Any one of them no matter which one? I hate doing the stand around and wait for wolves prowling bounties.

Funny you should say that...

Drop rate is much higher for those chests now at least, which means doing the 28 PoE is a viable alternative to farming.

I'd be down! Never done any of the Raids before and don't have DLC, so Vault of Glass is all I could do.

The alt rep bonus is great with IB. Hit rank 2.5 in just a few games (I think iron wrath alone gave me 600 rep?) and 1 round of bounties and I don't even have the class item bonus yet.

Is it per character, or account?

Per account AFAIK. I don't know whether Bungie intended that or not.

I was fortunate this week--got one for turning in the first one, then on another character, I got one from the package when I ranked up on Queen's rep.

That sounds great. I'm about to hit rank 5 on titan and begin with my hunter xD

Dayam IB lag is awful

I really should have saved a video of THE ENTIRE ENEMY TEAM teleporting into the sky, and falling to the ground, constantly.

Sometimes this game just makes you want to throw the controller, system, and TV out the window.

What rank did your main get too?

I really want to get the class items for my other characters but just couldn't find the time.

My hunter is half way to 5 but with a while left till the end of the event I figure I'll try to get my other 2 to rank 3 at least for the EL. The catchup bonus is super nice though and has me considering rank 5 on all characters.

Rank 4. I believe all you need is a character higher than rank 1 and you'll get the double XP till you catch up.

So hunter at rank 4 my Titan and warlock should have double exp all the way from rank 1 to 4 afaik.

Yep. Doesn't matter which one. The first one you turn in after reset should get you a Treasure Key.

Oh ok it must be per account and not per toon because I only got one on my first toon this week. I am queen Rank 3 on each toon and I might be done going all out with the queens bounties.

Funny you should say that...

Yeah I was thinking about that supposed "higher drop rate" recently since I did all the queens bounties three time this week and I got no keys from the chests in patrol.

Congrats. I've been wanting a 3rd. Tired of transferring.

I've been thinking about dismantling #4 and #5 recently.

Kyne/shadyderp, I actually miscounted and had one more (a lurker) than I thought ;_; Does one of you still want the spot? Sorry about that!

Good to know. Should be able to push through quickly this weekend with the high tempering buff.

I've done all the bounties for Petra for all three characters since HoW dropped, and farmed at least the same amount again just for the fun(?) of it. Before they increased the drop rate, I received zero keys from ether chests. After the increase, I have received zero keys from ether chests. I think y'all are trolling me. You can't actually get keys from ether chests.

I think they did increase the drop rate from the small POE chests in the Treasure Room though. On 3 32+ POE runs last night, I got 2 treasure keys. Whereas I got none from many more clears the first two weeks.
 
So are there any good tricks for getting weapon parts? Hate to spend all my glimmer on cheap weapons when all you get is a single weapon part out of it. Seems like I used to be swimming in them, but not so much anymore.
Get 6 wins in ToO. Buy as many of the legendary weapon he has on sale as you can. It's 500 glimmer and breaks down to two weapon parts minimum. Can also "fatten" them up with bounties and I'm sure it'll give an extra part or two. Still not perfect but at least it's a steady amount.

Either way you're grinding shit tho, either glimmer or engrams.

but you don't get QW rep when doing 28 PoE, you do get a little rep from opening the chest, though (only like 15, i think, 18 with NF bonus)

Skolas down second time today. This time with a titan, warlock, and hunter. Total PoE took about 1 hour 15 minutes. Used two 365 Praedyths, one 365 Spear with Final Round, and 3 Truths. Took two laps around the arena got it done again. Break the bonds, do the first mines, run around, trigger the second mines, run around, finish him off. Another Elder Cipher!

Save it for when they open up trading, you can give it to me!


Alright. I might give one to predator first though lol.

The ether keys do give out keys about once a month.

Yeah I got one from a PoE run this week too. Previous weeks I got none too lol.
