Might be counting the storage of banners etc.
I'm maining my Warlock and might get some time this weekend to boot and look at Xur.. are the machines worth getting?

There is no way to carry more than 25k in actual glimmer but you can put house banners, network keys, silken codex in the vault rather than hand them in to the cryptarch. They are only worth 200 glimmer each but it is surprising how quickly you build up a supply of them. I have spent quite a lot of my vault reserves since TTK as I had ~100k in there but now down a lowly ~30k
You can also store the ones you get off the queen (royal amethyst? and something else) which are 5k or 2.5k each. You can only store one of each though so I have left some in the inventry of my alt characters. If you cashed these in the first time around, you can pick up the HoW quest line from the abandoned quest wall ipad and you get them again. Running solo it takes about an hour to do the quest lines again.
Played a few games last night with a friend and he kept getting exotic drops, nearly every strike.
He told me it was because he uses an item from Xur called 'three of coins', i have bought loads and used loads (says stackable) and did around 10 strikes this morning and got nothing.
Am i doing something wrong? Is there a trick to it?

Nobody knows what the best way to use them is, I just pop one every time I'm at a boos. But if your mate is getting one almost every strike ask what his secret is and tell us? I normally average 1 every 5-10 coins.

Don't use a load at once, there's no real proof they provide a better bonus if you use more than one. Just use one before you get to each strike boss and you should get some exotics.

Get a ghost that gives you glimmer for killing Hive, then go wake the hive a bunch of times. Either that or just run a bunch of strikes, making sure to use the relevant glimmer consumable for each strike. I make a ton of glimmer without even trying any more, it's very rare I'm not at or near the cap.
I had forgotten about Ghosts having that perk, I've been using the raid Ghost on my characters since it dropped without thinking. I have 8 300 + shells so will do some infusing!
On my Warlock I run Alchemist's Raiment - Chest Armour and it gives glimmer on primary ammo pickup. Adds up quite quickly!
What's the deal with the increased ammo perks on the Alchemist's Raiment? In one place the text says increases amount of ammo you can carry for special and heavy weapons, and in another it says increased ammo drops. If it's the former, that's awesome. If it's the latter, meh.. I already know you're going to say it's the latter...

Think of it as a PvE vest. Almost all are the former so the fact it increases particular ammo drop supplies is super useful

All other Y2 gear has perks specific to weapon types though, not weapon class. I was hopeful that this was class level perks i.e. all special and heavy weapons, like the good ol' Armamentarium was in Y1.
It isnt even character specific. On my titan i did a hard mode run this week. Shards from the first chest, shards from totems, sharsa from warpriest and shards/normal mode gloves from golgoroth. I left to go out, **** getting crap drops from everything. Came homs the next day and lfg'd an oryx group on the same character and got this... 3 hard drops, 2 nornal and 2 shards...

I see the first firewall mission is active now, get ready for a new wave of sleeper simulant wielding guardians!
Just dipped my toes into my first hard mode kings fall, stopped after golgoroth. Got the harrowed sniper and chest piece. The downside - they both dropped at 310. I could have gotten those from normal mode.
In fact, I was already wearing a 310 chest piece when that dropped. The new one being harrowed makes no difference at all, it doesn't even look different with the shader I use. Oh well. The sniper is nice though. Would have been nice if it had dropped at a higher attack rating, but even at 310 it's now my highest sniper rifle. Too bad the stats suck, but at least I can do the cocoon trick with my primary to get constant DPS.
