Faction Shaders SHOULD be purchasable!
I'm level 18 in New Monarchy and still no shader... Do you know how stressful it is to waste all my time and effort for some unneeded ascendant materials or some clothing that's not even for my class? I just want a red coat for my warlock. Many warlocks are seen wearing red in the trailers. Is that so much to ask for? Instead of making them extremely rare, why not just make them unlockable at a high level? Level 10, 15 or 20?

Pfff no! You should have to earn them! Hahaha man I wish sarcasm conveyed over typing. I cycle through each faction on each character, I try to level 2 factions per week and played since day 1.... Only 'faction' shader I've ever received is the 2 I bought from iron banner. Which those are truly earned hahaha if you can sit through the lag to hit level 5 in IB I say earned. You think these ass hats at BUNGIE would at least make some additional download codes for unique shaders or give everyone the code for blacksmith to keep people interested. Or how bout shaders for kills?! 500 sniper head shots gets you xxx shader just something to keep this vanilla game relevant!

Bump x1000000000

Eh, I understand the frustration, but don't agree. I went through 44 ranks of Dead Orbit to finally get mine. I think a better idea would be to make more stuff that you can get from them. I mean everything more weapons, armor, ships, sparrows, class items, and yes shaders. Would make the drop rate less painful. Especially class items, because what happens when you get a legendary class engram? It turns into a faction one you can just buy. Also just in case, if all you want is a red coat and don't care about level. Just get a new monarchy chest piece with no shader. Chances of that are small but I figure I'd say it just in case it's helpful. Though now that I think a bit more someone probably already said that.

Yeah I agree with ya it's just a shader it' will not break the game. I would buy one even with strange coins or marks.

It should be a very high if there would be a level at which you can purchase faction shaders. 30 or 40+. Shaders are the last thing that really distinguish guardians at this point. If you really want Revenant, Amalthea, Carthage 0100 or any of the Faction shaders, you SHOULD have to grind for them like everything else in this game. It is definitely easier to get an exotic than a faction shader, which is fine by me. At least you use weapons and armor for specific reasons. Shaders don't impact play style, light level, or anything other than looks and ego. If you're going to chase something forever in Destiny, be happy it isn't something that could actually help you out in game. That said, I've been insanely lucky with FWC (3 Shaders) and have received no shaders in nearly 20 levels of DO. Someone I know took about 40 to get a DO shader. That's just how it is. It makes getting one that much sweeter and prevents them from being as common as raid gear/exotics which is a very common complaint.

Agree... almost lv 40 dead orbit, and still no revenant.

Bump.

3 Repliesinstead of buyable faction shaders why not a create a style function. you pick the colors how much shine/glossy/sparkly your armor is. want a camo on one of the colors you can or you rather have a patern made of hearts no problem. maby also a system on which you can paste emblems on your armor like the queens gear and faction gear.

2 RepliesI see people with Amalthea at only the eighth rank of New Monarchy, so I say to them: "You merely adopted New Monarchy, I was born in it, molded by it, raised by it! I didn't recieve Amalthea until I was rank eighteen, but by then it was merely [i]red and white[/i]!"

3 RepliesHave you tried leveling the Cryptarch for the God of War shader? I want it too
-
I like the idea and lets not forget about the faction ships!!!
-
Honestly didn't even know faction shaders existed
-
1 ReplyThat would be sweet but they should still have some rare shaders you can't buy!
-
Yeah I might actually use factions then.
-
4 RepliesAgreed! I just hit level 17 with Dead Orbit and still not a single shader. I was totally fine with grinding the levels but this is getting ridiculous.
-
Just hit level 23 for Dead Orbit and still not a single shader! Damn things should be purchasable at a certain level!
-
Good idea!
-
Bittersteel (DO) dropped rank 8 on my Titan (transferred to my hunter) Revenant (DO) dropped rank 10 on my Warlock It'll happen bro. It'll. Happen. Maybe.

No. Their are many rewards only obtainable via packages. This is how ppl have unique gear
