**This is a reply to a question someone asked earlier, I'm going to put it here for any who don't know, please spread this information for all those awesome collectors out there!**
There's three ([i]I've personally confirmed two[/i]) ways to do this currently, however we don't know how TTK will change things, so start grinding now if you genuinely want a vanilla piece that badly.
[u][b]Method 1: Grind tiger strikes and below.[/b][/u]
-Only the engrams you get at the end of the strikes can be decoded into vanilla gear, and it's very rare you'll get a legendary engram at the end, but it is possible from what I know.
-Basically, decode all the blue engrams you get from the strike reward screens.
-Blue engrams with possible vanilla gear will [b]NOT[/b] say "remarkable potency" in their description.
-This method does not have any chance of netting you vanilla legendary [b]Weapons[/b] due to the fact that the reward screen will not provide blue weapon engrams, only blue armor engrams.
[u][b]Method 2: Rank up Vanguard and Crucibl[/b]e[/u]
-This is STRICTLY FOR CLASS ITEMS
-When you open a Vangaurd/Crucible package, there is currently a chance to get old class items
-This does not have any chance of netting you anything besides [b]Class Items[/b]
[u][b]Method 3: Grind for Patrol Chests[/b][/u]
-[b][i]I have not confirmed this to work. INFO MAY BE FALSE.[/i][/b]
-This works like the Tiger (and below) Strikes in a way
-Specifically hunt for blue engrams from these chests, anything else can be trashed
-You want to open chests as quickly as possible to raise you're chances of this working considering each engram will have a low chance of turning legendary, [b][i]I recommend looking up old farming paths for materials+chests if you weren't a vanilla player and don't know about how this works[/i][/b]
-Decrypt the blue engrams at the cryptarch and pray to RNGesus.
[b][u]IMPORTANT:[/u][/b]
[i]I stated this before, but I will say it again: [b]BLUE ENGRAMS (DECOHERENT) WITH "REMARKABLE POTENCY" IN THE ITEM DESCRIPTION WILL NOT DECODE INTO VANILLA GEAR NO MATTER WHAT.[/b][/i]
Meaning if you need to delete something for space, it should be those.
Good luck all!
EDIT 1:
[spoiler][quote]The Chrome Extension Destiny Item Manager will tell you the expansion an engram belongs to quite clearly, for anyone hunting these.[/quote]

Not worth as we can't upgrade this gear

So there's this Vanilla AR from New Monarchy that I saw someone using once... And I want it. Does anyone else have it? IIRC, the stats were pretty well balanced (RoF and Stability also even, good damage, decent reload, etc.) If you do have it, I envy you and also, lemme see it. Lol, I want to bask in your glory. But I still want it. How proven is this method? Can you Billy Mays me into using this method?

Reply please

I still rock my dust walker gear from the vanguard on my hunter. The original forever 29 armor.

Edited by Shadow Mario 8: 9/2/2015 1:23:46 AMOkay, I've got an idea! You know the Golden Chests right? Okay well there's one on Mars that is supposed to drop Decoherent Engrams! If my theory is correct then these should drop Vanilla engrams! If not we have proof Bungie is purposely preventing us from getting Vanilla weapons! Because if you think about it, what reason would they have to change the loot from a Golden Chest? None Edit: this is now confirmed!!! They drop vanilla engrams! I've only been able to get a Chestpiece and Helmet but if you'd like to help, open all gold chests in Mars, you'll eventually get one Decoherent engram!

Still got my og queens wrath armor representing true day ones

I finally got the Cloak Of The Leopard last night from a ROC strike, and it looks awesome!

The best way to get vanilla items is to put on Chatterwhite. It makes your gear as white as vanilla ice cream.

Edited by Penhalion Wolfe: 9/1/2015 2:10:23 PMTiger and below for vanilla gear plus the random stranger gifts too. I got TDB gear from mine (the ones you get for getting characters to certain levels like 20 then 30). Edit: The irony being that I need to get radiant shards.....
-
The only Vanilla gear I care about is the VoG.
-
There is actually a way to get kinda Vanilla legendary WEAPONS.... Do Vanguard ROC. Pray to RNGesus to give you a weapon engram AT THE REWARD SCREEN. You will then have a chance for 3 thing from that engram. 1) A crappy blue 2) A Dark Below legendary 3) A Dark Below FACTION weapon The thing is, faction weapons from TDB had no 1 in the corner and were the exact same weapons from Vanilla. Highly unlikely but possible. Remember only Faction weapons!

What's vanilla gear again?
-
It works inspect my hunters helmet
-
Can't you get them from roc strikes too?
-
My mate got an ldr last week from a toger strike

Edited by Kill: 9/1/2015 12:21:53 PMI've been meaning to try a theory but haven't got around to it... My son has the destiny DEMO on PS3 and all the vendors in it still sell vanilla gear! I'm wondering if it's possible to sign in to the demo with my acct and buy some vanilla vendor gear then bring it back to the full version. I play on Xbox one but my kid has a 360 also so I'm thinking of trying this to see if it works. [b]EDIT[/b]: it didn't work guys, it won't let you log into the trial on an acct with the full version. There is theoretically another way but it would require restarting. You could do the trial with new characters, the lvl cap is 7 on the trial and you're restricted to earth, but I think you could grind out for some marks then purchase the gear and then just purchase the full version from the trial, not sure if it's worth it to the rest of you but not really worth it to me. It was cool seeing things like devil you know and the comedian at the vendors though! Sorry guys I tried and good luck to those who will continue to grind!

Engrams from the golden chests turn into vanilla gear. I got a vanilla legendary chest piece on my warlock because of this.

Edited by HaloFanatic: 9/1/2015 7:09:12 AMI received a legendary engram for a helmet as a reward from a tiger strike. It didn't end being in the rewards screen, and it may have turned into a HoW engram because of it. It didn't have the "remarkable potency" text in it so I knew it was TDB or HoW. That's just some extra info there. [b]But the two biggest questions are:[/b] Can you get legendary weapon engrams from patrol chests or Tiger strikes? If someone could find recent proof of either, we could find out whether or not it's possible to get vanilla weapons anymore.
-
thats is a way to get vanilla gear and TDB gear but you seriously have mountains and mountains of rng stacked against you
-
Any chance we could take Vanilla gear with us into year two? I vrinded a LOT to get the stuff I have.

You're walking in the woods. There's no one around, And your phone is dead. Out of the corner of your eye you spot him, Shia Labeouf. He's following you About 30 feet back. He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint. He's gaining on you. Shia Labeouf. You're looking for your car, But you're all turned around. He's almost upon you now And you can see there's blood on his face! My god, there's blood everywhere! Running for your life (From Shia Labeouf.) He's brandishing a knife. (It's Shia Labeouf.) Lurking in the shadows Hollywood superstar Shia Labeouf. Living in the woods, (Shia Labeouf.) Killing for sport, (Shia Labeouf.) Eating all the bodies Actual, cannibal Shia Labeouf. Now it's dark and you seem to have lost him, But you're hopelessly lost yourself. Stranded with a murderer, You creep silently through the underbrush. A-ha! In the distance, A small cottage with a light on. Hope! You move stealthily toward it, But your leg! AH! It's caught in a bear trap! Gnawing off your leg, (Quiet, quiet.) Limping toward the cottage, (Quiet, quiet.) Now you're on the doorstep, Sitting inside, Shia Labeouf. Sharpening an ax, (Shia Labeouf.) But he doesn't hear you enter, (Shia Labeouf.) You're sneaking up behind him. Strangling superstar Shia Labeouf. Fighting for your life with Shia Labeouf, Wrestling a knife from Shia Labeouf, Stab it in his kidney. Safe at last from Shia Labeouf. You limp into the dark woods, Blood oozing from your stump leg. But you have won. You have beaten Shia Labeouf Wait! He isn’t dead! Shia surprise! There’s a gun to your head and death in his eyes. But you can do jiu jitsu… body slam Shia LaBeouf. Legendary fight with Shia LaBeouf. Normal Tuesday night for Shia LaBeouf. You try to swing an axe at Shia LaBeouf. But blood is draining fast from your stump leg. He’s dodging every swipe, he parries to the left. You counter to the right, you catch him in the neck. You’re chopping off his head now…. You have just decapitated Shia LaBeouf. His head topples to the floor, expressionless. You fall to your knees and catch your breath. You are finally safe from Shia LaBeouf.

The chrome extension changed my destiny experience

They will never know Queen's Wrath, unfortunately

Or, wait for new TTK armor from vendors. From what I've seen, the FWC helm looks like a reskinned Nerigal Savant III, and I believe it was New Monarchy that had the old Titan armor. Might've just been placeholders for looks, but they were images leaked on Planet Destiny. Check em out sometime!
