I know this happens all the time and it's not the first time it's happened to me, but it still sucks. Ascendant shards are the most worthless material in the game. I can't do anything with them. Honestly would rather have motes of light.

You think that's bad? Nightfall 1: 12 ascendant shards Nightfall 2: 9 strange coins Nightfall 3: 9 ascendant energy.
