[quote]Total = 2,550 shards for 8 cores if you want to buy them from spider in 1 day. - 9th core = 2560 shards. I think this is just silly. Slowing down progress.[/quote] I think you're silly if you actually do that. Just come back each, buy another one for 10 shards. Or even 2. Honestly that MC thing is a pain in the ass, but it's workable. Bungie will remove the use of MCs in infusions soon, I'll bet. Too many of us hate that idea. It's pretty simple... Masterwork cores are for masterworking. There is no reason to use masterwork cores for infusions, unless that item is already masterworked. Then I'd undestand it requiring 1 or 2.
