Etheric Light should be used to make Rare gear into Legendary gear
Copied from #Destiny
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. You would also get randomized perks put on your armor to account for Legendary gear having more perks than Rare gear.
Come on, you ALL know you want to wear a Legendary Seraph I armor set

1 ReplyI'd prefer using etheric light to raise weapons and armor up to max arrack stats. 310 for normal legendary/exotic or 320 for hard raid gear.

So many better rare sets lost to terribly themed expansion gear. I think this is a fine idea.
-
Eh, I think it should be a material exchange. Maybe 1 EL for 10 motes or 3 coins.

Why not just be able to put armor in a "vanity" slot, where it is unable to provide bonuses except for the style and customization bonuses.

bump..simple and positive solution

That's actually a great idea. It would even give a reason to run PoE again. There have been a few pieces of rare armor that I would have loved to keep and ascend to max level as I thought they looked bad ass.

Yeah just because I like my cloak and the wolf pelt helmet

Personally, I'd prefer to see Etheric Light brought into the economy so that players could have an alternate means of infusing their gear to higher light levels (300+). Got an Etheric Light? Pop it into said item to raise it's light level 5-10 points instead of hoping (and mainly failing) at getting the higher light level gear drop from a weekly Raid/Trials run. This would accomplish two things: 1. Players won't be level locked as many currently are because they can't get the weekly drops from the Raid/Trials they need. 2. Players would really be able to start customizing their armor and weapons more easily to fit their play style. Yeah the raid gear is great for King's Fall, but I'd much rather be wearing other gear for General PvE and even PvP. If things keep dropping the way they are it'll be Year Three before that could happen… Just a thought.

Yes! That's a good idea.....

12 RepliesEtheric Light is a NON-TTK content, they can't use it.

As some others have said, it would be better suited for year 1 to year 2. If any of this was to happen it'll just be another piece of material thrown in to it's shity economy.

Bump. I have some cool looking blue gear I'd like to get above 300.

It would be nice if we could ascend a legendary or exotic piece to 320 with it
