No idea where this comes from - I'm literally stuck on 500K glimmer almost permanently. Every week I end up using the most expensive prism and golf ball conversion method just to try and clear a little overhead but it's normally right back up there after one activity

Exotic focusing, trials/ib/old ritual weapons focusing

Okay but that's like, what, 100K a pop at worst? You can make that back in a couple of evening's play without even breaking a sweat, even without a glimmer boost on your ghost. Seriously, I only started on this account two months ago and despite working from scratch and paying to upgrade gear on three characters plus getting exotics for them all, I regularly keep hitting the 500K barrier. On the exotic focussing front you might want to consider using the level three focussing for armor because it doesn't use up any glimmer (you will tear through cyphers though so doing Xenology once a week is a must)

If you had more play time, I’d get your stance more. But for veterans with several crafted weapons (some of which people change given the scenario) on top of buy ada bounties, focusing at rahool stat rolls of exotics (sometimes even the same exotic but with different stats for different builds), resetting pathfinders, weapon level up purchasing, etc…. I think it’s completely understandable to go glimmer broke. I’m happy that you aren’t experiencing the same issue OP, I, and numerous D2 vets are though.

Bearbeitet von Ryan Foxling: 8/6/2024 12:59:08 PM25k per weapon. That's 20 weapons per glimmer cap. And crafting/leveling exists as well. Most players spend their cyphers for artifice exotics. New model made rich players convert their shard in 1/10 of what they got in ghost fragments and did nothing for returning/new players. Just because you barely spend your glimmer it doesn't mean that there is no problem with the current system.

But are you really focussing or crafting TWENTY weapons at a time?? You can only level three of them at the same time, so why would you? [quote]Just because you barely spend your glimmer it doesn't mean that there is no problem with the current system.[/quote] I'm just saying that I don't see the problem myself, and yet as a 'new' player, if it exists then I should be the one experiencing it most. In fact the problem I'm experiencing is that I'm not allowed to carry any more than 500K! Have you considered that maybe you're trying to do too much at once if you keep running out? I had the same issue in TFD, trying tget everything done 'yesterday' - once I calmed down and took it one thing at a time, the problem pretty much melted away.

I do much more than twenty. I don't have this problem in trials since I can easily farm adept versions. But in IB focusing is my only option and I focused more than 100 engrams for new weapons and I still didn't get what I wanted. As I said you barely spend your glimmer, obviously if you are going to spend your glimmer only on necessary things you aren't going to have a problem, but once you want to get a certian roll on a weapon or a certian exotic with good stats then you are going to see a problem. There is a lot of old weapons which are relevant to this day or became then they buffed some.perks and they cost 25k and 3 engrams per weapon, but a new one cost nothing but 1 engram.

I probably will start picking up a few of the old favourite ritual weapons, now you come to mention it - they're not as relevant now, but damn were they fun... Engram focussing is going to be a bit of a glimmer sink, but to be honest the engrams are usually more of an issue for me than the glimmer (but at least the crap ones can get turned into cores). They're actually more of an issue the more you have unlocked because there's actually more mileage in rolling on the engram than the weapon itself at the start of a season (because it only costs one engram each, is cheaper and the odds work out roughly the same).
-
Yeah, I don't really get it why Bungie kept the cost of older engrams the same, like 3 engrams for an older weapon which is probably isn't going to be on the same level as a new one is a bad decision. Active players have everything they need in terms of older weapons and the ones who suffer the most are returning/new players, who doesn't even have a stockpile of resources and only can get like couple of weapons per reset of an activity since the engram cost is ridiculous

Because you don’t do anything? No offense you don’t actually play the game.
-
What are you on about? I was logged onto it last night, and I've only been playing on this account for two months and I'm already a higher light level on all three characters than you are!
-
I checked your raid report. It’s all I needed to see you don’t even invest into builds…
