Been playing since launch and still haven't gotten 23 strange coins... :/ I'm at 18 though so maybe next week I'll have enough coins to buy something interesting.
If you are at level 18 - that is why. I really didn't amass strange coins quickly until I got around level 26/27. then I could do the daily/weekly/nightfall strikes on their hardest level. The weekly on level 28 gives you 9 strange coins.
Same here, lvl 24…I do the weekly and the public events too. I really want/need the coins. Any tips to be offered since I am missing some magical way to accumulate coins?
For all of you trying to get strange coins if you aren't level 28 get to 24 and just go one the reddit and ask for people to join you for the 22 one. I have two character level 26 and 27 so I just run the first two on both and can easily get 12 very fast. I currently have 34 due and haven't tried to get any in the past week but that's because Xur has disappointed me two weeks in a row.
As for motes of light if you spend 1-2 hours doing the daily bounties you WILL get 23 (assuming you are level 20 already) motes in a week. I usually do 3-4 of each and the queens bounties have made leveling so much easier. I got 25 last week and 29 by yesterday so it the motes are very easy to get.
I've got a group of guys level 28+. You're welcome to join us if you'd like people to play with. We're on almost every day doing strikes, weekly/heroic events, raid, etc. If you've got a mic, send me a message/FR on PSN: HellzAssassn. My entire clan is doing the Raid again tonight, so we may not be available due to such.
PS. I've had plenty of strange coins. Doing level 28 weekly/nightfall and such give you 9 a piece. Look us up on bungie.net too (Farm And Raid Industries Inc)
That would be nice, but it’s more annoying for me that every week the Hunter item and the Exotic engram have been the same slot. There’s 4 items (one for each class and one exotic) for sale and 4 equipment shots. How hard is it to ensure the exotic engram is not the same slot as the class items being sold?
If you can manage to get the extra coins before Xur disappears, the helm is totally worth it for Defender subclass on the Titan. It blinds all enemies that enter your Ward of Dawn bubble, even in PvP. :P
so i winged it again with the exotic engram and got a exotic for another class. so that makes two straight weeks the engram i buy is for another class. i managed to get red death too, the exotic pulse riffle so far its a good buy.
I got that from a drop... the gun is garbage. A nice novelty item though. It fires too slow, and recoil / spread is too much for PvP and funny enough, PvE. Maybe they buff it in the future.
I had so many motes I bought a tail for my titan and gambled on an exotic engram, got the striker class one, now can rock defender and striker helms. Had the defender one already. Only drawback is have to level it up, I drop to 27 with the new helm from 28.
Kinda disappointed with the items this week, but I get to save my strange coins so it's all good.
SUNBREAKER'S AGAIN?!
C'mon Bungie this is 3 weeks in a row with the same garbage item for the warlock class, get it together!
Great, Hunter Helm and Exotic helm engram again.
I only have 9 strange coins :(
I would like that titan helmet.
