Hey guys, sith here. A lot of import items to talk about in hopes to save u time and frustration. Please read carefully and bear with my grammer and horrid writing skillz
With the new updates it is now required to use an exotic shard to finish the upgrade tree in ur exotic weapons and armor.
The only way to obtain exotic shards is by breakimg down ur exotic weapons. Or buying them from xur for 7 coins each. Finally double exotic drops have a use!
Inaddition with the update any exotic dropped after are automatically at the new max damage level of 323!
If u do not wish to wait for this random drop u can take ur current exotic to xur to exchange for the more powerful version at the cost of an exotic shard and 7k glimmer. Warning any progression will be reset!
My advice is to use both the rng exotic drop and xur to ur own personal advantage. If u wait to rerecieve the weapon as an rng loot, u can save urself the hassle of spending extra exotic shards and coins. Once u get the duplicate u can break the old one down inorder to get the exotic shard for the last upgrade.
If u are rather impatient u can spend 1exotic shard and 7k glimmore for the gun upgrade and then 7 coins for the exotic shard to fully upgrade it once u xp it out.
Ok with the normal raid level 30 ur current 300 guns willbe just fine. However the hard will come in january and will be level 33. U will need both level 32 armor AND 323 guns. Armor is still more important then guns, but it is still somewhat helpfull to have maxed guns as well.
Due to this everyone will be at a 20% disadvantage in damage delt and recieved. Such as if all 29s where to do 30 vog.
Get the new raid weapons. They have special raid upgrades involving bounes damage to hive majors.
REMEMBER LIGHT LEVEL MATTERS MORE THEN WEAPON BASE DAMAGE OUTPUT!!!
Happy raiding sith,
Keep checkin in ever so oftin for updates, will edit till 9th
Ps
Level 31 vog comming soon!
Also for those who asked why continue to do the vault of glass. Further rewards such as these level 323 exotics. This is how its fair. If u where new to the game in general say got it for christmas and u where vault ready sometime after the 1st and u magicaly got ur first exotic drop. It would be a 323.
CE RAID.
primary weapons are hard mode only they say.
Also once again weapons droppend in raid are raif specific in their upgrades. Dont be so worried. Maxed solor and arc for knights will do the job just fine.(ex,fatebringer,vision of conflunce,hyinze vengence.etc...)
Checkout planetdestiny.com to view new gear indepth.
Also some guns require u to go through a process of evolution from blue(rare) to purple(legiondary) and some even yellow(exotic). DO NOT DISMANTLE ANY BLUE WEAPON DROPS WITHOUT FULLY EXAMINING THEM.
auto rifle and fusion rifle more
Also all u guys should be doing right now is collecting spirit bloom, relic iron, spinmetal, healium filaments, and marks, to buy more materials. Save black wax idols.
Save exotic bounties to finish on the 9 they will be the new max damage versions.
Acendent shards and energies u gonna need still.
Also good news for non level 30 stronger legondaries are comming! Yes thats right. More light

Edited by XLORDXSITHX: 12/6/2014 1:30:12 AMHard raid is level 33 and will be aviable in january. Only the new primary weapons will be aviable on hard. Also if u have an exotic bounty or u get one dont finish it. After the update u finish it and iy will be at the new attack max level.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was a bit confused by the new ascendant materials. Will the old/current mats be able to upgrade new legendary guns? Is there any reason to hang on to them, or farm before expansion?
