Destiny 2 Economy Changes to Help New Players

The way you masterwork armor is changing in the Edge of Fate. All armor will drop with maximum energy. Instead, masterworking will increase the stats of your armor as noted in the recent Destiny 2 livestream. Enhancement prisms will be more readily available to help with the increased use of the resource.
