My level 20 got a legendary heavy machine gun that requires ascendant energy to upgrade, but there is no way for a level 20 to get the ascendant energy materials needed to upgrade the weapon in light of all the recent changes!
Should legendary weapons that require ascendant energy to upgrade still be dropping in Destiny? If so, how is a level 20 supposed to get them?

10 RepliesHi SteelCityBattler, Ascendant materials can still be obtained in two different ways: 1) Chance to receive Ascendant materials by completing the Daily Heroic Mission 2) Chance to receive Ascendant materials by completing checkpoints and opening loot chests in the Vault of Glass

1 ReplyEdited by SteelCityBattler: 7/25/2015 7:12:56 AMThis character is one week old and is now at level 32.5 playing 100 % solo except for in game matchmaking for strikes and crucible matches. This player now has 12 Legendary and 5 exotic items The grind is not anything like it used to be; I have another player with 3-34s, platinum trophy, 3635 grimoire, and blah blah blah who cares...so please stop construing that the original post was looking for some shortcut and telling me how hard you had it; I have been here since the beginning too... Thanks to all that tried to help; this question only matters as a curiosity at this point!

8 RepliesIf you really want to know how to get past lvl 20, it's simple. Go on Crucible/Vanguard playlists, and PLAY. Crucible/Vanguard has the chance of giving rare armor with +26 light. With that, you should be around lvl 25-29. Getting enough Vanguard/Crucible marks can give armor with +36 light. That will get you to LVL 32. STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING CARRIED THROUGH LFG AND LEVEL UP LIKE THE REST OF US

2 RepliesDude.... Day one players like myself did the same thing you're complaining about. Do public events or daily heroics. Don't be a baby about it when everyone went through the same shit.

Doing the daily heroic missions that are pre-HoW all give you 2 ascendant materials on the hard difficulty. Run them every day. They are not that difficult and can be finished in a short amount of time. If you get shards rather than energy, do not fret. You can exchange them at the speaker.. If you have the chance, run the Vault of Glass Raid. Guarantee you will come out with at least 12 ascendant materilas.

26 RepliesThis is the biggest waste of a post. Perhaps they should just give you everything so you don't have to work at it. Here's another answer to your topic. Take your Destiny disc out of the console and throw it away. This game isn't for you.

1 ReplyRun strikes until you get enough blue gear to reach 23, then find a group on lfg that will help you in vog, or you cab vanguard and crucible marks to buy legendary gear from vendors which will you get to lvl 32 easy, then you can solo dailies and do normal and hard vog

9 RepliesNot really... Considering you can buy your way to a level high enough to do VoG, it's actually easier to get to min level to do certain activities.

12 RepliesThat isn't broken whatsoever. How do you think everyone else upgraded their first legendaries? I grinded public events until I had enough, by then I had a high enough light level to do higher level activities (buy gear from vendors). Believe it or not ascendant materials are meant to be rare(ish) so don't expect to get them for free. Tldr: man up and get grinding

9 RepliesIts an old pre dlc weapon, new ones dont require that

14 RepliesDestiny LFG, Destint Tracker. Find a team. Also, you wont be stuck at 20 forever, play crucible to get rare gear and use the light to level up. Save your marks and rank up crucible to buy legendary gear that will put you at 32 if you buy all 4 pieces. If you use the sites above, chances are you'll find some good guys to carry you throught a raid, and get materials.

5 RepliesWe were all that level once and we grinded for better gear to incrwase our light level. Then particopate in iron banner to get asc. Energy. Good luck my friend

6 RepliesWhat do you mean there's no way to get ascendant materials? I play the daily on three characters each day and each completion delivers two ascendant shard or two ascendant energy whether I want them or not. In the past it used to be annoying that you always got shards when you wanted energy or vice-versa but now the speaker even offers to convert one to the other for a small charge. So there's no excuse. I think there's also some of the TDB or HOW missions that guarantee an ascendant return too. I don't think there's a level limit on getting such ascendant mats and even if there were it would be lvl=20 so if you are there or above you re good to go.

Gotta play crucible for better weapons buddy, also make sure to do strike playlists
