Can someone explain moldering shards?

I had 20 during my first clear on oryx and got the pulse rifle and 2 shards back, but was wondering how they actually work. Are they supposed to give extra loot on top of your normal weekly clear rewards, Or if you clear the raid a second time in the same week with 20, they give a chance at getting loot again? [b][edit][/b] thanks for clearing that up for me.

  • Moldering shards are your reward for doing the raid. At the end of the raid if you have 20 it'll take those 20 and give you 10% back.

  • My friend got 4 weapons fron oryx last night they increase your chance at getting more drops

  • The first clear with one character with 20 shards give you double drops on oryx. For example without the 20 shards you wouldn't have gotten the weapon or the 2 shards, one or the other

    • from my experience 75+% of the time your 20 moldering shards get you and extra 1 or 2 moldering shards.

    • The first time you kill oryx for the week the shards will give you one extra slot of loot from oryx, I think is is 3 instead of 2 rewards. The problem is that each roll can roll as runes or even nothing. So with really bad rng you can use your shards and get nothing for it.

    • It's a chance at an extra drop when you defeat Oryx the first time that week. As long as you have at least 20 when you kill Oryx, there is a chance it pulls a random drop, from any raid check point loot table. But I've heard it's been proven you cannot repeatedly kill Oryx with shards hoping for an extra drop that week.
