Xür is very very bad (Math is here)
I use glimmer to make the eqautions simpler and not into decimals...
I'm not going to complain about how Xür "never sells something that [i]Elite Players[/i] need"
I'm here to tell you the facts...
From the gunsmith you can buy 1 heavy synth for 950...
And from Xür you can buy 5 Heavy synth for 1 strange coin...
950 x 5 = 1 strange coin...
1 strange coin = 4,750 glimmer
A exotic armor piece cost 13 strange coin...
13 strange coins = 61,750
Exotic armour piece = 61,750
(4,750 x 13 = 61,750)
To upgrade and armor piece (for example VoidFang Vestments) you need:
VoidFang Vestments
A exotic shard
And 7,457 Glimmer
For 1 exotic shard that is glimmer ...
(4,750 x 7 = 33,250)
So that means that you need 40707
(Not including the fact that it could cost you another 61,750 Glimmer for the actual armor piece)
This means you "saved" 21043 glimmer
But if you were to just buy a new Vestment
And dismantle that old one for a exotic shard that would cost you 33,250 Glimmer
So in comparison of cost
Upgrade: 40,707
Buy new: 28,500
So that means that you are saving 12,207 Glimmer by purchasing a new one...
So why would anyone want to upgrade?
Why did bungie do this?
Did bungie think all of there players are dum?
Did I notice this because I'm a genius in math?
[i]P.S. Yes to the last one[/i]
Edit 1: thx to the people who pointed out that strange coins are 7 not 9 never noticed that...so thanks

1 ReplyAn exotic shard is 7 strange coins i believe
-
Maybe to upgrade weapons....?
-
1 ReplyFunny thing is strange coins are easier to earn than glimmer
-
3 Replies1. It's obvious 2. People will choose to upgrade if the choice to purchase is not there. P.s. Am I a psychiatrist? No, it's easy to predict that people would rather get a cookie instead of waiting an undetermined amount of time for a bigger cookie
-
1 ReplyGiven the chance I usually buy new, but Xur keeps selling what I want to upgrade with much crappier stats.
-
1 ReplyDat math tho
-
1 ReplyActually back when you could exchange glimmer for a coin it was like 2.3k sooooo
-
2 RepliesI can't read the rest because I don't know what "eguations" are

1 ReplyStruggled to read after eguations....
-
A shard costs 7 coins, just saying.
-
Except glimmer doesn't convert into strange coins, therefore you're an idiot.
-
Don't care what it costs for a new one it and upgraded one. Upgraded ones level loads faster so typically I lean towards upgrading. Though for armor, they can range in the stat rolls. Sometimes a difference of 20+ so I'll go with whichever is higher in stats.

1 ReplyHere's one fact you forgot to add: Having your hopes' crush every Friday= Priceless

1 Reply[quote]For 1 exotic shard that is 42,750 glimmer ... (4,750 x 9 = 42,750)[/quote] Xür sells Exotic Shards for 7 strange coins not 9
-
The only hole in why any of this would matter is that you cant buy strange coins and nor can sell coins for glimmer..these are merely fun facts..
-
There is a b on the end of dumb there genius
-
But do u really want to try and wait for a new one to come out? I bought Gjallarhorn from Xûr and im not trying to wait for him to sell another
-
Why would anyone upgrade? Well, I wanted a 331 Suros for Iron Banner. This was right on the heels of the dlc and I got it maxed in time. Was also getting new armor and legendary weapons gathered and maxed, it was a beeitch trying to get ready in so short a time. Pretty sure I did Sunbreakers too but, I may have purchased those.
-
Because it's not glimmer, it's strange coins
-
2 Replies23 motes = 13 coins 5 wax = 1 coin = 950 glims
-
No. To the last one. I'm a dumbass at math and I got that it was not worth it to upgrade anything the first week they did upgrading.
-
Xur doesn't always sell the upgraded version so it's often worth it. For example, gjallarhorn, thunderlord, etc. Also exotic bounty weapons if people are too lazy to do that again.
-
1 Replyno because alot of the times he doesnt sell the upgraded version so you upgrade it instead
-
Sometimes the upgrade has a ridiculous roll thou.
