Actually the answer to that is no. All Faction vendors require Crucible marks for currency, though you could Rank them up completely in PvP. You at the very least need to participate in between 20 and 30 Crucible matches to be able to afford a legendary piece from a faction vendor. This isn't a bad idea anyway though as that's a lot of XP and loot chances along the way.

Seems like bad luck, until you realize how valuable "junk" purples can be for ascendant shards.... break that ish down

The class items don't require crucible marks, just glimmer. And you have to be level 20.

hahaha we really still want the OT title to be about purples and blues?

I'm just a bit obsessed with the idea of Master Rahool as a character. Here is this guy who stands alone all day in the Tower talking to himself, who is the only person we've seen from the "order of cryptarchs" (does it even exist?) and who has most of the Guardians going crazy trying to find engrams which only he can decode - and then in return for them he gives the Guardians whatever crap he has lying around in the back of his stall. I'd rather have him accompany me than my ghost! It'd be brilliant, he could just mumble about secrets and keep asking me for house banners.

Even with all the average reviews this game received it's still always popping up in my social feeds. My friends are playing the shit out of this game and losing sleep over it. I may or may not be included in that group that is losing sleep. :/

Shader.

Achilles. I have it too, dropped in pvp.



Permanent items.

You can equip and unequip as you please. You should even be able to store them in the vault for other characters.

Thats awesome. I was hoping that was the case. How many shaders are there? i saw a website with previews of a lot of the shaders. Is there a number? do they keep releasing this kind of stuff through updates to the game?

maxed out my gun yesterday, it's incredible
;_; all my items for that in a heartbeat
Thanks for the fantastic guide, Hawkian. I tried doing some farming, but got bored as fuck really fast. Not my thing, so I'm just going to enjoy the game and hope the Traveler grants me luck on my quest for Legendary/Exotic items.
No problem! You'll get there. :) I'm 1- literally 1- Light point away from 26 without having popped a single Legendary engram so far. Will hit it tonight after work :)

Bungie is so going to patch that Skywatch farming spot. It's just a matter of time...


Probably. I was there last night for a bit actually, and something really strange happened. We were camping the cave, but all of the other enemies on the map (fallen by the chopper, etc) were aggro'd to us and mobbed us. We were getting attacked from all sides. It was pretty crazy. It was almost like there was a Defend the Warsat event going on, but there wasn't. So either something glitched or Bungie was messing with us...
 

Papercuts

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
bought the vanguard helmet last night

do 1 strike after and a purple engram drops, that ends up being the same helmet.

welp.

I thought for sure this shit was going to happen to me yesterday after buying a chest/boots and picking up 2 legendary chest engrams, but luckily(?) I just got terrible blue gear instead.

It's another event but without the objective, it's more of a survival wave.

I'm finding chests all over the place on the moon. It's kind of crazy. Oh and last night I got an exotic bounty. I handed in 3 vanguard bounties in a row and it popped after the third. Still not sure if handing in multiple bounties affects the drop chance, though.

I have completed bounty for exotic handcannon - Thorn.

I'm disappointed. Magazine size of 6, very long reload time, low stability and rate of fire.

This is a very terrible exotic : (

The Devil You Know legendary handcannon give me better feeling.

Ugh serious? Mine should be completed today.
 
Also, this may be the most satisfying gun I've ever used in a video game (sorry, Halo Battle Rifle):

I bought it DIGITALLY

Should've bought the expansions ahead of time man.

Ugh serious? Mine should be completed today.

It looks like it'll get a lot better after upgrades, seems like some of the legendaries/exotics are like that. It'll add a damage over time effect and stuff like that. But from the start I feel like the crazy ass 13 shot handcannon I have is better.

I'm using the Big Chief which I have come to love but I have still never come across one of these. I might wind up getting a legendary/exotic hand cannon before I see a Regulator... :p

Just had the most intense strike last night. Did the weekly, with two people, as level 24 and 25 against the level 26.

We almost wiped so many damn times. So fun.

Those shaders are use once and they are gone? or you can use them as you please once you get one of them?

You can swap them out, they don't go away. RNGesus has blessed me with 4 achilles shaders incase 3 of them get dirty.

Where is the best place too farm helium? Is it moon patrol?

Google archer's run helium filament framing route and it should get you to the video on you tube with the farming route.

Oooh, I just got one of those to drop last night but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I'm not much of a hand cannon guy, but I will definitely check it out now.

I do a little farming on the moon here and there, but might go to Skywatch because of hype.

I must be the only one who still has not reached level 20 after more than a week.

Work and lack of free time seriously does not work for this game.

Yes, I wish I could have no lifed this game. When TItanfall came out, I took a 2 week vacation. Should've done the same for Destiny.

Currently knocking out the Vanguard bounties, but I'm definitely going to try it out in PvP when I'm done. I hope it's as OP as it sounds!

I have the jealousy of a thousand suns.

why does pvp matchmaking take so long? that skill based matchmaking at work? running in to a lot of the same people

Are you Xbox? Unfortunately, population numbers might become a concern.
 
I wish we knew what xur was going to have before hand. I have my vanguard leveled up to where I can buy legendary gear, but I'm holding out to make sure xur doesn't have an exotic that's the same armor type.

Interesting. I've never seen that before, and there was no notice of an actual event going on.

On the bottom left of the screen it will pop up saying something like "The enemy are working against each other." Not actually sure what it says but its something along the lines of that.
 
skywatch cave farming still works as of an hour ago...maybe bungie is paying attention to people doing it because they started throwing wizards and knights out of the cave and the building next to the hill...was pretty fun

for me they definitely nailed that old feeling from halo where everything is dead, your health is flashing red, and you take a deep breath and nervously spin around to make sure you didn't miss anything while recharging, and on to the next fight.
 
Oh how I hate my luck. I spent a reasonable amount of time farming crucible marks for a cape I liked, then as soon as I have enough that same one drops from an engram. Should have stuck to farming vanguard rep.

Has anyone found ghost shells? I imagine you get them the same way as anything else, but I have yet to see one of any rarity level.
