Nice exotic armor piece offerings from possibly the last sale of Year 1 Xur.

Patience and Time might become more popular depending on how the Community perceive the nerf to the exotic hand cannons in the upcoming patch. It's quite possible that many members of the community will overstate their nerfs. I currently use Patience and Time as my exotic choice in PvP on longer ranged maps like Shores of Time and Pantheon as The Messenger is my primary weapon of choice.

Xur does hate Warlocks doesn't he? All armour has been sold except for The Ram.

So I think I am going to start a hunter. Is there a good reason to buy the Nighthawk now, last Xur day before TTK? Or should I just save my coins, wait until the expansion drops next week and hope it returns sometime?

Or should I just save my coins, wait until the expansion drops next week and hope it returns sometime? I'd say just go ahead and buy it now, especially if you're sitting on plenty of coins. That way you can buy the year 2 version any time you want from the blueprint kiosk thing for 125 Legendary marks instead of having to wait on Xur/RNG to give it to you.

Xur jacked up price on heavy ammo synthesis, hmm… Strange Coins appear to be plentiful across a variety of activities so this price hike might be just to stop people trading in heavy ammo to rank up factions (99% of Destiny players doing that for Dead Orbit for their weird shaders). The conversions are there to control inflation for excess currencies rather than be their sole use. Wonder if Variks will give his weekly payout when TTK drops. I've always looked forward in picking up the Judgment's Honor (rank 3) each week because you got a fair bit each week even if you didn't really need any of it, it's better than most of what the Cryptarch gives you.

I have yet to even hit judgement rank 2 on any of my characters. So you can get a free package every week after reaching rank 2+? What does it usually contain? And the higher the rank the better the payout?

I don't know the exact payout but it goes something like this: Rank 2 each week - 10 Helium Filaments, 10 Spinmental Leaves, 3 Ether Seeds, some Glimmer Rank 3 each week - 20 Relic Iron, 20 Spinmetal Leaves, 20 Spirit Bloom, 4 Ether Seeds, Etheric Light (chance), two heavy ammo synthesis packs I've not looked at each payout but some of the ones I've had at rank 3 were decent.

Nice to see Xur is atoning for his past transgressions, giving his favourite MeisterKlahss the new TTK exotic.
Remember: unless you're a collector, stay away from the legacy item... It won't give you year 1 exotics at year 2 values.

For people who missed Gjallarhorn sale however( Pegasus Actual, iw5000), this is a good time to get it. Bungie promises to priotize the drop on the ones you dont already have, so if Gjallarhorn is the only heavy you are missing, you should be able to get it within a few tries. Also, if you are missing Thunderlord or Truth, it is a good time to get them too, considering they can be upgraded to Y2. I still need the warlock HoW gauntlet for my collection, patiently waiting for Xur to bring Legecy gauntlet engram to the tower…

I don't have the riches to waste on digging up some dusty old Gjallarhorn, wittyscorpion. Those Strange Coins are going into Three of Coins year 2 exotic farming, thank you very much.

Would it be worth us starting a Year 2 Xur thread, to keep current pertinent info easy to find? (And finally be done with all the Gjallarhorn teeth gnashing)

I have a suggestion: let's do what markopolo has been doing, create 1 thread per week, but now to track everything for that week: 1) Nightfall; (no longer need to track heroic) 2) PoE; (provided people still care) 3) Vendor items: - Gunsmith Arms Day orders; - Variks sale items (provided people still care); - Vance ToO rewards (after ToO returns); 4) Xur inventory; 5) Any weekly bounties/quests that are interesting, including the Crucible ones; The thread does not have to include everything. Everybody feels free to bring up anything worthy of discussion, and just let the conversation flow freely. How does that sound?

I'd be interested to know what people get for Nightfalls to see if it's worth me bothering with them these days, especially if Etheric Light is somehow in the loot table still.

Haven't done one yet, but from what I've seen the rewards are about the same as always: exotics, legendary weapons, and legendary engrams. All things that'll potentially be useful to get your light score up. Apparently 6-12 strange coins are still a reward as well, which is fairly shitty considering you get 5 of them from every faction package. I'm think there might be other rewards as well (runes for court of oryx?), but I can't recall.

Q: Is it true that even the exotics in Y2 now have random rolls for perks as well?

I'm think there might be other rewards as well (runes for court of oryx?), but I can't recall. I guess the lesser amounts of Strange Coins as a reward is because they are more plentiful elsewhere and the Nightfalls have been getting easier and easier over time to the point where it was more frequent that the Weekly Heroic was actually 'harder' than the Nightfall. I've heard on Reddit you can actually get one Strange Coin but I'll ask for feedback there a few weeks later as people are concentrating on the Raid.

Whatever people want wittyscorpion. I don't mind doing it. My work started blocking this site so I'm not posting as much but I don't mind. One nice thing about this thread is that we can go back and reminisce. Just lemme know if you want me to stop
