Three of Coins, New Exotics, New Xur experience. Destiny The Taken King
Is it worth to by Three of Coins?
What is the probability of the Exotic drop?
Here is my experience and suggestion:
use 3 coins at a time (stack) before the mission; simple mission is Eye of the Gate Lord, another good place - Court of Oryx.
Yes, with more coins stacked probability of the exotic engram drop is higher, however I feel this is regressive - more coins you add - less the added probability per coin. Optimum is 3 in my feeling.
My result for last week:
Used 77 Strange Coins to buy 11 packs of Three of Coins = 55 of Three of Coins.
The Sky Burners are the "celestial demolitions" fleet of the Cabal. The Sky Burners were ordered by the Emperor himself to board the Dreadnaught and kill Oryx, by any means necessary. They crashed their warship into the Dreadnaught's hull, and are fighting a protracted war of attrition deep behind enemy lines. They can be identified by their light blue armor and brush on their helmets.
To start the quest you need to obtain Skyburners Command Beacon which may drop from Cabal Centurion and Colossus on The Dreadnaught.
Use the beacon to activate the console which is located in Dreadnaught in the Cabal ship left from the entrance. A dropship will come with a Cabal Champion. Defeat the champion and he will drop Skyburners Deployment Codes.
Use Skyburners Deployment Codes to activate the console located in Mausoleum. You will receive a chain of missions. Complete missions within the time limit. Once last mission is complete you will get the Skyburners Security Pass.
Use Security Pass in the same room in Mausoleum to activate the door that requires this pass. Skyburners chest is behind this door.
Key of Akka: What is in this chest? Destiny Taken Kings chests on Dreadnaught
Key of Akka chest location on Dreadnaught - stay in the end of the corridor facing the Court of Oryx. Jump down to the platform of the left - chest is in this cave.
Destiny: Paradox story quest solo walkthrough. The Taken King expansion
This story - Paradox on Venus - seems to be not a high level quest - just level 38, however I have tried it once before and after 2-3 attempts I have realized that in the first part there are too many enemies to handle solo when you have no good weapons. Now I have a weapon of mass-distraction: new exotic Zhalo Supercell which arcs lightning between close enemies. This is what I need - in Paradox quest Taken tend to group in 2-4 or more enemies together - shooting one enemy will cause damage to the whole group!
Please notice that Taken often paired together by some kind of energy link. The front one - the glowing one - is immune, so you need to shoot the leader which is usually hide behind. Also once go to the second stage with Hydra, the similar thing happens to Hydra - shoot the light connected to it, otherwise Hydra will stay immune.
Have a nice game!

Court of Oryx. Public Events on Dreadnaught. Calcified Fragment. Depose the Court Quest.
Calcified Fragment can be obtained as a reward from the bounty: Challenge the Court: Stolen rune. Watch at 19:00
Calcified Fragment drop from the tier 2 event at 17:56
Played this series of games with Aerides_67. We have started with 2 players only and later, luckily, 2-3 more players have joined. In my opinion, to complete 3-rd rune, we need 5 or more players. It requires Light 300. Really hard and with time limit - attempted it several times - all failed.
Start from the simplest one by presenting the Reciprocal Rune at the first left summoning place. It created Public Event and everyone can join. When event complete, can present Stolen Rune at the second summoning place. This time enemies will be more difficult to conquer. Stolen Rune may drop as a reward from your first level event. Watch at 0:53
Winning Public Events at Dreadnaught will reward you with the Crota's Bane reputation: 25 for tier 1, 50 for tier 2.
If you are the summoner - you will get rewards from the chest. Usually it is gear, but sometimes it can be Rune, Key or Calcified Fragment.
Every event has it's own rules to play - you need to read carefully small white color messages in the left bottom of screen, because most of the time bosses will be immune. For example, 3 Knights should be together - close to each other - so their shield will weaken.
Or, another example, with 4 Wizards - kill them quick or they will regenerate. A good idea here will be to leave all of them with the small amount of HP and finish them all together.
When it says "Minions shield their commander" - kill all minions first to disable shield of the boss.
Entropy's Pinnacle story quest level 40. Venus. Zhalo Supercell gameplay. Destiny The Taken King
More story of The Taken King Destiny.
Mostly when I play story - it is pure first try - I do not watch any walkthrough videos before playing. So please do not expect the most efficient gameplay - I may fail sometimes as I am not prepared for what will happen ahead :)
Anyway, I am playing and learning, and sharing my first experience with you.
This story, Entropy's Pinnacle, is very similar to the one from the previous Fallen expansion - the same place, just different types of enemies.
I use primary weapon most of the time to show the performance of the Zhalo Supercell exotic auto rifle - year 2 new exotic.
Have a nice game!

Blighted Coven story quest. Destiny The Taken King. Zhalo Supercell exotic auto rifle gameplay
I have tried this story solo few days ago ( Story level 40 ) and realized that I don't have good weapons to do it solo in a reasonable time.
Now I got Zhalo Supercell exotic auto rifle, and now I know I am ready to complete this story. This is not the strongest auto rifle, and I am not a huge fan of auto rifles, however it's perk to chain bolts of arc damage between enemies is so awesome! I love this rifle mostly because of this. And Taken tend to group together in clusters of 3-5 enemies which makes them a perfect shooting target for Zhalo Supercell.
