Another question:
How do I get the bonus vanguard weapons? I redeemed the code but not had anything in the mail.
How do you get the bonus Red Bull mission? Do you not get it for every code? I got a thingie for extra exp but the website made it seem like you also get the special mission too?

I'm watching streams but it reminds me a lot of the vault of glass more then the dark below.

Working on my Sword Quest 2.0
My first real complaint about the game though.
This quest is the grindiest of things.
First I had to farm Spinmetal. Actual Spinmetal, I couldn't loot the chests because I was actually looking for a rare item that has a 10% chance to drop from a spinmetal leaf. I needed 10 of them. Took close to 2 hours of just farming. After the first hour I went and bought a Ghost that had Spinmetal detection to speed things along.
At the same time, I'm supposed to get Arc ability kills, but it's not a hard number, just a %. Well, this thing climbs crazy slow. A single PvP game would bump me up 2-4%. I tried doing the Undying Mind strike and it only moved me up 6%. Now I'm grinding "We've woken the Hive" and getting about 4% per cycle, which isn't bad, but it's still going to take about 90 minutes.
The Arc thing isn't so bad, I could just slowly make progress towards that as I just play the game, no big deal. The spinmetal thing though? I have hordes of it in my bank and have no interest in farming more. On top of that, Bungie has clearly changes their materials spawning system because it was nothing like how it used to be. Basically a zone would spawn about 7 materials, and after looting one, it takes about 4 minutes before it respawns.

You should get the special mission along with the first code you put in.
The vanguard weapons are sold by the vanguard quartermaster. Its the same like when vanilla destiny was released.
Oh damn. Isn't the max right now around 280 without raid gear?
Ah of course. Thanks!
The Vanguard weapons are at the Vanguard quartermaster in the hangar area of the tower, the robot dude. They are the weapons listed under "Vanguard Armory." They are just relatively low level greens, useless unless you are a brand new player starting fresh at Taken King content that just wants some gear right away. There's frankly no reason to use them. Any drops/mission rewards you get will immediately be better.

If I use a Stolen Rune but fail to kill the boss, do I get the rune back or is it lost?

When did it start? Wasn't Vault of Glass beaten in like 3 hours?
Also, terrible context for a spoiler. Please note that you are spoiling raid information in the future.
You get it back.
Because it wasn't really a spoiler... If it was it would have better context. Also VoG took ~11 hours
Edit: it started 2hrs 51 minutes from this edit.
My haul from Xur today:
2 helmet engrams decrypted into Y2 version of Light Beyond Nemesis (which is good because I have a Warlock alt) and Empyrean Bellicose for my Titan, which I love.
Then I stacked 5 3 of Coins and went and killed Draksis. He dropped a primary exotic engram which decrypted into Jade Rabbit!
Jade Rabbit is very powerful but in all honesty I like the sound and handling on my Hung Jury SR4 scout rifle better. =/ Still, I am sure I will get used to it and it certainly brings the business.

That's the dreadnought at the beachhead (place you start at) and enemies do rapidly spawn there but they're spread out, the one I'm talking about is on Mars at the barrens.
Every once in awhile Vex and Cabal will fight and they keep spawning until they stop. The Vex spawn out of a cave continuously until both sides back off, giving loot cave flashbacks. Good place to stack up on Engrams and you'll also likely get a few of the item you can turn into the gunsmith for 200 rep each. Taken corruption also happens there as well so there's something else to do other than wait for the Vex and Cabal to start fighting.

Hmm... I wonder how much of that was the Gorgon Maze.
That stuff happens rarely in pretty much every zone where two factions are fighting each other. You'll see a notification on the UI saying something like "The enemy is moving against each other," and they'll start spawning and fighting like crazy, with majors and stuff joining in, for like 5 minutes straight.

Thing with the VoG is that everyone was new to destiny, loot and setups was up in the air and no one had the destiny mindset when it came to the puzzles as everything was super fresh.
It's not going to be 12+ hours again until destiny 2 comes with a brand new toolset IMO, like ship battles or something.
You can go back to initial threads. Mostly seemed like Templar and atheon problems
How do you keep the checkpoint? Go to orbit right after killing the boss?
Yeah I was thinking about that while I was typing. I still expect that this will outpace crota though. There's probably a lot of surprises left.

It's nowhere near as challenging. I rolled through the Crota's Will strike last week before TTK dropped, unsure what difficulty but it took us a LONG time to drop Omnigul. When I played it post-TTK she was a complete breeze.

Welp done with the Three of Coins farming. Kinda disappointed since the only weapon I got was the Monte Carlo and I got 2 of them. Got every helm for my class other then the 2 I wanted, and a few other class items.

Thanks! Managed to beat it with 2 other random people near the guy; we had the Wizard and the Knight brothers. Got a Calcified Fragment, legendary artifact, and some blues.
Yeah but it's good there because after they stop fighting, you'll get a little lull period then the taken spawn, you get the lieutenants then the champion with all the yellows. Then a lull period then the vex and cabal start fighting again

What do I do with these motes of light?
You can use them to grant exp to all of your equipped gear
Or turn 5 of them in for reputation
I got 2 primary (Hawkmoon year 2, and an auto rifle that does arc damage and chains lightning), 4 special (another Telesto, two of the same terrible sniper rifle, and a year two Invective so I'll stick with my Telesto since it's Destiny's version of the Needler), and a ton of helms and chests. Most are items that carried over but a couple are new helms. My new titan helms are ugly as sin though.

So only a few missions into TTK and already I think this does story better than original Destiny. I never did any of the expansions until today and those were kinda shitty but here, there are cutscenes and the voice talent is actually put to work as actual characters which is a nice change.
I will never understand their rational behind this.

I'm still using my Matador in PvP until I find a proper replacement. I've also used my messenger on occasion.
Weapons and Armor normalize in PvP so level doesn't matter.
