I can't understand why any one would waste their motes/coins on the heavy ammo from Xür when obtaining glimmer is 1000000000000000000000000000000 times easier and faster
By getting black wax idol I can run through the hell mouth and get 7000 glimmer in less then an hour, and same with the other consumable items where as with motes/coins you can only get motes by being lucky with a engram or by leveling up and coins by doing the weekly strike and nightfall and lucky engrams
There is also a chest run on mars that works just as well for glimmer farming, Xür might seem cheaper in his price but in actuality the weapon smith is a way better option
EDIT
I'm a day one player with a shit ton of time on my hands even with a full time job, and I am not blessed like a lot of you, I don't have all exotics and would rather spend glimmer for the ammo then coins so I can buy more exotics
Just did the hell mouth run and got 2000 glimmer in 8 minutes now at that rate I can get 7.5 runs in one hour with each run having 2000 glimmer, 2000 times 7 is 14000 which gives me 14 heavy ammo an hour, I normally play 5 to 7 hours a day depending on how I feel that gives me 98 heavy ammo on a 7 hour day and I play every day so then that gives me 686 a week if all I am doing is that one farm for 7 hours a day 7 days a week, I can do the strike on all three characters and get 27 coins for 135 heavy ammo in about two hours at max or I could spend them on the exotic weapons and armor for my characters that I don't have and not give a shit if elitist ass wipes need heavy ammo for crota hard because I'm not level 32 yet (-blam!-in RNG won't drop the boots)
This post is not for people who have a shit ton of coins, I get it your rich and can buy stuff from Xür but I can't due to me just now getting my second and third characters to 30

3 RespuestasI got 21 coins in 28 minutes running weekly/nightfall = 105 heavy ammo synth = 99,750 glimmer How long to farm 100k glimmer? More than 28 minutes?
-
Heavy ammo is the only thing xur has that i need....i bought all his speeder mods....am loaded up on all telemetries and i have damn near every exotic in the game...i have all weps and am pretty much only missing hotpf

Editado por Ebelski: 2/15/2015 8:03:35 AMI did a poll, obviously don't know how many replies it got. It clearly was not scientific or irrefutable because Destiny forum. The majority use 1 to 3 heavy synth a day. Seriously you get that amount glimmer by just playing. If people would stop whining and just play it's not so bad. If I get over 20k glimmer next time I'm in the tower I grab a few. Unless theirs some massive glimmer sink I don't know about. Which their could be.
-
you sir are clueless. i have 300strnage coins, i have every weapon in the game bar one. i own all exotic gear, icant spend my coins on anythng else. you get 5packs for 1 strange coin. which is a bargin.
-
what do you spend them on I you have everything?????? exactly why not spend it if you have everything and will get 10x more by the next dlc to purchase anything he sells 5x each if you wanted
-
1 strange coin- 5 heavy ammo 4750 glimmer- 5 heavy ammo
-
I used to think this way too. Until I ran out of other things to buy and realized one strange coin for 5 heavy synths is probably the best purchase for end game play. That's like one strange coin being equal to 4000 some odd glimmer.
-
If you were a day one player you would have an excess of 500+ coins if you never bought a single heavy ammo synth.
-
For a day oner you don't have much to your name.
-
Bruh I have 300 strange coins, I only buy heavy synths now lel
-
Editado por SH4D0W_FR0ST15: 1/29/2015 4:47:35 AMHaving three characters can be expensive. It's been a while since I've had max glimmer
-
what the heck man 5-7 hours every day ?! what is wrong with you ?!
-
I don't need strange coins anyways.
-
2 Respuestasand you can get 27 coins in 50 mins which is 135 heavy packs which would take you like 5 hrs (no hate just saying less busy people do this thats why they use glimmer fr probably weapons or armor upgrades)
-
Glimmer is a totally viable way to get heavy ammo, I've done it myself. However, being that Xur hasn't sold much I don't already have, and I run 3x weeklies so I'm one of those people with more coins than they know what to do with(150+ or so? Not even sure). I usually spend around 30 coins on ammo each time he sells, cause I go through it quick.
-
I don't know maybe because rng has been a little kind to me and he doesn't have anything else for me
-
You get 14k an hour. I get 9 coins from one weekly that takes around 20-30 minutes. Your 14k buys 14 ammo packs. My nine coins buys me 45 ammo packs. Now that you have three characters at 30 you will also be buying ammo packs and saving glimmer for weapon and gear upgrades. You will get to a point where you sit on 100+ coins and amp packs become the main thing to spend coins on. Motes will be for engrams or rolls on iron banner gear.
-
I have upwards of 60 strange coins and nothing to spend it on, and some people have 100s of coins
-
What else am I going to do with 230 strange coins...lol. Honestly though, 5 heavy ammo for one strange coin is really the best deal you can find for heavy, why spend hours farming glimmer when you can use a fraction of what you get from the 20 or so minutes it takes to run the weekly to replenish your heavy ammo synths. I guess if you need the coins for weapons/armor from Xur then use glimmer or black wax idols to buy your heavy, I just use Xur because I have the extra coins and end up needing all my glimmer for upgrades, I'd rather not have to farm for glimmer to get heavy ammo, then glimmer again to pay for weapon/armor upgrades. It's not like you need a lot of heavy unless you really like spamming rockets, I never really have more than two stacks (40) on each character, leaves room for all the glimmer items you get from running strikes.

Wow, lotsa flame for an honest question. If you PVE a lot you'll never understand it. Much like myself. The raiding elite here like to call the average gamer a "skrub n00b" because we don't understand thier elite problems... The reality is we grind for something to do, they raid. We make money and get bored easy, they get raid gear and like to act superior. Simple actually.
-
i have 260 coins and nothing to spend them on....why would i grind out glimmer...lol
-
1 RespuestaSo u can make 7000 glimmer in an hour which isn't much compared to exclusion zone but ok. So thats about 3.5 hours to max out at 25000 and that will get you about 25 heavy ammo synths. Or i can do the weekly once, maybe take me twenty mins if i go slow, get nine coins and thus 45 heavy synths. How is glimmer better again?
-
Simple the grind sucks I have around 100 strange coins so why not
-
You can max out on glimmer... Not coins
-
210 coins gotta spend them on something. And glimmer is used to upgrade weapons and armor and is consumed pretty damn fast
-
I have 145 strange coins and all the exotics I want. Of COURSE I would rather buy heavy synth for 5 per coin rather than 950 glimmer.
