Just got myself an exotic scout rifle, the Boolean Gemini, off the "Lost and found" quest that you get from Petra after completing The Taken War for her.

294 light on my warlock now, and with all the stuff that I've bought for my Titan and transferring the weapons I'm at 264 light on him at the moment. Just started the questline so I hope that I'll be able to get some good upgrades for him now. Hope to be able to get him to 290 tonight as well and do a nightfall with him.

Nice work, your powering through.

That taken war quest has shat me off. I can't be arsed creating a fireteam for it, so the dam event won't trigger. Sat around in venus doing random bounties for half an hour with no luck.

I'm on like 210 light at the moment. Gonna hit some of the strikes i have quests for first off tonight (Shield Brothers one and Sunless something or other is the other one). Apparently after doing the Shield Brothers quest i'll unlock The Taken War: Earth, which i'm going to try and go ham on too. I want to try to do the quest for 5 strikes in the normal TTK strike playlist as well if possible. So, yeah, i might be roping someone in to help me do some of that shit... @Damien :p

:D after that quest step there's one for doing five HEROIC strikes! Takes ages to do. Done 2/5 so far
 
So tempted to get back into destiny

my kid has gotten all the DLC's is it easy for me to get them off his account for free?

Im nearly sure last time I tried similar I wasnt able to do it

Yeah i read about that, not desperate to do that super quick but just thought 5 of the normal ones would be fairly straightforward to bash out. Think after that step there's one for doing the Nightfall too, so that should be fun!

Nice, how are you finding the Hand Cannon? Not sure I like them much now they have been nerfed but they are decent at a short/mid range.
 
What did ye order for next week and have ye been finding the the things for the gunsmith that ups your level with him, first time i found it i thought i had a new weapon
 
@christy87, that person I got to do the nightfall with us was awesome. I was chatting with him on LFG through the strike and after we finished he gave me a Red Bull code, saying he had 50 which he gave to people he likes

There was a spell there near the end where he was locking on to us and he was able to dodge him

Yeah, I ended up running into walls and stuff but man, he was speedy.

Xur's only selling Engrams from now on:

In Year One, Xûr was a community “loot drop,” a shared rallying point that everyone could cheer or curse. In Year Two, Xûr’s offerings have been changed so that he will select either a specific Exotic Weapon or an Exotic Engram for sale every week. This change is due primarily to our desire to give players more direct paths to acquiring the Exotics they want through Quests and gameplay experiences, and to avoid repetition in his inventory.Xûr will also sell a new consumable, the Three of Coins, which gives bosses a chance to drop Exotic Engrams, including Weapon Engrams. These consumables have a cumulative luck effect, so even if one doesn’t net you a drop, the next one has a higher chance to do so.
Lastly, Xûr will also choose a Legacy Engram every week. These Engrams contain Year One Exotics (at Year One Attack and Defense levels) for players who want to finish up a Collection. They strongly bias towards Exotics not already in your Blueprint Collection, to help fill in the blank slots - excluding Mythoclast and Necrochasm, which are still only available from their Year One sources.

You picked the fusion rifle, the rewards kind of sucked i got a level 3 rune, as for xur is there going to be a price increase in thing seeing as i have nearly doubled by coins and motes in the last few days

Got no idea.

Yeah I don't have a fusion rifle yet post-DLC so thought that was the obvious pick for me.

The Cyan Star shader is awesome. I look like a bird now.
 
I got up to 236 light tonight, mainly by chaining strikes. Think i'll plough on with that next time i'm on as it seemed to do the trick quite well. Hopefully if i can buy an engram from Xur it'll be worthwhile.

The court of Oryx, I found one of the other ruins by killing the a taken witch i got the agonarch rune and now it has to be charged to open that chest by hunting taken threats

If you guys need an extra guy for court of oryx give me an invite, got a quest which involves it too! :)

Yeah I got one of them on the hull breach. Wonder where you can find the others?
 
You know the hall of souls the where the hive are praying :lol: when you kill all of them you get a relic its not for the court its to go out to a chest thats on some poisoned ground and it a slow opening chest
 
@Sampy93 - yeah, me and Christy had issue on that same mission. We both called each other in to help.

That was definitely the quickest I've done that though. The high light must have helped. The machine gun was pulverising him
 
I'm so annoyed!!! For that I only got 20 marks and a rocket launcher which is weaker than my sword! Albeit a legendary -.-
 
So, just bought some goodies from Xur. He's by the door near the Speaker by the way. He's selling an exotic item for each class and an exotic helmet engram, plus a legacy engram which you can get year 1 stuff from. I bought the Hunter gauntlets and exotic helmet engram which decoded into a 290 defense Mask of the Third Man. Unfortunately, i equipped the 280 defense exotic gauntlets i bought from him first and dismantled my other set of gauntlets so i can't equip the helmet as i only have one set of gauntlets and they're the exotic ones :lol:

Anyways, back to grinding strikes!

What's the "Three of Coins" consumable he is selling?
 
i've definitely got the destiny bug again with this dlc. if they'd released the game as it is now at launch i think it would have been absolutely massive.
 
Just seen someone on reddit talking about using the Three of Coins on the Scourge of Winter mission as the boss at the end is an Ultra. Looks like a decent method to get some exotics.
