You have just completed Skolas, the highest level boss in Destiny right now. You do not get a weapon, but instead you have found a shard. However this is no ordinary shard, it is an elemental shard. What is this elemental shard you just picked up? Let's take it to the speaker to find out, he deals with all of the other shard business. You arrive at the speaker and he prompts you with 3 options; void shard, solar shard, and arc shard. A bit confused, you pic arc shard. A whole new page pops up on the speaker where you are able to switch between the page where he sells all of his normals wares, and this new page. On the page you see a broken circle split into 7 pieces. One spot is filled in with your shard, it is glowing blue with lightning! You are excited to see what happens when you get all the shards needed to complete the circle so you go do other various activities such as lvl 35 Crotas End, and lvl 35 Valt of Glass. It takes time, you don't get a shard for every lvl 35 activity you do, but you manage to get at least 2 every week (RNGesus has been smiling down upon you recently). Anyway, after 4 weeks you have all the shards necessary to complete the circle. You make your way to the speaker and you turn in the remaining shards and you are rewarded with an exotic element! By now you know what this means so you go and inspect your Hawkmoon and you see that there is an arc damage option. You select it and it pops up on the side of your screen. A arc damage Hawkmoon. You wonder if you are the first in the world, so you go onto google, but you find that there are people out there with solar red deaths, void Mida multi tools, and even void Hawkmoons! Summary: 1. You get shards from doing the hardest thing in the game 2. Take those shards to the speaker and pick an element 3. Once you give him 10 shards he gives you an exotic element. 4. You put that on any legendary/exotic primary that does kinetic damage Things to know; It drops with all of the other rewards, you can only do one element at a time, the element you're working on is on all three characters. That's a bit shorter for ya :D What do you guys think of the idea? Credit goes to finalvincent21 for helping me think of this! Credit also goes to A Dracomancer for suggesting the number change from 10 to 7! Edit: You are limited to 3 elemental shards per week across all 3 characters to prolong the time it takes to get an exotic element. This is meant to be a journey, honestly I didn't get the same satisfaction when I got my PoE weapons as when I got a gun like fatebringer. I want you to feel the satisfaction in knowing what you did to get an arc Hawkmoon or a void bad juju. I want you to feel a sense of achievement. Edit: Also I know I'm probably not the first one to think of this, but I haven't read anything like this on the forums yet. Edit: I decided to change it so the circle is split up into 7 shards, because... ya know... 7 :D Edit: It may seem like it takes a little long to get an element to put on your primary, but I think that it's justified. You have to do the hardest things in destiny to get it. You are trying to make good guns become godly guns. So you are going to have to work for it :)
