So like the title say. I feel that is something really missing here If you have played during Solstice but your rank was low and you drop only tier 2, tier 3 loot. Wouldn't it be a good thing to go see Banshee or Ada-1 for your weapon upgrade tier and Rahool for your Armor I kid you not since the Start of Efge of Fate I must have Focused one (1) Exotic armor pieces for Ascendant shard and a Exotic Cypher... I did not complete one Xenology quest in Edge of Fate and all exotic Cyoher I could Use I don't cuz I don't see the use for it since 80 % of our exo Armor are not Featured. This is another topic but jeez you mess it up bad with that idea... anyway. To the Topic in hand here. So bringing your Tier 3 Lutrous Gauntlet to Rahool and Banking some Glimmer and Consumable in it to upgrade it should be a thing. Not to make it game breakin on the cost like 1000 glimmer and a tap in the back. We should need to work for it. More like for Armor: Tier 1 to 2 : 50 000 Glimmer 1 ascendant Shard Tier 2 to 3 : 50 000 Glimmer 2 Ascendant Shard Tier 3 to 4: 100 000 Glimmer 2 Ascendant Shard 1 Exo Cypher Tier 4 to 5: 250 000 Glimmer 3 Ascendant Shard 2 Exotic Cypher. For Weapons swap the Ascendant Shard for Alloy instead. Leatn how to read and if needed read more than once before answering cuz I see a lot not paying attention before posting non sense. If you're about to answer, that part is mainly for you before anwering. I know that very well that you can drop high yier right now with only your Light level But i'm not posting about Normal Seasonal armor sets like Techsec, Bushido or Last disipline etc.. that are working with Light not rank. But about the Special events one that stayed one or 2 weeks. That are working with Ranks not light. If during Soltice a player only dropped tier 2 and 3 pieces of Lustrous armor and want to buildcraft a set for the 4 armor set Bonuses right now. Yes he can still do it but he would love a way to ugrade the armors to higher tier to get better stats numbers. Not a reroll of the stats. Only a +1 points in each stats per tier increase in it cuz anyway that's how it works. Tier 2: 59 becomes tier 3= 65 Tier 3: 65 becomes tier 4= 71 Tier 4: 71 becomes tier 5= 76 + the RNG +5/-5 Tuning mods. If you can confirm me that there"s still a way today Novemver 4th to drop a tier 5 chest or legs piece of "Lustrous" armor to name that one armor set (2025 Solstice) Then yes that post is totally irrelevelent. My post is not meant for players that want to upgrade a tier 2 Techsec to tier 5. Since these one go higher with your light. But stuff that come and go and players wasn't at high guardian rank at that moment like Solstice. Where banking some currencies in the engram at Eva only give you a tier specific tied to your rank. FoTL ends next tuesday at 11:59pm Pacific ,(even thought everyone will be kick out of the game by 10 am). Until then a rank 7 that want to exchange is candies for engrams at Eva will only get tier 4. Rank 9 will get you tier 5 engrams exchange. I don't even imagine what a Rank 4 like one member of the clan I'm in will get. Like what tier 2? Even thought is 482 light. Non sense. Same problem will happens with the Dawning in 1 month and a Half. There's gonna I guess be a new set of armor with Set bonuses. But the player that Started playing lets say December 6th with the launch of Renegades. Will be low rank when the Dawning is there. While I'm gonna drop or you gonna drop that Tier 5 loot You gonna see that rank 2 at the tower running around and say to yourself. Well bleep, he ain't gonna get high tier armor this one. That upgrade thing is for them. For all too, but mainly for player that want a specific special event armor set Bonus to be use at higher tier for a better stats number than a 47 or 59 points later on if He kept them in is armor inventory or is vault.
