Buddy shard recommendation

[VioletBear]

It takes quite a bit of effort and gold to get buddy shards.However, once a buddy (Shadow) maxes out, the remaining shards are pretty much worthless.Trading them for 50 Golden Emblems is a bad deal.Why not allow players to swap them for other buddy shards....like at a ratio of 3:1 or something?That way, it is still possible for players to get very rare buddies.....they just need a lot of patience.

may be necro'ing this one but since no answer - save them for upgrading the buddy in the decide skill.-they go very fast then.
