This is my guide of how to prepare for The Taken King. [b]Max your Characters-[/b] Make sure you got the best shit you can have on your character, you need a good load out to start TTK before you get new stuff. Make sure your subclasses are maxed too. [b]Exotics-[/b] Get your exotics ready, they will be upgradeable and useful in TTK. Fully level the ones you think you will use. Also get exotic shards ready for other new exotics. [b]Vault/Inventory-[/b] Unfortunately it's time to say goodbye to some stuff in your vault. If you have it in there and don't use it, delete it. I went ahead and deleted a bunch of weapons and armor I didn't use already. Also stock up on old engrams to boost your Cryptarch rank when TTK drops, you get new engrams from your packages. [b]Bounties/Factions-[/b] Edge your factions! This includes Vanguard, Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, New Monarchy, Crucible and Cryptarch. Then stock up on Bungie's to level your factions to get a package right away. Also a full inventory of completed bounties will give you plenty exp to bump you up into the new higher levels. [b]Materials-[/b] Stock up on materials, including armor/weapon parts, and planet materials like Spin Metal and Relic Iron. The more the merrier, and less farming later. [b]Currencies/Marks-[/b] Max out your Glimmer and marks before release. Get ready to go shopping. Stock up on stuff like house banners for even more glimmer! Also get motes and coins (not like we already have a lot of those), get ready for more stuff! [b]Raid-[/b] Get shards and energy! They can be converted to motes and glimmer, thus giving you even more currency! WOOT! Also go for class items and exotics if you still want them/don't have them yet. [b]Snacks-[/b] Stock up for a long night of gaming. Get your energy drinks and water ready. Get your non greasy and crumby snacks ready too, we don't need no Cheeto fingers ruining our controllers. I'll probably be running peanut butter sandwiches, crackers w/ peanut butter, beef jerky, Coke, water and paper towels. That's my prep guide for TTK. If you're not ready then get moving! If you think you're ready you ain't! Grind more!
