oh ok, thanks. That makes sense. I wrongly assumed gear = armor. Didn't think about weapons. I have been trying to collect all 3 element types for each special and heavy weapon (think I'm only missing an arc sniper). They are all blue but I'll slowly upgrade to purple.

Great info in your post Spronk, thanks. I'm not sure what you mean by the quote above. I have a set of Vanguard purple gear and I wear it all except the chest (voidfang vestments is what I use instead). Is there some sort of bonus to a full set of legendary gear that negates the...

Thanks Ritley. I was eyeing that one too. I prefer scout over auto, so if it stacks up comparably I'd use it over Shadow Price.

Yes I have legendary vanguard in each armor slot, and voidfang exotic chest. If I buy a heavy weapon it would be a rocket launcher (although I want to eventually buy Gjallarhorn from Xur). Wasn't sure if best use of my coins would be to stick with Shadow Price and buy a launcher/sniper or...

Looking for a weapon recommendation. Currently am using a Shadow Price. Have enough coins saved to buy Icebreaker next time Xur offers it. My special and heavy weapons are blue. I have 150+ Vanguard marks saved, so what weapon would you recommend I buy next from the Vanguard merchant? Was...

Planning to finally get a PS4 this Black Friday (or at least by Christmas) so I can take advantage of the free Destiny upgrade from my PS3 version. Hoping Amazon, or someone, has a good deal on JUST the PS4 console. I don't have any interest the bundle (have GTA5 on PS3 already and rented/beat...

Is there some sort of a pattern the gunsmith follows for when and what rares he sells? I need 10 fusion rifles for a bounty, but my work schedule only lets me check the gunsmith twice a day. I haven't seen him sell a rare fusion rifle yet, so it's going to take me forever to get the 6 more I...

I'm on PS3. What's your PSN name?

I'd bet the first 2 DLC's were originally going to be part of the initial release but they pulled them back to milk more $. and another rant about obvious dumb stuff...why aren't legendary weapons/armor made lore for each character when on person (meaning you can store stuff in the vault and...

Yes, it would be much better. It's stupid you can't use matchmaking for whatever activity you want. Also, why isn't there a res timer for the daily and weekly stuff? Just annoying to deal with, especially if you are doing it just as a duo.

Can't decide if I should buy Patience and Time from Xur or save my coins and hope for something better next week (have exactly 17 coins and it's taken me since release to get that many haha). Don't have any other exotic weapons yet, so anything is an upgrade. On a side note, today I finally...

It seems like every season now one team gets dominated and slowly gets voted out, which then forces a re-picking of teams (which has been so lopsided the last few years it isn't even entertaining anymore) and then forces an early merger. The producers need to think out of the box and do...

Zindan I always assumed it was lag or some sort of server problem. Mine always resolved itself quickly though. I just hit Vanguard rank 3 yesterday. Should I now start working on one of the other factions? Any suggestions on which one? (sunslinger PVE focus if it matters)

I do, but I'll bet you aren't on ps3.

I have a love/hate relationship with the RNG (mostly hate). I FINALLY got my first legendary engram to drop and it's a class item engram (blah) and it decoded into a Hunter cloak (double blah). Was in a bad mood about that so I went to check my mailbox (hit vanguard rank 3) and in the care...

Got it on my 6th try. I think I was just too slow getting to District 9. I got 2 shards in the chest (is it ever anything else?).

Have you guys been able to get the VoG glitch to work to skip the spire event? I tried it 5x this morning and every time it didn't work. I followed the video above exactly.

Vlett is right, you can only play with PS3 players on a PS3 or only PS4 players if you are on the PS4. If you do eventually upgrade from PS3 to PS4, at least your characters will transfer with you and you don't have to start over (tied to your PSN).

Finally got my first legendary item through turning in blue engrams! (level 26 and cryptarch rank 7). Received Shadow Price! It has glass half full, third eye, lightweight, and armor piercing rounds. I don't know my weapons very well, but how lucky did I get in the grand scheme of lottery...

Have you always had a chance at rare blue rewards when you turn in bounties? Today I was just turning in random vanguard bounties I had finished and along with the +faction I got a blue ship.

I wish you were on PS3!

Finally collected 23 motes of light and traded them for an exotic engram from Xur. Ended up being voidfang vestiments. Yay for gear I can actually wear, but I don't think it's any good (someone confirm this for me since I've been under the assumption that disc/int >>> str for warlocks). It's...

Great writeup spronk, thanks. I'm 24 and just starting to buy vanguard gear now that I've hit rank 2. Your advice fits perfectly from here to 30. So glad to hear I can eventually solo everything but the raid. Right now I can't find a group for the weekly heroic, but thankfully the tiger...

Ok thanks. I thought the only other use was purely cosmetic, so looks like I'll be playing the Xur lottery and hoping I get something warlock usable.

Motes of light have no stat-effecting purpose other than Zur engram lottery right? I almost have enough to buy an engram from him, but didn't want to waste my motes of light if there is something else more reliable out there to use them for, that would advance my character.

Hey. Yeah the last time we grouped for a moment I think you were trying to ask me who I was on the mic, but my daughter was asleep so I had the volume turned way down. I don't have a mic to respond to you anyways, just fyi.

Not sure what you mean by that exactly a_skeleton_03. My options are gloves, chest, helmet, legs. The helmets are the most expensive by almost double, so I'm thinking I'd be better off getting 2 pieces of the other stuff to try and break into lv 25. Just not sure which piece(s) I should be...

Finally hit vanguard rank 2 and have 121 marks. Any suggestions on what order to buy the vanguard armor pieces to get the best bang for my buck? I'm a Sunslinger and have nothing but blues in every slot. Unless I get lucky I doubt I'll suddenly fall into any legendary or exotic stuff this...

No problem, I figured it was something like that. In the invite message I did mention rerolled, but if you get flooded with invites in the tower than I can see how it might have been overlooked. If you can't find it let me know and I'll send it again (if PSN let's me send another one with...

I saw Verseia a couple times and grouped up once I think. Vorph I sent you a friend request when Destiny launched. Accept it already! :P (PSN: sarthek)

Totally agree. I've said from the beginning that not having a matchmaking option for everything was a dumb decision. I'm 24 now, so no raid or nightfall yet, and my playtimes are so sporatic. I've only been able to do the daily heroic solo, and not even attempt the weekly heroic because I...

Thanks for the tips guys. I just don't have the playtime to make 2 alts (just have my one 23 Sunslinger), and I haven't found a good enough random group to complete a weekly heroic yet. I've been soloing the daily heroics, barely, and the strike playlist I've tried at 24 for the best rewards...

I've only earned 1 strange coin ever...first I miss out on Suros and now I miss out on IceBreaker. Once I actually figure out how to get a bunch of coins, I bet Xur is going to sell total crap every week!

Got my first exotic weapon bounty! Any suggestions between Thorn, Invective, and Bad Juju? I don't have any other exotic or legendary gear yet. I'm thinking either Invective (shotgun for pvp + ammo regen) or Bad Juju (seems the easiest to complete for a casual like me, and weapon might be...

Anyone else on PS3 experiencing game freezes lately? The last 2 days Destiny has frozen on me and I've hard to do a hard reboot of the PS3. Seems random too, once was in the middle of a patrol on Earth and the other was when I was on the moon and drove my vehicle off a cliff.

You've always been able to share PSN digital purchases with mutiple consoles (I think the limit is around 3 console downloads per game). It really is the way to go if you don't care about reselling physical copies down the road.

So what am I supposed to get for doing the daily heroic? I got no rewards when I finished, that I could see.

Got my first legendary engram tonight..and it decoded into blue crap. Hooray for the upcoming patch!

I have 65 weapon parts saved up. Do you guys tend to only use them for specific upgrades or just spend them when you have them? I have some blue weapons I use that I haven't upgraded fully yet because of the weapon part usage. Also, what do you guys do with spinmetal, helium filaments, and...

Yes I decoded all 6 blue engrams I had when I was 20. I have blue everything but helm and I am still level 20. I believe my armor is all upgraded already, but I'll look and see.
