A patch has just hit that has made many changes. Some exotics have been buffed, the Templar can't be pushed off and more importantly we can buy upgrade materials. For 10 crucible or vanguard marks you get 20 of your choice! I now have over 100 helium, spirit bloom etc.
The he only downside is that exotics no longer need ascendent materials to upgrade. They now need an exotic shard which is purchasable from everyone's favourite dodgy geezer xur. 7 coins gets you one. One share is needed in the final upgrade slot to max it.

So what was wrong with farming, farming for mats or farming for vangaurd or crucible points is still farming.

how can they change such things for what has been released already? I take it this will be for the new gear released with the DLC? if not I've wasted my fecking time so far !!

If you have a Vault full of Legendary/Exotic Armour then breaking down an exotic you don't use yields an Exotic Shard, as does breaking down an exotic weapon (presumably; haven't tried that). This is useful for Monday-Thursday or if you're tight, like me

Deano lad it wont affect any exotics you have fully upgraded but any you are currently upgrading will need the new shard for the final upgrade. The good news is they wont need any acendant material at all only the 1 shard at the end.

This is useful for Monday-Thursday or if you're tight, like me Dismantling exotics gives a shard... You'll need 2 per exotic when the Dark Below is released, one to 'reset' an item and another to upgrade the last slot (again). Currently getting my 2nd Super Good Advice for another shard...don't waste them on alts, you'll need em!
