CASCADEYOUTH Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Notice you need a lot of these for legendary upgrades. Any clue how to get them? I randomly have 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallout frank Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The only 100% way to obtain them is to discard legendary and exotic armour, you get 3 for discarding a legendary, which i did earlier, going to guess at 5 for an exotic. Other than that they are given randomly as rewards for completing raids and events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Magic Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 You can also get Ascendant Shards and Energy after completing Public Events. It seems like you are guaranteed one or the other after completing your first Public Event of the day. After that it's still possible, but not guaranteed.

Shadow XBL Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 fyi sometimes you get a mote, not a shard/energy for your first public event of the day. Like I just did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 You will get at least one of the following from your first public event each day; mote of light, strange coin, ascendant shard, ascendant energy. I've never got an energy myself from an event, and shards are rare. More likely to get the other two. I think stacking up marks and buying/dismantling purples is the only fool proof way unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotyMcFat Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The way I've been obtaining them is, I'm using all my vanguard/crucible marks to buy weapons or armour from the factions and then destroying the them. You could always make a second/third character and just put the weapon/armour in the vault and then destroy it with your primary. That is if you want to grind out the rep again and earn twice the amount of marks each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow XBL Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 sucks that the only way to level legendaries is to lose legendaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animusVOXone Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I can fully upgrade my chest and arms, but because I have no ascendant shards, can't do the upgrades. It sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewie B I ReQ Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) The only 100% way to obtain them is to discard legendary and exotic armour, you get 3 for discarding a legendary, which i did earlier, going to guess at 5 for an exotic. Other than that they are given randomly as rewards for completing raids and events. when dismantling legendary and exotic armor you will randomly get either 2 or 3 shards/ dismantle legendary/exotic armor= 2-3 public daily event first gold of the day. chance of 1 shard or other items randomly get 1 when opening chests. very rare daily story challenge lvl 28 awards either 2 shards or 2 energies purple engrams can decode into shards the raid awards them randomly once a week the nightfall awards them randomly once a week your best bet is to just buy armor with marks and dismantle them or.. You could always make a second/third character and just put the weapon/armour in the vault and then destroy it with your primary. That is if you want to grind out the rep again and earn twice the amount of marks each week. do this. having 3 of the same class you can easily get them to level 20 and share you gear to take on the raid and nightfalls etc 3 times a week do dailys 3 times a day Edited September 29, 2014 by Lewie B I ReQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be all over this. yeah pretty much 300 marks a week 3 nightfalls 3 weekly strikes= 27 strange coins 3 raids daily story 3 times a day i milked this when the queens gear gave shards. i leveled up my new raid gear in no time and still have 17 to spare you will have to get their ranks up with vanguard but it aint too bad thanks to nightfalls and weekly massive rep rewards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lornesbored Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Yup I just learned about having multiple warlocks to farm out the raids and shards yesterday I'm excited because my warlock is already level 11.

I kind of want to do as much as I can with my titan before making a new character though. It's annoying, there's suddenly too much to do on this game!

Albel Nox Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The raid, lol. All of my drops this week were ascendant material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockyjo3 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 My warlock can't seem to get an ascendant shard from the public events, just ascendant energy. Can they not get shards? I have 2 warlocks and all they ever get is energy but my Titan ALWAYS gets a shard not energy. Has anyone else had this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else had this problem? so im not on my own then? my warlock gets energies 90% of the time from the public events if it gives me an ascendant and always energy from the gift for 1st gold of the day however my titan and hunter get shards most of the time from the same things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'm pretty sure characters have nothing to do with it, my titan it's seem to be more or less 50/50. In fact I remember getting energies over shards slightly more from public events/postmaster hand in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockyjo3 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Of course as soon as I post this my warlock got a shard right away and then another shard from the postmaster. I still might just delete my level 5 warlock and start a Titan just to see if it really does make difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
