Ascendant Shards economic has to change

At this point, you’re bringing out new armor pieces every season - which is great, no issue there - but that render the old masterworked versions we have obsolete due to no forward compatibility with newer seasonal mods. So we masterwork armor pieces that become obsolete. We break them down and we lose 2+ enhancement prisms and for sure any ascendant shards permanently, in the process. Currently the only way to get ascendant golf balls - correct me if I’m wrong - is to do the 1330 nightfall. And the drop rate for those is abysmal. If you’re going to make them SO rare to find in in-game activities, they have to be made cheaper to purchase from Banshee. Especially since we don’t get the enhancement materials back when breaking down an obsolete armor piece. Please reconsider this in-game mechanic as it is a part of the seasonal burnout so many Destiny players are experiencing. Either make those golf balls cheaper to buy OR return what we put into them when armor pieces are broken down.

  • Economy feels fine to me personally. There's like 3 - 5 in the pass, Ghost mods can help you get Prisms to trade in, and once you're around 1315+ Nightfalls are pretty easy and the rewards pretty much rain on Double Drop weeks

    Once they implement the plan to gain an Shard from the raid each week it’ll be 100% a lot better. Right now it’s in an “alright” place, just farm them during a x2 week and you’ll have plenty

  • Honest question - how many armor pieces are you wanting to masterwork? Given that sunsetting is no longer on the table means that any item from Season of the Worthy (Season 10) going forward can still be used past their original "expiration date" - so there is no compelling reason to constantly be trying to Masterwork every new piece of armor that is introduced each season.

    • I understand where you’re coming from I’m a solo player and with 40hr work weeks it’s hard to get the materials to masterwork any piece of armor luckily the season pass gives 3 at least.

    • Hey I’ve been getting a lot more ascendant shards this season and I’ve been avoiding 1330 nightfalls. With the crucible/vanguard ghost mods it’s really easy to farm 10 prisms and then trade those in for an ascendant shard. Add in double loot weekend farming and you can earn at least 3 ascendant shards pretty regularly.

    • They are fine. 1330 NFS are easy. Currently setting at 40 shards and 200 prisms. If you can’t get them that is 100 percent a you problem.

      • I used to think this, but now actually have enough to make it work fairly well.

      • Actually, if you ran the 1330 Nightfall last week you would have a shit ton from the 2x awards. I had 2-3, now I have 16-17 2x on Grandmaster will be insane for materials.

          • That’s not the only way to get them. You can buy them from banshee, you can get if from the season pass, you can get it from crucible rank. I’m a casual player, and j have more than enough
