Do you only need to equip the queens wrath gear,emblems, etc when turning in the bounties to get the % bonus for rep or do you have to have it on when the bounty completes?

I've been having her gear equipped the whole time to be safe.

Interestingly the bonus % seems to have increased. Initially I was getting 121 rep on a 100 rep bounty with everything equipped, now I'm getting 181.

I wonder if my postrmaster delivery from the Cryptarch will be affected by the patch. I'm just letting it sit there unopened until then.

Me too!

  • The "regular" strikes are the ones you select on each planet. Their rewards are locked to a particular level e.g. The Devil's Lair is a Level 8 Strike. Matchmaking is present.
  • Strike Playlist comes in 4 flavors (difficulty levels) and consists of a Strike chosen at random at the level you choose. You can accumulate Vanguard Marks and Rep here as well.
  • The icons to your left show the Dailies and Weeklies; some rotate each day like the Daily Story Mission, while some rotate only once a week like the Weekly Heroic Strike and Nightfall Strike. These are also high level but you can scale the difficulty up for more rewards such as Ascendant Materials or Strange Coins. Matchmaking for the Strikes here is not present.

Since I chose crucible over vanguard for accumulating marks and rep, is there then no practical reason for me to do the strikes playlist?

Have you seen my guides in the OP?

Unless you are heavily into PvP primarily, you want to focus on Vanguard rank/marks first before Crucible.

I am definitely much more heavily into PvP primarily. At lv24 I've only just gotten to Venus. Story mode just isnt that engaging.

Thanks for reminding me about the guides. Last time I looked at them I was not ready for them so it went in one ear (eye?) and out the other. Taking another look.

I guess my goal right now is to play a bunch of crucible while upgrading my purples until I get to 26. Buy more of them when I am able. And also do weekly heroics for strange coins to give to Xûr.

Hey hawkain I were just reading your tips and sorry if this was answered but I'm a 27 warlock and I need some ass shards can I just break down some legendaries I've gotten from rahool to aquire them ?

hell yes. rip em open. remember only armor, weapons give energy
 
I really need to level an alt for all the benefits. Raid 2x a week, Nightfall 2x a week and Weekly Heroic 2x a week would be amazing. Just dont want to go through that grind again
:(

I actually do have a Titan up to level 9 so it wouldnt be that bad... But still.
 
Look in the buildings around the one with the angel statue. I believe I found mine in a small room in one of them. If youre going deep into the angel statue building, you've gone too far. I *think* mine was in the building with the servitor and fallen near the beginning of the map.

WTF? I was of the understanding that all exotic bounties were given out at random. I could have gotten this shit a long time ago lol.

Are there any others like this?
 
I just finished a crucible match and got nothing. No marks no reputation or glimmer. I wasn't afk I had 10 kills 8 deaths.... What gives?

Sorry that got your hopes up. it's the first step of the bounty, not how you acquire it
 
New OT and a purple engram turned into a exotic...*tears* mida multi tool. Never used a scout rifle, will test it after work. Any thoughts on this weapon?
 
I also had the comparison to WoW going in my head for a while, when I first did the raid, but at least in WoW even if you're not gaining actual drops from within the raid, you are acquiring Valor Points to purchase gear from vendors outside the raid that's required to progress, and still even if you're not getting drops the rest of the raid is, which increases your guilds / raid groups average item level every week allowing for further progress. I've only had situations where I didn't get anything for weeks if I was waiting for a specific piece of gear or if it was DKP system.

But I just did a VoG run where every single person received Shards / Energy, and only one person received a gun and it was Atheon's Epilogue not even a useful exotic, I foresee a situation where people are stuck at level 29 because they aren't getting the raid pieces of gear they need but instead getting shards and energies, which are used to...upgrade the actual pieces of gear they need.

I just don't understand the logic of having shards and energies included in the actual boss kill loot table, keep that shit to the chests and check points.

raid loot pool makes no sense. shards/energy/shaders should be in the chests, whereas weapons, gear and whatever else should drop after the phases. if you go the whole raid and only get ascendent energy, then tough luck for you because you have to wait a week later to get anything from it again.

a random loot system on top of timegates and level caps is ridiculous.

You're misunderstanding. That is simply the first step of an exotic bounty that was given out at random.
 
Not really, instead of "you're probably getting a blue item, if lucky you'll get a legendary item, and if even luckier you'll get one for your class, if even luckier than that you'll get an exotic"

it's "you're getting a legendary item, if lucky you'll get one for your class, if luckier you'll get an exotic"

Either way, a legendary is guaranteed now, which is much much better than the previous shenanigans.
I mean what's the point if it's not for my class therefore it's of no benefit for me.
 
Let's keep the responses coming forth in the 3-item challenge

Best: Praedyth's Revenge. From the VoG, void damage sniper rifle with the most insane reloads I've ever seen (added to further thanks to other similar buffs my character has). Hit the sweet spot and it explodes targets causing area of effect damage explosions ( e.g. vapourises adjacent Vandals when you snipe the guy next to him). Was taking ~8000 a pop off an animated Atheon, with 6 quick, steady shots from the magazine and a total of 24 it's dangerous to be around.

Oldy but goody: Bronzed Miyamoto-D. It's only a rare and I've had basically the Legendary equivalent and recycled but kept this one. It got me through much of the earlier parts of the game and was a ton of fun to use. Insane RoF with miniscule impact, but had the great effect of helping put some strike bosses (such as the psions) into a kind of shocked/stunned state when also fired upon by others in the fireteam. Similar with the Public Events to destroy the target, kept them from running away too fast. This one is in the bank, never letting go, in fact I might pop it back into my inventory just for fun when I start my new Space Jesus tomorrow, will give me something to aim for before level 20.

Cosmetic: Fragment of the Prime. It's sparkly, nothing more than that. Other Side of Nothing has nice purple mist, Forgotten Force has nice fire, but I prefer the cosmic bling of this one.

They're an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.

Seriously, I would hold onto it, Scout Rifles will be getting a buff soonish.
 
Meaning you wont find them in Blue rare engrams as much as they'll now be Purple legendary engrams, right?

Or is i slow? lol

Well, one of the big things they're doing is upping the drop rate for legendaries from rare engrams, and ascendant materials were already a pretty steady grab from rare engrams.
 
But I just did a VoG run where every single person received Shards / Energy, and only one person received a gun and it was Atheon's Epilogue not even a useful exotic, I foresee a situation where people are stuck at level 29 because they aren't getting the raid pieces of gear they need but instead getting shards and energies, which are used to...upgrade the actual pieces of gear they need.

One of the best guns in the game isn't useful? wat
 
I think Materials being reclassed to Legendary means that Legendary Gear and Weapons will still decrypt from engrams rarely but instead of getting lower quality gear, you'll get materials.

I.E. the decrypt percentages will be similar but you'll be getting Shards, Engery, Motes, and Coins rather than Blues when it decrypts to non-gear.
