There should be a way to turn ascendant shards into ascendant energy. ... Yup. [u][b]***PLUGGING***[/b][/u] [quote]What if they add a new [b][i]raid[/i][/b] vendor on the Tower. A raid vendor could be the place where you'll be able to turn ascendant shards into ascended energies and vice versa. The raid vendor would also be able to do the same with radiant energies and radiant shards. That new chick from the TDB DLC doesn't need to be responsible for turning radiant energies into radiant shards and vice versa. That job should be given to the raid vendor, which role would be solely on the raids of Destiny. Shucks, a new raid vendor would also open up possibilities of letting us upgrade our raid gear to the new light level or our raid weapons to the new damage cap when the House of Wolves comes out.[/quote]
