I am a player who can play only about 2-3 hours a day after work and I did not get the chance to do the legendary shard dope and I am always at less then 100 shards and when I do get enough to get a engram focused I'm back to nothing and it takes all my time to get just enough shards to focus another engram it's reticular that doesn't even included upgrade manuals and crafting guns there needs to be a better way to grind for them

It’s honestly not been too bad for me. I’ve been hovering around the same amount since S15. By the time I have an Umbral to focus, I’ve gotten 10 shards worth of bad drops. Xur’s crazy expensive but he’s been like that for months. A pro tip is to not upgrade stuff you’re not going to use very often. Armor stick at 7 power and weapons don’t really need masterworks now unless you really need the stats for PvP. Avoiding upgrading a lot helps if you’re low on shards.
