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."

Gonna get my Armadas back!!!!
-
Bump for later
-
I doubt this, didn't legendary engrams get dropped from vanguard tiger?
-
Can someone bump for later?
-
Time to grind for eclipse maw
-
I did 1 strike and got some old gear
-
Can someone please bump me for later? Thanks, appreciate it.
-
Never heard of this. I would love to get some of the old gear back. Tell me how it works out if you do try.
-
Say you get a legendary from tiger strikes, does that also mean you have a chance to get shards/energies from it? Or naw?
-
I remember getting a Crucible Hunter helmet in The Dark Below that was the old (pre expansion) sets (it was Orange on the showcase of it)
-
All I've gotten is a vanilla cloak from a legendary engram
-
Edited by ZeroBlackHawk: 6/26/2015 10:43:01 PMAren't they doing re-skins for them in TTK since everyone wants the old set.? So much for new armor, we get re-skins of old armor. In the videos of TTK from E3 you can see old armor sets re-skinned. The complaing next will be "no new armor set!!?!? Wtf re-skinned armor.!?!" Well you guys did ask for the old gear.. Here you go.!
-
Not true, Deej confirmed at E3. If you dismantle Vanilla or TDB weapons or gear you are shit out of luck. "These are the decision you must make". You can only get HoW guns and gear or anything with a 2 on it.

Edited by TheMilkman: 6/26/2015 11:33:45 PMI remember getting the swarm during TDB from a tiger strike, so um Confirmed?
-
Edited by bartski: 6/26/2015 7:22:45 PMTiger strikes. Only chance is legendaries from blue engrams from the rewards screen
-
I want vanilla gear is badass
-
This thread is full of morons
-
I think this works. I received a heavy engram from the "winters end" mission during the dark below. It turned into a zombie apocalypse. The same principle could very well work for tiger and roc strikes for their respective dlc armor
-
Are we to assume there is "a chance" at getting them from these engrams, or do we know they will turn in to their corresponding generation?
-
If by vanilla gear you mean the Tier 1 vanguard/crucible sets, those are no longer available. You can no longer achieve those armor sets and weapons. You had to saved them since before The Dark Below. Just take a look at my titan.
-
I was able to get a blue engram from a Roc Strike to decrypt into a TDB Legendary armor piece, so it does work, but you have to be sooooooo damn lucky to get what you are looking for.
-
I also have heard about this, but i can not confirm it
-
Where did you acquire this information?
-
I'm want some vanilla gear too. They should drop from the easier strikes right?
-
I would loooove some vanilla gear
