All 3 characters. Will have ranks of factions, crucible, and vanguard ready to level up. (3rd character won't have crucible)
So that will be 15 packages.
(Plus 3 cryptarch) so 18 off the bat :)
I have 82 commendations right. Now.
20 vanguard.
62 crucible.
Will probably have around 90 when HoW hits
With nightfall buff each one will be worth over 312 (guessing)
That will be about 11 more packages right there
So around 28 packages. I know I will get some juicy new gear/weapons!
Engrams! (Right now)
24armor purple
3 weapon purple
5 exotic armor (will have 7 at launch)
25ish blue weapon (vault)
Have each armor slot on all 3 characters filled up with about 6-7 blues depending on how many gear I actually use
I would say a avg of 35 per character. Actually on the character. Given there are 5 armor slots
And a few weapon slots
Postmaster is filling up fast too...
Hopefully have 20ish on each there
I have about 150 blue saved across 3 characters of weapons, armor, and stuff in the postmaster sitting in lost items.
that's right now.
Hope to hit 200 and have everything all ready to go
Who knows how many packages that will be for engrams. Plus all the engrams I will get from the packages. I am guessing around
6-7.
Have 11 public events on my main
5 on warlock
7 on 2nd Titan
For exp of course of new gear
Have 5k bounties across all 3 characters ready to turn in when we get new gear also :)
Will have bounties ready to turn in after getting new gear.
45 exotic shards right now to level up exotics to level 34
(Might be good idea to save glimmer for exotics armor and weapons! That glimmer cost to make the guns and armor 34 power could take a lot of glimmer)
900 ascendant shards... Hehe many motes of light right there
Make sure you got tons of materials, and your marks up to 200
If there is anything that I missed! Please share info!
Yes... I'm crazy
Yes I am hoarding.
This game I love makes me enjoy every second of it
Share your prep work for HoW!!!
Please share my fellow hoarders!!!
MAIN EDIT* for those that say I have no life or saying negative things cause I play to much.
I HAVE CROHN'S DISEASE. It is a IBD. Auto immune disease. I have had it for 10 years. And have had 15 surgeries. And for over this past year I have had 3 and been out of work since. It's been tough with many setbacks. I can't seem to catch a break.
So yes, I have lots of free time on my hands. There are days when I just simply have to lay in bed most of the day.
So please stop with the negative comments.
This post is to help people in game on what they can do to prep for HoW. And I would like it to stay that way. Destiny is one of my escapes that help me a lot to just relax.
EDIT 1 it seems a lot of people are thinking I already have these packages saved up in my postmaster
That is not the case
I have all my ranks just ready to go to the next level with just 1 patrol mission. So I will gain the package AFTER the launch of HoW
So the package will have chance at the new gear
Edit 2 the reason I am keeping all the engrams is the cryptarch packages I will be getting after HoW launches.
YES I know all those engrams saved will NOT turn into DLC gear
But, the packages I get from all the engrams I will turn in might.
EDIT 3
Over 100comments! Yay! Spread the word so more guardians are ready!
Edit 4. 175 comments! Cmon lets get 200!
Edit 5! We hit 200! Thanks everyone!
And I have been seeing some of you asking for me to make a video when I turn in everything to see the evidence of what I get.
I will do my best to make that happen even tho it is not my thing
Edit 6! Over 400 replies! Thanks for all the support!!! I will def be posting what I get after launch!
Edit 7. We hit 500!!!!!!!
Edit 8. 700!!!! Thank you everyone :) keep this alive until launch on May 19th!
Edit 9. It's almost time everyone!!!!
Bring this thread back to life!
I know it's been awhile, but anyways
I got 8 gear for a hunter (armor)
6 for a warlock
5 for a Titan
I got 7 new HoW weapons when I did this also.

1 ReplyEdited by JHarv: 5/11/2015 11:11:31 PMGood thing you gave me the details of exactly what you're doing to prepare for HoW. I was a little worried I wasn't going to be able to make it through the launch!

1 ReplyLike a boss! This is what is be doing if I had the time
-
2 RepliesSo are you keeping engrams just to level your cryptarch? Because the ones you're saving will still contain DB gear.

2 RepliesEdited by Diamond D Nice: 5/11/2015 10:12:43 PMFirst. My brother has Crohns. Hope you can find a way to manage it. second, i've done pretty much exactly the same. i won't bore you with numbers but we are in the same range though, i didn't buy Crota dlc, can't run roc strikes thus i have like just 3 legendary engrams and the rest blue. i also stored all of those house banners, network keyes etc that you turn in with the cryptarch for glimmer, in my vault. So i have like 100+ in my vault. I still have to get one character back to where it will go up a level because i accidently ticked it over a vanguard level. But i started this in march when i burnt out on Destiny. So then i basically all i did was get a few bounties, turn them in to get all my factions to the limit. But i was already close on several. people will criticize you but honestly, i doing this i played monumentally less Destiny than others. Because i only rand 100 pt bounties and basically that's it. Oh and i did the weekly and nightfall cause it was worth likd 400 rep each. I was also above 3 on most of my factions already because at one point i switched them all to dead orbit to try to get shaders and then all to new monarchy to go for a red hand ix. If i'd tried i could have done it in a few days. But i spread it over more than a month. plus last week i got all my crucibles up playing iron banner. So i really did what i'd normally do and less of it. now that i'm at the limit i'm kinda on hold cause i can't do much without moving up a level. did a raid that's about it. now my tasks are farm some glimmer cause i blew some on iron banner gear. Then get my one guy back up to the limit, max out bounties and i'm done.

2 RepliesNew idea for you. Go outside

2 RepliesThe vendor gear is gonna have 36 light and you'll still need etheric light to get it up to 42. same with weapons they'll start at 331 and need etheric light to hit 365. so all of your gear you have now, assuming you're 32, is as good as anything you saved up for will be. Just saying you can see this if you watch the reef reveal and pay attention
-
2 RepliesI have basically the same except I have 18 public events with all three characters. So I will have to make trips back and forth from the postmaster to the bounty dude when levelling factions. Your engrams will be dark below gear once you open them in HoW.

2 RepliesYou will get bored quickly but still a good strategy

4 RepliesYour prep work is exactly what I attempted to do. I just ran out of time.
-
3 RepliesEngrams saved will decrypt to pre-patch/pre-expac items. Other than that, solid ideas for being prepped.
-
1 ReplyThat's awesome! Wish I could do that! Good luck with your disease
-
1 ReplyDid the same as you mate. Got over 50 + engrams only legendary and exotic i Will open after How. And all my factions ready to go. Will also make 2 vids of the engrams. Pre dlc and post dlc. Gonna post them up here for who wanna watch it. Good luck fellow guardians.

4 RepliesI made an Excel spreadsheet of things to do each week in preparation for HoW. Just wish I could play more!
-
1 ReplyCrohns eh? Hope you're managing it as best as you can. I have diverticulosis and read up on Crohns before I was diagnosed. Glad you have a positive focal point like Destiny to take you out of reality for a while.

3 RepliesWhat's the point? I'll catch up to all that preparation in a matter of days.
-
6 RepliesCan someone reply to this post if OP makes a vid of him opening all this stuff?? Need something to watch in my lunch break at work on the 20th lol

My how prep is get crucible weapons to 331

3 RepliesI've being working crazy hard recently to finish levelling all of my exotics and other legendaries before HoW. Up until bungie confirmed it, I was preparing for them making us have to upgrade everything all over again, so I only upgraded a few things that I used so often, and now I'm playing catch up. The main thing that slows me down is having to go farm for glimmer every couple of minutes because I spend the full 25000 just levelling up stuff that's ready. That and I actually ran out of hadronic essence on my warlock, that stuff is super slow to build up, but I only need 100 more and then I've upgraded all of my gear for him. Really wish I had started preparing sooner now.

7 RepliesEdited by Vendicta: 5/11/2015 12:05:42 PMLol, OP thinks his engrams will give him new dlc weapons and armors. Can't wait to see his next thread after release "wtf bungie, my engrams YOU OWE ME!" Hahaha

2 RepliesWant to do the same thing on my account?

3 RepliesThis is awesome man, you should defiantly make a vid of you opening and turning in everything. I have been slacking with prep work myself, I got board with the game and started playing borderlands but started playing again about a week ago. I have my vault half full of Legendary engrams and am making sure I have at least 200 of materials on each character. Will probably spend this next week startigng after reset tomorrow to max out my marks.

1 ReplyI played exclusion zone for about 10 minutes yesterday so I think I'm pretty much ready for anything the DLC has to offer 😅
