Legendary Shards

"Remnants of powerful items. Used to improve gear or trade for other items."

— In-game description

Legendary Shards were a currency in Destiny 2. They were used to purchase items, mainly Exotic gears and Fated Engrams from Xûr, Agent of the Nine, and to infuse gear to make them stronger. As of the release of The Final Shape, Legendary Shards are no longer in the game and have since been deprecated.
