Much better than being saddled with a rare/blue item.

I don't even mind getting materials from the cryptarch honestly, they're so rare that it's almost a blessing. Then again I have 2 legendary pieces so that probably has something to do with it.
 
I swear if Xur appears this weekend and wants something other than strange coins I will flip.

Been working on strange coins for something exotic.

Found the post from earlier re: glimmer/cryptarch farming. Yes it works. Also, this video is much better than the one I linked. Has a detailed description of exactly what to do:

Have you done it after the update? I tried it again but the checkpoint no longer spawns enemies. I did do it on a higher difficulty than usual.

This Exotic Bounty requires me to first do Summoning Pits. Thank god it doesn't specifically say do it on heroic.

wait until you get to the final stage for that bounty..

if anyone else has the corrupted thorn bounty at the last step and would like to team up let me know. I'm at the very end of the strike and by myself now. can't seem to get Xyor to spawn.
 
Reposting (with some edits) so I can get some willing readers on this:

Here's the link to what I have so far of this here fanfic.

It's not finished yet, but there's enough there to make an inference as to where it's going and get some impressions on the characters.

The only questions I'd have for you are:

1) How's the atmosphere, flow, and progression feel?

3) What are your impressions of the characters and their interactions with each other?

I need all the help I can get so I can edit this properly and know exactly what direction I'm headed in from a reader's perspective.

I got vanguard rank 2 first then went to fwc 2.

Someone here said it might be better to get to Vanguard Rank 2 so you can better things then start the Faction and rank that up.

I'm probably going to do that...remove the FWC cloak and grind for a higher Vanguard rank. Then back to FWC.
Click to expand...

Alright, will do! Possibly silly question, best way to rank up to Vanguard 2? I've been doing the earth spin metal deal.
 
My god, grinding vanguard rep from patrols is so horrible lol. Sad that it's way faster to rack up rep than playing strikes. Doesn't make much sense that I get the same amount of rep from a target patrol mission that I can do in 5 minutes than I would for a lvl 24 strike that can take upwards of 40 minutes. Oh well, back to the grind, almost at lvl 2. Need this before tomorrow so I can grind out the remaining marks for vanguard and crucible, then I'll have all legendary gear for the raid.

Can you do the Nexus farm solo?
Click to expand...

As far as I can tell there's no way to actually select the higher level version of the strike without using the strike playlist, unless I missed something.

Or unless it doesn't matter what level you farm at? I'm assuming drops are better at higher levels.

You can do the regular Strike mission, as enemy levels do not seem to factor into engram drops.

I got a Legendary engram last night while doing the Nexus farming and the Goblins were low level.

That works a bit. High level strikes give a good amount of rep. I still think the best way is by doing patrol and doig the side missions. You get about 10-25 per missions and they are very fast. Bounties help as well and are easy

How did you get it so fast? Seems like it's taking forever.

Side missions mostly during patrols and high level strikes. I have also did the weekly nightfall strike so I get a bonus in exp gained.

It's been patched...and strikes always use MM or fireteams so I don't think so.
Click to expand...



bounty and grind. I'm at 2.5 for New Monarchy and soon to hit 2 for Vanguard.

Farm patrol missions for vanguard. Specifically the target missions, you get 25 rep for those and they take like 5 minutes if that.
 
Maxed my vanguard marks, got 50 crucible. Will probably play a few more matches later before bed, but I'm not overly fussed about maxing them before the reset.

Shame the only thing the "patched" with the update was a useful farm route that wouldn't even be necessary if the engram thing wasn't fucked to begin with.
Shame they didn't patch the fucking legendary engram = useless thing.


What a surprise that my two reward engrams for levelling Rahool up 1) turned into blue engrams when I collected them and 2) turned into useless blue and green gear when I decrypted them. Bungle pls, I'm just shy of level 24 and about to hit a wall, let me get some damn legendaries from my purple engrams!


Uthred said:
So the exclusive gear is a random drop or mission reward for Dust Palace?
Click to expand...

I'm curious about this. I've done Dust Palace plenty of times on the tiger playlist and not seen a damn thing.



On another note, I don't see why letting us do matchmaking in nightfall strikes is such a problem. You can matchmake in the playlist on high difficulties, and almost every time I've done so we've kicked ass hard.
Just fix it Bungle.
 
Props to everyday math for letting us know that Shingen-E was on sale last night, that gun is the bomb.

Just got two legendary engrams which were decoded and actually gave me a legendary helmet and a legendary heavy weapon. Thank you based cryptarch.

Yep these payouts need adjustments. No idea what they were thinking. I'd double or tripple the strike payouts to be equivalent.

No, it's 23 motes of light for a random exotic chest engram.

But this could happen to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=112UVdhQ3_I

Yeah, it kinda sucks now, but just throw that sucker into the vault and use it when you eventually roll a Titan.

This shit still bothers me though.

LOL...Ouch. Bad enough that it happens with Legendary, but this...

I guess I didn't look his stuff over well enough. I only had half of the strange coin needed for the cheapest item, so I just walked away.

Just checked, I didn't have enough Mote of Light anyway.

wow. id be so freakin mad if that happened to me, id take a couple months hiatus after that

Why do they make several references to a Christian Christ/God? Seems like the Traveller is all most post-collapse people know about.

Also, don't type out accents like that ("Ah don't care," etc). It makes characters seem like novelties.

yup, exactly. The level 24 strike should give you at least 75 Rep and 15 Marks. No clue where they calculated the rep values between strikes and patrols.
