As far as I can tell, I doubt it. Xur is given leave to be in the Tower due to the Consensus more or less allowing it (but I don't think they have any idea how he gets there). The Reef is the Queen's territory, so Xur might not be very welcomed there.
Also, the House of Wolves is DLC. That would mean Xur wouldn't be accessible to people some weeks if he showed up at the Reef. None of this is official, by the way, [b]just my speculation.[/b]

Bungie stated that the reef will open for everyone, I believe.
-
I'll need a source to verify that, please.
-
Read, the HOW reveal update
-
Interesting, I suppose that could be literal. I suppose we'll have to wait and see.
-
I guess. it seems possible, since non TDB owners could also do Eris bounties.
-
I could be wrong
-
Source?
-
Read the update
-
Sound reasoning.
-
But for about 5 weeks, Bungie will program Xur to sell DLC exclusive content, so you may as well put him in the Reef social space...
-
That's their decision. However, putting him there restricts gamers without the DLC from buying engrams and such from him. While I know that happens with the Weeklies, Xur feels different. Besides, he seems happy in the Tower. Well...as happy as a minion of an elusive group of people who also has no control over its will can be.
-
If you've read up on lore and grimore, you'd know that the Agents of the Nine is the name given to the individuals living past the asteroid belt (reef) in the gas planets (don't ask me how) and the moons of these planets. Maybe they will have a second agent of the Nine who sells different things, each week and maybe have the reef version of Xur come on a different day and have a higher chance to bring a new HOW dlc weapon
-
I was actually thinking something like that, but I didn't want to say it lest people thought I was confirming that.
-
Too be fair, Xûr already has Dlc content.....
-
Content, yes, but he's not exclusive to it. I don't think there's been a single week in which all of his gear was DLC oriented. In any case, he also sells consumables and engrams.
-
Well, actually yes, there was one week of ALL dlc gear, but besides the point; I still have to wonder wether there are really still people interested in Destiny that don't already have the dlc.
-
Edited by Charlemagne: 4/16/2015 4:11:12 PMI just checked and you're right. He did three times. That must have been a downer, but he still had all his consumables and engram. But that's the thing in the end, his stock is RNG as far as we know, maybe even his location in the Tower. However, I, personally, doubt they'll make him go to the Reef.
-
True, but there might still be a possibility of a similarly important character ending up in the reef.
-
Oh great Charlemagne, I'm humbled for you to grace my presence! While I do agree with you in lore-wise reasoning on why Xûr won't be at the Reef, I don't view such a thing not happening somehow in some way. Xûr is perhaps the one thing that keeps guardians coming back out of anything, so say for him to sell some kind of incentive in the reef, like a special buff or item, would encourage players to purchase the expansion and bring player interest into the new location. Xûr would not have to solely show up at the tower though, perhaps he could be two places at once? And then I suppose Bungie would have an interesting lore reason behind this aspect, and further bring insight and mystery into the character and his masters. The reason I'm compelled to think this is because I wonder on how Bungie will fill up the reef with NPC's, the easiest thing to do would be to simply add 3 new "reef" factions, but that seems incredibly horrid of a thought; although the potential implications for such might be interesting at first, only the elite of Destiny players will keep such interest well after the expansion has launched. Xûr himself does not need to show up exclusively, it could be an entirely new character.... Another agent of the nine? The importance of that character bringing people back would still need to stand however, and such a character would have to play a similar importance. And besides, my zeal over the monarchy cannot be unquenched by any awoken rival that may be found in the reef, give me a good reason to venture into the reef other than story elements! If I could, I would gladly set up shop in the reef, acting as the New Monarchy's emissary to the queen, but if only it were possible.
-
Careful, Guardian. I don't think the New Monarchy is representing the Queen of the Reef. She has her own representatives, like Petra Venj. As for other NPCs at the Reef, there's also the Queen's brother and the Queen herself. While we have no confirmation on any of that, those are my guesses, especially Venj.
-
Well... If Venj ends up having the same inventory as before... Let's just say I'll be thoroughly disappointed.
-
Why? Saladin only sells Iron Banner gear (on rotation), just like any other Vendor. I would be fine with it, so long as the stats are upped.
-
Edited by Roadkii J: 4/16/2015 4:32:47 PMWell, atleast Saladin sold purple equipment, and if I recall correctly Venj sold blue grade gear the first time around, well, the only time around.
-
That's very true. I forgot the weapons were only Rare. I wonder if that'll mean new weapons. I can't wait to find out.
-
I'm assuming new weapons... But I have to wonder how the set-up of the reef will work, I'm imagining something relatively similar to the tower... Almost... But I'm not so sure it'll be the "Never going back to the tower ever" type of location that some may want. For starters they'll probably only have a lesser number of factions than the tower... But I'm excited to see all the different gear and lore behind such factions if they were to appear.
