There is simply no way to convert shards into crystals at the moment. You can try any permutation but it simply does not work. You CAN, however, convert crystals into shards... although this is a pretty useless option since crystals are considerably rarer than shards to begin with.
No, you don't understand. If you have the ingredients you can try to make it. You have a much greater chance of failing, but you don't need to unlock the recipes. You absolutely can convert shards into crystals. You don't automatically gain the ability to make it when you hit a certain rank. You always have it, you're just going to fail a lot.
And if you don't want to level a third craft then make friends with an alchemist who can do it for you. That's kind of the point of mmos.
