Queens Wrath was reintroduced today. Sadly our Queens rank was reset to 0. Instead of scaled up story missions there are open world bounties. She is offering 6 of them listed as days... which is confusing because day 1-4 was selectable today. two were on Earth and two on Venus. Day 5 and 6 are on the Moon. These events occur more frequently than public events, but don't stop public events from spawning... so for instance the guy that spawns at Ember Caves could be running around when all of the sudden a fallen walker public event wants to show up. This is where Bungie is going to have to fix their instances. My first run in was a complete fail on Earth's forgotten shore. The target was a fallen captain with one of those shields that wont stay down, and with just two of us, time around out before we could take him down. Its possible to do these solo or with two people as long as the mechanics are known, but it runs a lot smoother with more people... and most likely they don't know the mechanics of the fight. The event happens as follows: Roaming the target area, you will see a message at the bottom left corner "Wolves are Prowling" A Fallen drop ship will drop off some level 30 dregs, vandals and 2 scorch captains, when the captains are killed they drop their scorch cannons. Oooh! New toy!!!.... NO! Don't touch these cannons yet. There will be 2-3 more waves of baddies including cloaker captains... yup CLOAKER CAPTAINS!! These waves can be taken down with regular weapons. If you are soloing this even, pick up one of the scorch cannons on the cloaker captain wave and take them out. The last wave will consist of the target. Right now there is a Captain, Servitor, Cloaker Captain, and a Super Dreg as targets. Try to dispatch the normal enemies before engaging the target, once the target is killed you are given a key to a randomly spawned chest in the nearby area, you have a little over a minute to find it. This chest will have a different glow, with a small light pillar over it to indicate it is special. (Chest spawn guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/36349w/guide_ether_chests_locations_found/) Normally when you are in a group of people, they grab the scorch cannons right off the bat and waste all the ammo, but if there is enough people, it shouldn't be an issue taking down the target as there is bound to be a Gjallahorn in the mix. The chest can be looted more than once off one key for now. If you hop on your sparrow, leave the area, and come back you can open the chest again until bungie fixes the exploit. The chest will have engrams, ammo synthesis, and possible PoE treasure room keys. The Engrams cannot be decoded by the Cryptarch until HoW. On a bonus note, when HoW launches, legendary engrams have 0 chance of decrypting into shards or energies. You don't need a bounty to farm the special chests. The best place to farm is on Venus as Ember Caves and the Citadel are 1 area apart and you can keep traveling back and forth to try and find an active/populated instance. I'll try to be on for a bit tomorrow, but every time something like this comes up in gaming my friends want to hang So I may not be on in the afternoon. I got a legendary primary weapon engram so far. I'm hoping it will decrypt into Her Mercy. I want to at least get a few legendary armor engrams to roll some good stuff for HoW before Queens Wrath ends. Here is a list of the HoW weapons and armor: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/364ey8/patch_120_redux_all_house_of_wolves_exotics_gear/ Queenbreaker's Bow may be a fusion sniper rifle . Bones of Eao looks like it will give Hunters a needed jump assist. Outside of that the weapons list is pretty Meh at a glance. Up the Ante, Her Mercy, and Jewel of Osiris may be pretty good.
