Ultimate Guide: Strange Coins & Public Events

[b][i]Introduction[/i][/b] [quote]A Public Event is a type of multiplayer match in Destiny in which several players in the same area work together to achieve a common goal. Events may occur while on patrol or within strike missions. They are rated after completion based on the Guardians' performance; if time runs out before the objective is met, it is a Bronze-Tier rating. If time runs out but the guardians manage to almost complete the objective, it is a Silver-Tier rating. If the objective is completed before the timer runs out, is a Gold-Tier rating. Guardians are rewarded with Glimmer, experience, and sometimes a rare material for Gold-Tier ratings, which are rewarded instantly. Guardians can also pick up an additional reward at the postmaster if its their first gold-tier rating of the day.

[b]Defend the Warsat[/b] - Have your Ghost scan the warsat; the more Guardians that stand near it, the faster it can download the data. Defend yourself from waves of enemy reinforcements. [b]Defeat the Devil Walker[/b] - Destroy a Devil Walker before time runs out. [b]Kill an Enemy[/b] - A powerful enemy with high health and rapid shield regeneration will appear. Defeat them before they reach a checkpoint; this will require heavy firepower from several players.[3] [/quote] [b][i]Public Event Schedule[/i][/b] [b]Old Russia[/b] [quote]The Steppes Event: Defeat Extraction Crews Start Times: X:10-X:25 & X:45-X:55 Mothyards Event: Defend the Warsat or kill boss Start Times: X:00 & X:30 The Divide Event: Defeat Devil Walker Start Times: X:10-X:15 & X:40-X:45 Rocketyard Event: Kill Hallowed Knight Start Times: ?

There is a countdown to defend the area.

Most of the enemies found in these events will be very powerful. (i.e. Hallowed Knight, Reaver Captain) Fighting in this event does not reward the player with any bonus experience.

At present this is the closest you can get to Strange Coin farming in Destiny. – To make this easier for you, check out our “Destiny Rare & Legendary Engram Farming Guide” page. • Strange Coin Location #5: 1 Strange Coin will occasionally be rewarded to you for opening up Golden Chests. This most often seems to happen in the 4th Golden Chest on Mars at The Iron Line. – Find out where these chests are on our “Destiny Golden Chests Locations Guide” page. • Strange Coin Location #6: 1 Strange Coin is either given as a random loot drop or as a reward for killing the Draksis, the House of Winter’s Kell boss at the end of the “Story Mission: Scourge of Winter” on Venus. Once defeated, he will drop a ‘Strange Trinket’, which you’re then able to turn into the Cryptarch and he’ll give you a ‘Strange Coin’. — Thanks to KSI for the tip! • Strange Coin Location #7: 1 Strange Coin can be obtained by completing a Public Event. – These Fireteam group events may happen while on Patrol or within Strike missions. Afterwards the Postmaster in The Tower will have the Strange Coin for you. • Strange Coin Location #8: 1 Strange Coin is in rare cases received as a reward for finishing a Mission. • Strange Coin Location #9: 1 Strange Coin is in rare cases received as a The Crucible match reward.

The in-game description of the strange coin reads: "This unusual coin is warm to the touch and vibrates gently in your hand." It can be obtained by participating in special events such as weekly Heroic Vanguard Strikes, though you'll sometimes be lucky enough to receive one after beating the first Public Event of the day, or by decrypting an engram. The coins can be traded for Exotic weapons and upgrades (including perks for Sparrows) by speaking to a mysterious NPC, Xur. " Note: Daily heroic strikes do not yield any strange coins. [/quote] [b][i]The Agent of Nine[/i][/b] [quote]Xûr, Agent of the Nine primarily deals in exotic armour pieces and exotic weapons. Each piece of exotic armour requires 13 strange coins and each exotic weapon and engram costs a total of 23 strange coins. Visit Time: Xûr comes to Tower hub at 9:00 am every Friday and leaves at 9:00 am every Sunday. (US Time) He also deals in one-time use items that increase the weapon progression speed for about half an hour for 1 strange coin and various upgrades for sparrow for 13 strange coins. Note: At any given time, you can only have one piece of exotic armour and one exotic weapon equipped.
