The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
was it on the moon? I got that ship and a coin doing patrol on the moon last night

As random drops, I'm assuming? Or do patrol missions sometimes actually have loot rewards?

Exotic bounty complete! It was the "light in a dark" for the Thorn handcannon. Honestly I didn't think it was hard so if you are wanting the easiest exotic bounty when you have the option choose this one.

Has anyone cleared the Nightfall Strike at all? Sounds piss hard.

A couple friends and I did it both last week and this week. It's hard but well worth it. The rewards were great both times.
 
You only gain rep for a faction when you put on their bond. You don't lose marks or rep you already have. And you continue to gain Vanguard/Crucible marks regardless. The only thing the faction affects is rep, and only while wearing the bond.

Thank you for clarifying.

Lets do a little experiment.

Post your level, your grimoire score, and how many legendary items and/or engrams you've gotten.

I have a feeling the higher the grimoire the more legendary drops you get.

I'm 1355, Level 24 and I've only ever gotten ONE legendary engram. Haven't seen anything purple before or after

Ohhh so if I wear the cloak for New Monarchy, I will still gain Vanguard rep and marks for bounties, strikes and such?

True or false: You earn both Vanguard and Faction Rep while wearing a Faction bond?

I don't get all of these? I have the auto pulse rifle and it destroys anything and everything in its path, including the shottys which typically don't get in range or just get knifed when they do. Seriously only about 2/10 times do they actually succeed. I get the rest but the weapons eludes me, I'm running with a level 16 strangers rifle still and it's way better than my legendary shotty for PvP.
 
Nah. They're just useful items and a good investment of your constant glimmer supply.

I swear to you, no one has any idea what increasing the cryptarch rank does. Try to forget about it until we have more information.

everytime I leveled him up I got awesome shit in the mail. maybe thats the point

My Grimoire score is low, like 700 maybe. I'm level 22. Only purple I've gotten is a god damn useless class bond.
They are useless right?

Random drops in chests.
I was doing patrol missions on the moon but would check caves and buildings for chests as I did the missions for extra materials. Not any type of direct reward.

Lv24 grimoire 1425

2 legendary primaries. Auto and scout rifle.

Gotten like 5 or so purple engrams so far I think.

RE: cryptarch rank

I THINK it decodes stuff in the fields. I am level 4 cryptarch and greens are instantly converted to weapons now pretty much. Unless they are just weapon drops? IDK but it seem like I have only really gotten blues that need to be taken back to the tower now.

I feel like I've been playing the game wrong. I'm level 24 and it isn't till now that I started seriously doing all Vanguard and Crucible bounties in order to get enough marks and rep for their gear. I only just now bought a faction item. I have 130 or so Crucible marks so I think I'm doing ok there, but only like 40 Vanguard marks. I only just reached rank 1 on Vanguard too. What a waste. This is gonna take forever.

1215, level 22, zero legendaries or exotics. Im probably just gonna use my Vanguard marks to buy them if I dont stumble across one. No big deal. The Vanguard strikes are super fun anyway.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but the reason strikes don't seem to be dropping much gear is the advisories on Bnet are the way to open them up. I have one sitting there right now where I need to beat 5 more strikes (50 total) and then cloaks, marks and bonds will start dropping too. Perhaps once you hit 75 or 100 it makes legendary or exotic gear available as end of round drops too?

Grimoire is 1500. Level 25. I've only gotten 3 legendaries. One in the wild and two from leveling the cryptarch to 6 and 7. The one from the wild turned into a blue. The two from the cryptarch turned into legendary chest armor and a legendary MG. And both happened on back to back days. Yesterday and Monday.

1005. 23. One legendary Engram which became a legendary armor.

I feel like this is flawed though since higher of each of these numbers just means you played more, increasing your opportunity for legendaries.
