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.
Come on, you ALL know you want to wear a Legendary Seraph I armor set.

I agree actually
-
+1 light level I'd be on with that
-
-
Etheric light should be used for trading in for silver...
-
My iron banner gear is ded ;_____;
-
Awesome idea, some of that Blue armor is so badass looking compared to the Legendaries.
-
This is the best idea I've heard all day.

[quote]Come on, you ALL know you want to wear a Legendary Seraph I armor set.[/quote] Hell yes I do. I've seen a couple Rare weapons I'd have liked to keep using, too, but they're useless outside of standard Crucible. Perhaps also allow you to use these with Legendary Marks to outright upgrade old Y1 Exotics, too?

1 EL = 5 Motes Of Light Or 5 Strange Coins Or 5000 Glimmer That's How I see it since EL was fairly rare to get in HOW

Edited by mindhypnotized: 10/31/2015 11:30:12 PMEtheric light should be used to instantly fill in all the upgrade nodes on a single weapon or armor piece, effectively acting as a stack of like 20 or 30 motes of light. Perhaps it could be limited to legendaries since exotics need more XP.

I suggested that etheric light be used as a consumable that allows the weapon you apply it to get a random element. That way we can have our preferred weapons with out preferred element.

How about we could use etheric light to transmogrify our armor? Go to item - use etheric light - dismantle the armor with the look that you want - new item has first items stats with the second items look.

Rare gear looks better than Legendary gear. Make this happen.
-
Why would it stay the same level, that ruins everything
-
i think it should've been used to upgrade exotics (only the ones available)
-
That would be awesome. I just got the FWC warlock helmet because it reminded me lf the vanilla helmet. Gonna upgrade that with raid gear because everyone walks around with raid stuff on. I saw this one rare warlock helmet that looked sick and was wondering "why the -blam!- csnt we have legendaries look like this?" same with my hunter and titan.
-
I was thinking it would be cool if esthetic light could be used to either add light to current gear. Even if it was just exotics. Nothing major like maybe 5 or 10 light. Or use it to re roll legendaries, like the glass needle. Nothing to much as far as programming work and gives a good reason to do Poe.

-
That's a great idea
-
I like this idea
-
This would suck. Blue only has one perk...so you'd have gimped legendary gear... How bout a system to change the look of armor, beyond color shaders. That'll give you the customization you wanted.
-
They will not make it so valuable that people start grinding for it. My guess would be glimmer.
-
I think this would be a great idea to offer some more variety in class armor. There are some hunter cloaks that are really awesome that are only rare and useless beyond a certain point. I would love to have them be legendary. I think the only problem would be the stat boost loss. None of the rare gear has the strength, discipline, or intellect boost perks. Other than that I think this would work really well
