Items & Economy

General

• Reduced experience rewards for completing normal and heroic public events
  
• Iron Banner, Vanguard, and Crucible tokens earned in Season 3 may be redeemed with their respective vendors in Season 4
  
• Players are no longer able to delete mods or shaders from an items details screen
  

Masterworks

• Masterwork reward chances are being reduced in some activities
  • Pre-Forsaken raids will still offer a higher chance for Masterwork acquisition, but that chance has been lowered from 50% to 10% to be in line with Masterwork drops in Forsaken
• Year 1 armor will always dismantle to one Masterwork Core
  
• Year 1 weapons can dismantle to one or two cores, but no longer three
  

Power

• Activity rewards now respect your Power
  • If you complete an activity while severely under-leveled,  rewards will offer a larger Power upgrade
  • If you complete an activity while heavily over-leveled,  rewards will be a lower Power level

Shaders

• Forsaken shaders do not drop in the wild; instead, they come from dismantling gear with that shader applied
  
• Rare-quality shaders are often applied to drops, but have a low chance of being granted by dismantling
  
• Legendary-quality shaders appear much less frequently on gear, but have a high chance of being granted by dismantling 
  
• It no longer costs anything to apply shaders to gear
  

Infusion

• Infusion for all pre-Forsaken and Forsaken gear is capped at 600 Power
  
• Weapon infusion is now slot-based rather than archetype-based
  • Example: Any Kinetic weapon can be infused into any other Kinetic weapon, but you can no longer infuse an Energy Hand Cannon into a Kinetic Hand Cannon
• Infusing duplicates of the same item is much less expensive than using two different items
  

Destination Materials

• Reduced drop rates of destination materials from some destination activities
  

Collections

• Includes any weapon, armor piece, Ghost Shell, ship, Sparrow, emblem, or shader players have earned since Warmind's release on May 8

  • The cost to reacquire an item scales based on what the item dismantles into

Three of Coins

• Three of Coins have been deprecated
  • Converted into "Faded Cards"
  • Can be safely discarded for Legendary Shards

Eververse

Prismatic Matrix Schedule

• The Prismatic Matrix is now scheduled out for the full season
  
• The Prismatic Facet (free weekly account roll) is now obtained via a special Tier 1 Eververse bounty, rather than being tied to leveling, which can be acquired for 250 Glimmer and that does not require an Eververse Bounty Note
  • This permits players at all levels to obtain their free weekly roll

Eververse Bounties

• Each Seasonal Bright Engram now grants one Bounty Note
  • These Bounty Notes can be exchanged for a variety of weekly Eververse Bounties, which come in three tiers:
    • Tier 1: Cost = 1 Eververse Bounty Note: Rewards 20 Bright Dust
    • Tier 2: Cost = 3 Eververse Bounty Note: Rewards 70 Bright Dust
    • Tier 3: Cost = 6 Eververse Bounty Note: Rewards 150 Bright Dust
• Players can acquire as many Eververse bounties as they have Bounty Notes

  • Eververse armor acquired from deterministic sources (i.e., the Prismatic Matrix or Bright Dust storefront) will have fixed perks

Leveling Rewards in Forsaken

  • Players progressing through the campaigns will receive an Eververse gift at the end of each campaign once per class with a variety of items and some Bright Engrams included
