How many exotic shards are received when dismantling an infused exotic?
Dismantling an exotic item rewards one exotic shard. Infusing an exotic item costs one exotic shard.
If I infuse an exotic then dismantle it, do I receive one or two exotic shards? Furthermore, if I infuse twice, do I receive three exotic shards?
Best Answer
Always one. It 'costs' 1 shard to infuse, so to infuse you actually lose the shard. (for new players, like myself, who didn't have a ton of strange coins, this is a very big wall. I have blue items at 300 and exotics at 280-290 I can't use because I don't have enough shards to infuse them.)
Side note: You get less from infusing exotics also. 80% of the difference when infusing a legendary, but only 70% of the difference when infusing an exotic. Full 5 points if only 5 point difference with legendary, full 4 points if 4 point difference with exotic.

Dismantling Masterworked Exotic Armor does award one Ascendant Shard, but this gear costs three to make. While not the most efficient method, it's worth doing if players found the same piece of Masterworked Exotic Armor with significantly better stats.How do you get more exotic shards?
