*BIG ALERT! IRON BANNER IS DROPPING ARTIFACTS AT OR ABOVE YOUR LIGHT LEVEL!
Get in there Guardians and reap the rewards!*
.......
With the drop of Rise of Iron, many of the vendors have been forgotten by many players, mainly Eris. However, Eris is actually the best way to get an artifact at or above your light level with the exception of Hoard chests (Skeleton Keys are pretty rare though).
What you want to do is go to the Dreadnaught and head over to the Court of Oryx. Just start up a low level event, like Tier 1, and once you complete it you'll get a bounty. Once you complete this first bounty you'll get 250 rep, then you'll get a second bounty worth 500, and once you complete the second bounty you get a third and final bounty that gives you a whopping 750 rep points for Eris.
This means that you can get 1500 rep points for Eris per week from bounties alone, but how do you get the other 1,500 rep points for Eris. Well, there's a lot of ways actually.
1.) Doing events in the court of Oryx gives you Eris rep. Tier 1=25 points, Tier 2=50 points, and Tier 3=100 points. (If you need runes to start the events, Eris sells reciprocal and stolen runes in exchange for glimmer and black wax idols.)
2.) Exchanging 25 wormspore gives you 50 rep points. The best way to collect wormspore is to get a ghost shell that gives you wormspore when looting engrams on the Dreadnought(with all of the green engrams dropping everywhere, you should get a nice amount of materials.)
3.) Look at your abandoned quests in the kiosk next to the Vanguard leaders. There may be a few quests that give you Eris rep!
4.) Completing encounters and opening chests in Crota's End gives rep as well (credit goes to Battousai2086 for this one)
I'll add to this post in the future on how to complete the bounties quickly. In the meantime bump this post so that people can see it!
And remember, Destiny is LITTERED with RNG. An artifact is NOT GUARANTEED! There's a high chance for an artifact to drop (anywhere between 70-80%), but you could still end up with nothing.

I did the bountys several antiquated and stolen runes and even the dark below quest line and that 3 eyed cun* gave me a potato sack and a stolen rune. The best way to get artifacts is iron banner packages this week for pvp players. For pve do the siva strikes (320 ones) the Skelton key drop rate is much higher in this Playlist and once you get 2 (you can hold 3 but your going good to heroic next and you can only hold 3 so this way you don't lose any) go to the heroic list and play or skip them till you get valus as his chest is the only one with just a weapon drop and no armor. What this means is with bungies smart loot system your guaranteed one armor or one weapon from these chest and since there is no armor you will get a artifact at or higher then your overall light level. I ran 6 siva strikes (320 and got 2 keys and ran 8 heroics to get 1) this has also been confirmed by a few youtubers. :) Edit: you can hold 5 per character and 5 in the vault so 20 in total :)

Edited by Cinders-Shadow: 10/5/2016 3:43:41 PMYeah been doing this and hasn't netted me amything. 3 rank up packages and no artifact. Rng may have just been a jerk to me. Honestly, just do skeleton key chests and raids. Chests have given me a higher level artifact twice now and the raids given me one. Someone said it below buy it's truly important. Blue artifacts can drop very high. My artifact right now came from a blue

Forget Eris, too much of a grind and a good chance of not getting an artifact. Best bet, in my opinion is Septic strike, save your skeleton keys for that chest.

1 ReplyThis and a root canal. Goodluck and have fun grinding like a dentist with a meth habit.

1 Replyanyone know how much rep for the CE chests and encounters?
-
1 ReplyOr just skip all that and use a skeleton key at the end of a strike!?
-
You know what I did? I opened a blue arm engram and got a 365 legendary artifact (I'm 365), super lucky.
-
67% chance of a artifact. Very good information for the masses, good job.

5 RepliesI have repped up 3 times with Eris in past week; predominantly by grinding Tier 3 Court. She has given me 3 cloaks. I hate my life :(
-
Also getting the Trials Gold package gave me an 385 artifact yesterday.
-
4 RepliesAlso make surr to double check your blue artifacts. I found a 385 that i almost deleted because i immediately assumed it was 365

I've lvled that bitch twice so far and gotten 2 titan marks. . I am not a fan of eris, but I will keep grinding her rep.

3 RepliesSaved a few keys while running the heroic strikes today to use after Omnigul. Hoping for a perfect grasp of Malok. Blue 385 artifacts dropped both times I opened the chest. Not guaranteed but if anyone has an extra key that they're willing to use... may be worth your time.

Honestly just play the game normally. Trials, Raid, legendary engrams (decode up to 365), skelly chests, Eris... Lots of ways

Use a skeleton key on omnigul. I have gotten an artifact every time. So like 10

1 ReplyWhen I do court of oryx I equip a ghost that give me wormspore on engrams. You'll get 1-3 on each engram pickup even those crappy greens. It helps more than you'd think once you turn in all that sweet sweet wormspore to that hive hooker. Also I poop in her pot when I turn it in. Not sure if it helps but it makes me feel beter.. god I hate her
