Do you need to play the crucifix to get purple items? Because I never play it and I've never seen a purple item yet I'm nearly level 22.
What's uppppp?
So I made this quick video to show you guys where I farm and how I FINALLY got some PURPLE STUFF!!!
Some of you probably know about this already but for those who don't try it out and let me know if you've had any success.
Also please be patient. Of course you can get lucky and get a purple or multiple ones in 20-30 minutes or so but it does take time to grind this out but it is very rewarding because not only do you get abunch of green/blue + chance of purple engrams.
But also you get so many that you can level up the cryptarch multiple times after maybe a 2-3 hour run depending.

Does this still work?
It's "The Dark Beyond" on the moon.
If you want to attempt this please watch the whole video I explain how you can replay the mission even after "failing" quick without having to do the WHOLE mission all over again...with my method it starts you back at the gate and you only have to watch the cutscene again!
Probably my favorite of all of the story missions. One of the Mars strikes is similar. Both of those feel like a real assault against their respective enemy types to cripple them by taking out a leader. They're extra satisfying.

I'm actually doing that now. I'm waiting either until a patch or until confirmation they aren't doing shit.

I just bought a legendary chest piece from Crucible Handler using marks. Fuck you RNGesus, I don't need you anymore.
This really surprised me. I thought I'd get something extra special for doing the weekly strike, I got shit.
The game after 20 has been significantly less enjoyable for me than it was beforehand. Getting to 24 was kind of a pain, since a lot of the blue drops I got were duplicate armor slots or weapons, but it took about two days of solid playing to reach 24. I've barely reached 25 since then, thanks to the single legendary item I bought from faction reputation. I'll be able to get one more legendary today from Vanguard reputation, which hopefully will be enough to push me to 26 after some upgrades.
The raid is the thing I was most excited to try out in this game, but it seems unlikely now that I'll get to do it when it opens thanks to the terrible drop rates of legendary items. I have over 45 hours played, spent several hours every day playing crucible, ran dozens of strikes at 24, with not a single legendary drop to show for it. My Cryptarch is almost rank 9, I've given him probably 20 legendary engrams by now, again without a single legendary item received from them.
Meanwhile people with 1/5 the number of kills in a strike or the bottom of the PVP scoreboard get legendary items left and right it seems. I'm going to keep playing until the raid opens in the hope that my luck will change and I'll get a drop that gets me to 26 if the second reputation item doesn't. But if the raid opens and I'm still stuck at 25, I might be done with the game until they do something about the drop rates. Since I can't even earn marks anymore this week, it's just not worth my time to play with nothing to show for it.
I feel your pain dude. The frustration is starting to set in a bit. I'm stuck at level 24. I have 28 hours played and I literally have not even seen a legendary engram drop. Not a single one. And it seems the only way to luck out and get exotics is through the crucible. I'm 100% convinced there is 0.00% chance of getting anything legendary or exotic through strikes.

"Beneath Venus, evil stirs.
The Director is light on details for the Raid in Destiny. This is by design. The most elaborate mission ever created by Bungie is a mystery as much as it is a challenge a puzzle and a gauntlet. The race to see who can be first to solve it - with their cunning and their skill - is about to begin.
At 2:00 AM Pacific on Tuesday, September 26th, the Raid will accept challengers in Destiny. Thats 9:00 AM GMT.
Become Legend.
Not everyone will qualify. Among those who do, not everyone will succeed. To even approach this trial of teamwork and combat, the Guardians in your Fireteam will need to be Level 26.
Gear up. Team up.
Bring with you a team that has made the commitment to work together. Configure your loadouts so that you are powerful together in a variety of ways. Communicate with each other. The Raid will demand that you operate as a team. Cooperation is the key to your success.
Follow the Leader.
Its very likely that you will not finish the Raid in one sitting. Your Fireteam leader is crucial to your eventual potential success. Your progress will be saved for one week. To resume your mission where you left off, youll need to follow the same Fireteam leader back into battle.
Enjoy the View.
There are those among you who are certain that they will be first. They have accepted our dare with a pledge to broadcast their first attempt. If youre not yet prepared to undertake this rite of passage, youre welcome to watch as they venture into the hostile unknown."
Depending on how tomorrow goes i'll either keep destiny on the shelf for future updates or get £35 for it in a trade shop in my town before the prices drop, had enough personally.
What is the purpose of doing higher level strikes? Is the loot better?
Lmao. The one time I do badly in a game, the top two players get the loot.
Where did I say he was my friend???

I did it on the moon strike. The easiest and shortest one in my opinion.

OK, I've tried this methods but the Hive have stopped spawning so I barely got any Engrams. What did I do wrong?

It's good mate
Anyone playing this on Vita? How's it play with R2/L2?

Great, too bad I won't be able to do it because I'm not one of the lucky people who have received legendary items from random drops or engrams. Nice to be stuck at 25 because of the terrible loot system. I don't even think a second piece from a vendor will be enough to reach 26. Fantastic.
