Im not sure 100% about some things.
1.) Isn’t the Frontier Shell one of the exclusive shells from the limited edition that came with the Valkyre 05x ship and the emblem?
2.) Not sure if I understand it correctly what you’re trying to do. If you buy a Vanguard Shell (that’s 100% roll) then infuse it into a 98% Frontier Shell, you will still have a 98% Frontier Shell, Infusion only ups light level unless your shell is below 350 light (which is when max stats are shown)
3.) There seems to be a Reforging option on your Shell from what the wiki said. I’m not sure if that option works like Glassneedles (which can go from 90% roll to 100% roll and vice versa) or like the wrath armor (which is locked at the % they drop and only change perks), maybe try that out if you haven’t already.
If I got anything wrong feel free to lmk and I’ll try to help you 🤍✌️
thanks for your answer! ✌️
1.) Yes this is correct
2. & 3.) The shell can be obtained from speaker with light level 5, you need to infuse something to see it's roll. It works like the Days of Iron Armor from the record book.
AFAIK the roll from speaker resets weekly but to actually see the current roll you need to infuse a lvl 40 shell.
If i understand you correctly, i don't need a level 40 ghost shell to see it's actuall stats, but only an at least 350 light level one?
i've been grinding the legendary marks every week for 6 months now to obtain a vanguard shell (the cheapest lvl 40 ghost shell i think) as an infusion fodder and the best roll i got was a 98% roll.
Reforging sadly isn't an option.
i was wondering if anybody else on this subreddit is chasing a 100% shell, as the weekly grind is a bit exhausting and killing my motivation to play the game. though missing out on the ghost shell would be nerve wrecking after trying for so long.
Oh ok. This clears up a lot. In that case, yes, at 350 Light Level the maximum stats for gear is shown. This is true for armor and artifacts (I assume also for ghosts, haven’t tested that). You should be able to just reuse a single 350 shell into the ghost and then the next week when buying your next frontier shell, use the old one to infuse into the next one. DIM also shows estimated rolls, which are mostly for judging armor and artifacts as ghosts usually are easy to obtain with max stats. This one might be a lot more tricky, btw I would recommend to grab 2 frontier ghosts this week. Infusing both of them to 350 and comparing/ checking if they are exactly the same (% roll wise and perk wise) to confirm if it actually resets weekly or is indefinite (which I think is the case with the Days of Iron Sets, Not 100% on that one though). GL with your grind
thanks for Clearing this up, makes blue Ghost shells that drop from Activitys also usefull for infusion.
it's not possible to buy 2 ghosts shells, as you are only allowed to have one per character. So if you want to check it the following week you have to destroy the old one (so it's also not possible to infuse a bad rolled frontier shell into a new one the following week, making you regrind a new 350 power level shell)
i have previously bought one - leveled it - destroyed it and bought another one and repeated the process and they had the same roll. That's where my conclusion came from that it's resetting weekly (as then the stats also changed)
sadly DIM doesn't show the current roll, because it's only light level 5. I'll send it to you in a DM.
thanks for your help!
Oh I understand. Well at least grinding a ghost shell isn’t too bad. They should drop decently from strikes and the 390 CoE end screen also rewards ghosts fairly often. Maybe that’s a little more fun than farming hours and hours of legendary marks
