==== Let: ====
* LLL = number of levels you want on one high end module
* MMM = number of high end modules you want to push

Total shard cost:

Total shards≈3800×L×M\text{Total shards} \approx 3800 \times L \times MTotal shards≈3800×L×M
Given the per run shard rates above, you can do:

runs needed≈3800×L×Mshards per run\text{runs needed} \approx 
\frac{3800 \times L \times M}{\text{shards per run}}runs needed≈shards per run3800×L×M
For example, if you wanted +3 levels on 4 modules, at 4500 wave runs:
* Shard cost = 3800 × 3 × 4 = 45,600
* Runs ≈ 45,600 / 504 ≈ 90 runs of 4500 waves.

If you tell me how many high end modules you care about and how many levels you want on each, I can plug in the numbers and give you a concrete “you are looking at about X runs at 4500 vs Y at 9000.”
