I don't understand how light works. I hit 20 just before and got 2 items with light on them. One is +2 and one is +5. It says I have 20 light. I equip both items, still says I have 20 light. How the hell to I level up with this? Why is it still on 20 as well?

upgrade them and get more I just hit lvl21 last night and half way to 22. so much to upgrade. I still have a fucking green helmet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg wtf fuckin fuck fucker shit!!!!

 

[Blue Ninja]

I get a chest piece with Light and it's 100 defense points lower than the one I have equipped now.

 

[death4romabove22]

For the morning crowd, I need about a billion spin metal now and I'm good to go.

I also grinded my exotic bounty, 25 strikes, only to find out the next part required Xur, lol.

:-(

I must ask what is your cryptarch level ?? Please share

 

[BajiBoxer]

First person view aside(hate that mode), how is the campaign solo play? Going to get a PS4 for Christmas and might check it out. Just wish you could play in 3rd person view.

I really like Destiny, but the campaign as a single player campaign is pretty awful if you want storytelling and interesting boss encounters. I play it entirely because I like the gunplay and visuals.

 

[hydruxo]

Any streamers beaten the raid yet? This thing is insane

 

[sora87]

I'm getting so bored of seeing everyone in PvP getting exotics whilst I'm getting nothing, literally nothing, not even a green. Done so many strikes and every piece of gear I get isn't much better than the blue I already own. I think I'm just gonna call it quits.

 

[gatti-man]

Gothalion guys are about to throw in the towel and go get better gear.

Any other streams of people on the final boss?

This is what I thought. Lvl 26 being the minimum to enter meant to me that bungie is like sure a few can be 26 but you all should average to 28 or higher.

I'm already collecting a variety of snipe weapons with the different elemental damages for the raid.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Got my first legendary from a blue engram!

Spoiler

It was for a different class.

 

[jay23]

What exactly can I use all that Spin Metal for?

You need it to upgrade rare gear. I think it can be traded for marks also.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

So I was reading this faction guide on reddit. (helps explain alot) as I am nearing level 20. The part that seems to bother me is that 4 out of the 5 faction require Crucible Marks opposed to Vanguard marks. That is terrible. I don't like PvP, and would like to try some optional factions by playing PvE. Is the only possible way of earning Crucible marks in PvE by exchanging materials to the Crucible Quartermaster?

What the fuck? Why would it not at least be 2 of 5 factions use Vanguard marks? Or better yet, have the optional factions accept both Crucible and Vanguard marks!

Lol, totally forgot about this stuff until I read your post.

I made a thread just for raid fireteam requests in the Gaming-Community section.

5 Legendary Engrams....

4 Rares and an Uncommon. :-(

 

[puffyshirt]

Is there a link to a current Raid stream? I wanna see this bullshit.

 

[Pierate]

Do the faction quartermasters change their stock? There didn't seem to be a restock timer on them like most other npcs.

Unless there is a team full of level 30s it not gonna happen.

Exotic bounties? What are those???

Bounty quests that lead to an exotic reward.

It's pretty obvious now it's just a player primer for the rest of the game really.

 

[Hawkian]

Rolled my Vanguard Rank to 2 and got myself an Exotic Weapon Bounty!

Going after Pocket Infinity.

It is not enough to kill the enemy. The act of violence must become self-sustaining.

Upgrades

Pocket Infinity: "Fires in full auto mode and has a chance to return rounds that miss to the magazine."

IT WILL BE MINE!

Each light level requires around +10 light from your armor to upgrade. So your light level combined from all armor has to be:

• 10 to hit level 21
• 20 to hit level 22
• 30 to hit level 23
• etc...

Anyone wanna try the Weekly Heroic Strike with me? I'm Level 25, but would like to take it on the Level 26 difficulty. PSN ID: LSB123 (PS4)

Jesus. I was watching a group of 27s this morning and they were working together well but still getting demolished.

[Tawpgun]

Who has the best weapons, Vangaurd/Crucible or Factions?

I think they're all pretty similar like most of the weapons. You should look at them all. It will really only matter in Iron Banner. In Crucible weapons like the Shingen still own

Yes!
Edit added you

 

[Afrocious]

Huh.

So the raid is piss hard? Why? This might be good news, provided we get everything else PvE-related fixed.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Cool - thanks very much.

except that is wrong, it doesn't effect marks, just rep.

 

[Messiek]

Bounty quests that lead to an exotic reward.

Ok, but how do I get them? I'm 25 almost 26.
Thx : )

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Jesus. I was watching a group of 27s this morning and they were working together well but still getting demolished.

Seriously? I was banking on my level 26 being a useful asset. Oh well still looking forward to giving it a shot later.

 

[Darklord]

Ah ok thanks. And what about factions? I'm not even sure how to join one or get rep aside from Vanguard. Is it worth joining one?

 

[Ramirez]

8, I think.

 

[N° 2048]

edit: nvm misunderstood!

 

[scarletham]

Oh? So you'll get crucible marks + FWC rep?

 

[Cudder]

I got to level 20 last night.

So to level up even more I just have to do strikes/raids and hope to get equipment with Light in it? Or something?

 

[DJ Lushious]

I've heard that you have a random chance of receiving an exotic bounty as you perform various other bounties throughout the day/week.This is simply hearsay, though.

 

[Pop]

Wow. In order beat to the raid you might have to lv 30.

Remember, legendary/exotic drops in the raid has an upgrade that does extra damage to oracles in the raid.

 

[Heroman]

Dude, one team couldnt even beat the 2nd boss with a team lv. of 27 and 26

 

[jay23]

I know it's been posted here a bunch, but fast thread moves fast. Would someone mind linking the rocket yard loop for me, please? I need a ton of spinmetal (as well as other mats) to upgrade my exotic armor, as well.

I used the first one (beta loop), but got a bunch of spin metal from the chest.

[CouchMaster]

Looks like I'll be buying most of my legendary gear from Crucible handler, chest, legs and arms, before hitting the weekly cap again. I've just lost faith in the loot system completely.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

I completed all the bounties on the list then got an exotic bounty. Haven't tried it again yet but it may be a sure fire way.

 

[blue_phazon]

I think I have a problem. Last night I dreamt of farming for engrams

 

[IAmRandom31]

Ah ok thanks. And what about factions? I'm not even sure how to join one or get rep aside from Vanguard. Is it worth joining one?

Jebus.

I think future OT's need to lay out some information. Every new thread page has people asking about how to " join " a faction or asking about details on how to gain faction rep and marks.

You just buy the class item from the faction for 2500 glimmer. Then wear that item, and from now on any Vanguard / Crucible rep or marks you would of earned will go toward the Faction.

 

[Brazil]

Got my first Legendary Engram.

Obviously, it was a Rare.

 

[Tawpgun]

Yeah, I'm thinking the raid will require a higher level to complete. The fact that theres a heroic raid is also insane lol.

26 can get you in to try it and get a feel for it. Training, if you will.

But completing it might be best for like 28+

 

[Uthred]

Fuck sake, two days farming, got my first epic engram, decoded it, it turned into a rare (even worse a rare Warlock cosmetic that I already fucking had). Dem feels. Destiny really needs to change that.

 

[VE3TRO]

I hate Bastion, Mars more than Snowbound from Halo 3.

My blade strike takes about 1 second to reload. It's amazing.

[death4romabove22]

8, I think.

Loks like you bought most of your gear through the handler is leveling up to 3 faster than farming the cryptarch ?
