[quote]I feel that the cost to upgrade weapons and armour is way to expensive. Might be alright for the grinders but bringing a piece of armour or weapon from 10 to level is ridiculous. Should be at least half or less of the current cost.[/quote] You can pull blues from collections to bridge the gap between 10 and 200. That’ll save a lot of Cores. If you make sure to always infuse the same item into itself as much as possible that will only cost Glimmer and thus save on Cores as well. It can still get expensive but there comes a point where you’ll be dismantling more than you keep and you’ll stock up. I stopped playing for 11 days and had 100K. I farmed for a week and ended up at 510K. That was with levelling multiple characters armour and weapons as well.
