Went farming for the Grasp of Malok yesterday, after about 4.5hrs including breaks and that, we ended with 5, only 1 with a decent roll was mine:) and also a couple of class items. Doesn't really feel like that much of a grind to be fair but you do have to give it a bit of time, good laugh and it becomes pretty robotic. 2 hunters using tether and 1 titan, we started with the titan throwing hammers after the first tether but ended up settling on a weapons of light bubble.

Titan drops bubble close to Omnigul, first hunter tethers, all 3 pass through bubble with swords and just go ham on her ass, 2 lads had exotic swords, I was using a legendary and also Invective, second tether and grab more weapons if needed. We actually downed her a few times on the first tether, it's a bit hit and miss as to how long the tether was lasting. You get legendary engram drops so that's some legendary marks. Ghost with extra glimmer for hive and black wax idol and I think I banked well over 20K in glimmer, quickly spending it on weapon parts as I went. We needed to be making journeys back to the tower to keep the inventory's clear (or just use an item manager).

Thats good going getting that amount of them. Did it the other day for a while , I actually find it good craic (got the bond no grasp), went from around 2k glimmer to 25k in that time. Also if you got a ghost for the cosmodrome you can get spinmetal when you pick up engrams.

The exotic sword quest has you farm planetary materials for about an hour, maybe a little more.

The ToM is incredibly painful...
First you have to farm 50 Hadium Flakes on the Dreadnought, which takes a balls load of time, then you have to find each of the Calcified Fragments - which really took a huge chunk of the enjoyment out of the game for me.

So much so, that I have about 90% of the Chaperone, Sleeper Stimulant and exotic sword quests done but I'm just not arsed to finish them.

Literally all I have to do for the Chaperone is the Shield Brothers strike, the Sword is waiting on some other bullsh!t strike but realistically the ToM and planetary material farming really got to me.

Ah chimp the exotic sword qquest last step does be a laugh, me and gimli done all 3 and thankfully havent had too many issues running it cos we know it so well now I'll do that one with ya if you want :P

At the time everyone was farming the Pilgrim - I took a break.

I am happy to play a bit of Destiny now with the very occasional lost weekend to it.

Well the grasp is a fairly easy one, hour of that and glimmer, spinmetal, engrams a plenty.

Other than than, nightfall is really the way to go.

Yeah, as far as I know only the Prison gives that rep. At least at this stage you can beat level35 (including) skolas in less than 30mins.

There's a quest involving the wolves which is also linked to the Petra quest that gains rep since TTK, I haven't been tracking what increases I made but I'm gonna guess it's probably just 1 level.

Didn't know about this, handy tip for some on here.

I usually use legendary marks to get stuff off the quartermaster fella (beside DO faction).

I find it handy as sometimes have loads of marks to burn, depending on the week of course, how much I've played...

It's strange coins I be looking for though. I've 5 atm, how do you get loads of these?

I got lucky with one ghost, give's me glimmer for defeating hive, and its also a spinmetal detector. So you can change the detect one to give spinmetal when finding engrams on the cosmodrome.

I think the general consensus is level 28 POE if I remember right.

It's motes of light in my case, did CE last night and got 13 after changing the shards but that included 2 armour and 1 weapon, so that was a decent haul, really you'd expect less in a run.

Also just figured out you get 5 motes for a public event, anyone know if that's just once per character per day or can I farm these?

this about covers it. PoE 28 is probably the quickest way most guaranteed way to get a lot provided you have the keys but doing the reef bounties to get keys can be a pain. NF if you're lucky could land you a truckload real fast.

You can farm public events as much as you like

...message received from the Tower...

THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT

We received your report about players who were behaving in a way that made Destiny less fun and have taken action! Your concern for the player experience is most appreciated. Bungie remains committed to providing a fun and fair Destiny experience for everyone.

LEARN MORE ABOUT BUNGIE'S PLAYER RESTRICTION POLICY

Pretty sure we came up against a lag switcher in trials on Saturday and received this email last night, would Bungie be this quick to act. I had the video saved on my console to follow this up but just used the in game reporting tool at the time.

I might submit the video just to see if it was related and maybe get a glimpse of their response time on such stuff.

PlainP

Thanks for all the advice, I'll do all those things...

Not requouting as I'm on my sh1tty phone

What do Etheric Light and Token of Flight/Might/Blight/Heights exchange for again? Pointless Rep?
I need to clear some vault space

gimli2112

I reported someone for abuse before and got a similar response within a week. I do know someone who reported someone maliciously several times and afaik Bungie never responded.

Wasn't etheric light something to do with a now defunct way of levelling up? The rest you exchange for ships, shaders, class items and other useless stuff. I just use them for rep.

Generic Dreadhead

I report people (instead of just giving out about it for 12 minutes) all the time and never get any thing back.

What's Abuse? Were they spamming you? I spam people all the time.

My new thing is REALLY bad insults..... like "You're clan title has an unusually large amount of characters in it's title compared to other clans"

F**king REKT!

Mayhem rumble is the weekly playlist. If anyone wants/needs to finish off their subclass specific crucible quest (for the emblems) then they should jump in - loads of grenades and supers.
Just watch out for Cuhlcannon's trip mine laser show!!

gimli2112

Nah it was my old clan. Things went crazy near the end. I was being called an Irish cn*t. I can be but was innocent this time. Tbh I made sure my responses had been ok before I reported it.

Generic Dreadhead

Well..... f**king hell O_O

F**k that for a game of soldiers

I often message players who are level 2 to 5 in the tower saying "Welcome "

Normally they are happy out with it and say "Thanks " etc
But then one time in the response I got called a Pedo and told they were glad my mother was dead and yadda yadda

It was the fastest escalation of things ever.

dudeeile

You can use etheric light to rank up with the queen but why bother if you have already unlocked all access to her items. These were once a very valuable so I'm holding on to a few just in case.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

Looks like SBMM has been removed and we're back to connection based.

I was doing well in Rumble last night, so I'm assuming this is why...

At least this will improve the lag, remove some of the saltyness...

Yeah, I see no point in that, she only sells rubbish

Are you sure you didn't wander into COD by mistake? I loved COD but the stuff people said to each other was insane at times.
I haven't had any real issues with anyone on Destiny as far as I remember. Other than people I knew well which wasn't Destiny's fault.

BLOPS3 is Still in the box, I'd actually like to play it but in 4 player and do Zombies for fun.
I'd get pretty bored playing solo.

Yes, the Variks tokens give you 10rep towards house of judgement. If you get to level 3 with Variks you can unlock the shaders, I really like those ones.

I keep the etheric light, I like to use the year1 weapons when messing around, might aswell be on max.
