Are public events the best way to get shards/energy for solo players?
I have lots of under leveled gear and need roughly 300+ energies and 400+ shards :/ The daily events can be a struggle for 2 of my characters depending on the missions and I don't ever raid so I don't know if it's worth grinding a couple hours in one vs public eventing all day.

Make another character and do the raids on all your characters

Use your marks to buy gear, then dismantle it. You can get more materials for gear that is levelled up a bit.

Vault of Glass. Period. Use the recruitment forum and find the raid finder. I have hundreds of ascendant mats that I can't even use.

Honestly, you'll have a bad time trying to get that many mats from public events. Always do the daily and always shoot to reach the weekly Mark cap. You can spend your excess marks to get some boots, then dismantle them for a few shards. Raiding is definitely the fastest way to get mats. Even with a terrible group, you can easily open the door and kill the Templar. That's a bunch of mats already. After that, you can solo the jumping challenge and gorgon maze. If you need more, you can always make the extra push to kill the gatekeeper and Atheon, although you'll need a good group for that, particularly Atheon.

Check out the raids under recruitment. VOG should take approximately 45 minutes or so as well as Crota. You will also be able to join a group that does it religiously so you won't have to struggle for shards solo.

Atheon on hard gt is Officer Beener

6 RepliesHi Str8, In my opinion the best way for a solo player to gain shards/energy would be dismantle unused legendary gear you may come across. That being said, it's really worth the effort to find a good team to raid with. No better way to gain those ascendant and radiant materials. Good luck

Raids are better for getting them and if you need help then you can look on the recruitment section on the forums Best of luck to you
