Etheric Light should be used to make Rare gear into Legendary gear
As of now, Etheric Light is the most useless drop in the game. It has no purpose and does nothing for you; you can't even turn it in to the Speaker for Glimmer or Motes. But, what if it had a new purpose? I was thinking a while back about how nice some of the Rare armor sets in the game look, and how much it sucks that I can't wear them without handicapping myself. And then I thought about Etheric Light; purposeless and useless Etheric Light. But then it hit me; what if that oh so useless Material could be used to upgrade a Rare armor piece/weapon into a Legendary weapon? It would give Etheric Light a purpose and double if not triple Armor Customization. And just for balancing reasons, Etheric Light would only change gear from Rare to Legendary; and not affect Dmg/Dfns values. Upon upgrading the gear to Legendary, its Dmg/Dfns value would stay the same: so that 287 Rare helmet stays 287 upon upgrade, but now you can actually Infuse it to a higher value.
Come on, you ALL know you want to wear a Legendary Seraph I armor set.

1 ReplyNo, it should upgrade a year one legendary to year two status.

2 RepliesThe amount of work need to get this done would not be worth it at all. If you want legendary gear just buy it

Etheric light should be deleted for faction rep or some shit lol

Etheric Light needs a good, useful, and purposeful function. Bungie knows this, that's the worst part.

I think Etheric Light should only be used to buy passage coins or 5000 glimmer depending on which the player would prefer or at least some like that. I don't agree with your request above however

Bump, awesome idea, it could work the same with weapons. Maybe you have a blue weapon thats cool and you want to keep it, if you turned it in to the gunsmith with etheric light and other materials you could turn it into a legendary.

Edited by The Town Drunk: 11/1/2015 10:33:16 AMI get to many drops every time I play. I have no time appreciated how they look. Because they'll be beat out with higher defense in one minute of playing. This system is kinda dumb [spoiler]this was my first week of playing in 2 months. Just my first thoughts. Yes xurned all those exotics.[/spoiler]

This is a good well thought out idea. Bump!

Edited by SgtRook: 11/1/2015 9:16:00 AMEtheric Light is a Y1 consumable, just delete it already. It doesn't deserve a place in Y2 activities considering Skolas is easy to solo with a sword. Etheric light is useless, just get over it already, it's old and meaningless. Everything doesn't deserve a purpose, it had its purpose, now it's over.

Hell yes!

They'd have to make a legendary version of every single Rare piece of armor that's currently in the game and future pieces of armor. They won't.

Agreed! Bump this

This is actually a really good idea. It keeps the balance perspective in check and adds a bit of uniqueness

Sure why not

Rare Hunter chest pieces are arguably better looking than their non raid legendary versions so I say a big YASSS to this.

1 ReplyIt should also be used to upgrade my Bae JuJu to max stats.

It's useless....for now.

Great idea! It's not unbalanced in any way! I personally want the corsair set for my hunter.
