Did it... It was fun. I dud the one in the Forgotten shore
3 waves, most level 30's, bringfriends, scorch cannon is fun
Spoiler: you have a minute or 2 to find the chest somewhere in the area. Once you find it, leave the area then renter and you can double loot the chest (credit reddit)

that was kind of a letdown.
Waited a while, and then some ships dropped people. Got some cannon to use upon killing something initially. Three other randoms joined. And in about 40 seconds, shit was dead. Including the Baronness. We just stomped things, and i might have got two shots off on the Baroness, before she died. Oh well. Again, a letdown. I had loaded up a lot of good weapons. Never even needed them. She died to fast.
My "Wanted, Drevis, Wolf Baroness" bounty is done i guess. It has an 'x' over it now. We also found the chest about 30 meters away on another ship. But, it said we needed an ethernet key, or something like that. So nothing there.
edit....i cashed it in. I got 312 "Queen's Wrath" Rep points. I guess the Queen's Wrath will work like Eris. As you get to level 1, 2, and so on, you get to unlock different banners, emblems, and other things to help with guns. That's pretty good i think. She was kind of hot, as far as computer things go. (you need 1,000 rep pts for Level 1)
Looking at this more, one can get a nice jump on things doing these bounties early. Each day a new bounty gets unlocked. All are worth 250 rep points. One can be well into level one by the time the DLC drops.
Friday = day 1 Saturday = day 2 Sunday = day 3 Monday = day 4 Tuesday = day 5? Wedneday = day 6?

This farming is one of the most fun I have had in destiny for quite a while. We were with a full fireteam of 6 on venus and just obliterated most wolves. It is not very easy though, and I can see some problems when facing such a group alone (two ppl can be done, but it is HARD!)
Ran around for like 5 hours, the racing, screwing around laughing about random stuff, getting some public events in the meanwhile was great fun. The double dipping chests will probably be patched, but I hope Bungie saw how great sparrow racing can be!

I did a couple of these bounties solo. Come on, it's not really hard at all. Blast the first drop, grab their rocket launchers, then blast away till the boss comes. Then go back to your heavy weapon. Done.

I haven't quite got the hang of those launcher things the first guy drops. I know you can fire and hold to charge. But when are you supposed to stop charging? It just seems like it keeps on charging for a long time and then peters out unexpectedly. Does the damage ramp up continuously or does it cap out at some point. I just dunno what the mechanics are and it's always so nuts with lots of other players shooting everything I haven't been able to tell what's what.
The only part that has seemed tough is that last guy. He's one hell of a bullet sponge. I failed my first one, but there were just two random pubs there and I had only happened across it when I was running Bad Juju and no arc. When I switched my gear and ran with friends they were no problem. I even ran a couple more on Venus with pubs and those went fine too.

Done. Solo as in no fireteam or no guardian around at all? I have never actually tried it solo, but we had a hard time with two players already once. The arc shields just kept coming back. Maybe it is actually scaled to the number of guardians around? There was a third guy of our fireteam AFK in there. I was using unleveled fatebringer, unleveled 4th horseman and an unleveled arc LMG (last oppertunity to lvl them before DLC) so maybe my loadout was lacking. But still. It it by far the hardest thing I encountered in patrol.

It it by far the hardest thing I encountered in patrol. I solo'd the one that drops in Ember Caves. I just run around from there and the Citadel until a hotfix changes double dipping chests. It can be a tad annoying when people engage the Winter Walker. Equip your MIDA Multi-tools for those close third dipping attempts. There is a scheduled hotfix later on today so expect that to remove double dipping chests.

I noticed that the shields do keep coming back, even if you're putting damage on them, unlike ours which require a few seconds of not taking damage before they can even begin to recharge. I think you mainly just need some good arc weapons, though.

It it by far the hardest thing I encountered in patrol. I would agree, it is hard as far as patrols go. That said, in terms of solo stuff ... those bounties where you have to kill the target, are tougher solo (the one on earth, up in far corner of the map?) I don't know if it's scaled. Maybe. Probably? I did these bounties this weekend with all three of my characters. Did them all solo as I had no one to play with. On most of them, other people/randoms tended to join in pretty quickly. But on two of them, I got stuck solo the entire time. I just blasted away with Heavies. Once you get the first wave down, you can pick up the new launcher. Then because you are solo, you can pick up the 2nd and 3rd(if there) launchers too when hitting the next waves. On the final wave, I just blasted heavies again repeatedly. They went down fast (I was using different weapons with different character, but all were level 331...ie, thunderlord, Crota weapons, Truth, etc..) I'm not sure what point I am on or how this works now. All three characters still have to do the Anchor of light bounty next. I go this done last night with my titan, but didn't receive credit. So I stopped, figured I had to wait a day. I hope this helps with the DLC. All three characters are over level 1 now. I've also gotten a ton of materials doing these bounties, with the treasure chest handing out 16 mats.

Yeah I have got over 1000 spirit bloom in 5 hours of hunting. Sounds like we are not really disagreeing, mostly having different definitions of easy/fast. These events are something you have to go in full geared up otherwise you might not be able to finish them. The ones with servitors/dregs as bounty are not that hard, but the other targets can be very very spongy. I found the baroness on forgotten shore way harder than any defeat target public events personally. It is also a very annoying place to fight the teleporting captains (if they drop on the high ground). She took 7 gjallarhorn without dying, probably not the best environment for rockets though. I have to admit I have been pretty rusty lately (only playing ~ 0-5 hours a week)

I farmed the chests for a few hours over the weekend- out of about 100 chests I received 6 legendary engrams and 2 of the treasure keys. Way too many blues and glimmer and materials. With just a quick search, Reddit didn't have much on drop rates yet... iw5000 saw you were playing crucible a bit, Reddit said that rewards now included trials of Osiris passage coins. Did you have any luck with those?

Did em all
Stopped triple, then double, then once I got to the glimmer cap, I stopped looting them all together.
Broke/scrapped/ discarded my blues that wouldn't decrypt but kept the purples.
WAY too many special ammo synths... I set a 5:30 timer to use them whether I needed it or not

You can fill up your consumables inventory to keep from getting any more special ammo synths if you want.

Did you have any luck with those? yeah, I was trying to max out Crucible marks before tomorrow. Get my Hunter up to 200. Destiny now gives out more marks for winning/losing games in the crucible. I did get a coin. Not real sure what to do with it though.

I don't have a single key. I must be doing something wrong.
just to add...i had all three characters complete all the bounties (and probably found all but one or two chests) No keys. If this is how this new DLC is going to be, playing up the random elements even more, ...my time is going to be short here. Bungie's on a short leash. I'm tired that bullshit.
Edit...also have noticed that two of my characters keep glitching now. They can't turn in their engrams. It's showing them available, but they can't be cashed in. Very frustrating.

No keys for me either, but I didn't put too much time into farming these events.
The Anchor of Light Wolves event was a pain to attempt solo. Managed to get all the unnamed foes before getting killed by Saviks. Then a 32 joined me...was a lot easier after that. Got a legendary primary engram from the chest though...which was great.
Guess I'm going to play a lot of crucible over the next week, still need crucible marks for 2 of my characters (and vanguard marks for all 3).

I have 6 keys right now. This is pretty fun. It's the sparrow races everyone wanted...lol Yeah the sparrow racing is absolute fun, especially with a team of 6 and the random "loading" some people will get. Which introduces that part of luck/unlucky which can be great fun to make fun of. In the end I did most chests twice, three times can be done but is a real struggle most of the time. Glad I have a timebreaker on every character! I got one key in 5 hours of chest hunting on venus and at least double dipping them all (we had three members in citadel and three in ember cave, so we got around 5 an hour I guess). That translates in around 10 chests an hour, which is 50 chests total. So they are pretty rare! It must have been a grind to get 6! Congratz. What do you guys think the keys are for? The internet (reddit) seems to think: At the end of PoE you get a single key for defeating the last boss, then you can advance into the reward room. There will be multiple chests. You only have one key, so you can only open one chest. UNLESS you found some keys before hand (like in these ether chests, but there might be more ways to earn a key) Another hypothesis I have: You don't get a key for defeating the last boss in the lvl 28 version of PoE. Do can advance to the reward room though, and ONLY if you got a key before hand, you can open the chests situated there. Anyway, I like both of them, it is very time consuming and probably not worth the grind once PoE is out, but it gives you an extra chance at some rewards and can probably get you raid level rewards while not having to play a raid level event. Bungie made a smoove moove to release this stuff early, everybody is hyped over the DLC now. @ IW, those engrams are not "glitched", they are DLC engrams. You can decrypt them when the DLC comes out! I have all my characters full with blue and purple DLC engrams . EDIT: treasure room video:

Nobody can see a difference. There is no visible difference. You just can't turn them in. A quick google search gave us this intel when farming. Destiny item manager has a little II in the right corner though. Also some super good advice, once your postmaster "lost items" are full, your old ones get removed!!! So don't let any exotics sit in there before doing some ether chest runs. Great way to get rid of those gosh darn golly gee whiz shaders and ships though
