Shaders
- Forsaken shaders do not drop in the wild; instead, they come from dismantling gear with that shader applied

- The Prismatic Facet (free weekly account roll) is now obtained via a special Tier 1 Eververse bounty, rather than being tied to leveling, which can be acquired for 250 Glimmer and that does not require an Eververse Bounty Note
- This permits players at all levels to obtain their free weekly roll
Eververse Bounties

- These Bounty Notes can be exchanged for a variety of weekly Eververse Bounties, which come in three tiers:
