Quick and dirty server room monitor tip learned the hard way.
Do we still spoiler? One more day? Just in case.
Conversion chart. (You only need 0-5. Pretty easy to memorize for how many times we're going to be doing it.)
Siva Engine Calculator.
That picture on Discord is a fantastic guide. Wish I had seen it earlier.

To reset the diamond room just activate the monitor again. When activated the monitors always returns a number for section 00. When section 00 is done correctly the monitors automatically receive the code for section 01 without requiring further activation.

Yeah, after someone pointed it out, I ran it last night a few times and moved up from 355 to 358. Planning on going at it again tonight to reach 360 and hoping to be at 365 tomorrow night so i can try the raid this weekend.
Thank goodness the "leveling" is behind us lol.
Bungie is scared to make it rain loot for some reason. I just don't know what their designers are thinking sometimes.
It's kept private to help prevent trouble makers from joining.
Until Tuesday reset, please. I know a couple of people at least that have still managed not to spoil themselves and it is worth it.

Dont worry, that'll be nerfed next
imo, Sepkis is the more efficient grind.

Run sepiks at 320 LL hard strike in the director. Over and over.
Wow that is terrible. I did it legit as well and got about 5 keys by the time I got 361. Were you running heroic?
Run the Sepkis Perfected strike, select "The Devils Lair" from Earth & put it on hard.
More/alternate methods here.

I believe the mods said one week from launch day so tomorrow would be the day. Reddit already lifted the spoiler ban. But there's quite a few people who haven't raided yet so I'll still be coy about it and tag stuff until someone yells at me to stop tagging lol
I'd love it if we could keep tagging stuff until the reset. I know that a whole lot of people out there are trying the raid for the first time this weekend.

To all lamenting Omni RIP, I grinded Sepiks Perfected all the way up to raid ready. Either way was serviceable!
Speaking of raid, still trying to organize a fresh Xbox WotM run tonight after having connection issues last night. Let me know here or Discord if interested!

I'm with ya. Takes all of two seconds to spoiler tag your post haha.
Yes I know I'm guilty of not tagging a couple things prior
Plus that epic music tho!

Good ol' Hawkian, always thinking of the little people.
At my current rate I won't be raid-ready for like a month.

So Nightfall used to have a pretty good drop rate of Strike specific loot. Do Skeleton keys not drop more if you keep farming nightfall strikes?
I've appreciated GAF using spoilers up til now, we're trying it out for the first time tomorrow and I've been able to visit the thread without catching any drift of what goes on during the raid. I think Hawkian is right, through this weekend would seem reasonable knowing that a lot of time needed to be put in to be raid ready and many people will just be getting there this weekend.
What LL are you at?
Hell after 365, running Crucible playlist seems to net you a legendary drop at about the same rate of a skeleton key anyway. And you can use three of coins at a faster rate then strikes. With boosters we were getting 210 rep per win last night too. We played 6 matches in an hour-ish and everyone on our team got at least one legendary and most of us two. Doesn't help with artifacts though.
I got the Nemesis Star at 372 last night, so excited to try it out.

That's what I did to help push to 365, along with crucible post game rewards. Didn't take very long to get blues for infusing all of my item slots, plus a handful of keys for strike specific loot. Farming the same strike seems like it would take longer and cause fatigue to happen faster. Plus with solar burn this week it'd be even easier than last week...
Once I hit 365 I decrypted some Exotics and then jumped into the raid.
I tried that at first. Kept getting thrown into the Malok strike, Saber, and Undying Mind. Those are some of the worse especially when you're under leveled and playing with randoms at even lower LL than you who bail on you.
Yeah I did a few PvP matches yesterday and received some pretty nice upgrades in a very short amount of time.
I've been mostly doing Heroic Strike playlist stuff to gear up, 363 now stuck with a 361 Artifact and 360 Ghost. I'm down to do the raid whenever someone thinks taking a 363 isn't too risky, I've been just sitting on the sidelines watching everyone do the Raid and now the Exotic quest.

When this going down? Our team go to the final boss and spent 3 hours there yesterday activating all the monitors on the way... we ran out of time and couldnt finish him. If i joined i'd be at the same point. But i'm not home until 5:30-5:45 eastern time :/

Question re: Outbreak Prime & Raid. Spoiler tagged just in case.
Assume that a fireteam of 6 gets through the raid activating all the monitors EXCEPT for the last one before killing Aksis. As long as one person remains in the raid, if the other fireteam members leave, switch characters, and return will they still have the monitors that were previously activated?

Fresh raid anyone? On PS4.
366 Titan. I've never done it so would love if some experienced Guardians wanted to come along.

I don't know if that has been tested but Even if that works, you miss out on the guaranteed
exotic engram.
363 is more than enough to start the raid, Frostburn.
The Heroic SIVA playlist has lots of benefits beyond the end-of-match blues, the rep is totally worthwhile, the timing is right for 3oCs, plenty of legendary engrams too, and you might luck out with a skeleton key. With a GAF fireteam it's pretty fun as well.
Fatigue aside however, I can't imagine that playlist with randoms could possibly be faster than Sepiks from the director. It's quite a quick strike.

That *should* work as long as one person remains throughout... But don't quote me on that haha.

Do the 320 strike bosses drop engrams at 365?
Or is just the ones in the heroic playlist?

363 definitely isn't too risky. We've done full runs with a 364, so not much difference. I would say anyone 360+ can do the raid, but the final boss will be a bit more difficult if you have too many people under 370.
It's not faster but it's not about faster. It's about actually being fun and worthwhile as you play instead of making the game into even more of a tedious grind.
Cool will be looking to sign up for one really soon then, I'm hoping to get to 365 but that ghost and artifact might hold me back, I've been banking my Exotics to decrypt once I hit 365 as well.
What do they mean that "There's a hole in the wall." hasn't been patch yet?
Thanks for the love, fam.

Artifacts can drop from decrypted engrams, strike specific chests and from ranking up eris (and regular faction package iirc?); ghosts can drop from any faction package.
Plus the raid can drop ghosts and artifacts, too.
