This is correct, your existing Shadow Price won't be garbage, it's still a 300 level weapon but it won't be at the top anymore with whatever the new level cap is for weapons. There'll be some new Vanguard Auto-Rifle to take it's place, maybe even the same one with just a higher damage level. Ditto for the armor, the new armor will have higher light levels than the current armor. So for all intents and purposes you'll probably end up dismantling all your purple armor and purple weapons as you replace each piece.

The only exception is exotics which will have an upgrade method involving some sort of exoctic upgrade shard/energy you can use. I'm hoping it's not that hard to get.

My personal priority is to upgrade these exotic items in order: Knucklehead radar, Ice Breaker, Suros Regime, Plan C, and then Truth. All my other exotics will be on the back-burner for a bit. I've totally stopped using any materials on current purple weapons since I'll soon want to replace them anyway.
