finally done after 3 wipes

this quest can suck a deacon

What exactly is it? Get the final blow on each bro with a shotgun? Do only shotgun damage? I swear this quest

Also, a 2 hour power nap might do you good before raiding man

 

[Frenden]

I like you. You're a thinking man.

Gorgons is brilliant, Deku!

Report back, everyone!

 

[gutter_trash]

what's the timer on 3s of Coins? how long does it last?

 

[Bradach]

SCOURGE OF WINTER

DRAKSIS

FASTER

Gate Lord requires to orbit in a hurry post kill then loading back. I have no idea why people are going there.

Darknis (boss at the end of Scourge of Winter), weaken him, then get up close and kill him/commit suicide with a rocket

Thanks. I'll give Darknis a go.

 

[Jinjo]

7 coins for a random exotic. They come in a bundle of 5

WAIT?! They come in a bundle of FIVE? I thought it was 1 for 7 coins. Oh god. Forget what I said before.

what's the timer on 3s of Coins? how long does it last?

Until you kill an Ultra. No timer.

 

[scarletham]

Wait why are people talking about Draksis so much

 

[stb]

What's the fastest way to get strange coins to buy 3oC with? I'm new here.

Playing literally any activity. They rain from the sky now. With about 25 hours of TTK play, I went from 39 coins to 196.

 

[Lee]

I doubt anyone is blowing enough Strange Coins to spend more than an hour on Darksis. Time isn't even the issue. Assuming 1/5 holds steady in aggregate, you're basically paying 35 Strange Coins for a random Exotic (pray you don't get dupes)

I don't know man. Also, 1/5 might not be accurate. Two engrams can drop from 1 3oC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK__A2UX440&feature=youtu.be

Also, this sample from Reddit leads me to believe the effect does stack, despite Bungie's description:

3 5 coin runs : 2 engrams.
10 3 coin runs: 3 engrams.
20 2 coin runs : 5 engrams.
63 1 coin runs : 12 engrams.

5 coins stacked = 66%
3 coins stacked = 33%
2 coins stacked = 25%
1 coin = 12.6%

Small sample size and self reported and all, but that seems pretty linear. I'm stuck at work for 9 hours and will no doubt miss out on this entirely, but it seems extremely broken and, were I home, I would do it until it gets patched.

 

[EroticSushi]

Is there suppose to do some kind of marker for when the buff is active?

 

[Afrocious]

Lol got a 290 Hawkmoon. Never did get this gun back in Year 1.

Oh well. I'm living in Year 1 prestige or something haha.

 

[nOoblet16]

What's the light requirement for antiquated rune summons?
Can I get the" Depose the court" quest done even if I don't have the rune and join someone who does?

If yes then would anyone be willing to help me?

 

[BraXzy]

The buff always says IX. It stands for the Nine (the guys noodle-face works for). The buff should go away the instant you kill an Ultra capable of dropping loot.

Shoot are you sure? I swear it was V before. It seemed like since I noticed I was getting more engram drops so maybe it works anyway.

Sorry about that folks, my science might be off

 

[Meneses]

Got a really bad bug where the game tries to recover my connection when i'm about to be disconnected but it returns me to a black screen where I can actually move and do all the stuff but i just don0t see anything.

The menu shows up fine though.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

First exotic for year 2 is the Knuckle Head Radar.

Noice!

My first engram popped a Y2 Inmost, which was my first Y1 exotic.

Luv ya, Bungie. Somehow you just knew.

 

[phen0m24]

I need to use the coins before the Strike boss?
Which strike?

Scourge of Winter mission - not strike

Easy mode

EXOTIC ENGRAM FARMVILLE™

 

[neoism]

yup fuck it that video is BS i completed it by mistake and he said you keep you CP but you dont....
:/

Really needs a higher n for the 5 and 3 coins stacked runs for this to be more Destiny science viable. I'll believe the 12,5% number for a single 3oC.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Exotic gauntlets on my first heroic using a coin. Now I won't get another for another ten strikes, used all my luck just then.

Stealth nerf from bungie after this weekend no doubt.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

normal and yes, kill yourself so it dont finish the mission

Thanks. Did it a couple of times, nothing seems to drop and the coin buff vanishes. Normal?

 

[Navy Bean]

I doubt they nerf Three of Coins (at least this week). The "exploit" just reduces the time to kill an ultra but the economy is the same: one coin increases chance of a drop.

Dude I just found out its 5 of those things for 7 Coins. I thought it was 1 for 7 coins.

Fuck everything this is a loot insanity bargain

I did mine before 9 because now I am working

Am on a work call right now - all I want to do is farm

 

[GlamFM]

1 out of ten coins so far... Shit

 

[Trickster]

So what's the quickest way to use three of coins? Seen something about a tactic requiring 2 specific exotic weapons, which I do not have

 

[nOoblet16]

Yup normal.
Try it 2 more times, you have my blessings.

 

[Definity]

We need more science in this thread ASAP.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

Yup normal.

lol

 

[gutterboy44]

Wow, my two heavy exotic engrams were a complete bust. Year 1 Thuderlord, which I already have, and Gjallarhorn, which is like my 5th one at this point. Huge waste of strange coins. Fucking hell. I didn't think they would decrypt into year 1 exotics. Smart loot my ass. Never buying those again. Going with the coins to boost drop rates. Maybe then smart loot will apply.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Dont pick up engrams, coin buff does go away yes, but it keeps stacking in the background until you pick the engram so dont do that.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Telesto get.

 

[GlamFM]

Shit! Lost my CP! Someone has one for me!?!?

 

[Lee]

Any sniper/any gun on Draksis until he's low, then finish him point blank with rocket. Suicide, engrams drop, repeat.

 

[Twilight Gap]

What exactly is it? Get the final blow on each bro with a shotgun? Do only shotgun damage? I swear this quest

Also, a 2 hour power nap might do you good before raiding man

dunno. we were all using shotguns when the boss's health was low and apparently we all got it. i didn't get the final hit on either brother and the quest still counted.

maybe it's like TLW part where if it's equipped and you're nearby, it counts.

either way, it's stupid. you need a void shotgun or the psions will wreck you, but my only void shotgun made me underleveled, smh

It's called a "Legacy" Engram, they're guaranteed to be Year 1 stuff with the old attack stats. The Helm Engram on sale is Year 2 with guaranteed 290 Light engrams from it.

I'm not though. at least I don't think I am. I die right away, no time to pick anything up

Are you reading the thread ... At all... Any of the last 30 pages?

 

[Shito]

Finished my serie of ~100 ToC.
Going to the tower to count the number of engrams I got, and then I upload the video of how to do Draksis.

 

[neoism]

guess the exotic farm is only for ppl with 5757393757383747 strange coins....

 

[Lnkn52]

Ruthless when was the last time you slept...

 

[EloquentM]

I need your assistance dgaf. Also smh for this thread being on page 20 when I wake up lol. Basically I need to know best way to farm those relic drops for gunsmith and how to get higher artifacts. They just aren't dropping for me and I'm stagnant in the 280s because of this.
