Upvote for more Ascendant Alloy drop sources
Having these materials mandatory for crafting perks yet only having a few drop sources is frustrating.
As far as I can tell there are only four sources:
1. Once a reset for Banshee
2. Weekly Story Mission
3. Master Wellspring
4. One a week from Rahool
The Banshee one takes forever to get, the Rahool one is ridiculously overpriced at 400 legendary shards and limited to once a week, Master Wellspring is uncommon on Master not to mention old content, and the Weekly Story Mission is now a huge pain to grind with the difficulty changes.
Can we get these to drop from raids or dungeons at least? Or maybe just be on a weekly rotator as a rare drop for crucible, gambit and strikes, encouraging more players into those playlists?
I have quite a few weapons I simply cannot upgrade because of these materials.
If there’s another source I’m missing, let me know.

Nobody is even running wellspring on LFG anymore. I can’t get them

2 RepliesDOn't forget Master raids, Grandmaster Nightfalls (not out yet) can drop them too.

Don’t forget about the Ascendent Alloys in the Season Pass. You’re right they’re hard to come by. I went into this season with 7 in my inventory. I now have 10 and can grab a couple more. Now it’s time to start crafting with enhanced perks.
-
Yeah it would be nice to get more drops, I’m broke because the only way I get them is from rahool with 400 legendary shards.

Thanks to everyone who put their ideas and comments in here. Quick note: I’m talking about the alloys for enhanced crafting perks not shards for master working armor. Also, I definitely do try and build too many weapons lol but still I’d like to make the ones I do craft the best they can be. I only play on one class and while I stocked up pre-Lightfall, that was when Master story missions only took 15-20 min. Now it takes like 30-40 min per Master Story mission for a 50% chance at one Alloy. Which is so much grinding that I’m just not going to do it. I think a lot of people brought up a good point with Castellum. Just to passively get one or two a week when doing the seasonal activity was really nice. Anyway, I hope another drop source opens up in more common content. Nothing crazy, they should still be rare, but just something that’s an exciting random reward at the end of something I’m already doing. Thanks again and have a good one.

9 RepliesSimple fix.... Let us transmog golf balls to alloy. 2 golf balls turns into 1 alloy And 15 prisms into 1 alloy or something like that I'm always dripping in golfballs and prism's and always struggling for alloy
-
They had it right with Castellum. You go in, grind the season activity for rep, red borders etc and occasionally you'd get an alloy to drop. That way when you'd finally completed the grind for a weapon, you had enough resources to actually craft it the way you want. Not anymore. Bad design by bungie. Like most of the crafting system.
-
We should be able to trade prisms and ascendant shards for ascendant alloy. I'm overflowing with those but would love more ascendant alloy
-
1 ReplyPlease no, my post master and inventory is constantly full of them. I find myself discarding them sometimes just so I can claim a reward here and there
-
I would absolutely trade two ascendant shards for one ascendant alloy and wouldn't think twice.
-
Wish I could give you my stack lol
-
Weekly missions drop em fairly often.
-
4 RepliesThere's already a lot. Spend a day in master nightfalls and you'll be filled to 40. The season pass gives alloys. Realistically, how many armors are you really trying to upgrade? Just because I get a lot of exotic armor drops, does not mean I level up everything.

Edited by Muffincup: 3/24/2023 1:49:50 AMWith weapon crafting being the thing that is supposed to alleviate vault space issues, meaning they want it to be a common thing through the playerbase, that stuff SHOULD be dropping from common activities like Strikes, Nightfalls, and Crucible. I don't mind RNG drops, just as long as they can be acquired more reasonably.
-
Forget Alloys, what about Cipers, once you reach Rank 8 you will be complaning about that, i have literally no chance of reaching Rank 9 because of RNG, RNG is not a fighting chance, thats all i ask for in a game, if am not good enough so be it.
-
Make then swappable for ascendant shards, even if it’s two for one.
-
2 RepliesCrafting, meh. Mine get pushed into the post master then pushed out by useless garbage drops. I thought blues were bad and it would be better once they were gone, again it seems I was wrong and crap still floods the postmaster.
-
1 ReplyI always have too many. Same with the golfballs. We need an increase in the amount we can hold in our inventory.
-
Running master story missions it makes it a common drop. I think that's right inline with the ascendant shards. It would be nice to get these passively on easier content, but you don't NEED tye enhanced versions of the guns either. Several of the guns are worthless to slot enhanced.
-
the bad thing is the new drops will be tied to the seasonal content. look at nightmare containment, it was one of the best sources of those

I want to say it's kind of funny when you actually look at all the stupid crap this business pulls and will continue to pull that adds up to a hell of a lot of wasted time playing this game for no reason at all other than to show numbers. But it's not funny at all because it shows how lazy, uncreative, uninspiring, etc... that this business is. The worst I've seen yet for a "developer" that has been working on a project since 2007. There are games that you have to grind that actually have a goal, that sets a path for you to have something to actually show for it, and then there is Destiny, which has a grind that leads you nowhere with barely anything to show for it other than a lot of wasted time. [b](Your post is a prime example of that wasted time among many things this business has deliberately designed to waste your time playing,)[/b] and it is part of the reason why I'm taking a break and don't know if I'll ever be back, but that is my choice. What is kind of funny though, is how some players call this "fun". Oh, by the way, OP? you are literally on the wrong forum giving feedback, because when a business abandons a forum and the "CM" only show up pretending they care that they "want your feedback" when DLC needs to be sold, that should give you a huge clue that asking for upvotes doesn't me anything at all other than the players on this forum saying that they like what you said 🤷♂️

I also want a way to exchange my prisms into shards since bungie wont raise the cap limit.
-
I miss Castellum... I would usually end my night there trying to farm one. I'd be more willing to run lost sectors if they were in there... even at Bungie's laughable drop rates.
-
I can understand there being a bit of a necessary slog to get these specific resources. In all honesty I don’t mind it that much. I can see where you’re coming from though. Personally, I only masterwork the weapons I think are worth it, so I have a decent amount of alloys at the ready
