I am aware that he did, however, I didn't actually encounter Xur until Week 8. He was in the alcove opposite the Speaker, selling Patience & Time. Then I didn't know where he was the next week (not realizing he was in a different location from week to week). I found him again Week 10, selling The Last Word. But IIRC I didn't have enough coins, and since I didn't realize what those little symbols on the left side of the Destination screen (Nightfall, Weekly, etc) actually were- being they're not labelled or anything... I didn't know where specifically to go to get more. So, no, I didn't buy it from Xur, and no, I'm not a Christmas Noob. I'm a guy who learned the game by trial and error, instead of looking everything up on the internet. But by the time he next sells it, I'll have enough to buy 5 if I want.
