Question: has anyone figured out how this works? (quotes from the patch notes)
I don't remember seeing this available in the morning when I was playing. Is there a mission/quest that needs to be done to unlock this?
Also, which quest is this?

Not sure on either of those as I haven't seen them so far. I'm not getting the weekly crucible bounties from Shaxx yet either. I'm guessing they'll all come once I get further into some of the questlines. I purposely held off doing anything that granted XP as a reward last week so I could use that boost toward the new subclasses, so I'm probably a little behind from that standpoint.

Regarding Shaxx: my expectation is that we need to finish the quest of "Crucible Forged" to unlock the bounties that can earn Nightfall level rewards.

If you are ever short on Reciprocal Runes and wish to save your Black Wax Idols and Glimmer, you can actually farm these in The Hollows when you kill a Blighted Descendant that spawns near the Cabal dropship location. This is the popular location to farm Cabal majors in Patrol. For some reason you cannot store these in your vault so you won't be able to transfer them between characters.

I guess the character specific part for runes is by design, since to buy them from Eris Morn you'll have to reach rank 5.
Also: what loot does tier 1 Court of Oryx drop?

Today's BWU has arrived: 1) Raid teaser: 2) what Year 2 Xur has to offer: In a nutshell: Xur will offer (much) less direct exotic offerings. More things will never be offered by him, and for the ones that are, they are more RNG based (exotic engram, "Three of Coins", Legacy Engram). Also, this for bros who are wondering how Raid is gated: Level requirement: 40 Recommended Light level: 290 That's it.

Nice! I'm really loving the "everything is worth your time, everything can help you progress" philosophy Bungie has taken with TTK.

The King of Taken, Oryx, has been taken down. Looks like it took the world's first team around 7 hours (10am - 5pm ish PT).
In comparison: VoG world's first took 10 hours, CE world's first took around 5-6.

It'd be nice if they added the Glimmer consumables to drop in the Vault of Glass, even if it's only Axiomatic Beads and they didn't allow Blue Polyphage to be used during the whole of the Raid even though it happens during the Gatekeeper. I mean I can get 200+ Glimmer from doing one Patrol mission now.

I've been a lot of posts on Reddit etc. moaning the price and the only way for pricing to change is for players not to buy the products. It's the same with the price of football tickets and I see supporters put up banners criticising the cost and I'm like "Well, you paid for your ticket didn't you?"

Raid warmup and post completion ritual are now much more interesting:
1) warm up: 6 player party into Rumble playlist, sword fight!
2) post completion: Sumarai dance party!

I need to do the Darkblade strike thing yet to actually get my exotic, but after that I'm down to just let people kill me in rumble for a while.

I am actually talking about sword fight for real once we all have exotic swords of different colors, and just slice up each other for fun (Bungie should totally create some game modes for that). But I wouldn't mind friends sacrificing themselves to my sword to fill my guardian kill quota

Players like you / iw5000 / mannon who played extensively during Y1 will enjoy it, without any doubt in my mind. After you are done with Rainbow Six beta, you should definitely cough up the 40 pounds and join us. I need more bros to carry me in Trials

I'm waiting for it to arrive through the post unless a Postie has stolen it. I don't have enough experience with Trials in order to carry just yet and I will likely have an uncompetitive light level when it starts, so I'll be watching a few streams to see if there's anything to learn before I jump in. You could try Reddit's Lighthouse Sherpas in the mean time.

Lovely! Look forward to playing with you soon. I dont need to get carried into the Lighthouse, just friends who are willing to waste a few passage coins together from time to time

Ok. Don't mock but, I just finished the sword quest and have a blade. It's shit @only 220. I assume now it's complete: heavy weapon engrams will convert into better ones?
