#bright dust

Recently, yet another scandal (if you want to call it that) has got the Destiny Community’s greaves in a bunch: More than half of the base shaders are locked behind the Eververse paywall. I think the Eververse paywall is imaginary and is only real to retards brainwashed by the whole micro-transaction hysteria, but... I’m just a fanboy and I digress. This could be viewed as a negative, money-grabbing tactic, but because I’m an optimist and needing to do some spring cleaning I decided to turn ugly shaders into bright dust. To my surprise, I was able to clear up some vault space as well as get a boost in Bright Dust by dismantling Eververse shaders. Good thing most base shaders are behind this evil paywall, amirite?

I started with about 3,200 Bright Dust and ended with about 8,500 just from dismantling all of the Eververse shaders I had.

Plus, as stated above, I cleared up space at the postmaster on all characters, my vault, and inventory to narrow down my shader count to 44. I’m gonna go through and delete more because I only use the factions, raid, Dawning, and Iron Banner shaders to begin with. 

Anyways, here are the shaders you need to delete for 7-12 bright dust per dismantle:

Arctic Pearl

Bumblebee

Cerulean Divide

Dawn and Dusk

Dawning Brilliance*

Dawning Festiveness*

Dawning Hope*

Dawning Warmth*

Descendent Vex Chrome

Desert of Gold

Frumious Blue

Hakke History Polish

Golden Trace

Indigo Matrix

Mercury Vex Chrome

Metallic Sunrise

Metroshift

Midnight Talons

Monochromatic

Nebula Rose

Noble Constant Red

Omolon Meteor Gloss

Precursor Vex Chrome

Suros Modular Shine

Tarnished Copper

Vanguard Magnus Gloss

Veist Poison Shimmer

Watermelon

Xenosilver

* =  The Dawning shaders you receive from gifts will NOT break down into bright dust.
