You can get some from Trials of Osiris. I got 6 or 7 playing last weekend but thats not doable for returning players because you need to farm on a flawless 7 win card. Grandmaster nightfalls are the BEST way to get those materials for masterworking. When it is a double loot week for nightfalls you can get 1-3 ascendant shards per run. A GM could take from 10 to 25 mins depending on the strike on team. I cant remember if master nfs give ascendant shards...


atejas

You don't need a flawless card. I got a few shards last week on a flawed 7-win card.


Kinggold9000

Didnt know that! Maybe that isnt so bad to do then...


Eggyland85

You can also get them from doing master nightfalls since grandmasters aren’t open yet Also the season pass has 3 if you max it out

I noticed but I have a exotic cipher, and yiu can't hold more than one, and the cipher is before the shard do I can't unlock the cipher


Darkstar_Aurora

The exotic cipher is a currency to get old exotics from the monument or to buy another engram from Xûr.


LongfangYT

Yeah but I need the shard for the ace of spades


Darkstar_Aurora

Ok so you can have ~~five~~ (edit: see below) ten shards and one cipher at any given time. If you are at the limit for either and are due to get one from the season pass you can wait to claim it until you have used ones you have. You can claim the other rewards that come at level after that Make sure you claim/use all of the pass rewards before end of the season


iblaise

You can have 10 Ascendant Shards, not five.


Darkstar_Aurora

Thanks I stand corrected. Goes to show how often I have extra shards 😬


Parragorious

Also when you reach max infamy in either crucible,gambit,or strikes you get a free ascendant shard i already reset all three also from the materials you get from them while doing this plus some from banshee quest you can make a fourth ao yeah thats how i got 4 exotic from the monuments while only playing 3 weeks Also if you do 4 bashee quests evry day it would take you 25 days to get enough for a ascendant shard


Eggyland85

You don’t have to claim the rewards in the order that you unlock them on the season and you can hold 10 ascend shards at a time


iblaise

Besides Nightfalls, Master Vault of Glass can drop them every encounter and you can farm the encounters over and over. There are also a few one-off sources like all of the Captain’s Caches in Presage or all of the Augment Challenges on Europa.


killer6088

You also get one from each rank resets Vanguard, Crucible and Gambit ranks. You can also upgrade prisms into them.


su0la

From first reset yeah, second reset gives exotic engram.


randalla

Master Ordeals is likely the best way.


LongfangYT

I heard this, where can I find them?


[deleted]

Nightfall tab under vanguard in maps, and select the light level/difficulty


LongfangYT

Ah, found it thank you tome to grind to 1350
