dismantling a masterworked armor/guns (2023)

[Elzam]

cuz i only find old thread of that. idk how it works now lol
will we got the yellow materials thingy back ?

[Malthar]

you get 7 enhancement cores when you dismantle a masterwork item

[Harley ᓄᓂᖅ]

Masterworked weapons when dismantled will give 7 enhancement cores.

Masterworked Armour will drop 2 enhancement prisms (I think it's 2) and a few enhancement cores.

Exotic masterworked armour will return an ascendant shard and some prisms back to you.

dammit
nothing is free huh

i just came back ater long hiatus and findout my mastereworked gear is capped at 1600 lol

If it has a grey corner, then yes, it's capped at 1600. That mean's it's gear from S10 or earlier. That was all sunsetted.

If it does NOT have a grey corner, then you can infuse it to higher light levels using an upgrade module (and any higher piece of gear (of the same type) that you don't want).

Sunsetting was an attempt to create a form of "hard" obsolescence, where gear would become too old to use and have to be replaced. Players hated it. (Players always hate any form of obsolescence or durability). So they removed it. But stuff that WAS sunsetted remains sunsetted.

Now (instead) they use a form of "soft" obsolescence which basically works out to power-creep.
