The grind is about to be very real for alot of us just to be able to upgrade our weapons..
Re-rolling is fun and addictive and a great addition to Destiny, but with it comes the realization we need some type of exchange of materials that will allow us to obtain more weapon parts.
Farming Ether Chests was a great way to replenish blue engrams for weapon parts, but now that the Ether Chest farming is over, it will be even harder to make up the difference. Strikes give alot, but if we could simply buy them for glimmer/motes/strange coins or exchange Hadrionic essence/Plasteel Plating or Hunter Wire for weapon parts, that would be an ideal way to deal with this new famine.

ALSO:[/b] If you happen to have a lot of Weapon parts, dont bother listing that you have a bunch or listing how many thousands you have. Dont be [i]that guy.[/i] This thread is for people who identify with the current system draining weapon parts faster than ever before.
We all know no one is forcing us to reroll our weapons. But you know what? It actually makes Destiny partly fun again, so of course people want to do it to get perfect/ideal rolls. So if you dont have anything constructive to the conversation, dont bother posting.

You can farm the old chest loops, drop a bit of bounty xp on the greens, skip spending any glimmer on upgrading them, just max their xp and dismantle. A weapon does not need its upgrades completed to give max weapon parts. I've tested it. Same works for blues, but takes more xp so a bit more time. Otherwise, green weapon engrams are slightly cheaper than buying straight from the gunsmith. Hope this helps!
