Destiny 2
Rejoice , Destiny fan — Xur is back forDestiny 2 .
Xur , in instance you ’re new to the Destiny existence , is an " factor of the Nine , " who comes and run as he want . The Nine are one of Destiny ’s biggest mysteries . All that ’s known about them is that they ’re some kind of ancient exotic beings . They ’re terribly aloof and never make personal contact with Guardians in the game . What they are and what they want has never been explain .
Xur always bear alien item — the strong , most especial , most sought - after weapons and armour in the biz , like the Sunshot hand cannon you could see below — and he ’s willing to sell them ( if you have the right currency , that is ) . He ’s doing things a little differently in the new game . For starter , he does n’t appear at social space like the Farm any longer . Instead , he ’ll pop up at one of the game ’s field cornerstone near the quick travel points on each planet . In a really overnice tactual sensation , he hang around for five days now — Friday to Tuesday — or else of the first plot ’s two weekend day . And you do n’t have to run for him ! His emplacement is revealed with a special picture right on the Director function .
Xur ’s great alteration , however , is the up-to-dateness he take on . InDestiny , he was only concerned in Strange Coins , a mysterious form of money which players never learned anything about . That ’s over . InDestiny 2 , what Xur wants is Legendary Shards .
Legendary Shards are a kind of empurpled watch glass , and not much more is known about them at this gunpoint . Despite all of the detailed lore peppered throughoutDestiny 2for weapons , armor , characters , localization , and more , all the game reveals about Legendary Shards is that they ’re " remnants of powerful items . " There ’s nothing to explain what they are , on the button , or why Xur values them .
In Xur ’s stocktaking , an Exotic weapon system will cost you29 Legendary Shards . A piece of alien armour is priced at23 Legendary Shards . So how do you get them ?
There are several ways . The easiest is to simply playDestiny 2and watch out for purple paraphernalia loot . Purple is the color for Legendary weapons and armor . When you dismantle any Legendary item,2 Legendary Shardsare add to your armoury . The more you break up , the more fragment you get .
Another way is to dismantle Exotic gear . This is n’t likely to be a very popular way of getting Legendary Shards , since Exotics are so highly coveted and difficult to gain . But should you find yourself in self-will of an Exotic that you’resureyou have no use for , you’re able to dismantle it and get a whopping10 Legendary Shards .
Lastly , it ’s also potential to get Legendary Shards in a flash , as loot drop . The catch is that they ’re only drop in certain situations . Legendary Shards can technically come up from a planetary chest or a Lost Sector pectus , but do n’t carry that to happen very often . Legendary Shard drops have a much majuscule opportunity of coming from :
This is n’t all that dissimilar from the first plot , in that the best gear drops always came from cooperative play activities at the mellow trouble story .
One last thing to keep in brain is that there ’s another significant use for Legendary Shards : Infusion . If you want to increase a piece of appurtenance ’s power level , you ’ll require between one and four Shards to do it . The issue depends on how big the parachuting in power is between the particular you ’re keep and the token you ’re infusing into it .
