    You could keep farming for strange coins, 13 for the armor and 23 for the weapon from Xur on the weekends. He also sells exotic engrams for 23 motes of light. Another way is to turn in bounties. Sometimes you will get an exotic bounty lead that will give you a spicific exotic item. The weekly nightfall strike may not guarantee you an exotic, you will get high level loot. That includes legendaries and a lot of rare materials. Finally there's the Vault of Glass. While running through with a group of 6 I've seen 3 exotics drop for them. Also a lot of ascendant materials, awesome legendaries, and badass class items. Edit: We aren't even half way through the vault, there is still much more loot available for us. Those are the best ways to get exotics. Sure you could sit and farm for legendary engrams, but your chances are much better doing the above missions.

  • You gotta grind. I got lucky at level 22 and did a few strike playlists in a row and got a blue engram. when I cashed it in it was a purple legendary auto rifle. I was stoked.

  • So after grinding I got enough coins and bought gloves. Then after that I did the 28 weekly nightfall and was awarded a exotic sniper. Took an hour and a half to beat. Then after I coupleted a set of bounties I got an exotic mission line. Out of all the legendary engrams I've found only 2 were legendary things and I only use the chest. Some are lucky some work hard for it. It's week one. Takes time

          • It's pure luck. My first legendary engram turned into a exotic - I was expecting to get a blue or at best a legendary. I'm cryptarch level 2.

            • Never seen a single exotic for myself, only ever personally seen one on someone else in the 40+ hours I've logged. So you're definitely not the only one that hasn't seen any. If you can't handle RNG, then Destiny isn't the game for you.

            • Play nightfall strikes, you get exotic rewards, and also look out for exotic bounties.

                  • Complete bounties. After handing in a load of completed tasks I was given a choice between 3 exotic weapon bounties. Each bounty will reward a certain weapon and you'll need to complete several tasks to complete an exotic bounty.

                      [i]They let me pick. Did I ever tell you that? Choose which ever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others, you were strong and swift and brave. A natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw, but me. Can you guess?[/i]

                      • [u]Everything is fair whats being said[/u] This is the thing now, cause at level 18 you should start having a chance at those blue armor engrams, if your lucky then 17, and that should let you go into light levels. And im saying its the same at my level, i cant get to 25 and the only suggestion i can thinkbof is to get legendarys, and my side of the theory is that its the same chance to get legendarys at level 24 than getting blues at 18 or even greens at like 5.

                        • I swear it's all related to level. The higher tier level you are, the more likely better color drops appear. Under lvl 20 you have such a slim chance for a random blue and purple. 20-23 most drops are blue with a small chance of purple. 24+ there's a higher chance of purple and a small chance of yellow. The quickest way is to not worry about the drops and focus on light gear. I spent so much time farming from 20-23 and got zilch. Now that I'm 24 I get a few purples every hour.

                            • I got a legendary gauntlet engram from crucible. As I ran to the Cryptarch I said I would have his babies if it have me a legendary. I got No Backup Plan, and ran away so I wouldn't have his children.
