In Destiny you will get items and materials that you can use for various things in game. Some come from dismantling armor while others can be found in the open world or during missions. Check out the full Destiny item and material list here!
Upgrade Materials
Materials are used to upgrade your weapons and armor. You can get most of them by dismantling equipment you don’t need anymore. End game currency also goes in these slots.
Spinmetal – Spinmetal can be found on earth by patrolling the cosmodrome. In the world they are silver plants coming out of toxic barrels. You can also find them in chests. Used to upgrade certain weapons and armor.
Helium Filaments – Found on the Moon. In the world they are a bunch of glowing orange tubes. Used to upgrade certain armor and weapons.
Spirit Bloom – Found on Venus. Looks like a glowing green flower in the world. Used to upgrade certain weapons and armor.
Relic Iron – Found on Mars. Looks like a worn down pillar and out of place. Used to upgrade certain weapons and armor.
Ascendant Shard – Rare upgrade material that upgrades epic armor. Can be found in rare class engrams or rewarded for events.
Ascendant Energy – The other one upgrades armor so my guess is this one upgrades epic weapons. Also given as event rewards or found by decrypting rare class engrams.
Weapon Materials – Of course used to upgrade weapons. You get these from dismantling weapons.
Sapphire Wire – Hunter armor upgrade material. Break down hunter armor to get these materials.
Hadronic Essence – Warlock armor upgrade material. Break down warlock armor to get these upgrade materials.
