    IIRC Those are both ones where you need to kill a random taken wizard who shows up. Notes: Once the wizard is dead, you've done the quest. Finishing is optional. Second, make sure you kill the wizard. With the Undying Mind this can be an issue since the boss will not like the dude either.

    Actually the undying mind is a separate version of the regular strike with a extra enemy at the end I believe.

    Well it is a separate version but I'm positive he shows up halfway through the boss fight and they do not like each other.

    I'd be willing to lend you a hand. I'll probably be asking for your help to do the same thing soon anyway.

    After talking to Eris, you’ll now need to enter The Undying Mind Strike and kill Morgath, Lore-Keeper who’s located at the very end. Once you kill this special Taken Knight, return to Eris, and she rewards you with a Stolen Rune.

    You might be remembering the Fear's Embrace mission that comes after Undying Mind.
    After obtaining 45 Calcified Fragments, you will return to the Fear’s Embrace mission on Phobos to kill Mar-Zik, the Blightcaller, a Taken Wizard that spawns when Echo of Oryx has almost been defeated. Once again, after killing this target, return to Eris.

    Juggler and Precision Bonus for CoE? This might actually be a good week for Sidearms, with their high ammo count. Pull it out, grab some close/mid precision kills to proc Primary ammo, switch back.

    Obviously Snipers have the range/damage advantage, but with Juggler ammo might be a concern.

    I've seen about 3 Supercells so far, latest was 334. Not as bad as Truth, I've gotten 4 or 5 of those and after the first one, they've all been 334. I just nuke the one I currently have and swap in the new one. I think I'm on my 4th Thunderlord too for some reason. Oh well, shards is shards.

    This week's challenge is garbo. Fresh Troops is fewer waves but way more adds each wave.

    It's all about the gunslinger though. Way less exploitable in general than previous weeks, unfortunately.

    Using Destiny Item Manager, I have enacted a great cull in my armor stores. So long, everything under 89%! I did notice that having something at say, 92% and level 300 doesn't mean it will go up appreciably if you infuse it to 335. In a few cases, a big infusion only resulted in 2-3% gain.

    Crimson doubles was elimination I think, but this doubles is apparently two-man skirmish or salvage.

    Yeah, I think Doubles can roll per match as skirmish, salvage or elimination (if it was like last time)

    I was under the impression that the percentile evaluation shouldn't really change at all, as it's an estimation of what the stat rate will be once infused to 335.

    Could be the prediction of quality gets better the closer to you take it to 335. I've noticed 220s don't have a prediction, you have to infuse them to 280 or so.

    I think the math can offer a range below 335 so there are possible ranges. DIM sorta ignores this while Tower Ghost will show the range.

    Tower Ghost will also show a range on items that are ~220 - but it's so wide as to be useless; my Titan's defender sash is showing as 63%-100%. Maybe it's just bad luck, but a *lot* of my exotics show as low to mid 80% range.

    Who owns PA2??

    You are a member of a Destiny Clan with an inactive Founder! Recent changes made to the way Clan live on Bungie.net require an active leader at the helm. Click this link and read this article to learn how we hope to correct this issue for you and your fellow Guardians.

    Technically it was all just managed by @GMaster7. Now that they've changed things, hopefully it's easier to just make everyone that still plays a part of Pax Arcadia.

    Well actually reading the link; if we don't choose a Clan Captain, Bungie will just pick one for us. Not a huge deal. Depends on how much control @GMaster7 wants to give up :) .

    Article below in spoiler.
    Clans are now being stored and managed in a new system. One benefit of this has been the implementation of clan leaderboards.

    For a clan to transfer, it must go through the migration process. One requirement of this process is for a clan to have a captain, whether it be the Group Founder, and Admin, or an appointed member.

    If a Group Founder or one Admin was a member of the clan, they were automatically selected as the clan captain.
    If not, a member must be manually appointed the clan captain by the Group Founder. This can be done by visiting the clan roster and clicking 'Set as captain' on a trusted clan member.

    Once this is done, a clan will be automatically migrated. Please note, there will be a slight delay after a clan captain has been selected.

    If a clan captain is not appointed by May 24th, 2016, the member who has most recently played Destiny will automatically become the clan captain.

    Oh! Hm. Yeah, I... I need to do some serious clan maintenance. I know I've been just letting things sit idle while Bungie makes their changes, because we haven't had many new join requests and because I've been taking a break-

    Bungie has split Pax Arcadia along console lines (Xbox people - does your clan tag say "Pax Arcadia81"? Because that's what's showing up here). PA2 shows up as a PS-side clan.

    People have mentioned merging all active players into one clan and doing a more aggressive culling of the roster, but I know so many people will be back for Destiny II, so I don't know if that's an ideal solution.

    I'll do some groundskeeping and we can discuss. My time in the Sun may have passed; it's been an honor, but I don't want to just bogart the admin/"Captain" role. I've justified it by the fact that everything's just kinda status quo, floating along. But that's probably unfair. Maybe we could have elections or something! I WILL RIG THEM
    WAR IS PEACE; FREEDOM IS SLAVERY; IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

    Edit: Also, this is hilarious: "If a clan captain is not appointed by May 24th, 2016, the member who has most recently played Destiny will automatically become the clan captain." Imagine the mad dash that's about to happen with some of these less active clans.

    On bungie.net...

    My clan tag shows "Pax Arcadia [PA]"
    374 Members
    197 Clanmates

    I never really use the Bungie website since we have our forums here and groups on the100.io

    Ok, yeah, after some digging I see the Xbox side of the clan (under the "clan" tab) showing as "PAX ARCADIA81" - weird.

    New bug/glitch discovered - the interaction between Cocoon and Clown Cartridge has some unintended results.

    Source
    Equip a weapon with Clown Cartridge and a weapon with Cocoon. Fire the weapon with cocoon then switch to the weapon with CC. When cocoon procs the weapon with cc thinks it's reloading so has a chance to add a free round to the clip. Rinse and repeat

    Proof from the source:
    AC9twxs.jpg

    Edit: This is intended to raise awareness - if you see people in Crucible with heavy before it spawns, this is the likely culprit. Rule 1 still applies.

    To be fair, Clown Cartridge is random so I can see it be tough to trigger reliably, but yeah they should just toggle that off until they find a good fix.

    In looking at it more closely, it's just a set of filters over top of their forum posts. It does have some kind of "join this game" option, though, but man there are a lot of people offering to carry, some for money and some not.
