If we have old legendary weapons/armor that are not fully upgraded (which I do) will we still need ascendant materials to complete the original upgrade path? I notice they are no longer listed as a reward for the daily and I did not get any from completing public events today so how are they earned now? I can exchange materials at the speaker but what if I need an ascendant shard but have no ascendant energy to exchange? Or if I ascend these legendary weapons does it remove the need to have ascendant materials?

I've been wondering the same thing since I can't seem to find a use for Ascendent Materials other than exchange. I don't have any older Legendary weapons to check if they still require the materials for the final upgrade path. The Crota's End weapons/ gear still require Radiant Energy. Ascendent Materials are still rewards for the Daily Story at levels 26 and 30. So maybe there still is a use for them? Otherwise I would expect the reward to change to Motes.
