I'm low on shards so I made this to maybe have it happen...
Edit1: if you're just going to come in here and tell me about the kiosk thing then don't say anything about it. My point is that Xűr sold them for 7 strange coins but decided to stop, hopefully he gets them back in stock.

What you do is, buy an exotic heavy from the kiosk , pop telemetry and wear the proper class item. Pop minimal motes of light, then shard it You get two exotic shards. One to buy another from the kiosk and the other to do whatever you want.
-
Eh, it would be nice to just get a shard for 7 coins like before. Not the buy an armor(shard) for 13 or buy a primary for 23 level it up and trash it for two shards, if the still give two for that(Bungie would probably nerf that too just to extend the grind)
-
He does sell exotic shards, every week
-
Would be nice but if you go to kiosk you can buy exotics and level them up and shard to get 2 exotic shards.. A pain yeah but I don't think xur will sell them any time soon, not even sure why they stopped xur from selling them
-
2 RepliesI think they should change the way infusing exotics works so that if you infuse one exotic into another, it doesn't cost a shard.
-
Yes and for 7 strange coins

13 RepliesXur should be removed from the game

1 ReplyXûr should sell critical thinking and problem solving skills as those are what [i]really[/i] seem to be in short supply around here.

2 RepliesDefinitely. Luckily you can still "buy them" for 2500 glimmer and 6 motes of light. Go to the weapons blueprints, get any heavy weapon, pop a heavy telemetry, use 6 motes of light, and then dismantle the weapon. You get 2 shards back. It's expensive as hell, but it's something.
-
It's no need for him to sell them when you can do what all the Old Heads around here say. Hit that blueprint collection up and pick a rocket launcher, I perfer the Dragons Breath. Equip it throw about 6 or 8 motes in it and dismantle it. Make sure you got 1 shard beforehand and 2500 glimmer.

I have like 90 exotic shards and most of them were from my year 1 grind. So im good on exotic shards.
-
5 RepliesHe does sell them and they cost 13 strange coins.

2 Repliesxur should exchange 5 strange coins for 1 exotic shard because i have like 400 exotic shards i dont need but i could use some strange coins
-
1 Replyhe is selling them spend 13 coins and dismantle the exotic duh.. people want to be handing everything
-
I can't really understand why the exotic shards were removed from his inventory. So other people got hundreds, that's great, for the rest of us Xur should sell exotic shards again.

It's painful trying to upgrade exotics. I consistently stay at 1 so I can buy dragons breath upgrade and dismantle every time I need to infuse an exotic. It's also really cut down on the amount of exotics I have on my characters or vault. I even dismantled black spindle and sleeper simulant the other day.

10 RepliesWho the hell still needs exotic shards, I have nearly 500 and bugger all to do with them
-
Oh yes dear god please I'm running out of year one stuff in my vault to break down
-
6 RepliesIf you're a year 1 or even a year 2 player, you should have enough. If not, find some shitty exotics and dismantle them. It's not hard.

13 RepliesHere's the point I'm making. People, especially casual folk, shouldn't have to use a cheese or an exploit to farm Shards. Same idea behind Omnigul for blue engrams. The fact is that exotic shards are from and old and out dated upgrade system. If you wanted to boost the light level of your exotic it costed 2 shards maximum. 1 to unlock the first Damage Upgrade. 1 to capstone in the last upgrade. It went from 261-300 300-331 331-365. Etc Now though? If you want to use your exotics through story mode, strikes, iron banner, trials and the raid you have to constantly infuse them. If you infuse from 335 to 336, that's a shard, If you infuse from 335 to 380, that's a shard. Before you know it, one character featuring 2 exotics (1 weapon, 1 armour) is costing 2 shards every upgrade. Going from 335 to 365 for example may cost you about 6-8 shards per item, i.e every blue item is plus 5 in light, that takes 6 blues to get the item from 335-365 This is also the case for the armour. That is 12 shards per character. So 36 shards all in. [b]And this is one Loadout!!![/b] You haven't even got a secondary load out for PVP. Exotic shards are part of an old system and really limit a guardians load out. I just had to leave my exotics in the vault until I levelled up to about 365 and then had to stand at a kiosk for half an hour wasting glimmer and motes of light to make more shards.

2 RepliesHow to get exotic shards 101. Go to kiosk and buy an exotic machine gun( 1shard and 2500 glimmer). Upgrade gun using a telemetry and 7 smotes of light. Dismantle gun and get 2 shardes and 5 motes of light and 200 glimmer If your really lucky you can actually get more when you dismantle it but the average is 2 shards.

Why not?

Edited by Southern4x4: 10/7/2016 12:57:18 PMGo to the exotic kiosk and buy Super Good Advice. 2500 glimmer and 1 exotic shard to puchase. Pop a heavy telemetry. Equip Super Good Advice (and anything else that needs unlocking). Burn 6 motes of light to unlock all nodes on Super Good Advice. Do not fill the nodes - just make sure they are unlocked. Delete Super Good Advice to obtain 2 exotic shards, 2-3 motes and a few weapon parts. Repeat process. I do this all the time - it works every time. Your other items will not completely unlock with 6 motes but having them equipped will not slow the unlock on Super Good Advice.

Yes. I'm getting tired of having to buy armor and dismantling them one by one for shards

He still does the price just went up by 6 strange coins. I like to call it armor
