Can you farm Nightfall for items? Or are the rare drops a one time thing? Also do you get better items doing Vault of Glass or Nightfall?

You can only do Nightfall and the Raid once a week. If you do them again you don't get anymore items.

The Raid group I was with that beat it on Monday night, we all went back in after and all the chests were giving us nothing.
 
Did the queens missions 3 times (I didn't you know you could leave to orbit and redo Earth mission) doh. I did earth then black garden (which took forever) got the helm twice and the chest just now. Just need exotics now and legendary main weapon! :)

Can you elaborate?
 
You guys won't believe what I just got for completing nightfall....

I wanted this sooooo bad after watching the video I posted a few days ago... thank you rngesus
 
Ty sir. Guess I'm sticking with that New Monarchy titan mark after all.

Is there any particular faction suited for a Warlock?

I did 3 Queen bounties including the fallen 200 headshot one and the boss battle dreksis or whatever. In all of that I did not get one single legendary. I did receive 3 engrams from the postmaster which 2 of them turned green and one of them was a shitty pulse rifle. Really starting to dislike this game.

Crucible is a disaster with the new subclasses. My Warlock is getting shitted on by that blade dancer bullshit.
 
Can you elaborate?

When you do a Queens Wrath mission, if it puts you in one that takes forever or is hard to solo (Black Garden), just return to orbit and re-start the mission. You don't lose a mission ticket and its random each time so you can keep re-rolling until you get the one you want. Most people like the Earth mission where you recover the warp-drive because its one of the easiest to solo, and very short.
 
So I take it that everybody has a cryptarch that is just plain retarded?

Have these 6 legendary engrams oh wise level 14 master of histories, what mysterious treasures can you unlock from these fabulous purple gems.

A bunch of worthless green shit every fucking time seemingly.

He actually gets more dense the higher ranked he gets, its like he is decoding them by smashing them on his stupid fucking head and the greens are a result of cumulative cranial trauma.

I am glad I am at the point now where getting an exotic chest piece from Nightfall is a bummer, because I already have an exotic helmet maxed out.

Haha. I really just want exotic weapons now, since I have an exotic armour piece and need raid armour to get to 30. Need RAID ARMOUR!
 
Get vanguard & crucible marks and rep until you're able to buy legendaries from vendors, then upgrade them as you go.

So just farm strikes and crucible then for rep? I'll stick on that.

Do a Queen bounty and then a Queen's Wrath mission (left side of the select destination screen) and you'll get a guaranteed Legendary.

Oh, I've got the mission yesterday, haven't tried it. I'll try it tonight!
 
Thunderlord baby

You're alright with me cryptarch bro

All in all I've found either he gives me currency or actual purple/yellow items. I can count on one hand the times he's given me blues
 
God damn the Weekly Strike is a bitch on level 28

We did it on 27 after the Nightfall so it was so much easier lol.

Nightfall rewards are only once per week. And yes VOG and Nightfall give the best rewards consistently.

lol at people still ragging on other peoples supers and classes.

Spoilers: Everything is OP and bullshit, welcome to the Crucible.

Indeed, I'm guilty of it too. That said, better everything OP then a bunch of shit nerfed. Nerfed weapons and skills are not fun to use and lower the sandbox value. Unfortunately, Bungie has a tendency to nerf too much. That's why I'm really worried about the upcoming complaining will skew Bungie's nerf patch. For instance, there was no need to nerf the Scout rifle.
 
Got through most of the raid yesterday. Definitely requires strong team work and communication. Looking forward to finishing it tonight with the GAF team.

I'm a little pissed that all I got was ascendant shards from all three chests, and checkpoints, while everyone else seemed to get legendary gear. Hopefully the mission reward is good to me.

Praying to RNGesus!
 
funny, went there...

mayby i should clarify... the place where he is in the strike, go to that location in patrol. then kill em all you want! :)

He was there in patrol, he found lots of guys there, so it was hard to get the final hit for the kill to count for him, so I suggested the less better option of the strike.

Isn't that one a bounty? I swear the first bounty I did for her was kill "It's in the walls!". This is also one of her missions as well? Jesus, I spent all night on black garden and Mars. Shit.
 
I really appreciate that. Every comment I get like this reminds me why I spend the effort on stuff like that. I really love this community and want it to thrive, and beyond the game's various perfectly notable flaws there's a lot of plain old misunderstanding still out there.


No problem man! I even forwarded your guide to my real life buddy at work. Very useful and it did help me figure out more what to do to level up in a more methodical way. Appreciate most of your posts, as they always seem relevant to what I could use some additional guidance with.
 
i will play the shit out of crucible if they add a competitive playlist with no supers and maybe a standard set of starting weapons
PVP was more fun in beta when people were lvl 8. No super shit all over the place. I wish there was a playlist for no powers as well.
 
Nightfall gives coins/materials or legendary/exotic random items, which can be quite good.

Raid gives a bunch of raid specific legendary armor (can go to 30 light/level 30 with a full set), and some unique legendaries that have bonuses against enemies in the raid (helps with hard mode primarily).

They're not really 'better', aside from a few special drops I've seen from Atheon, a Solar Scout Rifle that I looted from him and a Void Assault Rifle that one of my fireteam got.

You can only do Nightfall and the Raid once a week. If you do them again you don't get anymore items.

One time. No better drops.

Cheers guys.
 
Am I missing something, or is the Queen's bounty that requires having her class, shader, and emblem equipped impossible to do this early in the event?

Yeah, it's impossible to complete since there's no way anyone has the rep for it yet. How about them salvage bounties though?
 
Yes, that same mission is also a bounty, but it can be a Wrath one too :)

Sweet RNGesus! Whelp, now I just have to sit through 8.5 hours of work to once again run home and try something new in Destiny. The good news is, I've lost about 10 pounds in the last two weeks since I just eat a quick bowl of cereal for dinner instead of making a full fledged meal lol

Hey, I only got shards as well :p I think I'm up to 30. I just want ONE ITEM PLEASE.

strange, went there 3 times, nobody around. killed him, left came back, killed it again.

now the public event area, not a chance.

dunno, shitty luck i guess...

Yup, it fits there with the salvage bounties they kept putting up the past few days. I don't even think Bungie knows what they're doing ._.;

Well, off to grind some queens bounties and hopefully materials.

Bungie likes to act like fools. It's no different than when they were giving us a salvage crucible bounty when there was no salvage playlist at that time.
 
Thanks to Ced and Narmer212, I was able to knock out a couple of Queen's Wrath missions and bounties. Got a chest piece each time, neither of which I needed. Oh well. We'll see what comes up next time.

Interesting that the Queen's Wrath shaders and emblems provide bonuses towards earning points. I hope they add more abilities to decorative items.

Has a weird thing with my Hold headset-- Ced could hear me fine but I could not hear him at all. Not sure if it was his end or mine. The rest of the game audio came through loud and clear. I hope it was just a glitch in the matrix and not a sign of my cans wigging out.

As disappointed and frustrated I am with this game, those couple queen missions were fun. I actually got the helm which I needed.

Not sure what was up with chat, I thought we were working ok when we first started playing.

I need to knock out the weekly heroic if you all are up for it one night this week.

Yea, I spent probably 3 hours last night on mars and venus queen's missions. I was trying to rush thinking it would be easy. I've solo'd the weekly Heroic at 26 but that was Phogoth easy mode. I couldn't find any great spots to hide out in the boss areas for these missions and since I was rushing I kept forgetting to stock up on ammo packs.

After hours of making my way through these levels only to get my face melted by the bosses I finally got the earth mission, cleared it and got the helm I was praying to RNGesus for.

PRAISE RNGESUS!

Edit: Not the Nightfall actually but the weekly heroic at 26.

Start the mission, if it's not earth, exit to orbit and restart it. It'll be a different mission. Repeat until you get Earth, save yourself a lot of time.
