To be honest, after getting strand, I was excited, but you had to use strand meditations, but the amount that you get from doing things is ridiculous. Bungie, you need to make it maybe something like stasis. where you can take a quest for Vanguard and use strand and complete the quest and get meditations. The other option is to make the drops bigger. This is not the best option to lower the price to get strand fragments. Also, for the love of God buff threaded needle for hunters, its damage is ridicule compared to withering blade.
