough for the large numbers I need.

Question 2:

So far I need to play for around 5 hours to get 15 Spirit Shards. That’s just not enough. Any idea how to get more spirit shards faster?

The pods is Dragon’s Stand are not the only way to get spirit shards. They can drop from anything which gives you loot and as far as I’m aware there’s no specific content that drops them more frequently that anything else. All you can do to farm them is do anything that can give you loot.

You may be getting more than you realise – because they don’t appear as an item in your inventory and go straight into your wallet instead, it’s quite easy to not notice them dropping.

1) You don’t do anything with them. They’re may be used for future elite specs (my own guess, not official.)

2) I imagine you already know this, but you get spirit shards for completing dailies. You also get them for using tomes of knowledge on a level 80, and those are frequent rewards in PvP. They’re also contained in PvP loot boxes.

I have the opposite problem. I have 1K shards and I want to monetize them. Guides seem to be outdated.

What’s a good way to turn spirit shards into gold? Craft Mjolnir?

That’s what I feared. So no way to get them besides playing for hours for a very tiny amount. I can’t PvP due to lag so loot bags are my only farmable source. I need a new way to make money then
