What is your armor number? Mine has just gone over 1000 so hoping I have enough. Level 25 now

My armor level is 1137

1000!!!

Mine is 870 at level 25

Maxed out Blue gear on Defender Class.

You're gonna struggle on these level 24 missions then.

How have you got to 25 with blue gear? That shouldn't be possible.

Level 20 blue gear gives light. If you get the right one you can find ones that give +15 each light so +60 light.

Haven't really read or understood these last few pages properly so can someone clarify - you can now get incredibly easy epics from these Queen missions despite people having to spend hours and hours grinding away for rep for vanguard and crucible epics previously?

I want about 15 hours of my life back.

I've got all legendary gear apart from helmet

 

[ps3ud0]

Yeah a bit annoying - tempted to get another character to 20 for the easy legendary stuff...

Yep , you do a bountie which is easy , then a mission that can be long and hard or quick and fairly easy, the mission is random.

First one I had was level 24 enemy but was straight forward and earned a legendary chest piece.

The second mission from another bountie was long and hard and I got the same reward which I dismantled for a shard.

Think a lot of us have had the same armour given out but you can dismantle it.

*does seem odd you can earn legendary guaranteed and working for it through random drops and gaining rep/marks can take ages depending how you play.

Destiny should really have a trade/sell vendor. I have legendary chest armour for hunter and I am a warlock, don't see why they give you drops for the opposite class. Farming is fun though, picked up LOADS of blue engrams the other night.

Its a trade off

Yes you get a guaranteed legendary, but you can't pick and choose what you want. People have been doing it and getting the same helmet 4 times in a row which they don't need.

So yes it gets you legendary gear, but not the same choice you do when spending vanguard marks.

It is however better than the random engram drops in that its guaranteed, but then again you are doing level 24 story missions with the Epic Modifiers, not grinding away level 4 mobs. It was one of the biggest criticisms of Destiny - that you got the same chance of drops doing level 4 patrols as you did doing level 24 story missions, which was daft.

because they expect you to play all of the game, which means maxing a titan, a hunter and a warlock. and now you've already got armour for the hunter for when you start.

Edit: does anyone know a good place to collect lots of spinmetal? need it for upgrading but only have about 9 pieces.

So your armour carries over to another class?

If you save it in the vault.

 

[metamorphpwner]

your vault seems to be split between them, so my banked items are available for all. Even the higher level armours my warlock can't wear yet, I'm using titan mainly at the moment.

You find it on earth.

Go do the level 4 patrol on earth and pick up the patrol missions, look out for it as you fly about.

Theres usually about 2 or 3 pieces around the loot cave that respawn and move about that you can farm inbetween farming the loot cave and doing patrol missions.

Also check every cave you see, inside will sometimes be a chest which have spin metal in them.

Im doing not bad lads. Got Legendary/exotic : Head Chest Bazooka Minigun and yesterday got awesome assault rifle that is my weapon of choice as i do suck at aiming. Not to mention i am half way in quest for legendary fusion rifle.

And got 2 gear sets of epix purple items one for pve one for pvp. Guess when you put in 150 hours of gameplay you will beat RNG lime myself :]

This morning i got 3rd reputation to level 3 :]

 

[Plainsong]

I did the Queens kill missions this morning. Did the first 2 on earth (same mission) and I got the legendary headgear twice (slight different in INT but essentially the same). Next it was mars so I cancelled and tried again. Sent back to the same earth mission which I completed and got the legendary body armour. Just short of lvl 25 now. I was struggling for purples so glad I started this event as I had intended to just some some PvP for faction rep!

dismantle them for ascendant materials for upgrading the gear on your main character.

+1 this is pretty lame, what's the point in grinding for marks if you can get a "free" legendary for completing one mission lulz.

a vanguard / crucible helmet takes >1 week of marks to purchase!!

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

Are the stats as good?

The stats on legendary gear literally don't mean jack at this point.
As long as you have a legendary item you just need to upgrade the light level and that is the only limiting factor as to which content you can clear in my experience so far. Str/Int/Disc all seem fairly useless, doesn't really matter which stats you actually get on your gear, and the unlockable skills are nice but don't really make a massive difference in real world performance except on exotics.
