So I’m guessing Treasure Keys are not guaranteed drops in PoE, despite what I’ve read saying that they will drop once per event per week. I did the level 28 and 32 PoE and didn’t get a key from either (and I didn’t have a key in my inventory during the 32 run).
It seems like they only drop from ether chests during the Wolves events on Patrol and from the two smaller chests in PoE. It might be worth it to grind out the level 28 PoE just for the chance at the small chests. They do have better rewards than ether chests - like more motes of light which are more valuable now for reforging weapons.
So far I’m loving House of Wolves. I re-rolled the “Her Right Hand” auto rifle a few times and got a pretty nice setup. Vestige Dynasty sidearm is awesome. The DPS just feels beastly.
I really want that new exotic Hunter helmet. It reduces shots on Golden Gun to one, but that single shot does 6X damage.
Speaking of supers, I think Arc Blade got a stealth buff - I can actually take down Captains and have some energy leftover now.
Ok, so it seems since we got the first Treasure Key from the story missions, one will not be a guaranteed drop from PoE until the weekly reset. Going forward, we should receive one guaranteed for each character for your first completion per reset.
Also, it seems that exotics are pretty much guaranteed for your first time opening the big chest each week- I got one for each character and from what I’ve read everyone else got an exotic weapon drop from the big chest on their first run, regardless of level. If you use your first treasure key on a higher level mode (34 or 35), you can get a chance at class items and Fallen weapons on top of the exotic roll (I believe only Queen’s legendary weapons have a chance to drop from 28 and 32).
All of this may or may not be completely correct, but it is my understanding that it is. So far…
okay so I just got back from my work trip last night, I left on the 13th (missed the damn queens event!!) but can anyone catch me up on the big stuff that the reveals/How bungie streams didnt let us know.
Wheres the best place for the ethric light?
Do I have to do the story 1st?
How do I update all my old stuff the fastest?
Where the hell should i start?
My friend is borrowing my xbone for sunset OD but im playing on 360, if anyone here still has one and wants to show me around, play some pvp/pve/nightfall whatever I have 3 32s that need lvling and 700 asendants that im sure need to go somewhere. Ill be on today around 4pst if anyones down.
Two nightfalls down and I get old Exotics while everyone else gets Etheric Light. One last nightfall left. If I dont get any light, I’ll just go into the 34 PoE a level under. At least it’s a guaranteed drop once per week at level 34 and 35.
Did my 1st prision of elders at level 34, how boy, that 4 round had us fucked over, all of us were doing it for the 1st time at that level and took it a good amount of time to finish it, but we did it at the end.
I also have 2 nighfalls left, so i hope that i get at least 1 etheric ligh so my goddamn warlock can be 34 by the end of this week.
So I tried Prison of Elders last night with my lvl 28 Warlock and my friend’s level 31 Hunter. It was actually pretty damn fun until we got to the very last Minataur boss, and Destiny’s terrible servers disconnected me from the game. Of course you can’t fucking join back in, even if it’s a friend’s game AND it’s a game you were just in.
5 rounds, a dozen deaths, and over two hours of time. All for fucking nothing.
I actually could join the game after it kicked me from the game, you just need to be on the area outside the arena to be able to join. It was on the 34 PoE that i did yesterday that i mentioned a post above.
Edit
Futher details, i was kicked due inactivity since we were waiting a friend while he was doing something and it was at the entrance of the 4th round
Yeah, you can rejoin. I beat 34 last night, but my friend left and switched to her Titan so we could have an extra bubble for the boss. You have like a five second window to jump back in after the team wipes and it’s on the death screen before spawning you back into the middle room. At least, that’s how we did it.
That boss is fucking tough, but round 4 was a bit harder I thought, with Arc burn and having to leave cover for the mines. I got lucky and got the Etheric Light from nightfall so I got my Titan to 34 in time for Trials of Osiris tonight. Woot!
