Anyone running Crota on XB1 today and have room for a newbie?

 

[Ethical Hedonism]

Was that thing about the raid resetting the loot drops daily real?

 

[Triple Oceans]

Truth

Ok thx.

 

[Victory Red]

I'm bout to go broke on Xur tonight. Sheesh.

 

[Ryck]

So is the helmet the hardest drop in the new raid as it was in the old raid? Trying decide between upgrading my sunbreakers or my light beyond nemesis.

one special ammo synth

lol

 

[Resseh]

Is it possible to cheese the nightfall raid yet?

 

[Kensuke]

Urzok only spawns at skywatch right? Ugh, he didn't spawn for me this time.

 

[captscience]

Xur questions: are the helmet engrams the 'new' higherlevel versions?

Yes. Rolled myself a nice new Obsidian helm. Just what I needed!

 

[firehawk12]

One thing I just realized is that Xur now gives you the chance to re-roll an exotic if he has one that has better stats. I guess that's better than buying a new one, assuming you didn't max out the old one.

Say what now?!

Aight. gonna splurge some motes then and hope it's a hunter helmet ;P

any tips for killing cursed thrall witih melee of all things?

throwing knife?

 

[Crimson_Gold]

At the last part of the lvl 30 urn quest if anyone wants to join.

PSN GODSFAVORITE

 

[Twilight Gap]

throwing knife?

if it works then it'll be easier than i thought

 

[raindoc]

any tips for killing cursed thrall witih melee of all things?

i did it in the "chamber of night" mission on the moon. there's a couple of cursed thralls in that mission that are pretty easy to single out. i'd recommend using a scout rifle, shoot them in the legs/soften them up (carefully), so your melee is a OHK. go to orbit if things get too hairy, return to the cp.

.


EDIT: AFAIK Throwing knife doesn't count.

 

[GraveRobberX]

So what I wrote a few pages back:

"Get past the Exclusion Zone.... /douchebag smirk"

First mission on Mars, pick heroic modifier, I think it's level 20, trigger the fail-safe, pop a RESUPPLY CODE, kill all the Grunts that come off Drop-ship (Legionaries + Phalanxes)
Second Drop-ship deploys 2 Phalanxes, a Solar Shielded Centurion with RL, 9 Gold Legionaries

Kill those 9, get killed or kill yourself, start back right at the fauk-safe spot, repeat ad nauseum
In 45 minutes or less you can hit 25K Glimmer cap, you will burn 4-5 resupply codes, but killing those Gold Legionaries refreshed those back up quickly and more!
Bring 2 friends along and make it go way quicker
Also they drop Network Passes, they Cryptarch is always keen to them, netting you an extra 250 glimmer per turn in

In under a hour you should be capped out, I'm about to start soon, got 5 item to repurchase and upgrade

Results for 50 minutes:
Started with 3,500 Glimmer, 20 Resupply Codes (Used 5 in total, 10:00 minutes each)

8 deaths per (cycles), till I had to use a new Resupply Code to continue farming:

So I ended up with 21.5K Glimmer and 18 Network Keys (250 Glimmer each) for an extra 4500 Glimmer Bonus, and netted myself an extra 13 Resupply Codes
Need to do it 2 more times after I buy upgrade items from Xur right now, once to get the rest, then last to save up when I'll have to slot in the bubbles

I don't know if it's been confirmed but its a safe bet as nobody's gotten it here yet unlike the rest of the raid set.

If you've got your eyes on 32 before Heroic CE, an Exotic helm is probably required. 32 will require so many Radiant Shards that it'll be a while before it's feasible getting there though.

I'm 1 mote short of another helm Engram

 

[E92 M3]

In a rush to upgrade my Ice Breaker before work, I traded in the wrong one accidentally. I didn't realize the one being held was the one being trade in unfortunately and missed two exotic shards.

 

[Twilight Gap]

cool thanks!

 

[GlamFM]

So what´s the payoff for the urn quest?

Anybody finished it yet?

 

[Byron Bluth]

I think I'm gonna destroy some of my exotic armor for my non existent hunter instead of buying exotic shards.

Yeah I had goidfang and symbionts so I shared them for exotic shards and bought them new.

Ditto Truth.

I also sharded all my extra exotics.

Just realized I bought 2 Truth. Shit!!! I would have had more coins left! I'll just use it I guess for another character. I actually have 118 coins left. Yay! Still a good buffer. Plus weeklies next week.

I also got 3 new helmets , one for each class with the exotic engrams. Lucked out didn't get duplicates or the ones already sold.

Got the new ObsidIan Mind helmet for my warlock.

Now every character has all the gear they need for 31!!!

 

[LiK]

Oh shit, Xur selling the bracers that I wanted. Gonna grab those tonight.

ok thanks for the info, still 23 motes of light for the exotic engram? It's back?!?

 

[LiK]

Spoiler

Uh, not random? It's always that type of gear? Maybe I should've bought a helm last night instead.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

I can help with one Nightfall but I would need to switch characters towards the end since my Warlock hasn't done it and it's lock for her.

Just join my chat party when you are ready.

 

[scarletham]

Everybody upgrading their IB?

 

[Nodnol]

Man these cursed Thralls are killing me. Literally! I'm too careless.

I know there's a lone that spawns on patrol on the Moon, but I have no idea how often it does.

 

[Ryck]

Spoiler

Exotic or legendary?


Nm exotic is 36

 

[Tawpgun]

The hunter gloves in teh urn quest seem kinda meh. Was expecting them to be somewhat unique but other than a Hive aesthetic its just like every other legendary gauntlet. Max 33 light. Two perks.

And the perks on the hunter are increased melee speed and increased scout rifle reload.

zzzzz

Man, kinda lame. I should've saved my marks for helm instead of gauntlets. Now I have to grind some more cuz I just bought gauntlets from Vanguard last night and got them halfway.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Where are you guys finding Urzok?

I went to Skywatch since that's what the bounty said.

 

[figadapaura]

Everybody upgrading their IB?

of course

 

[scarletham]

Do you guys think it's worth it to get an upgraded Symbiote helm? Or will there be better for Gunslinger hunters?

Best place to farm Acolytes?

There's no raid tonight with our crew right? Cuz Nami can't make it. Guess I'll just play Strikes and PVP for the marks.

:/ exact same perks as the Jackknife 2.1 I already have.

 

[Nodnol]

Anyone used ANOTHER NITC?

I just got one with a Vanguard package.

Rodeo, Third Eye and Explosive Rounds.

Jackpot?

 

[Ambitious]

Anyone down for Nightfall + Weekly?

 

[figadapaura]

Yeah, gonna be grinding these exotics.

 

[hEist]

Thrall tactic: try to get only one to you and kill him. If you think you will definitly die on next one, don't take the loot. Just leave it there and respawn. Do it until you got 5 items on the floor and you are done.

 

[LiK]

Yeah, gonna be grinding these exotics.

If I see you on tonight, I'll join you.

 

[Lalalandia]

Exotic upgrade paths require much less time and material

Can anyone who has 'Xur-ified' their exotics confirm if their is any difference in the levelling requirements or was the above just a sneaky way of saying 'no need for Asc. Energy any more'?

 

[Deku Tree]

Yeah I had goidfang and symbionts so I shared them for exotic shards and bought them new.

I'm buying three exotic helm engrams too ... 23 motes is cheap for an exotic shard.

[blackflag]

Does the weapon upgrade, really reset the weapons back to pre-perks?

Might write off upgrading stuff like Last Word, till the next Iron Banner looms or something.

Iron banner is next week.
