Ok so first what you want to do is equip either Transversive Steps (Warlock), Radiant Dance Machines (Hunter) or Dunemarchers (Titan). Then once you have those equipped the next step requires you to purchase a mat, carpet or towel from Eva Levante (Super rare items that she hardly ever sells, notice nobody pays her any attention anyways). Ok so now that you've done that the next step requires you to wait till Friday morning Pacific time. Next, locate Xur (He's usually in either 4 places in the Tower or at the reef). Ok now this is the most important part, wave to him and then lay the mat, carpet or whatever you bought at his feet. Still here? Good you've gotten the hard part out of the way, now the rest is up to each individual Guardian. How good you perform is anybody's guess (Make sure you hydrate before hand, I forgot to tell you that earlier). Alright now get on your knees and and be ready to give good old Xur the time of his life. Depending on what you hear afterwards will determine what kind of loot you will receive for your hard work. If you hear any of the following phrases while your busy: -"There is something inside me that wishes to connect." -"My will is not my own." -"An end is here." -"An end will come...we will be there." Then get ready because your about to get your sweet sweet exotic loot! Anything else will yield legendary or blue tiered rewards. Be warned though, if you hear: -"What sort of thing are you?" Followed by "Guardian down!" then you did it wrong... Good suck! I mean luck Guardian! Hopefully this handy dandy guide helps you earn some good gear! TL;DR: Wait for Xur on Fridays and have your Strange Coins ready.
