To the idiots who say grimoire is only ghosts...
Let me clear up the grimoire=dead ghosts claim.
Ghost account for about 5 grimoire each. Some Ghosts count for 10 or 15 though.
There are 77 dead ghosts.
77x5=385. Let's just round that up to approximately 550. Fair enough?
Only 550 score out of a possible 3620 (xb) or 3665 (ps) can be given to you by finding dead ghosts. While that is a substantial gain, it is not the key factor for a high grimoire.
You say Grimoire doesn't show skill? Let me brake it down.
Where did the other 3,000 points come from? It shows you have played a variety of PvE and PvP content, and that you have done them [u]multiple[/u] times. It shows commitment to the game. Whether that is a good or bad thing is up for debate.
Now, grimoire means, for the most part, [u]experience[/u]. You do not need a high grimoire score to be good. You can have a natural talent at the game.
But:
talent+experience=skill
When talent is refined with experience, that makes a player skilled.
[i][b]Being able to analyze the situation and go where you are needed without anyone having to tell you to. [/b][/i]
That is why grimoire, to me, means skill.
[b]Usually[/b] anyway. I will play with anyone, it doesn't matter to me. But, I will prefer people who have a higher score. I feel I can trust them to know what is going on.

[b]HOWEVER[/b] after playing MMOs as long as i did (destiny is not a MMO, but the concept applies to anything that can be done with competitive or cooperative multiplayer games), i have learned one very important thing: just because you've played the game a long time, have done most if not all activities, and have played all classes, subclass, specializations, etc. that does not in any way mean you are good at the game. i can't count the amount of times i have seen people who put more time into games than i ever could, have done more in it than i can / want, and still suck so bad they might as well be a noob. grimoire score at this point to me is only used to gauge if someone has a vague idea of what will be going on, not if he will be able to actually do it well. i have seen it too many times to think that experience with a game ever equals out to total skill.
