Strikes. Stop with the quests and do strikes. If your goal is 290 as fast as possible, that's what you should be doing for best results.

Court of Oryx drops tons too.

 

[SlenderBeans]

So is Black Spindle only available today? I wasn't going to play today but now I might need to.

 

[xir]

We did it twice we had two solar swords and my void sword.
Killed everything but the solar knight for the first run and on the second run we left the void knight alive until the end. Hope that helps.

Makes me wonder what else they have hidden away in daily missions
We know that some of the grates in Rasputin's bunker are destroyable...

In one of the new missions there is one that is not able to be destroyed but you can glimpse through the vents there is something behind it and that it looks to lead downwards... maybe it will open up when it becomes the daily?

wait, do you have to kill the boss as well? the guy in the dark who teleports away? confusing reading the quest decription

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Anyone up for the Daily Heroic/Black Spindle mission on PS4? About to attempt it alone unless someone is getting a group together.

PSN: Squadon
Light Level 280 Warlock

I'll tag along. PSN - fenix1989uk.

 

[Ikkarus]

Man, tell me your secrets.

Sunbreaker Titan clearing adds and gaining orbs and the Nightstalker is tethering the other adds and generates more orbs. Essentially rinse and repeat that until you either win or die, lol.

 

[saveweyard]

Wow, the Gunsmith gives you pretty good Legendary weapons on Armsday. I just received a Legendary scout rifle with 280 attack. Not bad for a few simple field tests.

It's alright for lower level folks. Once you're in the 290s they're pretty much only good for marks, unless the weapon has really good perks on it, then you'll want to infuse it up to higher attack values. I'm mostly ranking up the gunsmith so I can get those class specific exotics.

and shotgun from the deathsingers



already got the shotgun last week



working as intended

 

[Anoregon]

How long are raid clears taking now that lots of folks are getting familiar with it? If it's still 3+ hours then it is definitely something I will have to do on a weekend.

 

[2real4tv]

For new page.

Still looking?

 

[WipedOut]

So is Black Spindle only available today? I wasn't going to play today but now I might need to.

No apparently it's been in there since day 1 when the DLC hit. It's part of the black hammer rune stone thing.

 

[commish]

I still haven't touched my alts since TTK dropped. There just isn't enough time!

I've actually come to the decision that I'm just going to focus on one character. It's just too time consuming to maintain 3 characters. And even when I had 3 characters, I ended up only using the same one anyway, outside of doing the raids or NF with the other 2.

 

[Deku Tree]

If you dismantle the legendary Strangers Rifle, do you get a Runestone?

 

[Union Carbine]

Wow, the Gunsmith gives you pretty good Legendary weapons on Armsday. I just received a Legendary scout rifle with 280 attack. Not bad for a few simple field tests.

Yep. I think it's a great way to grab some weapons guaranteed for a slot that you want without needing legendary marks.

I can't imagine it's only today, but we won't know for sure until tomorrow.

 

[E92 M3]

Thanks to my main, I leveled my alts to 290+ within an hour each. Thank goodness the grind is only bad on one character.

 

[Ophelion]

So is Black Spindle only available today? I wasn't going to play today but now I might need to.

No one is 100% sure if this instance can be accessed just off the heroic difficulty for the mission or if it has to be the daily heroic solo. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

The hunters I've gone with tether the boss, which IMO is silly. So chaining supers hasn't been a thing in any of my attempts so far. :'(

 

[LiK]

Court of Oryx drops tons too.

I completed all 6 Reciprocal runes for that quest and only got like 8 engrams at most and most were crap blues.

 

[everyday math]

I enjoy everything about the hive except for the shitty look of their raid drops. I thought Crota's end was bad, but this makes that look like Project Runway. The Titan gear especially is super gross.

The Titan armor looks awesome.

 

[lt519]

Same. That's gonna change this week though!

So some tips, which you probably already know:

1. Move over all your weapons and ghost for immediate light level boost
2. You can move over a high blue light level class item and infuse it into the first legendary class item you get from the early missions
3. Equip an exotic
4. Spend 80 marks or 160 on two other pieces of armor
5. Edge over factions if you can for a chance at other gear
6. You can farm engrams on your main and decrypt them on your alt.

You'll be at 265+ light level before you even lift a finger. You can actually get to 290+ without ever really playing on your alt.

 

[BahamutPT]

Raid giving me the finger with a 300 Shotgun (mine is already 299 and has Crowd Control, so not really an upgrade)
I guess I'll pass it on to an alt.

 

[Mrgamer]

Already finished the raid on my main on reset day so hopefully this weekend I'll have time to gear them up. Still have a lot of quests on my main to get through though...

 

[AmateurHour212]

Court of Oryx drops tons too.

Yup. For sure

For efficiency sake, I was saying strikes. Don't know if he has the runes for CoO or people to help him with it.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

I don't think so. I remember people saying they did and nothing happened.

 

[Zocano]

You'll be at 265+ light level before you even lift a finger.

Artifacts can be transferred over as well, correct? I have an extra 300 sitting in my vault as we speak.

 

[derwalde]

After wasting 6 hours of my life to get the spindle i give up. I need at least a week off from destiny now

 

[saveweyard]

Nope, class specific. Ghosts can be though.

 

[Deku Tree]

teach me the ways.

Got my Hunter to 282 light doing almost nothing on my Hunter.

Leveled up to 40 by obtaining my subclass, poping a focused light, equipping the exotic EXP boost item from the CE junk, and handing in 16 saved bounties. This also got my nightstalker subclass halfway through the third exp row.

Today I transferred two legendary armor engrams that I had saved to my hunter and bought a legendary arm piece, and got a legendary cloak from a DO rank up, and then infused all of them with 2-3 high powered warlock armors each (you can get a lot higher powered end result by infusing 2-3 times with your three highest power pieces starting from lowest to highest versus doing it just once).

BAM. 282 light with a 200 Artifact too.

Did the daily story today on my hunter to unlock the dreadnaught.

Now I have another story mission to do. The Dreadnaught patrol is still not open. And I can not see the KF raid on my director.

Next step on my Hunter is to unlock the dreadnaught patrol and do the CoO quest from Eris. Gotta get that 300 Artifact to get to 290+.

 

[SockyJohnson]

wait, do you have to kill the boss as well? the guy in the dark who teleports away? confusing reading the quest decription

oh yeah the boss has to go down as well.
we took the knight down first then the boss.
30 seconds is the timer I believe from knight > boss kill

[lt519]

I think they are class specific, so you'll have to find a legendary artifact first before you can infuse another classes blue into it which requires some actual playing. Not sure if you can infuse though like the class item.

 

[SlenderBeans]

So I love the fact that Bungie hid this Exotic from us. Aside from Sleeper and No Time, I wonder what else is hidden.

 

[Ophelion]

I don't think so. I remember people saying they did and nothing happened.

So, you know how you can spin the model of your armor when you inspect it now? Wouldn't it be awesome if there were clues hidden on a piece of armor somewhere?

 

[radiohead1]

I got to tell you, that Black Spindle mission was a lot harder than I expected! I'm only 282, and with a team of two others we weren't able to do it before I had to bail for work.

Would love to try it when I get off work today so if anybody has any tips that would be great.

I find it interesting to not have weapons that I love. I was so used to just having all the best weapons and being max level, that it is tough equipping gear that I don't love just to get higher light.

I love this expansion so much. Destiny feels great right now.

If you just do the CoO quest you can get a 300 artifact

 

[SheHateMe]

something like that

Then let's link up! If we can get LiK to join us, we might be able to clear it before reset tomorrow morning. LOL

 

[Deku Tree]

Artifacts can be transferred over as well, correct? I have an extra 300 sitting in my vault as we speak.

No but once you get up to around 280 light, or if you are with a big team at CoO, then you can do the Eris CoO quest on your alt to get a 300 artifact.

There's definitely something going on with Cayde's Stash

 

[SlenderBeans]

So is anyone with Oryx experience able to help me out tonight? I'd like to try again. I know the strategy, just need a group of experienced players to help me out.

What is this?

ah, ok. how'd you melt him so fast? what was your light level? I'm 296 and isee the mission is 300

 

[saveweyard]

Two more hours until I head home from work where 3 new exotics will be waiting for me. One for each weapon slot, actually.
