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 ReplyHey, right on to you. I hope you feel better and am sorry you have to deal with such a horrible disease.

2 RepliesEdited by SaintSaul12: 5/10/2015 11:28:32 AMRemember to stock up glimmer consumables too - house banner, silken codex etc So that we have more than 25000 glimmer for gear upgrade I have 24000 worth of such consumables stock up

1 ReplyYou are doing a lot of things right. This vid has most of what you talked about but be sure to pay attention to the commendation section. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cXPwg3Fsjfw

Edited by lewbran247: 5/10/2015 1:06:46 PMThe good gear I think will come from the reef you cant prepare for that just play when it drops, rank up new fractions

2 RepliesSince they are getting rid of commendations in HoW but everyone is saying the Faction packages will drop pre-DLC gear, do u think your packages will also drop you a commendation if opened after HoW drops?? Also, another tip...spend all your new HoW packages before spending your vanguard/crucible marks just incase u already get the gun you want via a package and not waste your marks.

Every faction awaiting (1 bounty on each one with 10 bounties completed on each character) at least rank 10 on each character (NM: Titan 57 Warlock 23 Hunter 19) which includes cryptarch, vanguard and crucible. All engrams since they released May 19th as HoW drop date (11 exotic engrams on all characters, 24 legendary engrams in vault and I don't want to count blue engrams, but probably around 110-120 for packages), holding exotic bounty missives, postmaster about full on each character with packages of each faction as I stated above, commendations overall at 109 (vanguard 37 crucible 72) max marks on each character, 1157 ascendant shards, 812 ascendant energies, 170 radiant shards, 116 radiant energies, 27 exotic shards, over 1000 weapon parts, 500+ of each material. Yeah I'm pretty much like you here, except I think I'm going a little overboard, but only because I have no reason to be doing this with my job/family business.

4 RepliesPackage saving is a waste of time because you will only get gear in dark below. You only get the gear that you got the package in that dlc
-
1 ReplySave your glimmer consumables (silken codex, axiomatic beads etc.) cause you should get to glimmer cap w/o them and you can use them when HoW drops.
-
1 ReplyAfter reading the How updates it looks like Bungie have reduced the glimmer and material costs for upgrading gear, also they have a smaller perk tree. I've been Hording for a while but I think we will have prob over egged it, I think it retrospect 200 marks and pending faction levelling would have sufficed. However we prob have enough to last us until Comet!

3 RepliesWell you have gone OTT, you can't get above 331 with the new weapons anyway until you get a weapon core. Anyway a more concentrated / clear view of what you can do to prep for how and what sequence you need to follow on day one can be found below. Assumptions: - Faction level within <50 points of lvling - Public event daily reward accumulated at the post master - Glimmer maxed out - Plenty of beads, banners, codex's etc saved - 10 x 5k bounties ready to hand in - Lots of shards, energy and lights saved up - Lots of armour and weapon materials saved up - Lots of relic iron, helium, spinmetal etc saved up - Maxed out vanguard and crucible marks Day one sequence of activity: 1) Go to a planet and carry out patrol bounties to level each faction on each characters 2) Go to the post master and open each of the faction packages (hopefully you will get armour and weapons) 3) Use commendations to level up more factions and open up more packages 4) Buy any gear you are missing / want using marks 5) Reroll weapon perks at gunsmith if desired 6) Ascend exotic armour / weapons 7) Equip new gear and weapons 8) Cash in bounties 9) Cash stashed up daily reward packages 10) Upgrade equipment 11) Cash in tokens where needed

3 RepliesAbout faction packages. They will turn into pre-dlc gear

1 ReplyHave you leveled all your primary raid/exotic weapons with an element? It might prove very important in the PoE. I don't mind that you're doing so much preparation and it's understandable in your situation, so if you ever wanna team up I'd like to join you.
-
1 ReplyGot all chars ranking up factions, that will 8 packages. I have around 60 accommodations, maybe 15 exotic shards and lots of materials, shards and stuff. So I will be ready!! Only setback, just one of my chars plays pvp, so I only have 200 cruc marks...

4 RepliesEdited by RAPTURE RS: 5/10/2015 9:26:40 AMDone the same but with addition of saving all house banners, beads ect as glimmer is gonna be burned through quick But engrams saved wont work
-
1 ReplyYou're not crazy. I'm doing the same thing, and have around the same number of total commendations.
-
1 ReplyWhy do you wanna rush a game that already has limited content? I'm not hating but why don't you jus enjoy the dlc and make it last? Rather than blitz through it and get bored quick?
-
4 RepliesLol he doesn't know that those packages are already set as this look available already so when you open then when HoW releases it'll be the old gear still not new that's why most people are just getting every faction close to levelling up so when the dlc hits we can rank it up and get the new set of packages. How don't you know this but I'm sorry to say you've wasted your time.
-
2 RepliesWait have I missed something? What can we do with all the commendations?
-
8 RepliesFeel free to add me on Ps4 J_TheBird13...I'm slowly getting my stuff set up. If you ever need a raid or PoE companion just hit me up. I'm on sporadically on my days off work, I'm on all the time

1 ReplyI have quite a bit of stuff saved up. Somewhere over 100 commendations. Over 2000 shards/energy (2500 if you count radiant materials) Over 30 Cryptarch packages Over 35000 in glimmer in vault Most of this stuff was done unintentional and had nothing to do with HoW.
-
3 RepliesWell done. I'm not gonna be that ready. I should have all my factions ready for upgrade though. And maybe enough engrams for some Cryptarch packages. Just curious though, why buy exotic engrams before the dlc?
