DriftKaiser Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Taken me far too long to find bloody xur! What's he best way to obtain strange coins to spend at him atm BTW? They moved Xur from the reef to the Tower Hanger this afternoon. Public Events, complete the bounties for Vanguard/Crucible, Nightfall.
Rummy Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Cheers, guess I'll have to just keep doing my bounties etc. How long does a 3 of coins last once its been consumed - can Taken Champions count for it in patrol too?

It lasts forever, until it is redeemed by killing an ultra. And yeah, champions count.
Rummy Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 It lasts forever, until it is redeemed by killing an ultra. And yeah, champions count. Thanks. Killed 3 or 4 of them last night(well, as late as i was here) in various locations with 3oC but no engram drop so far, might buy another 5-10 today and run some strikes hoping for the best.
Rummy Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 6x3oCoins down - still no exotics -.- Telesto is indeed quite fun though, enjoying it even still just at 280. Need to work hard on getting my strange coins up for more 3oC going forward, really hoping it works out with some exotics for me.
Nolan Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I can usually get a single drop out of about 10 coins. Sometimes a second one.
Rummy Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Yeah, after 8 coins just got my first drop! Was from a taken champ. If I log off/turn off after the coin I last popped just stay active or is there still a timeout(as didn't kill an ultra)? Edited December 5, 2015 by Rummy
Rummy Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Yeah it says active even if you log off. Thanks, ran the level 10 moon strike just as a close out as it's fairly short and easy just in case. It did get me to thinking though - is the drop rate identical across all ultras? Could you just run the easy/faster strikes if leaving enough time between them/killing the ultra to avoid the nerfing effect they put in?
Nolan Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I'm not really sure if drop rates scale with levels or not. But running the vanguard strike playlist is probably a better idea because you'll have a better chance of legendary drops if you don't get the exotic.

But running the vanguard strike playlist is probably a better idea because you'll have a better chance of legendary drops if you don't get the exotic. Didn't think of that, though I'm trying mostly to use the 3oC passively with whatever I'm doing anyway(for some stupid reason, I find myself really drawn to spawning and killing Taken champions...think I blame Petra :p). Speaking of which I'll probs run some Prison of Elders most of today for strange coins, using up my keys, and use my 3oC with that? Though I'm running down on them so maybe I'll just run the vanguard strikes as you say, not gonna take up too much time. Also just putting out a potential shout - anyone wanna help me and my mate finish NM (i think)tomorrow eve before it gets reset? Just at the bit with the daughters atm, so not too much to do - easy lootings!
Jimbob Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Sparrow racing league, most certainly a nice surprise there from Bungie.
Rummy Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Yiiisssss! Just cashed the exotic helmet engram 3oC netted me yesterday...came out at 310! Whilst sad I don't have a shard like I wanted, I cannot complain about a 310 for now.
DriftKaiser Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 @Rummy Saw your new helm. Love the Inverse Shadow and Better Already perks for the PvP mode.
Rummy Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Mmm I'm interested to how it goes for me! Just got my second exotic engram from doing PoE - another helmet that came out at 290 for a hunter(mask of the third man?) Vaulted for now but will most likely scrap it at some point - can't see me levelling my hunter up any time soon.
Sheikah Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I'm going to go ahead and start another raid signup for Wednesday. I'm assuming that another challenge mode boss will trigger (but if not, we can just run the raid anyway). It will be hard mode and given there's likely going to be a challenge, trickier than normal. Let's say between 7:30-8 PM (will aim for 7:30 though). Sheikah [space] [space] [space] [space] [space]
Eddage Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I'm in. Is anyone up for getting a group together and trying out the Sparrow Racing League tomorrow?

Rummy Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Alas, I'm gonna be out tomorrow but would love to join I am however still potentially looking for people to help us finish a NM raid from the daughters on, this evening! PSN message me(goes to phone so faster to reply) or hit me up here if interested.
