Re: Bungie - Destiny

Here we go again with the Xur Report. Watch the video for the retur of "Xur" and his special deals...

Xur is located in Tower North, down past the speaker.



The LEGACY Engram is for Special Weapons. Don't buy this unless you want a Pocket Infinity, as this is the only way you can get one.

For the Titan, it's the Eternal Warrior helmet. Don't buy this

For the Hunter, it's the Achloyphage Symbiote helmet. Need an extra golden gun bullet? Here ya go.

For the Warlock, it's the Skull Of Dire Ahamkara. Ummm well, it's a skull. That's about it.

The Weapon this week is Bad Juju. Best offer this week.

Ornaments:

Moonglow for Hawkmoon. I bought this. He offered it a few weeks back, gold and black. Sexy.

The Wolves Remember for The Young Wolves Howl. I did not buy this. Black and gold sword. Meh.

And that'll do it for the text report. Stay tuned for the "Xur" Report, coming right up.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I am debating buying the legacy exotic special to see if I can get an ice breaker. I am sure I will most likely just get a dupe though.

What a cocktease. I saw the screen cap for your video and thought they were selling the juju ornament.

The Legacy will decode to whatever you don't already have. If you never got the Ice Breaker before, and it is the only special weapon you have never earned, then it will 100% decode into the Ice Breaker.

I didn't realize the legacy engrams were 100%. I thought it was just a higher chance to not get a dupe. I am going to have to buy a heavy next time as well to get dragon's breath. Thanks!

and what would be the reward/point of doing this, 400 level gear?
if so seems like a waste of time considering you can get to 400 without the hassle

EDIT: I guess the answer is raid gear ornaments ..... whoop de doo

If only there was a central location where all Destiny related information on Earth could be stored...

Re: Bungie - Destiny

It's that time of week, where we look for treats from our tentacle faced friend only to get his equivalent of raisins, the Xur Report is back!

Xur is located at the Reef this week. "Xur" is in a new location at the iron temple.

Here is what Xur has this week...



The LEGACY Engram this week is for Chests. Don't buy this.

For the Titan, it's The Taikonaut helmet. Do you for some strange reason use a rocket launcher that doesn't have tracking? Well it does now!

For the Hunter, it's Young Ahamkara's Spine. Do you like Tripmines? Here's another one for ya.

For the Warlock, it's the Ram helmet. Not the L.A. Ram helmet. This one is actually quite good at protection.

The weapon this week is Red Death. Get your health back foo!

Ornaments this week:

Shock Hazard for Zhalo Supercell. Want a slightly better looking version of the supercell? Here ya go!

Queen's Command for Telesto. Want a purple Telesto? Here ya go!

And that'll do it for the text version this week. stay tuned for the video report, coming right up.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I looked last night and saw where I had 218 Exotic Shards....the most I've ever had and nearly 45-48 ToC for each character. I really need to spend and run more Strikes. I know some of you have far, far more but I'm even down to buying materials by the droves with Legendary Engrams just to get them out.....

So on that Titan Helm, tracking is the main perk, anything else good about it?

Nothing about that hemet is good considering the fact that if you're going to use a rocket launcher, it's exotic and already has tracking.

As for the exotic shards, I had hundreds and am now down to about 5 with all of the infusion I've done over the past 2 months.

Is the Black Spindle still obtainable? I haven't really been keeping track of the daily missions.

Yes it is. You don't even have to wait for it to be the daily heroic. Just select the lost to light mission and choose the hard version and you can try for it.

218 shards? How the hell do you have so many?

As for the Taikonaut, the other perks are radar while aiming down sights on heavy weapons and heavy drops more often. These perks can also be obtained from the Ruin Wings or raid gloves (for the heavy ammo). I did say in the video that you get the radar perk with the Memory Of Gheleon, but that artifact is only for primary weapons, while this is only for heavy weapons. But the need for radar with a heavy is very limited.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I'm sure most people know, but for those who don't, there's an easy way to replenish (or build up) your exotic shard collection.

Buy a heavy exotic weapon from the tower kiosk (dragons breath is a good choice). It costs 1 exotic shard and 2500 glimmer if I remember correctly.

Equip it, and then use 8 Motes of Light to max out its perks.

Then unequip it and dismantle it. A fully maxed out exotic nets you 2 exotic shards, 3 Motes of light, and some glimmer.

So basically this method nets you +1 exotic shard at the cost of 5 Motes and some glimmer every time you do it.

I do this every time I max out my glimmer. I have about 100 shards in reserve and I constantly infuse my exotics.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Sorry Scott...I meant Legendary Engrams....I just have a paltry 10 Exotic Shards.....

I decoded another Exotic last night and got a 393 Hereafter sniper. I'm debating on breaking this down and putting it toward some sort of Legendary but for now I'll use this as a "Floater" between characters when leveling up gear, factions or Vanguard.

I've got several Exotic Boot engrams but not sure which characters benefit them the most. right now all three have a solid Chest pc (390-391) and I have one arm Exotic to burn as well...no Helms.

One last question...I've got two Skeleton Keys now...suggestions on which character and chest to use them on?

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Unless you have access to some vault that no one else does there is no way you have 218 legendary engrams. You sure you don't mean strange coins?
