Destiny Vendor “Xur” is in a New Location, Items for Sale This Week Listed

For those not familiar with Xur – Agent of the Nine, he’s a hooded vendor in Destiny that only appears on Fridays and Saturdays. And more importantly, he sells Exotic gear! Yep, by using those Strange Coins and Motes of Light as currency, you can buy an Exotic armor or weapon from Xur. Or if you’re feeling a bit brave, you can buy Exotic engrams from him but be cautious, though, as it’s not guaranteed that the item is something your class can use.

Ah excellent! I'm fully outfitted with Legendary, just need my exotic to cap it off (not to mention upgrades).

[ChronoJoe]

What exotic do you have so far?

I don't have any legendary items, but I have an exotic. First legendary engram I got was an exotic...

[n4rc]

I've got a legendary chest peice, that's it at lvl24..

Keep seeing people in my game finding legendary engram's but I've yet to find one myself.. Mine came from the post master as some gift from someone

This game is being very tight with the loot in my case lol..

[darren_poolies]

I've had one god damn legendary engram and when I got it decoded it was a rare chest piece :'(

[Dontworrybhappy]

Got an exotic in pvp last night! Gamer tags STOUTBEER on X1

[kneon]

I'm having really crappy luck getting legendary items and I don't have enough strange coins to buy anything.

I just finished the daily strike mission solo and all I got was a mote of light and some crappy piece of uncommon armor :(

[Cryptcuzz]

Mote of light are good! You can use them to buy legendaries from vendors like the speaker to the left side of the tower.

[3-4-5]

You get more engrams and items by playing PvP than anything else.

Or at least I have.

[kneon]

It would be good except I don't have enough of
of those either.

I seem to get more stuff just doing patrols and killing low level enemies than I do trying a strike on heroic settings.

[Cryptcuzz]

There is a place on Venus, where the downed airplane is. Enemies will keep coming and if you wait there long enough, a wave of strong enemies will arrive. It is a good place to farm and have gotten a lot of uncommon, rare and a few legendary engrams.

Set your destination to Patrol on Venus. Straight down and make a right. Then left up the stairs. Straight ahead from there. Go through the building and follow that path. You will reach an area where you go downstairs and into the area where the downed airplane is. Try it out for half/hour and see if you will get anything good. Good luck!

[Cryptcuzz]

You should also complete as many bounties as you can as well. Once you do enough and reach another reputation level for either Vanguard or Crucible level, the postmaster will give you a legendary engram that are usually two rares and glimmers. I have gotten 2 legendary weapons when decrypting the two rares from the postmaster. Good luck!

[ToastyMcNibbles]

I farmed a spot last night literally for 2 hours. Leveled up cryptarch got a legendary package with a god of war shader. Had a total of 4 legendary engrams. I decrypted everything and ended up with a legendary helmet. My buddies get legendary items without breaking a sweat while i bust my ass. Feels like a second job lol

[ceballos77mx]

I barely got a legendary auto rifle by farming on the moon where the gate opens, around my 500 kill I got the purple engram, killed more than 1500 and got killed around 35 times, and just one legendary.

But that rifle was worth it...

[n4rc]

Lol.. I tried the moon farm..

Got up to 1000 kills and got a few blues and a bunch of greens.. No purples..

Only took 15-20min.. Might try it again.. Hit the max vanguard marks for the week so I'm just screwing around in patrols and a few PvP games (still bugs me some guys have one shot kill guns in a supposed balanced game)

[SojournUK]

Same here, no luck on my drops either...

[xTheSociopathx]

skywatch in the cosmodrome is the best spot for farming

[Shadonic]

your freaking lucky man, my friend trolled me and jinxed me when i finally got another legendary engram, turned out to be a rare fusion rifle ( the weapon i never use) and he gets one lies about getting off so that i wouldn't be by him when he decrypts it and it turns out to be an exotic shotgun.

[GuruStarr78]

Just bought an exotic engram from Xur and got an exotic chest armor! finally got something decent from an engram...could not believe it.

All that pvp to get those motes finally paid off. Happy I didn't have to save up strange coins as they're a pain to get... now to get back to the crucible and hit rep level 3 so I can buy some legendary weapons (Auto rifle, I'm looking at you..lol).

[ftwrthtx]

I haven't collected enough stuff for his items yet.

[markyboy2181]

is exotic higher level then legandry?

[--Onilink--]

yes, exotic is the highest (for now..) you can only have 1 exotic armor and 1 exotic weapon equipped at a time. So even if you buy one, dont get rid of any legendary you have, since you might want to change the exotic you have equipped later on

[souldestroyer14]

Good stuff, I need some strange coins I'm a lvl 25 on xb1 my gamertag is Souldestroyer14 add me if you want to do weekly strikes

[DevilishSix]

That Titan Helm is nice and that Rocket Launcher is boss...it denotes into three clusters that track enemies.

[novacav]

^^ I agree dat helm

[decimalator]

Every legendary engram I've gotten has been anything BUT a legendary. Only legendaries I've gotten have been from rare engrams or bought with marks.

[Cryptcuzz]

I'd like Bungie to change it so that legendary and exotic engrams are guaranteed a legendary or an exotic item. They are so hard to come by and it sucks big donkey balls when they get encrypted as an uncommon or a rare item that are weaker than what you have currently.

[Tetsujin]

Who would disagree with that? Unless it's a mistake.

[Silver360]

I think you have to upgrade Cryptarch to level 11 to actually get what you should get from an Engram

[LAWSON72]

I bought an exotic engram and got a chest for the wrong class :(

[Cryptcuzz]

Damn, that is wrong man and my comment above yours proves that.

[ShowGun901]

i dunno about you, but i plan on leveling up all 3 classes... you just got an armor for your next guy! LOL

guess its about looking on the bright side LOL

[BattleTorn]

I'm sporting full exotic gear!! (wink wink)

[UltraAtomic]

Well I got 2 strange coins but that's about it

[viper3512]

What they need to do is fix that shitty excuse for PvP. It's not as bad as some others, but this is bungie. I expected much better from them.

[Manubiggs]

I'm level 21 and only have 3 strange coins :(

[ShowGun901]

you'll get there man! i didn't have very many for the first week, then this week it really picked up, seemed like i was getting them every fourth crucible match! up to 24 now!

[johnnynitross]

I ended up buying the Sunbreakers gauntlets for my Warlock, f'n badass lookin

[vikingland1]

My problem is I don't play PvP. I keep hearing that's the best way to get good gear. I do love the co-op with 2 other buddies. I don't have enough motes for Xur darn it.

[no_more_heroes]

Is Xur only a temporary thing? As in, will there be a time when he stops appearing completely?

[MrZweistein]

He shows up only for the weekends. There is a schedule somewhere where you can lookup the exact times when he shows up.

[SECondsaway]

He comes Friday at 3am EST and leaves Sunday 3am EST

[PFFT]

I just need a Legendary Helmet to go beyond lvl27.I currently have a rare equipped. I bought the exotic bracers and rocket launcher from him.

[jmc8888]

Oh the engram issue can be worked around by having multiple characters.

You can go from lvl 1 to 20 with a new character in about 10 hours of gameplay. Maybe a little bit more.

[VenRez]

I've gotten 2 legendarys(not for my class) and 2 exotics within 3days of the midnight launch for this game hahaha. The fact you can only equip 2 at most is depressing, I have 5 nice exotics now and I gotta choose only 1 wep, 1 armor piece. My first exotic was the Patience And Time sniper rifle, and holy fuck it's awesome.
