The weapons look bad this time around. 3 shots on the sniper? No thanks.

What I'm most curious about is whether reforging an old Iron Banner weapon will upgrade it to 331 AP. That could add significant value to Iron Banner weapons…

-Armour will only get you to Level 31.

I'm not sure why this is a surprise…

Last time, grinding Iron Banner to Rank 5 would get you max-level gear that was better than what you could buy from the faction vendors. (Better in that it had a higher max light level - it was on par with raid gear.)

Based on the info at hand, it could be argued that you're better off just grinding faction rep since commendation progress won't expire on Dec. 22nd.

That said, I can understand the reluctance to offer a second path to 36-light gear so quickly after Crota's End became available.

You can literally walk to the first chest on any character and get raid legendary gear. If you're good, or bring a friend, you can get the second chest alone as well.

Are there any videos of this that you know of?

I helped Ragashingo grab the 1st chest on his Alt last night after everyone left last night. The first chest is simple to grab with Alts if you don't have time to finish the raid.

Steps:
1. Check Chest Spawn #1

If no Chest:
2. Check Chest Spawn #2

If no Chest:
3. Wipe and restart at Step 1

I know that first chest is easylicious to grab, but is it confirmed that it can drop armor? I've opened that chest six times now and received Radiant Energy (x2) five of those six times, finally getting Radiant Shards (x2) on my last character this morning.

It is confirmed to drop both raid set pieces and exotics. So you can get things like Deathsinger's Treads from an easily-accessible chest, but not actually from the Deathsinger.

I've managed to grab the second chest with just one other person but whoever runs for it has to stack agility to make it in time as far as I can tell.

there's an idea floating around that the 2nd chest door is tied to the exploding thralls, not the shriekers.

new test tonight: kill the first shrieker from the safe room, go invis past the second one, then turn around and kill it asap, then get through the door.

I watched Datto's group run it this afternoon and it appeared that their current theory is that the timer on that door is tied to the death of the yellow-titled cursed thrall - the "dredge ______" something or other.

I pulled a warlock bond + radiant mats & hunter cloak + radiant mats on my secondary characters last week. So I know you can get more than just Mats from it.

"The Iron Lords now have five ranks to obtain through victory. Your previous Iron Banner rank has been preserved, but your Standing will be reset at the conclusion of this event. Strike while the iron is hot."

Stuntmutt would be impressed.

IB looks to NOT be Iron Banner only. A bunch of threads blew up right after 1 with people freaking out.

I expect, closer to the house of wolves, that another late Iron Banner with 32 gear will appear. For now, it's a chance to buy 331 ATK weapons with glimmer that you can re-roll, and I can get another shot at that Gold shader finally (200 rep short of lvl 5 last time). Bounties stack with crucible too and give a lot of exp (level up, sucka!).

Jokes on you, you don't have any glimmer!

I think Bluerunner tried this last time around. His cake was lies and regret. He ate it too.

Bluerunner doesn't eat cake.

He eats moon pies.

Lots of em.

With a glass of bones' tears to wash it down.

All of these statements are true.

I went in last time with the Khostov marshmallow gun. I was not successful.

As a witness, I can confirm the futility (and hilarity) of his righteous struggle.

Might give it another try. Somebody has to wear the badge of shame for being killed by the Khostov in Iron Banner.

...But I need to stop assuming stuff with this game.

Are non-Dark-Below owners allowed to play this? Or are we locked out so that it can use the new maps?

I tried it on my Perun's fire. Still 300 attack, so I sharded it. Since the gear is only level 31, and I already reached that I will not be participating this time around. I'm still bummed that all the gear I worked so hard for last time is now demoted to blue status. I basically keep it around just for the crucible.

At this point the only reason to participate is if you want weapons drops.

Well, to be fair, that's half the game for me. I have crucible gear and PvE gear. Really, my warlock main is my PvE loadout, and my alt is my crucible loadout.
