Thank you RNGesus for the blessings you have bestowed upon our brother Jinjo that he may spread the good word to all. His faith has been rewarded!

I shall direct my prayers at the shrine of RNG to all you blues-only out there. My thoughts and prayers are with you now. I have ascended to the realm of our RNGod.

My guess is that Xur will have all new gear from last week, and that each class's armor piece will be a different part of the body. This will probably continue until he eventually starts to offer past items again. Total speculation.

I missed out on the Titan gauntlet's by half an hour last time. So I went ahead and bought legendary gauntlets from the Titan Vanguard. I expect Xur's next Titan gear to be either a helm, chest or boots.

Same thing happened to me, I had enough strange coins for the gauntlets by 10am but he was gone. I'll buy a set of legendary gauntlets then, that should push me to 26. I have a legendary chest plate for another class in my vault, I'll dismantle that and hopefully acquire ascendant shards to level them up or maybe my boots. With my coins, motes, and accruing vanguard marks, I'm really hoping to beef up to 28 by the weekend, especially with Xur's wares. I wanted to buy a Legendary Engram from him but it seems like such a gamble since you may get something for another class.

Just picked up the game and a Gold Headset. Won't be able to play until tomorrow night probably.

Now I need to decide if I really want to play this game or if I should just return them.

You shouldn't be farming at level 20 or 21. Do the level 20 strikes until you have full blue gear if you don't have it already, make sure to upgrade all your gear as that gives you extra light. Repeat with level 22 strikes, and then level 24. It took me around 3-4 hours to go from level 21 to level 24, and it was by simply replacing level 16 blues with 18 ones, and then finally level 20 ones. Then I turned it bounties to upgrade them quickly, and wala.

great advice, thank you, I started farming last night and I'm lvl21. ok at first but got nothing good. I didnt even know you couold change strike difficulty until I saw a youtube vid... crazy.

okay...impulse buy much?

If you decide to keep them make sure you download the headset companion app and upload the Destiny profile to your headphones.
 
Granted I've only completed one strike (since THREE times in a row, both teammates ditched halfway through), but I didn't get shit for it. 2 greens I think. But I'll try again.

Just make sure you do the level 20 one or a higher level. I never even tried the 18s. Most of the strikes are imminently soloable, they just may take longer, generally at least one more person will pop into your fireteam before the end.

I'm also under the impression that the numbers of adds that spawn change dynamically to reflect how many Guardians are in your fireteam. I've never had to solo a strike boss by itself, but going through the map before the boss alone I feel like I'm never as overwhelmed as I should be given how many enemies spawn in the same location with a full fireteam.
 
I've been doing some sweet Sparrow tricks in midair and landing them on Old Russia lol. Only wish youtube uploading was a thing I don't need to share this with my youtube fuck that shit. Guess I'll leave my guy sitting for now. IMHO the fastest way at the end of the day to make enough marks is raids if you really don't feel like farming rocket yard.
 
So I've completed my Exotic bounty by doing the Weekly Heroic Strike... and now it wants me to do 25 fucking Strikes???

Talk about grinding...

Edit: What's the shortest Strike in the game?

We need just one more person for weekly heroic strike (level 26) on PS4. We're 2 level 25's so higher than that would be helpful!

How the fuck do you take down the enemies in the Events who have to get through multiple checkpoints and you have to stop them.

Its a Level 18 enemy and nothing takes its health down.

once you've knocked his shield off with the right elemental weapon, you just have to whittle away at his health bar little by little. you wont get anywhere with his shield up though, and they start recharging if you don't continue firing for a few seconds.
