EDIT 6: BUMP FOR BUNGIE!!!!! WHOA WHAT A BUMPY ROAD!!
Edit 7: Story update.***~~~THANK YOU TITANITE THORIAN~~~*** The Black engram drops a clue to a certain exotic item.. Complete a set of specific objectives.
Example: THIS IS A CONCEPT.
> You killed a Praetorian on Venus and he dropped the black engram. Return the tower and once you are there take the engram to the cryptarch and he will give you a clue. This time, you got some sort of map with strange symbols, Cayde-6 can make sense out of this strange map. Once the map is given to Cayde-6, he will provide you with the location the map was pin-pointing to. Because the engram dropped on Venus, the location Cayde-6 found on the map will be on Venus, due to clues from the black engrams being location specific. Also, Cayde-6 deciphered what the symbols are, turns out this map is a guide to a location of a piece of the Super Good Advice exotic Machine Gun.
The location on Venus that cayde found on the map is the Vault of Glass. You must venture into the Vault, once done, Cayde-6 will contact you, notifying you that he deciphered the remaining set of symbols and provide you with instructions that will you to a piece of Super Good Advice hidden within the vault. The objectives this time around is to get a Memory Frame from a Gorgon in order to reveal the location of the exotic weapon piece. After getting the Memory Frame from the Gorgon, a waypoint will appear. It will lead you to the either of the following places:
A) The 4th and 5th chests found in the maze.
B) Random place between Gorgon's Maze and Atheon's Throne room where a chest containing the exotic piece and spirit bloom is located.
Once you find the chest, open it and a piece of Super Good Advice will be yours. Collect 3 more to finish the gun. Sometimes you will get more than one piece, even all of the pieces, and in a very rare chance, the exotic weapon or armor. So you will be needing a couple of Black Engrams in order to collect all exotic pieces, but if extremely lucky, only one engram.
NOTE: Weapon pieces must be taken to the Gunsmith so he can re-assemble the weapon. Armor pieces must be taken to Eva Levante so she can also re-assemble the armor, but since the armors need the light of the traveler in order function, armors need to be taken to the Speaker after being re-assembled by Eva Levante in order for him to "charge and cleanse" the exotic armor.
Edit 8: The final weapon you get is a cursed exotic. You must purify it to unlock its full potential. The weapon is useable but it isn't its most powerful form till fully cleansed.
Edit 9: Wish I could get some bungie feedback.

Whoa what a BUMPy road.

Cool man good job.

2 ideas to improve. First, not super good advice or any other currently available exotic. I think it would be nice if these dropped in the new raid, you would then perform the quest and it would then give you an option of either raid quality gear or a new exotic weapon. This would be a better and much more fun way to acquire raid gear, or even separate but equal raid gear from what drops in the the raid. Second and by far the most important. When you get the black engram, you take it to the cryptarch but he is unable to decrypt it. He then tells you of a person that has skills beyond even his but he has been in a meditative trance for the last few months but suggests the black engram might be enough to get him to speak and help you. He then points you to the broom sweeping robot.

That'd be so cool if it was like Star Wars or Infamous.. 2 sides, light/good and dark/evil. Each side gives a special upgrade/perk/power. Light/Dark Engrams drop to increase the upgrade/perk/power. great idea tho
-
Bump!
-
dont listen to the haters. to have such inspiration and the courage to show a public community is great. i thank you for contributing to the culture of this game, it looks fantastic and I hope that you continue to share your ideas. i really enjoyed it! awesome job!

Black Engrams could yield something to add perks to weapons, like a Primary Sight Kit, or a Secondary Munitions Kit. Just straight up Add; no reroll. Since you'd only really be gaining more versatility in a weapon, it'd be handy without being overpowered. It'd just add more options in a single weapon.
-
I dont know if I like it man... I mean.. It looks way to much alike the white engram. I'd get confused.
-
It sounds fun but also very very tedious almost to the point it wouldn't be worth the reward
-
Also, crafting. Suggested this awhile back. You're idea sounds rather fun and immersive. I just said to use the parts you collect during patrol and have those apply to certain abilities then use around 3-7 motes to form a light stone or shard or fragment, thesaurus it up, and that allows you to start turning commons into rare. You eventually build your own set, name it and put out a request for approval by speaker, i.e. Dev team. (so nothing's so OP like a super stable ranged shotty or an infinity pistol that let's you cloak every 5 seconds, etc. though I do like this Infinity Pistol idea....sounds pretty sweet except without the 5 second shit. Maybe guns can develop activated abilities? Cooldowns, melee thrust with Red Death, one free self revive per mission...) Which I'll segue into this idea; Potions, or vials or flasks or again thesaurus, should be added. Why? What mission in Halo or any CODs did you not have access to a medikit? This us borderline RPG right? So let us buy 5 health potions instead of heavy ammo from Xur (or add it in). Three types of potions. 1. Health: Standard vial of self revitalizing cells that spread throughout your body rapidly mending any damage. Ghosts share a collective sigh of relief. Cool down 1 and a half minutes. 5 limit held per char. 3-5 motes per bottle. 2. Mana; A bright white liquid with specks of gold (not cinnamon flavored) that break through the luminescent liquid to add to it's shine. Super Bar Energy refill. 3 use per mission. It's effects can be deadly if taken often. It can sap your light away if overdone. Reason for limit. 3 coins per vial. 3. Revive; Sure we got a class that can do it once their super is up. But don't you wanna bring back somebody sometimes. Or yourself when super juice isn't available and you're rockin a Titan or Hunter and suddenly that Supplicant blows up cuz your buddy ran past and the explosion killed you. Say now your buddy is running and everyone else is busy you can do a "Selfie" on yourself and you're back in the fight. 5 coins. 1 per char. Usable anyways, buy em up and store them. Idgaf but when your on a mission there is only one available. 3 "Supe's" and 5 "Soyolo's" In conclusion, crafting, ship vaults, added and edited vaults and material set-up, potions, special exotics that you build from ground up with your choice of abilities. Just need to even pros and cons of gun stats. Watch the re roll feature Bungie. See what people like and get. Thank you to anyone who trudged through this long ass reply. -ZH

Nice work. Keep it up. We need more positive posts like this to kill off all the same worthless tear collecting posts. +100 for you

You should work for Bungie [spoiler]cleaning the toilets out after a few black engrams have been dropped off[/spoiler]
-
I want a Mexican engram
-
Absolutely NO. Please stay in school.
-
Love the idea it would definitely add to the slim story that we have so far i love this concept and would love to see it in game thanks for your work Elemental
-
Way to much RNG involved. Still don't like it.
-
Sounds a lot like a clue scroll from runescape back in the day
-
a black engram? sounds racist, reported. You should be ashamed.
-
Looks like a chaos emerald lol
-
It should be that the engram drops dlc stuff only

Bumper jumper
