I have several vintage guns and pieces of armour in my vault that I really want to make useful again but they were never fully upgraded. The problem is that there are now almost no opportunities left to gain ascendant materials and none at all if you are primarily a PvP player. The daily heroic missions that offer them are far and few between and on top of that they offer no matchmaking which is a serious barrier for some (and soloing is not a fun option because of their difficulty). I've heard that VoG is a source, but not everybody wants to do a full-on raid for materials. It makes no sense that these materials should be this hard to gain now. Edit: Thanks for all the advice folks. I will simply have to grind out these mats doing VoG and/or Dailies. I kind of already knew that before I posted here but just wanted to make sure I didn't miss any other alternatives. Edit 2: Two things after a day of replies: 1. Thank you for all the constructive advice from many of you. My question has been answered. Thanks to you I now realise that setting the difficulty to 26 or higher on any pre-HoW daily strike will allow me to easily get ascendant materials. 2. And to the people that do nothing all day but pour derision on those who are looking for help on these forums: Frack off!
