Are you planning to play through Destiny: The Taken King”s King’s Fall raid immediately, as soon as it goes live?” Starting this year, Xur will have either a guaranteed armour or weapon Exotic engram for sale, a change that is now more in line with Bungie’s vision for Destiny and the new quest-heavy path that it is taking.

“For many a Guardian, the pinnacle activity of The Taken King’s player experience still beckons”, the studio says about the upcoming raid. However, it is still unknown whether the Three of Coins will be a staple item in the Agent of the Nine’s inventory or if it will be released occasionally. There’s still a chance to get your hands on a year one Exotic, with the new direction being primarily one that will benefit veterans in Destiny. Xur now sells Legacy Engrams, which will decode into the year one versions (170 attack) of year one exotics. If one fails then the next one will grant an even higher chance, due to their cumulative effect.
Take a look at the thread everyone, but make sure to remember this important point: you only need ONE coin per boss run to get an exotic drop.

If there’s a negative to be found in all of this, it’s that the amount of quests you can accumulate on your to-do list can become a little intimidating. Not only does The Taken King do a nice job of regularly rewarding your accomplishments with powerful weapons and gear, but the gear you receive has some new, intriguing perks for players to experiment with. Do this over and over while using the Three of Coins and you can earn a seemingly unlimited number of Exotics.
