Exotic Shards Methods Y2
Hello fellow guardians.
I was able to see a ton of posts on exotic shards, but was curious as to the best method to obtain them.
I discovered a year 2 Mida and dismantled it. Since I discovered it, I can forge it at the tower for 150 legendary marks. Can I forge and dismantle, and repeat for inifinte exotic shards? If so, that seems kinda slow. Is there a better way?
When I see people saying they have 30+... it seems impossible to me at the moment.
Sorry if I am posting incorrectly or repetitively. I am enjoying Destiny and trying to get the most out of it. :)
Thanks in advance for any help!

If you have a Y1 version of one of the "brought forward" exotics, you can purchase the Y2 version from the kiosk for 150 marks. Once you have the Y2 version unlocked, you can buy duplicates at 280 atk for an exotic shard and a handful of glimmer. You can get the weapon, level it up (pump a bunch of XP into it to unlock all the bubbles) and then sack it. That will usually give you more than 1 shard back in return, so it's an semi effective way to turn motes and glimmer into shards. Another way to start stockpiling them is to buy a whole bunch of 3oC from Xur, and then grind away. Start deleting your dups or the un-used weapons/armor that's taking up space in your vault (since it's saved in the kiosk, there's really no need to hang onto items that you're not using).
