I recently thought about going back to try and get the Negral Servant set (or at least the helm) for my warlock since it looks beast. Does anyone remember how to do this? I believe you are supposed to grind tiger strikes for vanilla and doc strikes for DB gear. Can anyone confirm this before I go on a grind spree?
Edit: Apparently this information is true. If you wish to grind, here are the steps for each kind:
Vanilla ([i][u]note: only works for armors[/u][/i]): Grind out enough tiger strikes until you have tons of blue engrams for the desired armor piece [i][u]from the reward screen[/u][/i]. Turn them in for a slight chance at getting a vanilla legendary.
DB: Grind roc strikes until you have tons of blue or legendary engrams of the desired armor/weapon [i][u]from the reward screen[/u][/i]. Turn them in for a chance at DB legendaries.
Engrams picked up off of the ground can only produce HoW gear. Yes, this is a battle against RNG, but the question is:
[i]How bad do you want it?[/i]
Edit #2: A new farming method has come to light which only applies towards acquiring TDB armor and weapons. If you are running and Eris quest, delete the bounty for it midway through the mission. Complete the mission and you still get rewarded. Go back to Eris, get the bounty again, and repeat.
Edit #2.5: There are reports of the Eris method not working. If anyone could confirm it is working/won't work, I would greatly appreciate it.
Edit #3: Here is a better way of differentiating engrams, to help people understand whether it will yield HoW or Vanilla gear. Here will be the description of the engram.
Vanilla: "The Cryptarch in the Tower may be be able to decrypt this object and reveal its contents."
HoW: "A matter engram of remarkable potency. The Cryptarch can decrypt this into a piece of armor/weapon."

5 RepliesI've seen alot of questions raised in the comment section of this post so for some clarification here are some answers. Hope it helps. You can get any pre dlc armor from wolf/tiger strikes with the exception of original faction armor. That means both vanguard and crucible gear can be recieved by decrypting old engram but I emphasize the drop rates are incredibly low. Out of the 30-40 tiger strikes I've ran I've gotten more old class items than anything else and not a single weapon. I'd say about one in 6 strikes might net you a legendary but there's no guarantee it will be vanilla as all weapons are now set to new drops only it seems. Blue engrams are you're best bet I'd say maybe one out of 50. To be clear this is only my experience with tiger and some wolf strikes. I've haven't really cared much to try and get dark below gear seeing as the New faction gear is just reskinned dark below. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'll equip my characters with old gear to show I have it and if anyone on the xbox one needs proof I have captures of the items being decrypted while wearing how armor
