As of now, Etheric Light is the most useless drop in the game. It has no purpose and does nothing for you; you can't even turn it in to the Speaker for Glimmer or Motes. But, what if it had a new purpose? I was thinking a while back about how nice some of the Rare armor sets in the game look, and how much it sucks that I can't wear them without handicapping myself. And then I thought about Etheric Light; purposeless and useless Etheric Light. But then it hit me; what if that oh so useless Material could be used to upgrade a Rare armor piece/weapon into a Legendary weapon? It would give Etheric Light a purpose and double if not triple Armor Customization. And just for balancing reasons, Etheric Light would only change gear from Rare to Legendary; and not affect Dmg/Dfns values. Upon upgrading the gear to Legendary, its Dmg/Dfns value would stay the same: so that 287 Rare helmet stays 287 upon upgrade, but now you can actually Infuse it to a higher value.
Come on, you ALL know you want to wear a Legendary Seraph I armor set.

Bump.
-
some of my blue weapons could use an upgrade.
-
-
Sounds like a nice way to farm legendary marks
-
Can i just break them down for weapon parts?
-
Nice idea :)
-
Good idea, it seems pointless having designed rare gear that players will only use for such a short time
-
Etheric light for reputation bonus, the grind is real now..
-
That would be cool to upgrade blue gear to legendary and even upgrading green up to legendary status. Just add appropriate stats when you upgrade them and Guardians could go for any look they want. They should totally do this!
-
Nah, everyone's moved on from Year 1. It's in the past, it's exactly like Ascendant & Radiant materials. Not of great use in the CURRENT game.
-
I would actually like this idea.
-
thats actually a great idea, would definitely add more variety to the current gear
-
And perks??
-
YES!!! I could make my strangers rifle legendary!!!
-
Genius. Have my children.
-
I be happy to just have it be turned into faction rep. 1 light for 1 rankup in dead orbit or vanguard.
-
Amazing idea. I want this
-
This is the best idea to date. Just the thought of my Temporal MSm being legendary!!! Nice.
-
Bump, so many cool looking rares that I'd love to upgrade to legendary
-
ABSOLUTELY! I was actually about to post proposing something similar. Frankly, a lot of the rare sets in the game are awesome-looking, and need some love. Perhaps ascending it would add another perk at random.
-
Make it useable somehow
-
By the time Bungie does something with them, it will be too late AND worthless. As it stands, it will be a lose lose situation.
-
There is a rare scout with Mida RoF. I would ascend that
-
That's the best idea I've heard on this forum. Good stuff.
-
Bump!!

Wolf Pelt Weave/Corsair's Revenge legendaries? [i][u][b]Yes.[/b][/u][/i]
