I have a bunch of runes so Court of Oryx is my next stop before the Raid. Will try and solo tier 1 but need a fire team for the others.

I solo'd a couple of easy ones at about 283. If you see me on, shout and I'll happily pitch in.

Love the court me.

I've picked up a raid at Oryx tonight.

Watched a video and assembled ikea flat pack furniture. I'm ready.

When you hit 300 exotics have a high chance of dropping at 310. Meaning you can use them to infuse other gear.

I think it's really good, once you've done the raid you've a real incentive to farm three of coins with strikes or the court.

I used the engrams drops from xur to max my helmet. Got the one that adds tracking to rockets, which works well with the raid launcher.

302 and counting.

Still not touched my hunter or warlock.

Phil, did you do an oryx checkpoint last night? Cheers for the help with agon arch rune and CoO. We got on a good roll with another fireteam and I was giggling at how quickly we were killing stuff.

Simo, that's a good point. I might save most of my strange coins and toc for nownow, as they will be a lot more useful post 300 for grinding the infusion trail.

Spoilers up to the daughters:-

I had a go with randoms last night, and it went OK. We opened the gate first time, no botherbother.

I hadn't done the war priest before but we got it on the second try. I was doing middle platform and made a mistake killing adds... My gun has firefly and I popped a group of 3 in one go which depleted my buff and then I didn't have any others to shoot so I just died. Will know for next time and not using firefly it doesn't look too bad to pop the occasional add.

Golgoroth was 3rd try I think. I was initially on thrall duty but I quickly realised I was doing one of the most DPS with my sniper so we switched around. I didn't have quick reload unlocked on my sniper but I could get in around 12 shots at around 60k per shot. Saw 100k when we had two supers active.

A pro tip for this, I have seen people successfully complete it using only one bubble at a time. On sight it doesn't look feasible as you spend so much time clearing adds, but actually having 5 peoplepeople firingfiring, a tighter timing as everyone is foccursed on one phase, and no need for thrall duty, more than makes up for itit. Definitely one to trif if we're all online.

We then did the second day jumping puzzle, which was new to me but not too bad, and then everyone had to leave.

I got 8 mouldering shards and a pair of lowly 300 gloves for my troubles smile

All in all was an interesting session with randomsrandoms!

Not done the Raid either.

Finished the Skyburner missions today and then bumped into a random at CoO and the two of us did about a dozen tier 1 and a tier 2. Good fun!

291 now and can see it'll be a hard slog to get higher without raid gear.

Any evidence harder strikes or higher tier CoO drop better engrams? Or all just random?

Need a better ghost too.

Managed a 299 machine gun (seem to be getting a lot of heavy engrams) but most of mine seem to be sub 295.

Still on 297. Did not get loads of time over the weekend.
Struggling with Ghosts as mine is still on 287.

Trying to grind through the exotic sward and a few others quests

I finished the raid, Orxy dropped the Auto Rifle, Hand Cannon and Heavy Machine Gun for me!

Ghost and boots are what's letting me down really.

Up to 303 now and might focus on some of the exotic quests instead.

Anyone done this yet?

It's the start of the Touch of Malice (310 exotic scout rifle) questline. You have to complete a raid, give some materials to Eris, do a few really hard missions and part of a strike, get 30 calcified fragments, do the raid again, get 45 calcified fragments and do another very hard mission. Easy!

A personal note. I've just tried to solo what I think is the last blight mission. It's very hard indeed.

have a read; http://planetdestiny.com/touch-of-malice-quest-gui...

on the face of it I wasn't going to prioritise it (I'm at the 30 fragments stage) as I already have a 310 primary but word on the street is that the Touch of Malice does more damage than pretty much anything and looks to be Y2s Gjallahorn.

That's an impressive jump! and some lovely drops!

Mr E - last mission is called fears embrace...apparently it is quite hard.

I didn't think it was so bad - just need to take down the blights quick then throw a sniper on the echo.
