Any word as to a reward for completing calcified fragments? This week should see most people finish out the 50

It's the Belatine shader.

Whats the best way of levelling up your srl level up to 3? Is there any quick way of doing it other than just racing? Is there gear or emblems to wear like in IB?

Just get the bounties from tess every day and if you manage to get a class item then level it up and wear it. The shaders and emblem don't effect rep as far as I can see. It's a fair bit of a slog to get to level 3 unfortunately.

Shaders add like 5% rep from what I noticed

I wouldn't be surprised if something popped up next week.

Lads, new sparrows in srl come from rank packages or the s class package? Didn't get one from my alts s class package so just curious. Not that I don't adore my flaming pink sparrow like.

I got one from the s class license, that it apart from a fairly crap one that dropped early on.

In lieu of ToM, what weapons (specific or type) are good for tackling Oryx?

If you don't have ToM, then you shouldn't be doing the raid.


:pac: Raid pulse rifle is pretty good, vendor Hung Jury is good too.

So I read over on Reddit the post about Monte Carlo "wrecking it" in crucible, and the guy talks about using his motes for XP in passing. I, like one other day 1 guardian, DID NOT KNOW THIS!!! I blew about 250 across 3 characters last night. Straight to top spot on the list of stupid things I didn't know.

Edit: Didn't give XP to my incomplete subclasses though

Did you not get the comprehensive manual that came with the game?

I found this out late in the day too, seems to work much better on weapons than anything else. Pity we don't have a forum so we could have a "Things I just found out" thread

The motes of light being used for experience has only come in since the taken king was released, it hasn't always been there.

There was a great post here, or possibly a Reddit post with a list of great tips like these.

Anyone remember it? Wouldn't mind reading it again myself.

Daraa

Did really well out of the Challenge mode last night, 320 Hand Cannon, 317 Auto Rifle, 312 Fusion Rifle, 315 Helmet, the Ship & the Emblem.

Once you get the strat down it feels easier than all the others!

Mitch Connor

Tip just seen on Reddit:

For the Oryx fight - have a hunter tether the Ogre spawn spots (particularly 4th spot) with the hunter perk (giving three shots) so that they are 1. Tethered in place and 2. Take even more DPS and go down even quicker.

Not had much of an issue with the Ogres myself - apart from Ogre 4 if they spawn front right cause of all the ads and tomb ship crap at that point/position - but would be a handy help.

That was like Stone in challenge mode last week. We only needed one more orb to kill Golgororth and next thing boom...

I'm up on add duty and get some abuse for not clearing Splody Thralls. Low and behold the dust settles and Stone is standing in the middle of everyone looking around

ha!
what was worse was i did it a second time later. :(

you can tell the story of how i saved the day afterwards by taking the gaze on the last round with a second to spare when someone else forgot to take their turn.

Are any of these any good (or worth keeping), I need to break down some more Year 1 stuff and I'm finding it hard to do so have looked at these 7 for the next wave of cuts:

Trials Year 1 Scout (The Scholar - Not Re-rollable)
Trials Year 1 Sniper (Eye of Sol - Not Re-rollable)
Timurs Lash (Can be Re-rolled)
Black Hammer
The Strangers Rifle
Oversoul Edict
Abyss Defiant

Which would be your number 1 to delete, which would you keep (maybe)

Most of those are **** for Pvp (scholar was decent and Strangers Rifle) so no real reason to keep any of them. But then I have a few things kept in the vault on the off chance that they do some sort of etheric light system toward the back end of year two.

I've kept a few default weapons in case re-rolling them becomes the new Meta (so 2 Archetypes of Fusion Rifles etc)

But these 7, I just can't see a need for, they are poor PvE cause of low light level and their Archtypes and perks don't seem useful for PvP.... I mean I know some people swear by High Impact HCs but I don't like using them. Especially with that God Tier Elysuna I have

You can get the CE weapons in about 5 mins so I'd just drop them without hesitation.
