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.

Awesome idea, I'd love to make my Highest Squidder cloak a legendary.
-
-
This would be amazing and I'd use the -blam!- out of it.
-
I am all aboard this idea. The Seraph and Corsair armor sets are badass. Also I have plenty of treasure keys that I need to use.
-
This. Only Bungie would make it cost : 1 Etheric light 5,000 glimmer 25 motes 1 arm 1 leg 10 strange 50 relic irons And 45 Legendary marks

DEEJ, COZMO. PLEASE.
-
How to make my etheric light useful, holds X to dismantle. 1000 weapon parts.
-
-
They can't turn enteric light into currency unless it was something stupid like 10 for 1 light level..... Some people have like 100+ etheric light, if 1 = 1000 weapon parts then we'd have 100,000 weapon parts...no thanks
-
SOLID SHOUT. Seriously, this is such a good idea.
-
Signed, due to the Seraph armor set.
-
Sign for etheric light trade for 50 weapon parts or planetary materials.
-
Yes, so much this.
-
I'd be fine with just using it for reputation. And please give us a way to exchange armor materials for weapon parts! I don't need 2000 armor materials when I only have 10 weapon parts!
-
Make etheric light tradable into factions for rep.
-
We should also be able to turn in exotic shards for strange coins
-
1 etheric light = 100 weapons parts?
-
What if using etheric light made a year one legendary item infuseable? Itll still be its year one light value so you gotta infuse a ton so it wont be too op.
-
No. Just use Etheric light to add +5 light to any weapon or armor. /thread
-
Bump.
-
That's actually not a bad idea. I'd go for it. :D
-
Yessssssssss Bungie wastes too many awesome designs on rare gear
-
YASSSS
-
I always wanted a legendary GALAHAD e
