Exotic shard famine
Anyone else having the same issue?
Edit: For some odd reason Truth seems to give out 2 shards for a net gain of 1. Don't know if this is a glitch or not but it works! Thanks for the feedback!:)
P.S. Make sure you have plenty of glimmer!
-
I just buy a shit ton of them every friday morning. I'm going to start buying legacy engrams too that way i can maybe fill out my collection and get shards at the same time.
-
I don't know if there is so much as a famine as it is we were just used to having so many before.

1 Replygotta be frugal with exotic upgs if low on shards..... don't go 380 -> 381 -> 382 ..... etc unless its some sort of a light/damage breaking point (like 370/380/390 for the raid). If you favor a certain exotic, always have a backup of something else in slot until you have the shards/light to hit the next point. Break down any exotics you don't use, or probably won't use for a while... Theres some fun guns out there like telesto and 4th horse, but if you're hellbent on light/upgs/shards, they can wait
-
Kinda, I get round it by only infusing when it's a big step up eg leave it at 350 till you have a 370 to infuse into it. Use legendaries while you're waiting.

2 RepliesI've been using strange coins every weekend to buy half a dozen or so of what evers on offer from xur, and then disassemble for shards. 13 coins for a helmut, boots, etc - is the cheapest way to get an exotic short of using glimmer for the one or two exotic weapons you can buy without needing a shard. After a few weeks - 20 or 30 shards in the vault. I can usually gain a 100 coins a week grinding through crucible so its just a matter of remembering to visit xur on the weekends.

If you fully upgrade an exotic (all green experience rings are full) it will always give two shards, and you don't even need to activate the nodes. Best part about truth is that if you have a class item with rocket experience booster on it you only need 6 motes of light for a complete upgrade. A friend of mine tried using a telemetry as well as the class item but it made no difference, still needed 6 motes of light.
-
Maxed exotics drop 2 exotic shards. Also: the famine is your own creation: you're infusing your newer, high level exotics into things. Leveling your old exotics is consuming your already dwindling supply.
-
Go to the kiosk and buy heavy exotic you already have. Activate telemetry and upgrade it. Dismantle for 2 shards.
-
2 RepliesI still have 60...

4 RepliesAny fully upgraded exotic produces 2 shards when broken down.

1 ReplyWould be really nice if we could go back to buying them off of Xur.
-
Im losing old exotics really quick cuz I need them for exotic shards
-
I am always out of shards. It's a good thing. It means your ranking up a lot. Still, it gets tough to get them. I have 2 shards. A year ago I had 25 in the vault.
-
Equip a ghost with extra glimmer on fallen kills and go run the forge. Max glimmer in about an hour
-
Infusing an exotic into another exotic shouldn't require a shard. Common sense.
-
6 RepliesHere's what you do. Get a heavy telemetry, use it . Have at least one shard and close to max glimmer. Go to the tower buy a super good advice. Use 6 motes no more than 6. Then dismantle it. You'll get 2 shards and 3 motes back.
-
Same.
-
4 Replies...famine.... ...right... Like many others have stated, the kiosk method works fine. Motes are stupid easy to get (probably easier than coins) as well as glimmer. For me, total non-issue.
-
1 ReplyAs someone who's been playing since launch, I don't have that problem.
-
I still have 142 shards last I checked
-
I still have a lot of year 1 exotic armor an guns. I dismantled some of them and have about 11 shards. If really want then there's prob like 10 more in my vault. But if you are coming up short, then I can understand what you are saying.
-
I think i have more or less the same amound as i had before RoI came out. For every shard i use, i get another.

Edited by LimpKillerD: 10/24/2016 3:10:16 AMYou can "buy" them at the kiosk for 2.5K and 4 motes. You also get some weapon parts which is nice. 0. Use a heavy telemetry 1. Buy Truth 2. Max it out with 6 motes (don't upgrade it though) 3. Dismantle it (you get 2 shards, 2 motes and 5-6 weapon parts) 4. ??? 5. Profit

Edited by Aramintai: 10/23/2016 10:45:30 PMIf you have lots of motes go buy some heavy at the kiosk, upgrade them, dismantle them and they should give you 2 shards each.
