Hmm... Very tempted.

Thunderlord

I'm tempted to not buy Thunderlord and just go for 3oC instead. As I'm bound to get a few exotics over the Iron Banner sessions.
But I've only got Super Good Advice from 3oC so far... And I miss Thunderlord.

Once you hit 300 light xurs items are worthless imo, i only buy 3oC.

even more so when you hit level 311. I think the only exotic worth buying at 280 is a TOM for your extra characters.

Honestly though, unless you are specifically looking for different rolls, there is no point in investing resources in multiples of the same weapon type. A decent vault manager is all you need.

If you are on Android, check out Ishtar Commander. A few clicks and you can change your load out in a matter of seconds. Faster than the matchmaking.

Yeah, I hear the lads on the party, moving stuff around. But I found with so many 310 weapons from the oryx challenges or exotics I didnt wan't, just as each to have one for each character (certainly easier than doing the hunger pangs quest on each to get their own )

At this stage I've 3 TOM's, and still 150+ hadium flakes in the vault :eek: . The TOM's are probably the only guns I've multiple of, I run my 3 characters with 3 different sets of guns, just a way I find to try out the different guns I've picked up over time.

How in the blue hell do you have that many hadium flakes?

What can I say, I like the dreadnought , every time I'd land I do a run around the spawn area hitting about 4/5 chests each time.

That app changed my destiny life. It's superb.

Don't think so - think you can only get it from running PoE.

For what it's worth, I need some Strange Coins and have been threatening to run PoE for the last 2 weeks. So give me a shout if you want to run through it.

I'll dust off he Gjallarhorn so!

Can you get PoE exotics from the legacy engrams Xur sells? I have yet to get the Queensbreaker bow and he's selling legacy special engrams this weekend.

FWIW he is also selling the following:
Immolation Fists
Radiant Dance Machines
THE STAG
SUROS Regime

The Stag is so "Meh" I actually had to remind myself of what it's actual perk is

Legacy engrams will NOT give POE exotics.

I've to run this weeks POE 32 for the Qodron Grimoire, and a few more to get to Variks to level 2 for the ships. I'll be around tonight hopefully to run if you's are interested

Not denying this, but do you have a source? Seen a lot of reddit comments about it but nothing concrete

Year 2 Truth

Actually G-Horn would still be doing more damage since you're over levelled by such a degree that the incremental overall light level difference of being say 310 instead of 295 would not offset the overall better damage of the G-horn.

Maths Yo!

I got a dregs promise from the legacy engram this morning, I think that was a POE exotic. 31 Strange coins is a tad on the high side though.

might be worth stoking up on a few gauntlet engrams in prep for the spring update - with 3 exotic gauntlets from TTK still to be released - could hit in spring.

I thought the engrams were set only to the current loot tables at the time of dropping. So if you keep them you'll still only get exotics available right now.

people on Reddit say they got TwighLight Garrison out of a stock pile of engrams the day it was released.

I THINK they are restricted to the exotics of the game version they come from - so an exotic engram now can only ever return a TTK exotic - but it is likely the spring update will still be a TTK game; not a new game version.

Ruin Wings. int 23, dis 28.
Mask of the Third Man. int 31, dis 30.
Light Beyond Nemesis. int 60

Is it not bang on 10am?

Just checked the Destiny app on my phone and noticed it had updated.

when the reset is at 10, yes. reset is at 9 at the moment because of the difference is DST.

Whats a DST?

daylight savings.

Forgot to say, stock up on 3oC if you're playing Iron Banner!

Is it worth it using 3oC's in IB?

It feels like about 1 in 7 from all anecdotal evidence I've seen here/chat/personally/reddit.

You'll see people touting it as being 1 in 5
But for every one of those, there's a comment saying another person thinks its 1 in 10.

If you popped 25 and didn't get 3 exotics, I'd be fairly suprised myself.
But bar in mind that you NEED to wait 10 mins.

A lot of games of Rift, Crimson Doubles etc don't last 10 mins, so popping one every match wasn't ideal

At this stage I've kinda given up on them, they just feel like another worthless, to me, money sink.

As long as you have 60+ Strange Coins, you're never going to be "Short" for Xur.
Might aswell use em on 3oC

Actually running out of strange coins.

Umm, how

I think you play more than me and I've a couple hundred

Took big hit when TTK dropped first. Kept buying exotic helmet engrams. Ended up with about 15 in my vault. this was before I was 310+ so I kept getting lower LL ones. Running out is probably relative I'd have more than a hundred.
