  • This fee for regaining items is based on what the item can be dismantled into

• “Three of Coins” have been removed
  • Converted into “Faded Engram”
  • Can be easily dismantled for Legendary fragments

• The Prisma Matrix is now time-scheduled for the entire season
• The Prisma Facet (free weekly roll per account) can now be obtained through a special Level 1 Eververse bounty instead of leveling up. This bounty costs 250 Glimmer, and an Eververse bounty token is not required
  • This allows players at all levels to receive their free weekly roll

• Each seasonal Bright Engram now offers a bounty token
  • These bounty tokens can be exchanged for a variety of weekly Eververse bounties, which are available in 3 tiers:
    • Tier 1: Costs 1 Eververse bounty token Grants 20 Bright Dust
    • Tier 2: Costs 3 Eververse bounty tokens Grants 70 Bright Dust
    • Tier 3: Costs 6 Eververse bounty tokens Grants 150 Bright Dust
• Players can accept as many Eververse bounties as they have tokens

• Starting Forsaken, players will no longer receive Bright Engrams with each level achieved up to the maximum level

  • This also applies to players using the character boost
• Once players reach the maximum level, Bright Engrams will be granted as before
