Synthweave

Synthweave is a class-specific material introduced in Season of the Splicer. Ada-1 describes it as programmable matter more sophisticated than Glimmer, developed by the Clovis Bray corporation, with earlier development tied to Braytech. Each class has its own type: Synthweave Plate for Titans, Synthweave Strap for Hunters and Synthweave Bolt for Warlocks.

Guardians earn Synthcord from Armor Synthesis bounties, and each completed bounty awards 100 Synthcord of the character's class. Synthcord is exchanged at the Loom in Ada-1's room in the Tower for one Synthweave. Synthweave is spent at the Loom to convert collected armor into universal Armor Ornaments. A character can earn up to ten Synthweave per class per season, and it cannot be transferred between classes.

The earlier currency Synthstrand was replaced with Glimmer after Season of the Lost.
