Yup, farming relic iron... Painful.

I have 4 out of 10 found for about a month now, not sure if I'll bother finishing it out. Pointless grinding for no other reason.

I must have spent 2 hours farming relic iron on Saturday and got 3. THREE!!!
The other seven came relatively quickly.
Then realised I was a sunsinger and had zero ability kills.

Opted for the solar one myself , was pleased to see it was 310. For some reason I thought it was going to be 290.

Got the mats but I still have to get void ability kills. I'm only at 30% - don't remember it taking so long before but I guess I had the firey and smashy titan so they racked up quick.

You should see the void do its job when you do the black spindle quest, insta clear out of ads

Yeah I've seen someone use it. It's the last sword I need to get and I'm slowly working on it. Still need about another 15 Crucible kills and then I can move onto material gathering. Oh joy! :pac:

Any of you guys watch streams of destiny?

I was watching a guy last night called Real Kraftyy play Trials. He was helping seemingly random people get to the Lighthouse. Fairly cool as it seemed to be him vs three other guys the whole time.

Mayhem is the way to go. Got one of those Mars maps with tight corridors and massacred people.

DaveNoCheese

I've noticed a higher volume of people at the CoO lately... Assume it's down to all the new guardians we acquired over christmas......although a majority of them were level 40.

Yeah, I probably watch more than I play at this stage. Kraftyy is great. I watched him get an 8 year old Guardian to the Lighthouse last week. He's one of the best players out there.

I think he had the same kid on again last night! It was priceless, either that or it was a replay or something, i'm not quite up to speed with twitch yet.

The kid was fairly sharp too!

Have a question about a part (possibly) of a mission. My warlock has always been FWC since TTK launched. Last week, Zavala (I think) told me to change alliegence to Dead Orbit, saying something along the lines of "we need to find out what they're up to / keep an eye on them". What's this about? Nothing has happened since I moved to them.

I think I had a quest line where I had to join each of the factions, or complete a mission for each of them... Can't really remember what happened with that.

I believe there is also a faction quest that awards an exotic class item, which can be worn with another exotic armour item.

You need to be level 25 with the faction to start these. Seriously grindy.

Or costly, buy heavy ammo synths from Variks for 1 etherseed + less glimmer, use all your legendary marks to buy planet mats (donate the weekly one to your faction), Use strange coins to buy heavy ammo synths.

What I don't get it though, it then just gives you more faction rep to that faction, after level 25 chances are you have all the shaders/ships/gear anyways

this one caught my eye

2) Astrocyte Verse
Teleportation: Reduces Blink cooldown and increases travel distance.

Shotgun users rejoice, I'll be playing Borderlands!

Big list

Warlocks:

1) Ophidian Aspect: Probably the best one of them all,

Improved Energy Drain, and weapons ready and reload very quickly.

Basically Quickdraw + Force Barrier's Reload speed and Skull of Dire Ahamkara combined, what else do you need???

Link: https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Detail?type=item&item=1062853751&itemname=Ophidian%20Aspect

2) Astrocyte Verse

Teleportation: Reduces Blink cooldown and increases travel distance.

Yep... And you though Blink was bad? Say hello to your new hemet, not with 100% more Salt induction, on the enemy!

Link: https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Detail?type=item&item=2778128366&itemname=Astrocyte%20Verse

3) Transversive Steps: Finally, Walocks too can have some classy boots to step on people!

Strange Angles: Gain faster movement speed while crouching. Picking up ammo automatically reloads the weapon matching that ammo's type.

These are not as exciting as the other, sure, but they might come in handy during Trials and Sweaties where stealth approaches and having weapons with reloaded magaine is always important

Link: https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Detail?type=item&item=2275132880&itemname=Transversive%20Steps

Titans:

1) Dunemarchers: Hope you like running! The fastest class in the game now gets the best boots in the game (in my opinion)!

Speed Demon: Increased sprint speed, increased movement speed while aiming your weapon, and tighter turn radius while sprinting.

Yep! Pair this with Striker, Titan Skating and Mida and nothing will be even able to reach you

Link: https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Detail?type=item&item=2479526175&itemname=Dunemarchers

2) Hope you like to punch stuff.... A lot!!! Cause this massive pair of Gauntlets will make you do that!!! The Thagomizers!

One-Two Punch: Unlocks the Striker subclass node Amplify for free. You gain an additional melee charge.

Yep, not much to say...

Hunters

1) Shinobu's Vow. You like Nothing Manacles (pre nerf edition)??? Then this set of gloves might fit you!!!.... Maybe... I don't really know you...

New Tricks: Improves Skip Grenade and you gain an additional Skip Grenade charge.

We don't really know what "improves" means, but, if it's anything even close to what the Manacles used to be.... THis gon be good

Link: https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Detail?item=2217280774&itemname=Shinobu%27s%20Vow

2) Fr0st-EE5: even more boots!!! Hope you like running, cause this boots are good for that!

Rapid Cooldown: Tighter turn radius while sprinting. Increased grenade and melee regeneration while sprinting.

I had a look at the Bungie.net armory and it also showed other year 1 exotics such as the "glasshouse" helmet now at 310 aswell, so there might be even more!

Is the exotic sword quest really that bad. Im on the part where i need 50 major kills and 20 pvp kills i think. What else is involved after this. Im currently 295 light. Is it worth doing? Will it push me over 300?

You'll get a 310 sword for your heavy slot. Probably won't push you over 300 but will get you close.
The next leg is the worst. You have to farm planet materials (and get ability kills). This doesn't sound bad. Trust me it is. After that you have to do a lvl 42 strike under certain conditions and y'er done.
It is worth it though.

Now this is crazy. Someone won a Trials match with 26 kills and zero deaths solo.

I have to kill 3 guys now to fight some other boss i think. The crucible kills actually werent that bad in the end. The farming sounds pretty bad alright. Once i get to 301 light do exotic engrams decrypt at 310?

They have a chance to but you'll still get a lot of 290's. Once you get to 311 or above you are almost guaranteed 310 but apparently there's still a low chance of 290.

Forgot about that part. It's easy enough. You do the quest which is really the start of the sunless cell. You'll get to a door that's locked. Kill all the adds and leave the three knights. You need to kill them all within 10 seconds of each other to open the door. Boss is just up the road then.
Alternatively bring Jonny with you and get him to do all the heavy lifting like I did.
