Has anyone traded in Spin Metal or Spirit Bloom with Xur? The description makes it seem he will give an Exotic item.
 
Thanks! I've just bought the Helm of Inmost Light. I'm finally Level 26!

If anyone wants to Raid with me, I'm available!

I've also spent 23 Motes of Light on an Exotic Engram, which gave me an armor piece for my Warlock. I'm starting to regret it. What was I even expecting?

Exotic chests don't seem very interesting.

Of the two Hunter can get, there's one up and the other lets you revive faster (reviving is pretty damn fast already) and you drop extra orbs of light. That's it
All I care about for the moment is the higher base light of Exotics- and I'd be jumping straight from a rare. It would put me 2/3 to 27 without any upgrades. Consider it a welfare exotic if you must, I'd even consider dismantling it one day to upgrade another.

It's just the chance of it being for another class that makes me hesitate.
Is it?

It seems a lot. Only have 10k glimmer after finishing the game
look at the shot where I was buying
that's after buying a couple ammo packs and that 2401 glimmer coin. There are consumable items that make you gain glimmer at an alarming rate.

Xur has the helm of inmost light? Damn, I'm kinda miffed that I'm not that special anymore now lol (helm dropped a few days ago for me).

And that kinda gives me nothing to buy with my strange coins too...
 
Whats the easiest way to get strange coins? Got 11, need 2 more. Today! :D

Xur sells one for glimmer then farm. You can also get another two with 77 spin metal or spirit blooms

Just buy the one on sale. Unless you don't have the coins. The alternative isn't that much better.

At that point, you don't really need it anyway. Most of the high-end stuff is bought with Vanguard Marks.

The major currencies are

Vanguard Marks
Crucible Marks
Motes of Light
Strange Coins

and engrams. you pay them to the Cryptarch to be made fun of.

Got that exotic helm mmm delicious.

I bought the exotic engram but it gave me some crap for a hunter and I'm a Titan. Oh well, happy with that helm!

I like the Titan helmet. It will be good for PVP but I'd rather have something that helps me with my Defender Subclass right now. You know to have more survivability during the raid. Oh well maybe next week.
 

hemo memo

You can't die before your death
oh.

A Strange Coin is 2401 glimmer- but he'll only sell you one.

Buy it every week. Everyone go do it right now. 2401 glimmer is nothing.

Every week? Fantastic. Now only 3 Coins more and I can buy my first exotic gear. All rare right now :(

Same here, already got the helm through RNG luckily enough. I'd rather have the gauntlets from last week. Only warlock got the same stuff.

Did buy an exotic engram and got The Armamentarium for my titan so I got nothing to complain though lol.

I rather gamble. Thanks.

Exactly. The stuff you get from the speaker for motes is useless bullshit and the prices for them are way too high. Gambling on the exotic engram is a better idea. Even if it isn't for the class you play right now you at least have something ready should you level up another class.

roll that three-sided die.

it's okay Xûr. I know that you, unlike him, will at least always give me the item of the same color as the one the item looks like before it becomes that item. And you can't control the fates. I took a gamble and lost. I look forward to your next visit, thank you for the valuable services you bring to this community.

Is the glimmer/coin exchange confirmed for everyone? If so, holy hell, I have 12 strange coins now so that's perfect! Exotic here I come!

I got that titan armamentium chest or whatever it's called.

I'm hunter.

It's fine I guess, had enough coins to buy that rasberry thing instead. And should be able to get 5 more coins for gjallahorn before he dissapears with not too much trouble
