Just getting back into crucible after a long while. Isn't there some sort of weekly thing with the crucible that gives you a nightfall tier roll or something?

Also, can I do anything with all my house judgment tokens I never used?

There's a quest called Crucible Forged from Shaxx that'll then unlock weekly bounties from him, as long as you're at least Crucible Rank 3. It's a fairly long quest, in this order:

Crucible Forged
Crucible Combat
Conquer the Day
Factions
Trials Practice
Break the Ceiling
Weapon Master
The Mountaintop

Jafku and Tyler - Homeboyd says thanks for the carries. Jumped from 303 to 312 just doing those 4 PoE, Raid ready tonight to run the whole thing. The biggest things were 318 Ghost and 315 Primary Blue Items.

 

[FyreWulff]

By the way, don't turn in the 200 Glimmer items to Ives. The fucker steals them off you.

Several times yesterday I noticed that I would have 5-6 glimmer turn ins, I would go to turn one in, and then all of a sudden it would change to the engram turn in screen.

Didn't put 2 and 2 together until it was too late. Will grab a video for it as soon as I can for proof.

Basically, what he did to engrams pre-patch.

I don't think he takes them from you. He just bumps over to the engram screen after turning in one for some reason. It must be a bug related to the fact that he's the only one of the two that can take the Queen crystal glimmer items.

Yeah he doesn't. He just shows you more than you actually have. I've gone to him with 1 engram and he shows me that I have 2 but he only let's me decode 1.

Once I finish the quest chain, I'll be able to do weekly bounties every week?

No, I checked my inventory afterwards and I no longer had the items. Plus I spoke to him again and he didn't offer me more money.

Still don't trust him. He's shifty

 

[Lee]

Anyone here hit 334? Does everything drop at 335 once you're there? Or do you still get a few 334s?

 

[Trakan]

No, I checked my inventory afterwards and I no longer had the items. Plus I spoke to him again and he didn't offer me more money.

He did it with glimmer items before the patch. I thought that was the bug, I never had him steal any engrams. I thought I learned about it from a post by you, in fact.

I just never decrypt stuff at the reef.

I'm getting new weapons and I don't know which ones are good and which are garbage. Anyone have a list of what's worth keeping and such?

For farming or score? I'm down to farm.

 

[xplicitone]

Yea, the bounties will be available every week. The 6th bounty each week gives the Nightfall-style reward: "The True Meaning of War - Complete all 5 of Shaxx's weekly bounties in one week.". For some reason, when you complete the questline and obtain the bounties and grab that, some of it might be completed. It might be 2/5 or 3/5 when you grab it. It was that way for me on both XB1 and PS4 and some other people as well.

With that said, what I do is I only turn in enough Shaxx bounties in order to complete that bounty. You can wait for next week to grab The True Meaning of War before turning in the old ones, if you wish. I usually have 2-3 bounties already done every week this way.

Not only that you get those bounties everyweek from completing the quest, you ALSO get those bounties for all 3 characters you can complete once per character per week! Meaning, you only need to go through that quest once ever.

General rule of thumb is look at the perks. Are the perks extremely situational? That's garbage.

Are the perks something you would benefit from (almost) every time you fire the gun? That's good shit.

 

[Kalamari]

Either I guess, I haven't completed it at all yet.

Examples: Last one alive on your team. Firing from behind cover.

Examples: Extra stability when damaging a target. Target explodes on headshot kill.

I'm pretty sure even if you complete the main bounty before turning in the other weeklies, they apply to the progress of next week's main bounty. Every time I pick up the bounty it's already completed or almost completed. Anyone else notice this?

 

[TalentBurke]

Okay give me about 10 minutes. Grabbing some food real quick.

Yes, you can use them by dismantling them. I think they give you 60 rep each. Same for armor and weapon cores, and treasure keys.

 

[WeTeHa]

He doesn't actually take things away, he just shows you double the amount you actually have. Everything is displayed twice.

 

[Kadey]

Anyone up for POE 41/challenge?

 

[Kor of Memory]

That doesn't make sense, as I went there with 2 House banners and 1 Axiomatic beads. Clicked on 1 House banner turn in, and everything else was gone.

An example being, are you forced to use the perk 'exhumed' on this weapon? If so, dismantle.

I would love to hear the perk brainstorming meeting and how something like exhumed made it past any sort of peer review.

I only remember this during the first time I grabbed it.

I could test and turn in 1 and see if it's 1/5 next week, haha. But most of the time I have enough space for them all anyways.

I'll be on in about 30 minutes if you haven't found anyone yet.

okay that hasn't happened to me. I just see everything twice.

Talentburke and I need a third

Its been that way for me. If i complete two bounties in a week but dont feel like doing the other 3 (win a rift match..ugh) i turn them in and next week my weekly bounty starts at 2.

 

[General_Frags]

Anyone up for the challenge of the Elders?

 

[Kor of Memory]

Also, has anyone else felt like Ruin Wings perk has gone to shit again?

It feels worse than Dark Below times. I've gone a full Challenge of Elders (not farming) and not seen a heavy box drop.

 

[Namikaze1]

Plan C is LEGIT in the update.

Edit: Vendor Hawksaw is nice too. My favorite sights.

Trials tomorrow? I'll be available all day tomorrow.

Yep, it seems like it's back to feast or famine.

Me!

cloud945076. I guess we'd need one more.

Oh no I meant if you've already completed the Weekly bounty (5/5), turn that in, but also have other Shaxx bounties completed and saved... if you turn them in as well, will next week's start out by how many extra you've turned in?

 

[Kor of Memory]

[jerry0wilson]

CoE? PSN AdmiralMidget

No mic at moment

 

[TalentBurke]

What's the point of doing POE? Any good loot?

I'm loving the Hawksaw as well.

I REALLY want to try the Vacancy or whatever the FWC Fusion is called. Looks legit

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

2 blue engrams for a heroic strike? Cmon now.

Yeah thats what i meant. Afaik the answer is yes.

 

[darthbob]

Is it even worth it to do Heroic Strikes? Any added bonus with them this time around?

 

[Kor of Memory]

Strike specific loot is smart loot.

So you could get a 335 psion flayer class item from them.

Oh that's not bad.

Is it possible to get, say, a Psion Flayer Mantle class item when not playing as a Hunter?

Just the increased reputation gains. Other than that there's not a lot of reason to run them unless you are after strike specific gear. The engram drop rate is woeful even with the so called streak applied.

Too bad. Sounds like it's not really worth it. Would be nice if bungo would rotate the modifiers instead of just always Fresh Troops... :/

How much rep are you getting per strike?

 

[Kadey]

I'll be on in about 30 minutes if you haven't found anyone yet.

I could wait since I'm eating.

 

[mehrmantrout]

How much rep are you getting per strike?

Apparently with the vanguard boost its 10 strikes to cycle a level

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

How much rep are you getting per strike?

With the Vanguard rep booster applied I think it's 250 Vanguard and 125 faction. So it's good, but strikes are still boring. :/
