IB Facts and FAQ answers UPDATED

Still a lot of questions and misinformation out there about the banner. So far, this is what I know. Win = 50 Rep Loss = medallion (max of 5 at once) Medallion = auto exchange for 30 - 40 rep each (before buffs) after one win. ***Edit. There have been a couple people who reported not getting rep from medallions carried over from the previous day. To be safe, end the day on a win. Emblem, Shader and Class Item = 10% rep buff EACH. The ones from the last banner still work. The level 3 emblem does not have a greater effect than the lvl 1. I would assume same goes for the lvl 5 shader. Tempered can be bought again after it expires *Update*** Tempered appears to give a 40% bonus today (Friday). Bonuses appear be calculated separately granting a little more rep than adding all percentages together first. Using this method, the bonus by day appears to have been 10%, 15%, 25%, 40%. If the pattern holds Saturday will be 60%, Sun 85% and Mon 115%. If true, we will see 143 rep per win with all 3 items equipped. 130 with 2 come Monday. **EDIT***. Nightfall DOES NOT increase banner rep won during a game. It has been reported that it will increase the rep you gain from IB bounties but this does NOT appear to be correct. It DOES increase normal Crucible gains so still do it first. IB exclusive legendary items Timur's Lash (hand cannon), Jolder's Hammer (machine gun) and Birth of History (very large ship) can be acquired in post game rolls. Most reports say only after achieving IB rank 3. It also appears IB Rank 3 may increase the odds of legendary engrams and exotic weapons on end of game rolls. Winning or doing well does not affect end of game rolls as usual. Lvl 0-1 100 rep Lvl 1-2 1200 rep Each level after 2400 rep The IB fusion rifle CAN be reforged to another element for 2 motes of light. To reforge equip the item and go to Lord Saladin. Reforge option is in the bottom. You can not chose what you want, it's random. You can continue to do this providing you have the motes. Armor can NOT be reforged. Rep buffs from IB gear also count towards IB bounties. **Additions** ***Dismantling IB gear does NOT provide ascendant materials. ***IMPORTANT UPDATE*** Many players are reporting not having their bounties reset the following day. This may be due to the fact it's the same 6 every day so try to complete all of them and MAKE SURE to turn them in before the reset. If anyone else has good info add I'm all ears. I also need data from today's tempered buff and medallion redemption data. Please tell me how much rep you get, what IB items were equipped and how many medals you turned in. ***thanks for all your help and for helping others who had questions in the comments.

    • I actually got 153 rep per win with 2 items (shader and banner) today. I think the percentage of rep goes up significantly as days go by.

        • The bonus of the rank five shader cannot be proven because rep completely stops at rank 5; the rank required to buy Goldspiral. In the next Iron Banner we can check, but I'd assume it gives no extra benefit.

          • On the subject of higher rank giving you more chance of getting IB weapons. Consider the odds of getting an IB weapon. Low right. Consider you start IB at rank 0. Since the probability of is low of getting an IB drop, you expect to play a lot of games before getting one on average. A lot of games = rep = rank gain. Therefore you expect most people to get their first IB drops by rank 3-4 or even 5 if the drop rate is really low. Conclusion: IB rank most likely does not affect drop rate. It's just the fact you've played a lot of games and have had a lot of rolls. Speculation of course but seeing as they don't increase your odds of drops for winning, I don't see why they'd bother to change your drop rate based on rank.

            • In case I missed something, there's no way to wear the IB gloves, chest, and arms and be 30 right? I love the way the IB armor looks but will probably never wear it if the set keeps me stuck at 29...

                • I got Timur's Lash the last match I played before hitting Rank 5 tonight. So it's probably likely the higher your rank, the better your chance of getting the IB Exclusives.

                          • Is it possible to get iron banner helmets and chest pieces from drops at the end of games? (I saw a hunter with a chest piece but wasn't sure if it was current or an old one)

                            I don't know if it matters, but you get two kinds of reputation from IB. You get, of course IB rep, but you also get crucible rep. However, if you wear a faction item that crucible rep goes to that faction. I know that's probably common sense knowledge, but I found it useful to gain some extra dead orbit rank while competing. I want dead orbit shaders!! *shakes fist at RNGesus*

                            Let's clear this up right now. There are no ranks after rank 5, because after winning a game at rank 5 I received no reputation points. And the number of items Saladin sells does not increase. There are no special rewards or items at rank 5, besides the obvious one's you can purchase.

                              • Had nasty lag with my firesquad for 2 days in IB, tower, and pretty much all activities, but then one of our firesquad saw online that the issue was Party Chat causing errors with the newly implemented chat options. We then left the party and went from 3-6 games of a .2 K/D to @1.5 for the remainder of the night. So in a nutshell, Do not use party chat in Destiny until they fix the issue or suffer laaaaggggg.

                                • You get points for CAPTURING flags, right? Not by having them (like BF or COD)? In theory it would be easier just having one flag, and defending it properly..

                                    • People are full of it when they respond to this. Doesn't matter what level you are. A sniper rifle round still kills you at level 30. Shotguns still kill from a mile away. Being level 30 is only useful for levels 25 and below. Hawkmoon and the last word 1-2 shot you. Stop defending this BS game. At least in Halo everyone knew exactly what was killing them. In this game Shotguns can kill you from 15 feet away. Grenades still do full damage. PVP consists of who controls the heavy ammo. Nothing less nothing more. They can't fix raid problems, they can't fix chests, full inventory problems, they can only fix cosmetics. They do not give a f about you. Nobody does. It's all about how much $ they can make off you. Notice they never respond to negativity only rely positive. Everything is a front nowadays. Just look at social media. Everyone fakes themselves to look better. Everything is a game.

                                        Just reporting that within the first 1000 rep after hitting rep level 3 I've received both a legendary chest engram and Jolder's Hammer on two separate occasions. I only received rare crucible stuff prior to that, so this would support your theory.
