Glass Needles. Xur sells them, but...
... what do they do?
How do you use them?
Are they worth the currency to acquire?
I'm only a week into the game after a 1.5+ year hiatus, so I'm still trying to figure a lot of the TTK changes out.
So I saw these on Xur, and I was wondering what the deal is with these Glass Needles.
Help/explanations are appreciated.

If you go to the Destiny Armory website, you'll see all of the possible perks an exotic item can have. The "random" perks can be shuffled around. This usually means the stat-modifiers (INT/DIS/STR) and the gun reload modifiers. And sometimes other things like Catapult and such. Is it worth it??? That's a personal judgement. Maybe you want those gauntlets to boost your Scout reload instead of Auto Rifle... maybe you want more DIS than INT... etc.

You can use them to reroll stats/perks on exotic gear. I.e. change a int/dis helmet to dis/str, or change an Ashes to Assets helmet to an Invigoration helmet. Does not change the exotic perk. Some gear has to have certain rolls though, so some will never have a str stat.

Edited by o0o ANTH0NY o0o: 8/19/2016 7:32:34 PMGlass needles are used to re-roll exotic armor stats....but not exotic perks. For instance you have a Saint 14 helm as a defender. It came with discipline and strength, but you want Intel and discipline. Use a glass needle or 27 to get the stats you want. It will also change perks such as increased armor while using an arc subclass......
