•Existing Legendary gear on display in the Tower will be replaced
•New Legendary gear will feature higher Attack and Defense values
Thoughts? I'm curious whether these will simply be "upgraded" versions of current items with higher attack/defense but same perks, etc, or entirely new things. Speculation welcome.
(more specifically, I'm wondering if I should rush to get New Monarchy rank 3 and finally buy that Vanquisher for PVP and not open my package until the 9th, or try NOT to level hoping that will make sure I get a commendation and then I can get an all-around better, vanquisher V2. Advice welcome)

Edited by KAG3_S31SH1N: 12/7/2014 10:37:19 PMFrom what i hear all vendors and items within those vendors will update to slightly more powerful versions. I'm not sure if they replace the existing items or simply 'add' the new ones in. As for engrams, i doubt they'll be affected as Bungie would've warned us to use them before the update (as they did with the Cryp update). It would also seem that your current legendary gear (((Won't))) update like the exotics do and you'll have to either buy the newer versions or wait for Bungie to address this issue and offer a 'Legendary Upgrade System' which i could see using MOL (Motes of Light) to upgrade as they have been rendered semi-useless (unless you love buying all the aesthetic crap the Speaker has for sale) after Xur removed the Exotic Engram from his inventory.
