Exotic Weapon Bounties vs. Xur
Ok so I finally went ahead and chased an exotic bounty rather than get it from Xur because I wanted to see just how hard it could be... Oops. Let's just say it took me a while to rack up void damage in Crucible with a titan and nothing but Trolley, Valedictorian and some grenades....annnd I still need to run Phogoth to kill Xylor (sp?) to get Thorn. Which is still better than the exotic bounty I have that wants 25 strikes and I can only imagine how many more steps are left. I hate to be the one to take shortcuts, but Xur is definitely the easiest way to go.

Not sure if you're aware, but the Exos you get from the Bounties will never be sold by Xur. Thorn's a top-tier weapon and totally worth the effort; I'm at the same point in the chain as you. The other one you have you can do any difficulty for the Strikes so speed running is entirely possible, maybe Nexus or Phogoth. The Heroic and Nightfall both count for more completions; something like 2 for the Heroic and 3 for a Nightfall. After that, you'll need to buy something from Xur, then get 10000 "kill points" in Crucible. You get 75 for each kill, 150 for Warlock kills; unlike the Thorn Bounty, when you get killed you don't loose any points. Some of the Bounties are pretty easy. The one for Super Good Advice took a whopping 3 hours; longest delay there is you need to buy something from Xur to progress and I happened to get the Bounty on a Friday.
