Say goodbye to all those Strange Coins...
I am big fan of destiny and a day one player, I would say I was just above casual having only completed Hard Kings Fall once and only putting in approximately 10 hours a week (Due to work and socializing) give or take a few hours...
But for some reason since this strange coin nerf and everything being replaced with Legendary Marks as a reward I seem to really struggle with obtaining enough strange coins to get anything worth while when Xur arrives...
Anyone else got this issue?
I mean it makes no sense (To me at least) that they would remove the 9 coins from doing the weekly (So no certain reward you know you will get strange coins) so to battle that they bumped up the amount you would receive from engrams etc... But no they've nerfed that as well now!!!...
And then another bright idea they changed the engrams from Xur to strange coins instead of motes of light...
So basically we are stuck with mountains of motes of light and hardly any strange coins, the only actual currency that buys you anything worth while (Heavy Ammo, 3 of Coins, Exotics & Exotic Engrams)
I mean I get the logic behind making players think and purchase what they want/need strategically which is understandable, but I think they've just taken it a step to far! And yes I know you get around 4 for every faction package but they come few and far between to surmount to any sort of sustainable flow...
What's you're thought's?
Or if you have any decent Strange Coin farming tactics please provide below!...

Yup had a stash of around 250 and slowly decreased to 40 over the time ttk has been out.
-
6 RisposteThey should make it so that you can turn motes of light into strange coins
-
Idk about you but im usually getting about 35 sc per week, granted most of those are from nightfall I lost interest with weekly heroics before ttk so my strange coin count per week was definitly fewer before 2.0 but thats just me.
-
3 Risposte10 hours per week is not much time. You could try PoE level 28, but I found it has problems. I usually get only about 2 coins per run. Last night I ran it a few times. As happens all too often, those matches had players who left the game and were AFK. I get about 100 coins per week from other activities, including opening chests while on patrol.
-
To sum up the taken king economy: Yeah, I never seen to have enough strange coins. Wait a second, why the f*** do I need strange coins?

6 RisposteI'm averaging 100-150 per week somehow
-
Xur quickly becomes unimportant... I only get engrams / 3 of coins these days. 280 light equipment cost too much to upgrade ... I'm 310 light so engrams can decode to 310 light. I have in the past used 4 shards to upgrade armour/guns to around 300 light before hence always having low weapon parts (40 to upgrade each exotic + 12-20 lost from upgrade guns/armour)
-
I have 9 treasure keys.....so I'm going to go farm poe for them. At 300 light it will be a blast. What makes zero sense is taking the original strikes out of the heroic mix. I get more coins from POE, and strikes than anything else.

Do prison of elders.
-
If you farm PoE 28 you'll be fine. Easy coins and it's quick
-
Play the game more

1 RispondiI remember when I was a beginner guardian. I met Xur for the first time, and was always excited to see what he had in stock, but saddened that I couldn't afford it because I was a low level guardian who could only do 3 coin weekly. So after weeks go by I finally had enough to go to Xur and get me an Armentarium chest piece. My point is I think this strange coin nerf is a good thing. It makes the exotics you get feel more valuable instead of going to him every week and buying all the exotics because you have 300+ coins.
-
Nightfall give me either 21 strange coin or 31 strange coin and motes. That's my only drop. I have more strange coin than spirtbloom.
-
Leveling up Cryptarch & Vanguard / Factions give u 4 strange coins each plus ull get some from strikes etc..
-
Pick up vanguard bounties for a few days, then run strikes. They pretty much all get completed. Then a few poe 28s
-
I just do few poe 28s
-
7 Risposte-grind bounties (probably the easiest/fastest) -poe - the small chests usually had 3-5 coins -crucible About all I can think of. I have like 18 poe keys left and need to grind those out to use them up and build my coin stockpile back up.
-
Same issue. Before TTK, I had about 130 coins. Now I can barely get 13. I'm happy that I got most of what I wanted before I basically ran out, but it still sucks.
-
Yea I hear you I'll have 80 notes per character and 10 strange coins per character by the time xur rolls around so I have to grind for them
-
Before I quit, I was getting 70-90 SC a week. 3 characters, strike/bounty grind. Going up any rep rank gives 4 coins plus engrams decode into them a lot.
-
Add strange coins to the old raids and make them relevant
-
I don't play all that often and end up with enough to buy at least 2 things from Xur each week if I want what he's selling; I was able to buy everything he was selling a week or two ago. I run patrols a lot more than I used to, for glimmer and materials, and I'm guessing the engrams I get from there are my main source of coins. I haven't run strikes in weeks and have only finished war priest (hard) in KF. Coins are a pretty common reward from crucible also and I've been in the crucible quite a bit lately as well.
-
Very well said. I completely agree with anyone saying they should bring them back for the weekly
-
They should bring the weekly back and just have it drop less coins
-
1 RispondiI understand every shortage except strange coins and motes. I never am lackluster with SCs. Then again I don't buy half the garbage Xur brings anyways because let's be honest he shouldn't exist in this game anyways because top tier exotic items shouldn't be handed out for a measly 9 strange coins or whatever it is when you buy engrams. It doesn't make anything special or "exotic." Sorry. Side tangent. No. I have SCs. Idk how others don't.
