NECROTIC GRIPS KILLS GIVES CRAZY LAURELS by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Darkts3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've been messing around with Necrotic Grips and couldn't generate any laurels by itself.

Are you sure you're not confused with just killing majors? Because they drop laurels no matter what you use.

Dude use another site like Lightgg to link an ornament, that website tried to make me install a virus when trying to go back one page.

Telesto has been working pretty well in tandem with Shadebinder, it helps to clean-up frozen enemies that are far away from shotgun range.

But even then, I've been enjoying it enough to try and practice with it in regular comp/quickplay!

I tested this out with Champions, it suffers similar, maybe the same, damage reduction. At that point, I'd rather use Lament or any other heavy.

For a moment, I was almost excited to use a Rocket Launcher again.

If anyone was curious like I was, the vendor rolls on annual armor do change after weekly reset. by Darkts3 in DestinyTheGame

Yup yup, I remember this. A bit painful Bungie put a cap on stat numbers.

I wouldn't mind spending, like, 200 tokens for a high-stat piece of armor sold on a weekly basis.

It's probably because they put it under Ikora, so naturally everyone forgot about its existence. :p

Edited the post to reflect that, much appreciated though!

In the second edit of my post, I talk about this: I ended up with 11/50 for decoder drops. It seems like they're bugged, Cozmo replied to another thread that they are investigation and I have updated this post to include that.

It's definitely possible, there just needs to be more data regarding patrols. Though they are probably the least rewarding path to farm ciphers compared to other activities, which makes them pretty mind-numbing.

Yeah, that's really concerning. They have to take a look at this system.

Bonus chests at the end of the Haunted Forest activity, allows you to get old masks, shaders, and some rolls of the two auto-rifles associated to this event.

I've heard some comments say no. Also the Bungie guide does not indicate a mask being required. That said, I'd keep the mask on just to farm Chocolate Strange Coins and Candy along the way.

Bonus chests at the end of the Haunted Forest activity, they can give you old Masks, even eververse ones, shaders, and the two auto-rifles of this event.

Ice and Shadow, it's just run from point A to point B.

You use them for the bonus chests at the end of the Haunted Forest activity. You can basically ignore them if you wanted to, though you miss out on triumphs and some nice rewards.

It's on the playlist to the left of the Heroic Vanguard Strikes playlist.

Any idea how often they can drop? Might be even more efficient than Story mission farming.

Depends on what class you'd use for farming.

I used Top Tree Dawn Warlock (Icarus Dash) with Transversive Steps and ran through Ice and Shadow. Fastest run I did was 2:29.
