I think I'm gonna pick up Truth just for HoWs. I don't have a Void RL and with the damage categories moving around while fighting the same boss, my guess is a void damage RL will be needed.

Also gonna pick up an Apotheosis Veil helmet for Crota hard. I have light beyond nemesis but the added perk of health regen by activating your super sounds like it could come in very handy.

Save the coins. Apotheosis Veil isnt worth it. Sunsinger will just come back from death. Void Walker has Obsidian mind is much more useful. The Veil has dropped 3x and I sharded all of them.

I had 2 truths drop this week which was crazy. I have 3 now.

you'll get it!! add another g-horn to my list for the week, it would have been nice had it dropped for daver instead of me. second of the week and 7 total.. as of now, i have gotten more g-horns than any other exotic in the game, it just passed the Suros which i have received 6 of those from drops.

[G1ggs]

I'm picking up Truth for my collection. Just need the following Exotics:
Weapons
Vex Mythoclast
Gjallarhorn
Necrochasm

Armour
Crest of Alpha Lupi
Lucky Raspberry
Light Beyond Nemesis

....and then the HoW Exotics

Nothing for me to buy except heavy ammo. I've been burning my heavy ammo synthesis a lot lately. I was hoping Xur would sell Vex.

Hopefully this will be the weekend that I get Fatebringer.

The only possible way to get Vex is hard Atheon.

This is bad advice. If you find yourself on deaths doorstep anytime after leaving the crystal room then dying isn't an option, especially on hard mode when an oversoul usually means a wipe.

Where's Mike? Took me five months after he got his to get mine.

I got my second foil a couple weeks ago and sharded it.....then I remembered that i had already sharded the first for vault space.

Mike dead.

RNG is so weird. I have only done Aetheon hard 3 times and have gotten Vex two of the times. And other people also got it to drop in the same round, I just assumed the drop rate was high.

I must have dismantled 5-8 Vex's so far (and have one one each character). After the first one finally dropped, I seam to get one every few hard runs.

I've had every VoG raid weapon for some time, now. I've got the foil (and timepiece) fully unlocked, but haven't put any materials into it. Once I can ascend it to 365, I may look into using it.

I just signed on and there's a download. Looks like 1.2 is ready.

And 7GB!

[Blu-Benny]

So I s/b able to take all my commendations....... Never used any....... And apply them to my vanguard after the dlc and rank my vanguard up for more packages and new gear???

[Snicket]

Yes. I have several ranks just under ranking up in anticipation of this.

My question is if I am wearing a faction item, will vanguard commendations give me faction rep?

[G1ggs]

When is everyone converting the Commendations? I ask because I was thinking of doing mine once HoW is released as any faction rank ups I get may drop the new faction weapons. Would I be right doing this?

I'm assuming yes as long as you are wearing the faction rep. I treat them as bounties.

You get vanguard commendation even though you rank in dead orbit, new monarchy, future war cult.

I believe there are new factions as well so I'll be using mine for the new one's once I find a faction I really like for the gun.
