Acquiring Vanilla and Dark Below Gear
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."

Edited by JermsD: 6/27/2015 3:36:56 AMYou can ONLY get armor engrams from Tiger and below. I am not sure about TDB though. Edit:You also cannot get legendary engrams from the reward screen.

2 RepliesThe only Vanguard strikes i've played were tiger strikes. (because their more convenient and faster to grind). And I've been playing them since MARCH And I have never encountered a vanilla legendary.

1 ReplyI have a pre dark below helm on my warlock, attained through this way (before HoW came out), was pissed off at first because I was power leveling but thankful now. Ascended it over my int/disc helm cuz it's sexy. :) good luck in your search, I may try for some for my titan or Hunter.

5 RepliesEdited by sky: 6/27/2015 12:34:39 AMAs far as I'm aware this [i]only[/i] works for vanilla armour because the only engrams you can get vanilla gear from are the postgame screen engrams which are only ever armour. You can tell if it's a vanilla engram from the description. A vanilla engram will read something like "The Cryptarch at the the Tower may be able to decrypt this" whereas a new engram will read "An engram of remarkable potency, the Cryptarch will be able to decrypt this into [specific weapon/armour class]". I should add there is one way to get TDB (but not Pre-TDB) weapons and that's from Eris mission postgame. If anyone knows how to be able to dupe these while still getting engrams (I know you can dupe them by deleting the bounties mid-mission but apparently you can only get the engrams once) that would be amazing.

I actually heard that engrams from random patrol chests give vanilla engrams.

11 RepliesI wish. I want a longbow synthesis but I'm afraid it's not possible :(

No, you can't get legendary engrams at the reward screen (not anymore). You can't get blue weapon engrams either. The only way you could aquire vanilla gear is turning your vanilla blue engrams and hope they turn in to legendaries (you can tell if they're by the description: "The Criptarch in the tower may be able to reveal its content"; which is now the HoW' leg.engrams description). (it works only with armors, since you can't get weapons)
