1. Decrypting a fully stated exotic weapon no longer gives two exotic shards. Just 1.
With this it now becomes pointless to buy an exotic at the weapon kiosk, level it up with motes of light and cash it in for two exotic shards.
2. Exotic Weapon engrams now have a lower percentage of decrypting at a level higher than your light level.
The last several exotic engrams I have decrypted have all been at my current light level and a few were below. I actually haven't seen one drop higher since the 3 of coins was first removed a few weeks ago.
This in turn makes 3 of coins more or less useless at levelling up your character because you will have to decrypt many, many exotics if there is a chance at all of them decrypting at a higher light level. So probably the reason why 3 of coins was removed in the first place!!!
If anyone is having exotics drop at a higher level then your current light level please provide a ray of light by responding.
Because at the moment if you are a solo player and you haven't already reached level 400 then (assuming exotic engrams no longer drop higher) that means the end of levelling up as no Siva Strike drops provides any chest armour gear and no other mechanism for solo players is provided.

1 ReplyI usually get two exotics from dismantling weapons.

1 ReplyI levelled up and dismantled an SGA last night and got two exotic shards. Are you sure you didn't have a smidge left to go ? No idea on the other, I am 400 on everything with everything so all exotics decrypt at 400. Raid is the best way to level up to 400 though I had a fiend who never touched it and was 400 before me from just doing heroics and farming the end of the iron tomb.

1 ReplyBuying exotics from the kiosk was never a good mechanic to get shards. Which is why Xur is now selling them. As for getting to 400 - there has been a lot of things you could do to get max level gear. Iron Banner, SRL, Trials, just to name a few. Destiny was never ment to be a solo game, but a lot of the content could be soloed or played with randoms. And now, everyone is waiting for the next IB. Yes, getting to 400 is grindy. It has always been grindy to reach max level. But it is still not that difficult, even for solo players.

Rechecked getting two exotics shards when disassembling fully stat'd exotic weapons. Got two shards again so must be dependant on the item itself or have an element of RNG. And YES!!! Finally got an exotic engram drop at light level + 1. So it does occur. SO THERE IS HOPE!!! Praise you RNG!
