Can someone explain how the light accounting while upgrading legendaries works?

From the helpful posts linked in the OP:
"+2 light per defense upgrade", and
"+8 total light per purple", but
purples have 5 defense upgrades

It seems like that post contradicts itself. What gives?
 
Just got this from a legendary Engram.

Didn't really need it though since I already had an exotic chest piece (Alpha Lupi) for my Titan. Too bad you can't equip more than one exotic..

Looks cool I guess.

So do any public events actually show up reliably? I haven't had any luck recently, using that Destiny public events website.

I just want to do a quick event with my two crappy side characters to get materials for my main one, but it's such a pain to find an event.
 
Ok DestinyGAF...best way to get off of 23 and get more Light'd equipment?

I just hit Vanguard Rank 2 but only have 57 Vanguard Marks and 13 Coins.

Farm? Strikes? Herp-derp??
 
Went and solo'd the 26 weekly using that method from earlier for the boss. Was super easy especially since I was using the Raid solar scout rifle.

I got a pretty decent roll on my queen chest. If I can get the boots next run my hour since hitting 20 old Warlock will be level 26 lol
 
I dunno *shrug*



Check my previous post I got the exact same thing :D

Wow, that looks considerably cooler than what Xur is selling. Maybe I will hold off.

These head shot bounties continue to be the worst case of self perpetuating stupidity ever. Nobody moves, because they want to get sniper rifle head shots. It takes a long time for people to do this, because nobody else is moving. Match after match goes to the time limit. Ugh. I just got an exotic bounty for the first time, so that should at least provide a break.

Do you mind explaining the method? I really need some damn coins.
 
seeing so many suros regimes now. i switched to my monte carlo.

i think the game needs three separate loot "caches". one you get randomly from engrams, one you get from completing activities and the ones you can buy from xur.

having weapons you played countless hours and/or fought hard to get, be available for purchase from xur makes it feel a bit cheap. admittedly this is likely a childish feeling but yeah..I reckon it would be more rewarding if the exotics available through xur weren't the same exotics available through completion of raids or just being extremely lucky with an engram.

Hawkian's guide is incorrect.

Each upgrade is worth +2 or +1.

Non-Raid Legendary Armor starts at 18 Light then upgrades to 20, 22, 23, 25, 27 Light (IIRC). Either the 3 or 4th upgrade is only worth +1 Light.

They max at 27 Light. So +9 from the original value.
 
Level 28 achieved. Still haven't touched the raid or nightfall stuff.

Trying to get three strange coins to get the exotic auto rifle from Xur. Been playing all day and haven't gotten a single one.

Sorry man, wish I knew. Been 23 for a week and tried both farming and doing strikes - very few drops at all and the blues I did get weren't any better than the armor I already had. I've heard people say the Queen bounties and mission will guarantee you some legendary stuff, but I can't be bothered to do those as they don't seem fun.
 
So I finally received my first exotic weapon bounty. I have a choice between the fusion rifle Pocket Infinity, the pulse rifle Bad Juju or the machine gun Super Good Advice?

Any suggestions on which to take? I sort of want an exotic primary, but pulse rifles really aren't my thing and a fusion rifle does sound good...

There is just not enough content there for them to do that.
 
Plan for tonight: buy exotic engram from Xur, break it down!

Maybe buy exotic AR if I can get the coins together. already have the invective but I am just not a shotgun guy unless I need one on a MP map to compete.
 
seems like everyone here does only strikes and co-op missions, no love for pvp.
I've played about 30 matches all together and I swear I've actually gotten worse rather than better. My k/d is a horrid 0.38. I've come the realization that pvp simply is not for me in these types of games. :(

I do wish they'd axe exotic weapons from Xur's stock. Armor is fine because, well...it's armor. But it is what is.

I could be wrong but I don't think it's just defense upgrades. I thought it was any upgrade that requires materials. So not the ones that just require glitter and not ones that are free option ones down a tree.
 
Mine just appeared after handing in a vanguard bounty. I'm only rep level 2 with vanguard so don't think it's connected to that. I am level 25 currently.
 
Can you get to 28 with one exotic armour (maxed) and the remaining three slots be regular legendaries that you don't drop shards into?

I think that'd be +30, +22, +22, +22, for 96 light, but I'm not sure if that's enough for level 28?
