IF YOU WANT VANILLA GEAR

**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] [i]-Rain Darkrai [/i] Thank you for the information![/spoiler]

    I'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!
