Here’s how it works. Upgrading exotic weapons and armor is completed by interacting with the weekend vendor, Xur. When he arrives every Friday morning, he will now have a new option to upgrade one of your equipped exotic items. Each week, he’ll offer some (but not all) exotic items as being available to upgrade. You’ll need three things. First, you need to own the original version of that exotic item, and turn it in to exchange for the upgraded version. It doesn’t matter if this old version of the item is brand new or fully upgraded. To complete the upgrade, you’ll also need to turn in an exotic shard. This recently introduced new material is available for purchase for seven strange coins from Xur, or by breaking down another existing exotic item in your inventory. Finally, each exotic upgrade costs a hefty dose of cash – around 7000 glimmer as of my playthrough of the expansion in mid-November. After turning all three of these things into Xur, he’ll hand you a brand new version of your item with a higher defense or attack value cap.
I don't get what the big deal is. It takes you less than an hour to max out a gun and they made them waaaaaay easier to upgrade
That's way easier than using 8 ascendant energy per damage upgrade. Now all you need to upgrade exotics is a farmable material and weapon or armour parts. Then all you do is wait for Xur to show up, much easier.

You have to level the weapon and put the parts into it and materials again.

You just pop it before you hand in the bounties and it boosts all the xp from the bounties.
This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for that goddamn 25000 glimmer limit -_-
I had Density on 0/10 when it first came out.

Just when Destiny was looking a little better...
