Yeah, I wonder if that was a like "Welcome to the Prison" bonus because I got two yellow guns from my first two chests. Since then, nothing but purple queen weapons. So maybe you're guaranteed two exotics and then it's pure luck from then on.

I can't bring myself to dismantle exotic items until I've got four weapons of the same type or two armour pieces of the same type.

 

[blitzwing85]

Same here come to think of it. I wonder if that is the case. I got exotics from my first couple too and haven't had a single one since. Hmm!!

 

[Greboth]

I was like that collecting weapons but simply keeping the weapons I use or are good that I may use in the future my vault is full when changing characters so I soon break down duplicates or guns I wont use. I really hope that a patch soon or, at the latest the next expansion gives us a bigger vault. Especially as being able to upgrade old guns there are so many I want to keep.

 

[ic1male]

How do you dismantle the tokens of flight, etc.? I only have an option to discard.

 

[mid_gen]

Say i got 2 yellow weapons out of the level 28 one...

Legendary armour and gun in the level 32...

Been quite lucky really... First session i have had on it in 5 months and i managed to get 2 yellow weapons and 4 of the queen chest keys and armour to get me up to 32...

I broke down the 2 yellow weapons so i could fully upgrade my sniper.

Keep saying 'yellow ones', forgot what they are called lol....

Eek, I wouldn't go dismantling exotic weapons you don't have duplicates of!

Hey Guys,

Just picked up Destiny on the PS4 yesterday and getting quite into it. I just hit level 10 and i'm just pushing through the story missions for now. Are there any tips or things I should be doing whilst i progress?

Also looking at the DLC I heard The Dark Below isn't all that great, can I just skip this DLC and get House of Wolves and still progress to 34?

Also looking for people to play with so feel free to add me PSN: L33ny1983

Cheers

Just discard them, you get 10 reputation when you do :]

Ta. I didn't want to try on a stack of 7 and have nothing happen.

The story is quite brief - there are a few nice moments but on the whole it is a bit pants. Plus you're still dealing with expansion I gear which means faffing about with ascension shards and energy which you can't really get unless you do raids (I think). All of which they got rid of with expansion II gear. So yes, just skip it.

Perfect. Thank you.

How long does this Iron Banner last for?

 

[Diddums x]

A week. It'll disappear again next Tuesday.

bounties bounties bounties.

Pick these up from the robot with the big screen near the post master. Suplement the XP you get from the missions with these bounties. Some of these will need to be completed in a free roam type mode where you can roam and fight the darkness alongside other guardians called Patrol Mode.

There is no PVP here so you're fine to wonder around and kill stuff on your own. Just be wary of the high level enemies. More than 3 levels above you and they will just come up immune when you shoot them.

If you see an enemy rank 14 or above, just run away

The story missions alone will only get you to about rank 16, and you will likely find if you only play missions you'll unlock mars before you're a high enough level to play it. Use patrol mode and the bounties to push you up to the right rank to continue the story. Start doing them now in between missions to break up the monotony and you'll find that probably won't happen as you'll be consistently above the minimum level for the story.

You could also do Crucible with bounties to hit Level 20. I got my 3rd character, a Titan, to Level 20 in about 7 hours this way. I have only just unlocked the Moon lol.

I have to say, despite all my moaning, I quite enjoyed my time in the Iron Banner last night. Although I'm wondering how people were able to melee me for instakill whereas when I did it with storm fist it only took their shield down and they were able to take another shot at me (and kill me).

 

[Fr0dders]

is your character level 34 ?

The level difference really shows where melee is concerned.

No, at first 31 now 32. So they were probably all 33 or higher. I wasn't watching tbh.

 

[Fr0dders]

yeah you'll struggle to one hit melee a 34 at rank 31. Also bear in mind not all melees are one hit kills.

As a titan, the normal punch won't one hit kill when they are at full shields, you'll need a shoulder barge.

 

[ic1male]

I hope they have Skirmish today. I don't even know what it is but it has a trophy!

 

[jimferno]

Titan's have one of the worst melees in the game, in fact Titans just aren't geared for PvP at all. The Warlock melee is best in the game, ridiculous range, can be set up to provide a shield/DoT & is usually a OHK anyways.

Ran into a lot of Warlocks rocking the Ram last night, makes them very difficult to kill.

I don't even know why I'm playing Iron Banner, I don't want the armour or weapons & got the Matador to drop last night(only PvP weapon I wanted). Suppose the cape looks nice for my Huntard.
