So since i had decided not to buy the TTK DLC i have been farming patrols with one thing in mind.
Crucible weapons. Crucible weapons are level 30 with a 280 light level.
So why do i have them in mind well to level up my light of course and become the most powerful level 34 in the game! :P Mwahahaha and Im almost there. Currently im level 34 with a light level of 198 and just one more Crucible weapon to get.
Now your thinking "Well how does farming patrols help get crucible weapons?" Its simple really. Since i dont have TTK i cant earn legendary marks as easily as people with that particular DLC so i devised a plan. Farm patrols until i rank up in vangaurd or a faction and then collect my reward which is always a piece of year two gear. Break down said gear (since its level 40 i cant equip it) and get my measily 3 marks from it. Collect enough marks to purchase a lvl 30 crucible weapon then equip that to raise my light.
I also decided that once all three weapons had been collected that i would shift my focus to getting year two exotic weapons via the use of those three of coins i can buy from Xur and then fuse those to my crucible weapons to increase the light level on my character even more.
So in Short im totally awesome and you should all bow before me :P
Edit 1: This is not a money issue i simply refuse to buy the Taken King DLC for reasons of my own. So please Stop thinking i should just go out and earn $40 and buy it because thats not gonna happen.
Edit 2: To all those giving support and saying im awesome thank you. To all those doing otherwise well your just jealous :P
I will post in this thread again at a later time when i have my third weapon and let you know how much more awesome i have become :P until then off to patrols i go!
Edit 3: Now a Light Level 200 as a level 34. Accomplished by fusing my Scout Rifle with a Year 2 Hawkmoon bringing the total Light level of the Scout to 288. Actually thought it would go to 290 once it was fused but I guess 288 is better than it not going up at all. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Edited by Talen Card: 12/29/2015 10:35:21 PMHey, bungie is giving out free ttk codes. Just thought you may want to know. I know it's not about the moolah but... Catch you starside. Edit: it's a raffle.
-
Your a smart guy!!! Hope you get TTK for free. You deserve it
-
That is really smart. Why are you not in my clan?
-
if you are 360, my friends and i still love to run y1 content such as PoE and Raids. also Y1 crucible playlists and strikes. also if you ever decide to get ttk we could happily help you thru the story and such
-
That is actually very very smart. You are awesome. I can't wait to find out how that turns out for you
-
Looking at you still grinding year 1 activities puts everyone to shame who is complaining about year 2 content
-
Edited by KCSC400: 12/14/2015 8:45:50 PMFYI if you unlock all the upgrade nodes on the gear before you dismantle it, you'd probably get 5 marks. Don't actually open / enable the nodes just unlock. You will likely get more marks. I know for a fact that you will get more materials / glimmer (including exotic shards for exotics) when you dismantle.
-
Bungie will probably fix this lol
-
Have fun!
-
This is actually smart. Does TTK weapons actually drop for you? Or Legendary Engrams still?
-
Nice positive way of looking at things bud..your not missing much with this dlc.
-
OP= Potato
-
I mean whatever floats your boat man. If you're having fun more power to you
-
I think this is awesome! Good deal man making your [b][i]own[/i][/b] fun in a game. My only suggestion (idk if you tried this yet) but since you're farming patrols and such you should be getting hella motes of light and such right? Why not level up them legendary gears to get 5 marks instead of three?
-
Quite impressive
-
Respect
-
but if you put this much effort and seem to love destiny this much to do all this wouldnt it be worth to get ttk...
-
Seems like hard work. Just buy ttk innit
-
I'm legit impressed. Good job man.
-
Clever clever creature...
-
What if someone gifted you TTK? Would you accept it? [spoiler]not saying just saying[/spoiler]
-
Creative approach, no whining, progress and satisfaction. I approve of this, I'll pay more attention to my surrounding guardians now in patrol. Screw that servitor.
-
Wouldn't farming crucible rep be better ?
-
Wow good job dude. Didn't even look at the levels for the weapons XD
-
OK so I'm lazy and only read it till edit. Then stopped. But I will bow before your greatness. I will say good plan. Plus bud, I doing it to. I have ttk only because Walmart miss tagged it for 20$ lucky me. Still good idea.
