Destiny 2 destination materials to be depreciated, finally

pcgamesn.com:

In this week’s hefty TWAB, the Bungie team shared its intention to depreciate Destiny 2 destination materials in Season 19. Such materials have played a role in the game’s economy since the original Destiny, but have become rather cumbersome as the space game continues to evolve.

The depreciation will impact Destiny 2 materials including Dusklight Shards, Microphasic Datalattice, Helium Filaments, Baryon Boughs, Spinmetal Leaves, and Glacial Starwort. However, Guardians with excess destination materials on hand don’t need to worry about using them by the end of the current season, as Bungie will allow players to continue to trade their stockpiles for glimmer for an undisclosed amount of time.

Starting in Season 19, which is the last season before the Destiny 2 Lightfall expansion releases in February 2023, players who have destination materials in their inventories will be able to visit Rahool, the cryptarch, to exchange them in stacks of 20 for 5,000 glimmer (or 250 glimmer each if a player has fewer than 20 remaining).

Enhancement prisms and ascendant shards will no longer require destination materials as part of the exchange and instead will require legendary shards, along with 10 cores and 10,000 glimmer for each prisim and 10 prisms and 50,000 glimmer for each shard. Beginning next season, Rahool will also accept Dark Fragments, Phantasmal Fragments, and Herealways Pieces in exchange for glimmer.

Since destination materials are among the easiest ways to obtain the glimmer needed to upgrade and alter weapons and armour, Bungie has opted to increase glimmer payouts for public events. Heroic events will dole out 10k-12.5k glimmer, while normal-mode events will only grant 3.3k-4.645k.
