The easiest way to obtain Legendary Shards is by dismantling equipment in your inventory. Dismantling Legendary weapons and armor grants the player three Legendary Shards, while Exotic weapons and armor give five Legendary Shards. This rule also applies for Legendary Ships and Sparrows. Legendary Shards can also be earned from certain ranks of the Season Pass.
