He's in tower north now, before the bridge on the way to the speaker
My exotic helm for my Titan
And my Titan is finally decked out in all legendaries and exotic gear
Okay, that's pretty damn badass!

Buy them? With what?
Ah really? That's cool that they're moving him around haha
Yeah that's a downside but the upside is that it might be an exotic piece of armor for another class as I intend on playing with the other two classes I've yet to try with. Or it might just be that I prefer the look of it than the helmet if it's a Titan armor.
I just want to spend my Motes is all. :lol
17 Strange Coins apparently.

fuuuuuuck! I'd have loved that. That thing has mad disipline. That plus praise the sun + radience = nades all day. ;_; Maybe next week if I can get enough motes ;_;
Exotic helm is 13 coins like the rest which is bullshit because helms cost more from the other vendors.
A note on alt progression in Destiny.
I have the above exotic in my vault.
When my Warlock hits 20, he will likely be in all greens. I will then equip this chest. He will then be level 21. With two upgrades, neither of which cost any Ascendant materials, he will be almost at 22. Then, equipping a single upgraded level 20 blue, he will be 23. If I get a single Warlock armor drop on my Hunter before the Warlock hits 20, this will all happen in a matter of minutes.
This will get silly quite rapidly.
anybody feel like farming some engrams

I've added you - I may now have a group going, but will definitely keep an eye out for future.
Gaffer's seem awesome to play with in general.
Xur sells strange coins for 2401 glimmer each one time per week only. But you can buy one per character so just create 3 and buy 3 then pop them in your vault.

Add me as well I need some UK GAF on XB1. GT is VE3TRO
You can trade him for Spinmetal and another material as well for coins, can't you?
Of course, it's just another ridiculous decision by bungee that will be changed
This is the chest I've been wanting. Will probably gamble on it tomorrow. Otherwise you can dismantle that armor for some ascendant energy/shards to use to upgrade your own gear.
Got this bad boy. Shame I'm a dam hunter! Lol
Good shout. If true then with a bit of grinding and character switching that's 9 coins available to buy/trade per week.
Just tried on my new warlock, this works. Glimmer is account-bound and the coins are available at level 2. Coins can be stored in the vault.
*sigh*
Guys, I believe a form of infinite (ineffable flow of time notwithstanding) coin farming exists for the moment, for the next 40 hours or so if you have the patience and inclination.
If your third character slot is unused, make a character and bring him or her to the tower, buy a coin and deposit. You'll have to sit through the first mission and flight to the tower. Then delete the character and repeat. When you run out of glimmer, farm it on your main and continue.
I will not be doing this. But there you go.
30,000% better idea than engram farming
Never twigged you were UK too. Might harass you now on then!

Wow another Legendary engram, thats the 3rd this morning by playing Strikes.
Shame it's for gauntlets because I already purchased the Vanguard versions.
I added you. I live in Spain but I'm from the UK, I hate playing matchmaking because I keep getting matched with Spanish or French.

What does Light stat gives you?
I wish you'd never told me that... must resist.
That sounds like a bitch to go through the tutorial mission / cutscenes and then farm a bit to get glimmer and only buy one coin. No thanks haha.
It levels you up.
Intolerable from my perspective. But people with nothing to do will be able to go hogwild and stockpile coins right now.
Kind of expect this to be patched maybe even by Xur's next visit.
Levels above 20
nice dude, what's the engram for sale too? please be gauntlets or helm!

For reference my Warlock which I created then got to the tower has a play time of 8 minutes.

Oh, nice table!
*starts calculating*
26 this evening, 27 tomorrow! Raid i come!
chest piece, lawlll

Is that because your Legenday is upgraded, where as the Exotic is not (yet?)
If that is the case, then you can do the following:
- Go around your normal missions/strikes/bounties etc in your Legendary gear
- Before handing in your bounties, CHANGE your gear for stuff that needs ranking up (anything that has a yellow box around it, change)
- This means the XP that you gain is attributed to the items/weapons you have equipped at the time of handing it in
A neat tip a Gaffer taught me

Nice table.
But what does a higher level give you? Showing off?
LOL ffs. How many coins is the chest piece?
Engrams scare me anyway, what weapons has Xur got for sale and how much?
I have 25 strange coins to spend!
The exotic chest engram is 23 motes of light.
Exotic weapon this week is Gjallarhorn (rocket launcher) for 17 strange coins.
hahaha I really like that idea.
Effects of Light-leveling:
- In any scenario which your level is compared to the mob you are fighting, you do more damage and take less damage. This effect is immediate upon "crossing" the next level.
- Your personal loot table seems totally dependent on your light level. I didn't see a single piece of Lvl 20 rare gear until hitting 22. now, a majority of my drops are 19 and 20 gear.
- Unlocks content. The raid requires level 26.
Yeah apparently he moves around though. Go visit the Speaker and follow the crowd.
My main class is a Hunter. I have enough strange coins to buy the chest piece..should I? I don't have a single piece of legendary or exotic armor currently. Just not sure if I should buy this or try and hold off in case there's something better next week.. Or I could gamble with the engram and hope to get something better and save my coins for the gun he sells next week.
Haha never thought of that but yeah still better than Engram farming xD Can't wait to see people stream that procedure on Twitch for a couple of hours!
Play to have fun? What's that?!
rare armor upgrade = +1 light
Legendary armor upgrade = +2 light
Exotic armor upgrade = not sure yet.
