Is there a trick or best method for getting masterwork cores? I've done the patrols/pvp/clan/strikes milestones on all 3 characters and have gotten 3 masterworks weapons which dismantled into 4 cores. Who here had 15 masterwork cores already and how the hell did you get that many so quickly?

Osiris and his cult were mishandled. The mystique has been completely destroyed, and it didn't need to be Before Curse of Osiris, I had this mental image of Osiris as this guardian radiating with blinding Light, and speaking in riddles about the unimaginable things he has seen. I thought he must be a great leader with an inspiring vision to amass such a following. I thought of his cult as those privy to a great truth about the nature of the Light, and transcend what it means to be a guardian (back in the Destiny 1 Vestian Outpost, I remember Brother Vance saying he was once a warlock before joining Osiris). I remember Parables of the Allspring and Fractal Scrolls speaking of the sun dissolving one's body and letting one's soul flow with the river of time, suggesting the Cult of Osiris, or Osiris himself, has achieved higher levels of consciousness connected to all of time. With Curse of Osiris, it's revealed that Osiris is not some transcendent guardian glowing with Light or "flowing with the river of time" for higher dimensional perceptions of reality, and he's not some great leader either (he doesn't even interact with his followers). Osiris is pretty much just like any other guardian, except he has a big reputation, and he knows how to work a big Vex simulation machine. He doesn't come off as someone with eons of wisdom and experience from being within the Vex space-time networks and simulations, but just some dude with a vague accent. Brother Vance (and the cult) no longer seems like someone that has been enlightened to a great truth, but just a blind fanboy (see what I did there? lol) idolizing a man he's never even met. He has been made into a goofy caricature, and there are no signs of any great knowledge. On top of that, the lore of the Progeny scout rifle reveals that contrary to the dialogue in Destiny 1, Brother Vance never was a guardian. I hate it. I really, REALLY hate it. Not just because these once interesting characters weren't handled well, but also because of what it means for other aspects of the lore. For example, will The Nine turn out to be just nine regular dudes and ladies sitting on a couch and drinking beers? Will Xur turn out to be just some guy wearing a mask? I get that not seeing something or someone leads to imagining what that they might be like, and what one imagines is often just more exciting than what creators actually intended, but what I imagined was not unfounded or unreasonable. "Ghost Fragment: The Queen 2" Grimoire where Osiris and Eris Morn are implied to be meeting with the Queen Mara Sov suggests that his Light is very strong and blinding, and there are mentions of warlocks connected to Osiris that don't cast shadows (perhaps because they are so bright) in the "Osiris" Grimoire. It was because of the prophetic "Visions" card that I expected Osiris to speak and be a certain way. Even if my idea of Osiris was unfounded, it doesn't excuse turning Brother Vance into a joke.

Well, the game handwaves it away with Sagira basically going 'look everything you've heard is bullshit people have been making up because he's old and weird" which, yeah, is kinda lame. I think the current story is suffering from cutbacks they've been making on it for...some reason. Like the Exo Stranger and The Darkness just not existing anymore.

Saved about 2k tokens/gunsmith mats until masterwork weapons were available [got uriels and 17 cores worth of masterwork weapons]. Tbh if you didn't do something similar the grind will be real

Agreed. I never played D1, but slowly worked through the whole Grimoire and was... underwhelmed. I suppose they wanted Osiris to be approachable, something guardians could aspire to, but they hosed up. Make him truly be a wise prophet transcending the bounds even of what Guardians call humanity and STILL make him something to aspire to. Add new class quests where we can touch the paracausal forces that give him the gift of prophecy. Imply how continued, intentional exposure eroded his humanity and made him something more. And Vance reads by holding his hands over a book: he has loving space magic, why make him a joke?

All D2 story related things save the Calus lore are loving laughably bad and lame, for all the promise of a better narrative the only thing it has going for it at any level is a minimum amount of coherence. It’s dreck. The Calus lore is of course hidden away and not really brought to the front, even in the raid. Thank god they made strikes relevant again and added masterworks.

I've done the patrols/pvp/clan/strikes milestones on all 3 characters and have gotten 3 masterworks weapons which dismantled into 4 cores. I won a single trials match, turned in around 600 tokens to the bottom level vendor lady, and walked away with 30 cores.

Trials and raid gear has a much higher chance to drop as masterwork, it’s the new etheric light. I’ve put around a grand into the gunsmith, still almost nothing but Lincoln’s green that turn into 1 core each

Destiny 2 seems to have a theme of Guardians in truth being underwhelming and kind of lovely except you (and Shaxx). They made the poor life choice of going nowhere for too long, Ghaul calls them out as lovely wimps who only get anywhere by being immortal/constantly respawning, Zavala is the worst planner in the universe with the genius plan of going to the moon right next door to the demon alien megabase, Ikora instantly gives up and leaves, Cayde immediately gets himself trapped, and you're one of the few Guardians who manages to not get murdered despite still having super armor and electromachineguns and rockets that explode into homing rockets, instead just having broken trash because you got kicked off a spaceship. Even Hawthorne calls them out for being colossal babies about being lightless; it's not like she ever had any and she's doing okay. Retcons about all the cool poo poo aside (which sucks a lot they really should put that stuff back in), it's one of the game's central ideas. Guardians suck.

Looking at the Return on Investment on those token things you can buy from Shaxx to give everyone 5 extra crucible tokens, they are really not worth it.
