Published on: Sep 18, 2014 @ 14:54 The Cryptarch: Identifying Engrams, bringing him special items from each enemy race in the game, and purchasing Engrams from him all serve to increase your reputation with the Cryptarch. Earning sufficient reputation eventually allows you to purchase Rare Engrams from him, and further levels earn you rewards just as they do for any other Faction in the game. Engrams share the same rarities as other items in the game, and they appear as glowing crystals in the world. Any enemy can potentially drop an Engram, though Majors and Ultras have a better chance of doing so. Very rare Engrams may

Understanding Destiny
Published on: Sep 17, 2014 @ 15:41 This article by Gamesradar is absolutely wonderful, and is worth reading if you feel that the game is lacking in some way. There’s been a few reviews that have been quick to “score” Destiny, not bothering to even play the raid content first, or the additional modes coming very soon. While it’s understandable that reviewers are just critiquing what they have available to them at that moment, as this article points out, it’s very premature to do so. [divider] There are two games called Destiny around at the moment. Both of them are by Bungie. Both of
Destiny Mysteries: Darkness, Dragons
Published on: Sep 16, 2014 @ 21:08 This article may contain spoilers!

Destiny Loot Farming Guides
Published on: Sep 16, 2014 @ 10:29 Earlier in the week we shared this guide for loot farming. While it still is good, the amount of enemies doesn’t compare to this mission on the Moon! This video by High0nPCP explains what is definitely one of the best loot farming locations, especially if you’re level 20. You’ll get Engrams relatively quickly, due to how easy it is to mow down these Hive Thralls. For massive amounts of Glimmer, be sure to use a Black Wax Idol (in your inventory) while you farm. Auto rifle is a great choice. Do not kill the
