I can wear it, but my throat hurts.
There are 3 "Tiers" of runes, with difficulty and payoff scaling accordingly.
Eris is asking you to do 6 Tier 1 (Reciprocal Rune), 3 Tier 2 (Stolen Rune) and 1 Tier 3 (Antiquated Rune).
Reciprocal Runes you should have plenty of. They drop from numerous chests in the Dreadnaught, Eris sometimes gives 'em to you, and sometimes you don't even know where you got them. These are simple events which you can easily do with an extra person or two with you at the Court.
Stolen Runes are a little rare. You can buy them from Eris at Rank 5, or get super lucky with one dropping from a Tier 1 chest. They're slightly harder than Tier 1, but shouldn't be a problem for a good 3 man team.
Tier 3 is a different beast. They are rare (unless you Raid on multiple characters - Raid chests drop these like candy). Some will drop "charged" (ready to use), while others require you to complete 3 Stolen Runes to charge up. These are intended to be done in a populated instance with 5-8 people. It can be 3 manned but it's really tricky.
Everyone who plays these things gets engrams from enemies, XP, Eris rep, Public Event clears for Grimoire, and random drops like Wormspore.
Only the player who actually used his Rune to begin the event gets the chest loot though. It's a few blues for a Tier 1. A bunch of blues and ammo or Wormspore or runes for a Tier 2. A Tier 3 gives you a really good chance at a Legendary Engram or a ton of blues and random assorted crap.
But for the Eris quest, there's no requirement that you use runes yourself! If you need a Tier 3, a friend of yours can use his Antiquated Rune and if you're around to help it'll cross it off your to-do list.
Once you've done the 6 1s, the 3 2s and the 3 Eris will give you a 300 Artifact. And along the way to doing all those you'll have racked up a whole bunch of engrams
How does the Agonarch Rune actually progress? Do I specifically need to kill the 7 individual named enemies to fill it?
For example in at 4/7 and I believe I did last Tues, Wed, Saturday and today.
Does this mean I will need to kill the specific enemies I missed or can I re-kill the same ones if they come up again and charge it?

I'm 292 light with a 267 light ghost. Could be so much higher. But I'm attached to this Dead Orbit ghost. I want to infuse it rather than just the vanguard one.

Its probably a set reward. Remember 2.0 update remixed everything so youll have complete yhe intro quests to get to the endgame ones
Sure man whenever. Btw why didn't you buy anything from Xur last weekend? Just inspected you (DestinyStatus can be creepy sorry) and you don't seem to have any Y2 Exotics equipped! That was a great chance for some 280/290 gear to bump your level and increase the quality of your subsequent Blues. Don't miss out this weekend
all I have is the Taikonaut helm from the engram he sold... :\
I don't have any coins left to buy anything next weekend.

Other than the 3oC, has anyone seen an exotic engram in the wild?
It's be really nice if they happened naturally on rare occasions.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I finished the 25 guardian kills last night for sword quest. That did not go as smoothly as I would have liked.
Someone posted a video of one dropping before Xur came around last week but I'm not sure what the deal was with that.

I can't decide. How useful is the Susanoo's transfusion perk in practice?
don't scrap Susanoo, it is unique. Wait for something bigger to drop to infuse

You need to kill one taken target each day.
When you load into the Dradnaught. right where you spawn, the area to the right... keep killing mobs until you see taken show up, kill a bunch of the the taken enemies, and eventually a yellow bar names enemy will show up. That's the one you need to kill.
There is also another area at the Mausoleum that will spawn taken targets.
You can do this on each one of your characters, so you can get 3 a day.

I actually plan to finish the old quests from vanilla destiny and TDB just to get them out of my abandoned quests kiosk. At some point tho. Not right now.
For PvE, as good as you can be creatively. Its jack of all trades secondary...

You only get 1 charge a day unless you:
1. Transfer via Vault to another character for an extra charge or two if you have two alts
Or
2. Join someone who is doing the Agonarch challenge. The yellow bar named enemies in that encounter will charge yours up even if you hit the one a day cap.
I did it with Ruthless and Ray yesterday. Theirs were at 4/6 I think and mine was full. By the time we finished the event they both had theirs fully charged and were able to open the rewards chest with me.

I say just infuse the new gun into Susanoo. Btw, this gun's name reminds me of this:
I do like all that the Nighstalker can do but I'm gradually coming back to Gunslinger too. If anything, with all the new classes its easier to main Gunslinger than ever.

If you promise to use a mic and swear more than Fig I can help you. We can do court of oryx.
It's RNG so...
Either way, I used 20 coins and got 4 exotics. That's 1 in every 5. Unless bungie did stealth patch this, I'd say the odds are ok.

Congrats! Planning on getting mine tonight, looks like a very unique weapon. Can't Wait!
I think Bungie mentioned they were looking into it, maybe a stealth nerf?
Were you killing Draxis?

Woot got my Chaperone. Wish it was Void damage though, because my Invective v2 is already Solar.

Anyone doing or want to do the daily story?
BTW Tier 3 changed this week, no longer will we fight Ogre XL. Now it's Mini Crota. Also gives a new Calcified Fragment, so we can have 46/50.
Or failing that, if you're shooting for Touch of Malice getting this one means you can leave 1 that you find annoying or can't get for a later time and still have the requisite 45 for the weapon

Oh snap! For reals? Might as well pick this one up then, thanks for the heads up Jav.
I think it has to be a boss, try Scourge of Winter. Get to Draxis at the end.

Court of Oryx tier 3 randoms: all people who've never beaten Crota
Anyone?
This was exactly me on my Titan last night. Teamed up with Nooblet, Ruthless, Ji66a and some helpful randoms and did a CoO, went to Tower to grab quest, came back to CoO, did 6 Tier 1s, the 3 Tier 2s and the Tier 3, went from a 200 Artifact to a 300 and became Raid ready on alt
It goes by surprisingly quick if you can get randoms to invite more people to the instance.

Shoot the bad guys?
Yeah, they were bosses. But i'll try Draxis with my last coin later.
Thanks, yeah I know how to spawn the mini-event, I am just curious if charging the rune is dependent upon specific named enemies?
Meaning, if I already killed enemy A, B, E, and F -- can I re-kill those enemies again in the same rune or do I need to kill C, D and G?
I haven't used all that many so far, maybe 35. My longest dry streak was 10. Very crappy. I think it averaged out to about 1 every 5 or 6 though.
I need to do the story first on her. -__-This was exactly me on my Titan last night.

Got lucky with my Hunter. She ended up getting a legendary artifact through an engram.I just fed hers my Titan's useless high leveled artifacts to get her raid ready.

Wait 'till you get a sucky high attack rate special to infuse. That other fusion rifle is pretty solid (for PvP AND PvE).
