Why can't SoDA be obtained through an engram? I have gotten several, and although I can't remember how, the only possibility is from engrams...
My reasons of why not buying exotics from Xur other than 3ofCs (at least not now):
1) exotic armor: they are at puny 290 light; 2) exotic engram: I used to enjoy the lottery for decent chances of getting 310, but then I got burnt one week with 5 purchases that yielded 0 310, that's 95 SCs down the drain that could have been 70 3ofCs. 3ofCs are much better investment (7 coins for 5 ~= 1 very good chance of exotic, vs 19 coins).
Of course: if you come across a piece that you are planning to use a lot, with great roll, by all means go for it.

I haven't seen anyone on reddit or here say they got a SoDA from an engram, especially me who bought 15 engrams trying. Furthermore, it's not available in year 2 from blueprints suposidly either. I mean, it's a decent albeit unspectacular week. But it's not horrible.

Already drained all my Strange Coins on Threes, trying to build up a stack of 50 on each character and maintain that before I really consider throwing SCs on other random stuff. Just about there, I think I'm at around 30/50/50. Bought a few Needles last week, still haven't used.

Yea... My stack of 700 sc is down to half now
I need to do some PoE to get that stack up.
Or just stop spending....

I'm at about 100 or so strange coins...even though I'm kind of holding off on engrams until I hit 300 light. Well markopolo if I'm on later, I still need the Grimoire for Kaliks Reborn/Machine Wrath (somehow I never ran that mission) and more strange coins would be icing on the cake, so I'd be up for a few runs of PoE.

I'm getting Polo II to 40 but yes, just send me an invite or jump into to my fireteam or whatevz. Plus I think Tyger might throw show us the ropes of Kings Fall normal...

Ah, saw that you got #2 up to 40 pretty quickly there. I just got both my Hunter and Titan to the final part of the Neverending Battle quest earlier today (with Tooros and DM's help), so I could run another Nightfall (or 2) before Tuesday. I had a bit of a brain fart earlier and forgot that I was going to send an invite to help with some PoE.
Ah, sweet!

#2 is NF ready so send me an invite
I did 3-28 PoE's - definitely SC farming viable... 14 coins from 3 runs, 20ish minutes a run, all with uncoordinated pugs with 1 player who got less than 20 kills each time - got 20+ weapons parts - it's disgustingly easy... I died twice: 1) because I got greedy sizzlefingeting the prime servator boss, and 2) wiped because my pug triedto shoot instead of disarm the mines and it was the oppositeends of the fallen map and I was 2 secs too late - even got an exotic...

Why can't SoDA be obtained through an engram? To make you buy something from Xur for once.

All three toons are high 290s or low 300s assuming I swap in my best weapons. I need this raid. Need.
