Doesn't seem like the most efficient

Just play through the campaign, quests, weekly, daily, challenges and content naturally and see where you end up

Well, I completed the story missions. Light level 209. I feel like that is kind of low... wearing nothing but blue gear except for a level 40 side arm.

Most people are completing the story and quests and ending up between 220-230 light level.

You will need legendary marks not only to buy items, but infuse others.

I don't understand why you keep defending the changes to the mark economy. They drastically reduced the amount you can hold and earn. How is that better?

I'm on the second mission on the Dreadnought. The one where you

infiltrate the Cabal ship.

Anyone want to run a couple of missions together?

 

[Subtervotion]

Just found my first fragment.

Spoiler

Near the beginning l, after you jump over the first gap with the disappearing platforms. Look right after you cross over and there is a small platform to jump to.

 

[SlenderBeans]

Crap, I found like 8 Calcified Fragments before even going to Eris.

Now I have to find more...

 

[LkPr]

Grats^^^

Primary weapons to primary weapons.
Infusing a Handcannon into a AR if I wanted too.

I could have sworn on stream they just infused a blue sidearm with a legendary assault rifle.

I'll join arekkusu77

Welcome! EST evening is cool?

 

[DrROBschiz]

Doesn't look like "the same" attack/defense will work, and same slot but NOT the same type. Primary, Secondary, and Heavy for weapons, each armor slot, ghost, artifact, class item.

That's confusing and possibly contradictory, lol. I'm asking- how do you bring an item to max light if you must always use an item with higher light to infuse it, but it doesn't actually reach the higher light level as a result (i.e. 200+210=208)? Maybe if you get within a certain range of a few light points it does max it out...

I imagine we won't know for a bit.

goddamnit goddamn you

No it isnt

In the stream they said its meant for people that want specific pieces of gear they like (in lower light tiers) to be usable throughout the game

So if you find a 240 light gun that you really love the perks and stats on... you can infuse it to keep it relevant

 

[GlamFM]

Never got the Suros pre-order guns, only shader and emblem. Am I screwed?

 

[blue_phazon]

I just got legendary marks from a crucible match!!

We won by mercy so maybe that was it?

Edit: it was 15 marks so that's a good amount too

 

[gutterboy44]

Never got the Suros pre-order guns, only shader and emblem. Am I crewed?

The guns are available for purchase at the vanguard quarter master. No worries, they are garbage any way.

 

[rNilla]

I think the R2 on my DS4 is broken again and I just bought this damn thing.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

AWWW SHIT. My first EXOTIC is the FUCKING TELESTO!

Very cool! Please report back with your thoughts on it after you check it out.

 

[deoee]

I like this addon so far!
So weird wearing green stuff on my endgame char

It promotes playing through the content and seeing how the new loot system affects you?

Not to mention there are quests that are awarding guaranteed gear

Also streak bonuses on playlists etc..?

This isn't like previous expansions where they wanted everyone to quickly and instantly be the same light level

They want people to progress on the curve they designed

 

[SlenderBeans]

Tips for finding chests on Dreadnaught? I keep only finding the key chests.

Hey Arek, Tigerheli here. I thought the rest of our VoG raid group quit!

Guaranteed gear that turns from legendary engram into blue item

 

[GlamFM]

Some questions:

-Should I go for 280 vendor gear in preparation for the Raid?

-Are strike playlists and Crucible the only way to get marks?

-Should my old marks have been converted to the new kind?

-Where do I get my first sword?

Thanks

Light 238.

I did one and I didn't get any

so, an exotic weapon quest basically

i'll get the reward free on september 15, 2016 i guess

 

[R0ckman]

Welcome! EST evening is cool?

Yeah, specifically why I jumped on it lol, dont have to worry about taking off work.

 

[Messiek]

Anyone wanna try the scent chest with me?

 

[Goodacre0081]

anyone want to do the Taken Assault: Earth quest? seems like you need a fireteam for the next step.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Thanks for the info.

Questions remaining for me:

• Do target and sacrifice have to be the same type? Helm/helm and sniper/sniper? Or just armor/armor and weapon/weapon? Or can you in fact infuse an armor piece into a weapon?
• Class restrictions- sacrifice Hunter armor to Warlock armor? Class items?
• If the item you're sacrificing to infuse always has to be higher light, doesn't this (via Xeno's paradox) imply that you can NEVER reach max light by infusion?

So much to learn!

The Planet Destiny video does a good job hitting these points.

I think you can reach max light via infusion. Example, take a 345 light (making this up) primary, infuse a 350 primary into it, and you can get it to 350. It would be self-defeating to have a system to level up gear of your choosing, but not let it reach peak potency.

Telesto is the Needler.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Infusion. How much does it give when you infuse? There's no information when I attempt to infuse something. Anyone tried this yet?

Did you purchase the cloak or find it out in the wild?

 

[Trickster]

I think all of those guys have been playing since 5 AM so probably just farming chests on the Dreadnaught. That's just my assumption though.

I've been playing since it went live as well ( 11 am my time ). And while I haven't been hardcore farming chests or anything, I have been doing a bit of sightseeing in the dreadnaught, found several things that require keys I dont have to use. But only found a single chest I could just open, which is where I got the flake I have, out of like 15 or 20 that you need.

 

[140.85]

Shit. I didn't even think to find out what the Light level requirement is for the raid Friday.

What is it, anyway?

 

[BMO = GOAT]

What quest do i need to complete to get a sword?

 

[Shito]

Did you purchase the cloak or find it out in the wild?

Got the same one from a vanguard package.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Can you just straight up buy a Year 1 exotic from the Blueprint vendor.

I got the answer to the first two, which is good (it's about halfway between the most and least restrictive method they could have chosen).

About light though, if your numbers are real, that answers my question, but every example I've seen so far is along the lines of 200 + 210 = 208, i.e. not reaching the higher light level. Do you know if the video addresses this?

How so?

We knew it would be. I fucking hate you btw =P

Edit: top of the page hatred.

 

[ocean]

It happened. It finally happened. In an entire year I never got a single Faction shader. Today I got Bittersteel.

And Hanged Man.

And Revenant.

Along with Dead Orbit Scout, Sniper, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Gauntlets, Chest Piece, Leg Armor and Class Item.

I'm the DO PR guy right now basically.

What are folks' thoughts on TTK so far?

I'm stuck at work until 5
