An Emblem, and most likely the ornament for the exotic shotgun.
Don't need anything Xur is selling. Hopefully in the future Xur will have more variety in the stuff it sells. Who am I kidding, anything interesting will be put in Eververse. It is what it is though.
Iron Banner armor looks cool, no weapons though? Guess they need to hold that back for November IB. Will anything unique be made available from Prestige Raid? We'll find out soon enough and, imo, that will truly solidify what direction Bungie is taking D2 in.

Right it looks like all the prestige raid will give is a gold version of the armor and Calus shader, an emblem, and an ornament for the raid shotgun.
Can't have people feeling left out you know.

Only Zavala and the raid have Cluster Bomb rockets. I don't know about tracking.
I think Im only missing like 3 exotic weapons besides the raid one so Xur is gonna be pretty boring from here on outwtf am I supposed to do with all these shards?
I'm in the same spot, got pretty much all the armour pieces too.
Hopefully they give Xur more swag, already have like over a 1000 shards.

I have every weapon except Borealis and Xur isn't going to carry that ever I assume. I need two pieces of Warlock gear and three each on Titans and Hunters. I've been pretty lucky with exotics, if only I could get a 300 Warlock robe or 300 Titan mark I could hit 305 on a character.
Man, the progression when you hit 265 really sucks. There's no point in really even playing the game, even legendary Engrams are insignificant. I know it gets better, but I went from having a blast to not even wanting to play.
It's fucking ridiculous that I'm at 269 all of the gear that drops is 263, and legendary engrams are 265. All I can do is flashpoint and nightfall, then I guess I'm done for the week.
Played about an hour and a half last night, got my flashpoint milestone. Oh great, an exotic, so if I want to equip I have to unequal a different exotic, so my light level stays the same. Super cool. There's no reason to play until next week now. This sucks.
Edit:I hate PVP too.

The Titan women is too!
LOL pass.
Just infuse the exotic into the corresponding weapon/armour piece - getting lucky with exotic drops that are higher than what you currently have in that slot is a good way to creep your PL up.
Destiny is a game that tries to have something for everyone, not surprised some at some of the backlash. While D2 is not perfect, I find the histrionics about D1 perplexing, talk about looking back with some rose tinteds or perhaps this is psychological akin to Stockholm syndrome - I recall a game with absolutely no respect for your time and while fun it was an unrewarding affair.
One thing is true, the ball is in Bungo's court, meaningful content updates would go a long way to keeping folks engaged.
Hmmm. Good thing the game tells you fuck all about how infusions work. I have exotic legs that are like 272, and I got an exotic chest that is 280, what do I infuse, and what does it get me?

Noob question: Is it safe dismantle exotics before reaching light 265?

Anyone know when we're getting our light back?
You can get them back for 10 legendary shards and some glimmer.

I always thought that this "respecting time" thing was a bullshit catchphrase that in the context of video games never made sense (to me).
Year 1 Destiny 1 was Bestiny. I also found it way more rewarding. You did not get meaningless crap all the time - you got NOTHING!
BUT! When you finally did get something (So almost never)...... OH BOY! That was exciting! THAT WAS REWARDING.
If I can choose between getting 100 Monopoly Dollars every day or 100 actual US Dollars a month I´ll go for the latter.
Getting garbage is not rewarding.
You can only infuse legs into legs, chests into chests, scout rifles into scout rifles etc etc but basically the easiest way to check is to press Y or triangle on the gear you want to infuse & move the cursor over the infuse section - which I think will be the left most option (beside where you put on shaders & mods).
It'll show you what you've got for that slot, what you can infuse & what you can't (won't be able to infuse if the items PL is too low or its base PL is too low). Basically if it lets you hold down X or square to infuse then you'll raise the PL of the item you pressed Y/triangle on.
Hope that kind of makes sense - play around with it as if you're just around 269 PL then you've got nothing to lose really. Any exotics you dismantle you'll be able to get them back again later by going to the collections tab in the vault. I'm not the best at explaining things but yeah give it a go

Once you pay your Bill
Also really?, Waking up and swing no IB weapons, what?
You rebadged all the Faction Rally weapons with Faction insignia from gun models prior, yet can't be asked to create one for each class and throw an IB logo on it and call it a day
So now you won't earn anything at end of a match during IB Loot wise?
Hows that enticing?
If people could earn their gear while playing, then using their tokens and hope RNG rolls in their favor for missing pieces.
Now to see how much winning team gets and losing team
I'm guessing 5 for win, 2 for loss or if they really want to casual it up 10 Win, 5 loss
20 Tokens trade in still.
So 2 wins or 4 losses nets you a package
What's this about?

yeah this is what where I'm at. I would happily run strikes repeatedly if there was some chance a higher light legendary would drop. Fucking gladly! But apparently that's a no go.
Even if I wanted to hold out for higher level exotic drops for infusion, I can just run publics for the same reward -- which is convenient, I guess, but nowhere near as fun.
I dunno, I really hate what they did to strikes this time. Maybe I'm in the minority, but they were my favourite part of TTK. (I never had a group for a raid.)

I read the questions and answer wrong, brain hasn't fully started up, oh wells, hope this info helps others
Its 5 Shards
10 Legendary Shards to buy back an Exotic from Collections
5 for Exotic, 3 from Legendary, 1 from Legendary Mod for dismantle purposes

I know I'm late to this, but wow is Actium War Rig and Sweet Business together a ton of fun. You just shoot and shoot and shoot until nothing is left standing or you run out of ammo whichever happens first.

If your base 300 or 305, it will matter, until then it's nothing
Vendors rotate their Engram PL from 295-300 including the weapon from exotic quest
You have to hit soft base cap to get it working in your favor
Once your 305, there's websites where people input info to let others know which Vendor is at 300
It's universal for everyone, but you have to be again at soft cap of base 300 or 305 with mods
For max level player the Factions cycle between 295-300 Power Level engrams, every 30 minutes they randomly change.

Every 30 min or something the vendors cycle the power level of the engrams you can receive once you're base 300.
So when that vendor is offering 300 level engrams, you can just spam your tokens and receive a bunch of 300 items (sometimes 305).

How have they not released a Heroic/Prestiege set of Strikes yet lol. They should have been included with the base game tbh. Having them be at 140 still is such a waste of content that becomes almost worthless once your level 20. Hell they don't even have Heroic versions of the story missions to replay, which is what the memory thing should have been each week from Zavala.
Yeah It's kind of bullshit. It's like once you hit 265 they gate off all the content you were having fun with, and force you to only do one or two things for a couple weeks. How long does it take to get through this hump? It's honestly killed all of the fun I was having and is burning me out.

Finally got my Warlock to 292... but spent all my glimmer and shards upgrading my secondary weapons so now I have nothing left for Xur.. the grind is real!
LOL - too rewarding?
They better give me tokens for losing, otherwise, I'm not wasting my time. I normally like to play solo and knock games out - win or lose.
Its not just Flashpoint and NF. Theres also a Powerfful engram drop for completing your weekly clan XP contribution, theres another for completing the Raid, theres Call to Arms (play 5 PvP games roughly), theres Trials. All of these will give you 1 powerful weapon AND an armor piece, so leveling up isnt hard at all once you check them off your list.
Ultimately though, dont be fooled into thinking the fun in the game is making an arbitrary number move higher. Power level is ultimately inconsequential outside of Prestige activities, also dont let that get in the way of your fun. If what you like is playing Strikes, then play Strikes! So what if the little meaningless numbers dont move higher?
