EDIT 6: BUMP FOR BUNGIE!!!!! WHOA WHAT A BUMPY ROAD!!
Edit 7: Story update.***~~~THANK YOU TITANITE THORIAN~~~*** The Black engram drops a clue to a certain exotic item.. Complete a set of specific objectives.
Example: THIS IS A CONCEPT.
> You killed a Praetorian on Venus and he dropped the black engram. Return the tower and once you are there take the engram to the cryptarch and he will give you a clue. This time, you got some sort of map with strange symbols, Cayde-6 can make sense out of this strange map. Once the map is given to Cayde-6, he will provide you with the location the map was pin-pointing to. Because the engram dropped on Venus, the location Cayde-6 found on the map will be on Venus, due to clues from the black engrams being location specific. Also, Cayde-6 deciphered what the symbols are, turns out this map is a guide to a location of a piece of the Super Good Advice exotic Machine Gun.
The location on Venus that cayde found on the map is the Vault of Glass. You must venture into the Vault, once done, Cayde-6 will contact you, notifying you that he deciphered the remaining set of symbols and provide you with instructions that will you to a piece of Super Good Advice hidden within the vault. The objectives this time around is to get a Memory Frame from a Gorgon in order to reveal the location of the exotic weapon piece. After getting the Memory Frame from the Gorgon, a waypoint will appear. It will lead you to the either of the following places:
A) The 4th and 5th chests found in the maze.
B) Random place between Gorgon's Maze and Atheon's Throne room where a chest containing the exotic piece and spirit bloom is located.
Once you find the chest, open it and a piece of Super Good Advice will be yours. Collect 3 more to finish the gun. Sometimes you will get more than one piece, even all of the pieces, and in a very rare chance, the exotic weapon or armor. So you will be needing a couple of Black Engrams in order to collect all exotic pieces, but if extremely lucky, only one engram.
NOTE: Weapon pieces must be taken to the Gunsmith so he can re-assemble the weapon. Armor pieces must be taken to Eva Levante so she can also re-assemble the armor, but since the armors need the light of the traveler in order function, armors need to be taken to the Speaker after being re-assembled by Eva Levante in order for him to "charge and cleanse" the exotic armor.
Edit 8: The final weapon you get is a cursed exotic. You must purify it to unlock its full potential. The weapon is useable but it isn't its most powerful form till fully cleansed.
Edit 9: Wish I could get some bungie feedback.

Edited by CrummySaint: 11/19/2014 11:58:40 PMI like the concept, but if it is to be as rare as you say I feel like it has to have another gimmick entirely, maybe something that removes it from the RNG completely by having it modify existing equipment and engrams or having it decrypt into any equipment in the game. Maybe having it modify existing would be the more interesting choice by [u]assigning black engrams exotic or unique situational attributes similar to those found in the vault drops[/u] that can be added to anything non-exotic creating a whole new class of item - [b]Black colored Uniques[/b].

Looks cool but have no interest in an engram that can turn into anything. Suggest the following. Bungie makes it so that weapons engrams always turn into weapons, and armor engrams always turn into armor. Add your engram and have that turn into ascendant shards/energy, motes, or strange coins.
-
Love the way it looks and its sounds like a fun Addition to the game if it was in it
-
I like the idea but make it ultra rare and decrypt into an exotic.
-
Black engrams aka the crypt arch strikes back!! Muahahaha!>:D looks awesome, good job sir!
-
Edited by GOAT Spartan: 11/19/2014 11:39:21 PMi think the black engrams should only drop exotic armor and gun pieces. :P the reason for this is because of the fact that since balck engross will have such a low drop rate, that they will counter this low drop rate by only dropping exotic items. but your idea is pretty awesome dude
-
Why would I want an engram that has a chance to be white-exotic, and has the same drop rate as a legendary. That sounds stupid mate.
-
-
Glad you're still able to find and make time for a hobby aside from grinding spirit blooms. Nevertheless, great work!
-
This exploded way huger than I thought it would...
-
I like it.
-
This is a really good idea, ive thought about something like this but for you to go through with it is great. Would be amazing if bungie added something like this but it's obvious they won't as they never listen to our ideas
-
Bump!!!!! Amazing idea!!! Hope Bungie sees this.
-
Will check later
-
Doooope
-
Looks good man
-
Is it just me being colourblind or is the engram not black? Nice idea for a random, would be annoying though to get a white from it.
-
I love it now how can we get bungies attention?
-
45% Rare 45% Legendary 10% Exotic Random items, interesting....
-
yes yes yes well done, nice work etc.....but its not black. its orange. ;)
-
This is such a racist idea! Why is it black and dreaded? Bigot =)
-
Edited by TitanKnight: 11/19/2014 11:14:21 PMThis reminds me of all the endless engrams I gave to the Cryptarch before he was "Talked down." And I hated that. Maybe if this engram granted a higher chance for an exotic item maybe I would like it. That damn Hard Light still alludes me, oh but I will keep chasing it down until my Titan (BTW, thanks to the Iron Banner, I finally will be able to reach lvl 30 and my Titan actually looks like a damn super soldier instead of a space pirate) finally get his exo hands on the rifle. Of course, I will resume my hunt once I have quelled my GTA hype.
-
Looks badass!
-
Well the looks are amazing and very well done. The concept is also pretty good too. There should be 20% chance of getting each colour. That way you are just as likely to get a white as you are for an exotic, and everything in between. I think this would make for a cool addition to the game, even though a lot of rage will be generated from people who got a Valka SR3 or Deacon RA/2 from a black engram. Anyway, bump.
-
Low drop rate with a high chance of dropping shitty items? No thank you.
-
We had an engram that had a random rarity in it. From green to exotic. It was purple and used to drop with more frequency then purples do now.
