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.

The game is...what the game is....once you have hit level 30...or 29, 27....whatever is your thing....game OVER.....why try to extend the game to be a permament fixture in your life?...it's GAME....plenty of others out there...many better too...do not follow why everyone wants it to last forever....

Good work man, looks awesome
-
I got SGA from a lot easier means....
-
Are you sure this is black bro?
-
I like, nice job :). Bungie should buy it and use It for post-exotic drop :)
-
Lol it's not exactly black
-
Why is the BLACk engram DREADED??? People like you are a plague to society
-
Shouldn't it be...black?
-
Racist ass...
-
Not black.
-
that engram looks SOOO nice would prefer to see them than any other (except exotic XD)
-
Nice artwork but... What's the point in it?
-
it's not black though
-
This is the kind of thing I believe will revolutionize PVE and even maybe leak into a bit of the characteristics of what the Darkness can do or become. With the right drop rate, and the right way of presenting challenges to complete what seems to be an exotic bounty (noted in edit 7) you as a player can feel like you're actually holding an exotic weapon and feel like you've earned it . You can feel the pride and luck of the draw in the world of Destiny by wielding what very few have been able to come across. I therefor BUMP this idea for my dear friend Garet.

Back story of the Engram Crota has been trying to forge the power of the engrams to allow his knights to wield the ultimate weapons. Unfortunately all attempts have been a fail for the engram only comes out uncommon and rare. After three days of ritual and preparations. He Succeeds, behold that black engram but right as he finishes, BLAM we bust through the door and the raid begins. The black engram is a drop from Crota during the Raid but is extremely rare. The Black Engrams allows you to choose an exotic you'd like.

you could combine it with an existing exotic engram!!! to make a dark version of that item. like a dark sniper would get poison damage or w.e. but the item has to be fully upgraded so its super hard to do and not every noob can haz

Reminds me of the hive
-
Thank you to everyone except for the one guy calling me racist! :) love you all....except for that one guy.

Edited by PsYcHoNaUt 009: 11/19/2014 11:55:03 PMIm not really familiar with the newer programs. Is that object textured or are we looking at the wireframe? It looks like there is some texture shader on it. Like a bump map or procedural. If not, it looks like a lot of polys. While this does increase definition it also increases resources and render times. You can always reduce the mesh if needed and then slap a new procedural on it. You should try using a dark blue or purple glow on the object. It would be a little closer to black. I doubt the other posters realize that you cant do black volumetric lighting unless your using a subtractive method and even then it just would create a black blob. Other than that it looks great. Keep up the good work man. Go make us some good video games.

Pretty cool
-
Oh yeh, that's epic. It should be really rare and drop a corrupted black version of a random exotic weapon with a few different changes!

Edited by CrummySaint: 11/19/2014 11:58:40 PMI like the concept, but if it is to be as rare as you say I feel like it has to have another gimmick entirely, maybe something that removes it from the RNG completely by having it modify existing equipment and engrams or having it decrypt into any equipment in the game. Maybe having it modify existing would be the more interesting choice by [u]assigning black engrams exotic or unique situational attributes similar to those found in the vault drops[/u] that can be added to anything non-exotic creating a whole new class of item - [b]Black colored Uniques[/b].
