Okay, helpful hint. If you have one exotic shard, you can never again run out of them IF you have lots of glimmer and a few Motes of Light. Buy any exotic heavy with a shard and 2500 glimmer. See the gunsmith and get a heavy buff pack. Use 6-7 Motes to completely upgrade the heavy, then when you break it down you get TWO shards in return. Archon’s Forge is great for collecting engrams to break down and quickly turn into glimmer; same with low-level PoE. Just remember that the Postmaster will no longer pick up engrams for AF, so go in with most of your weapons vaulted so you have space, and break down blues while in the Forge if you don’t need them. Or have your teammates hang on while you vault legendaries or other items through the Bungie phone app. The “Dawning” now gives you the ability to auto-convert green engrams instantly to glimmer and armor parts as soon as you pick them up. Also, starting this weekend Xur will once again be selling exotic shards for Strange Coins.
