I have finished right now the new raid, TTK. We have suffered a lot but we killed Oryx.
I took care to have 30 [b]Moldering Shards[/b] in my items (20 needed) so I had a better prize but...
2 Players who didn't have the enough shards got 2 new weapons.
2 Players who didn't have the enough shards got 1 new weapon.
1 Player who had the enough shards got 2 weapons (1 repeated, the shotgun I had). 20 shards were paid.
1 Player who had the enough shards got 1 weapon. The shards were paid.
[b]RESULT:
I paid for having the same result.
One partner paid for having worse result than other players who didnt paid the shards.
[/b]
AWFUL.
I really [b]suggest everyone not to use the Shards[/b]. Book them until they fix the problem. They are useless.
[b]- UPDATE ONE -[/b]
Ok. I have killed Oryx three times since I wrote this post. Yesterday once, today (new week) twice.
Here is the result.
[b]1st TIME (Monday 21st):[/b]
I tried the shards again (I gave them another change). I got:
· Auto Rifle.
· Gun.
· Gloves.
It was nice, I though it was helpful. In fact, I had the best loot.

I began to think, the more shards you offer, the better prize you got. So I planned to store them and give about 80.

[b]2nd TIME (Tuesday 22nd):[/b]
[b]I didn't try the shards[/b]. I got:
· Shotgun (my third one).
I have had the worst loot.
[b]3rd TIME (Tuesday 22nd):[/b]
I planned not to use the shards but I didn't know I had 22 among my items, so [b]the game took me 20 of them[/b]. I got:
· Auto Rifle (second one).
Nothing more. NOTHING MORE.
I have had the worst loot.
Actually, one partner who didn't use the shard has obtained two weapons and a Telesto.
[b]4th TIME (Thursday 24th):[/b]
[b]I didn't try the shards.[/b] I got:
· Auto Rifle (third one).
I had the worst loot.
Nobody used the shards and there were players who got three items.
[b]5th TIME (Thuesday 29th):[/b]
[b]I didn't try the shards.[/b] I got:
· Fourth Horseman (310).
[b]6th TIME (Tuesday 29th):[/b]
[b]I didn't try the shards.[/b] I got:
· Hand canon (second one).
[b]7th TIME (Tuesday 29th):[/b]
[b]I didn't try the shards.[/b] I got:
· Nothing but the two shards.
As some people have explained, the 20 shards gives you, at least, one drop.
If you have got just one drop and you have given the shards, you would have received nothing if you had not giving them.
Today I have seen a couple of helmets (one of them due to the shards).
I am, meanwhyle, booking them. I hope bungie explains better their use.

CONCLUSION:
The system doesn't work fine.
Perhaps you got a good loot, perhaps you don't. But, in fact, it will take you the shards if you let.
So, my advice is: [b]STORE YOUR SHARDS[/b] until Bungie explains or fixes something about them. I think I am wasting them.

I will keep updating my loot in this post.

I just did oryx on normal. June 6, 2016. I paid the 20 moldering shards, and my reward was, get this, 2 MORE MOLDERING SHARDS. what the -blam!- is this? I get better loot from Vault of Glass.
-
It's working as intended. I don't know why any of you thought it would give you double loot like if you skipped normal mode in the past and did hard mode first. All moldering shards do is let you get any item from the raid. and it's only a chance. it's not guarenteed. It never was. Never stated that way. If you get 2 shards after oryx and nothing else that means you got 2 from oryx and nothing from the 20. if you get 4 shards or more you got 2 from oryx and then the shards rolled on oryx's loot table and you got the shit end of the stick. Stop being so butthurt. Bungie didn't lie. You were not mislead. As usual people jumped the gun hyped themselves and then blames bungie.

Expect Nothing, RNG Everything.
-
He won't even take my shards. Literally. Wont. Take. Them. And he won't give me extra rewards. NOT Once
-
chance. CHANCE. that is all I'll say.
-
I think it just says you have a chance at more rewards. key word being chance. and the benefit of using shards is it gives you the chance to get both exotics and any item from the raid. because like the past raids each chest/section has it's own loot table. the shards bypass this and allow you to get any raid piece at the end. but again only a chance.
-
I got the ghost and 310 Heart of Praxic Fire. Happy with that.
-
It's not a guaranteed better drop. It's a chance at better gear. Nothing said it was guaranteed
-
Good call
-
I agree everytime I don't use the shards I seem to get two drops and when I do I basically trade 20 shards for 2
-
considering i had oryx drop a auto, pulse, scout, & fusion, and another time i got a sniper, fusion, shotgun and helmet. i think the shards are working fine.
-
That's a tiny lie compared to this http://youtu.be/0WCj0ISBbCI

Must be a year two noob everyone knows normal mode raid you barely get anything be lucky we are getting all the drops weapons and armor once hard raid comes out then you will see a big increase in drops till then don't complain about drop rates in normal mode raids 👌
-
The only complaint I have is that moldering shards are included on the Chest loot table. I think it's really fkd that I trade 20 shards for 2 shards. This has happened three times to me.
-
Yeah they're seriously flawed right now 20 shards gone is almost always a waste
-
It took my 20 shards and I got 2 shards and an antiquated rune
-
Chance. CHANCE at loot. 20 shards = an additional loot roll. You don't always roll successfully, so sometimes it doesn't give you anything. I swear, man. This community is spoiled and entitled. How dare evil Bungie not give me every drop from a raid in a single clear!? This is madness! Also, why bother storing shards since you get 20 each run?
-
The 20 shards give you an additional loot roll for any available raid item, including: one shard. So you could essentially turn in 20 shards and get 1 in return. Does it stuck, yes. But that's the chance you take. I personally got another shotgun with my 20 shard roll, infused it into my Invective.
-
Has anyone tried running the raid a second time in a week with the shards? Meaning, can you get loot twice on the same character, rather than just once?
-
I've used shards the last 2 weeks On 2 of my characters I've spent 20 shards to get 2 shards in return. It's a waste

Bitch cut your whining I beat oryx last night after 3 hours of u willingly being a sherpa You k ow what the -blam!- I got for that? 2 -blam!-ing moldering shards Trumped Shut it
-
It's meant to give you a chance at getting better loot.
-
Well i beat him last night with 35 shards in my inventory and he didnt take any or give me the 2nd roll.
