Wait...if you're saving exotic engrams for the next Expansion...what about Sterling Treasures?

Save the Treasure!

I want my desolate gear now!

88

...What are those?

29

Those yellow ornaments may yield some new gear (that we should've had a long time ago according to armory history but I digress) and old gear at the new LL but what about those weekly three boxes of pretty pirate booty? We can entirely expect that there will be a change in possible rewards from those bedazzled packages as new gear is revealed during "Iron Fall" and since RNGesus has blessed me with the full Desolate gear, both ships and the sparrow (don't really care about spektar atm as I'm trying to build me a tier 12 Titan first, my hunter will probably be hit with chroma eventually since I've been saving like every single piece I got) I honestly no longer have a need to open them (Only booster I use is for crucible as that is the mode I play to faction rep horde, and I get those from the crucible packages). Now now let's really be honest...I can't be the first person with this idea and Bungie has probably realized that some have started already due to frequency of opened treasures (I'm sure they track stuff like that since they are also technically a purchasable item). So we get two options, just keep opening them like we have been since their incarnation or risk something similar to the faction package fiasco of YR 1 (I didn't have 20 FWC packages waiting in my post master but there is a reason why you no longer can and the reward is instant and you miss out on the previous package if you rank up again) What do you guys think? Write below or just vote in the poll above.

  • So a lot of mixed reactions I'm seeing with a bunch mentioning engrams (I made this topic to discuss the option of saving the treasures initially but this brings me back to the year 1 convos I had when people were angry they popped their engrams before dark below) I'll give you guys my plan, let me know what you think. So from recent experience especially with this hot fix that went out yesterday, it seems like changing and/or adding things to the possible loot within a Sterling Treasure package is guaranteed possible with the proof being the new orange, magenta, and green chroma items. That being said, I believe hoarding said packages will be the new hoarding fad. I don't see bungie do anything in terms of how they drop, the way we get our weekly three (maybe tht number will increase due to new activities), and the rate at which someone can get the possible loot (I feel for those that still don't have their taken emote, I was lucky with two pops in a row last week netting me the last two pieces). Now I saw someone say that due to opening my big mouth, a possible incursion of "gold" packages may be implemented to target the weak willed into still spending silver on whatever new loot they add. To that I say, I don't think they needed my big mouth to motivate them into doing something like that. If we remember correctly, destiny tracker and other sites searched through the code to see that boosts were already in the making way before april update. That being said the "no silver spenders" will most likely be appeased like before and have the chance of obtaining "gold" loot from a similar function like the sterling one thats already in place so I'm not worried if they do end up doing something like that. Lastly about saving engrams, since the incarnation of 3oC, the amount of Exotic Engrams has almost surpassed the amount of greens I ever saw in destiny (I never see green engrams anymore). And I already know about the "New DLC+Old Engram=Old Loot, New DLC+New Engram=New Loot" formula in place so I say the best case scenario is to...save your 3oC. They've nerfed them to hell already but let's be honest, they will be the only way to get the new exotic gear besides the 2% chance of getting them from Nightfall & Shaxx's True Meaning of War Bounty Loot, any that may be tied to a quest-line and...dare I say..."Time-Gated" quests...ughhhhhh ahhhhhhh destroy me now and lay me down next to the Queen!!!! So with all that being said tell me what you guys think, maybe mention your plan or alter mine. Give the Iron Babies something to look at when they're found by the NorthernGhost for the first time. Tl;Dr I'm a year one, I'm saving Sterling Treasures and 3oCs

    Saving exotics will not give you new gear. They are locked to their expansion. With updates you can, not expansions. Expansions reshuffle the loot table completely. They may award higher light gear, if Bungie doesn't change that with the expansion to keep people from saving 100 engrams and getting close to max within a few hours.

    • WHen Taken King came out, and supposedly the DB and HoW, saved engrams did not give loot for the new DLC. But updates, such as the April update, did. Therefore I wouldn't put money on today's engrams giving RoI loot.
