Shadow Market Trader Xur in Destiny can sell six armor pieces for each class and a total of twelve weapons. But which parts have not been included yet? And which class does he hate the most? Hunters, Warlocks or Titans?
Every Friday, players pilgrimage to Xur. What he can sell is known due to the Xur glitches for quite some time. But what items are still missing now? Which items do players long for the most? Which exotic armor piece has he had the most often? Which one not at all? And which class has the most reason to hate Xur?
What armor is still missing for the Titan?
Titans have almost everything. Only a helmet is still missing. The “An Insurmountable Skullfort.” The other five armor pieces for Titans were not distributed very evenly. Five times in 14 weeks he had the healing armor available. The “Helm of Saint-14” only once so far and that was in the fourth week when not many knew what this guy actually does.
However, helmets are particularly sought after, to reach level 30. Because they are not available at the new Iron Banner and also in the raid they only drop from the final boss on hard. Therefore, Titans certainly have reason to complain.
Conclusion: 3 out of 5 angry fists and a little slap in the direction of Xur.
What armor is still missing for the Hunters?
None. Hunters he loves to cuddle with. Already in the first four weeks all three helmets and also a chest armor were available. And in the previous week, he had the last missing Hunter Exotic with the gloves on offer. Only the “Knucklehead Radar” is what some Hunters might wish for again, as it was only available once and then in the third week.
Conclusion: 0 out of 5 drawn knives. Xur loves you, dear Hunters.
What is still missing for the Warlocks in Xur’s repertoire?
The Warlocks are still missing a helmet and a chest armor. Xur has never had the “Skull of Dire Ahamkara” for the helmet, and the “Heart of Praxic Fire” has been missing for a long time for the chest armor. Overall, Warlocks really have every reason to hate Xur.
In the first four weeks, he gave them the “Sunbreakers” three times. By now they have received the “Void Fang Vestments” a sixth time, a chest armor. Six out of fourteen possible times. That’s really bitter. The two helmets that actually appeared in between were only available once each. And in the last six weeks, there were five times the “Void Fang Vestments” and once the Sunbreakers. Mean!
Conclusion: 5 out of 5 Warlocks pray that the sun never shines for Xur again.
What exotic weapons have never been available with Xur, even though he can have them?
Only three weapons are still missing from Xur. Remarkably few, considering that he can sell twelve and has only been there fourteen times. The odds look quite different.
The most sought after weapon is “Thunderlord”, an exotic machine gun with arc damage that many would like to have. “Hard Light” is an auto rifle but is probably overshadowed by the Suros Regime, which Xur has sold twice.
The “Universal Remote” is also still missing, an exotic shotgun and likely also relatively sought after.
Besides the “Thunderlord”, many players certainly wish for the “Gjallarhorn” to return. Xur has only had it available once, right in the second week. If only one had struck back then, many a guardian in Destiny says today.
Conclusion: Xur will appear once more before “Darkness Looms” when new exotic weapons and armor will be introduced. Whether Xur will be as important in this new world of Destiny as he is now and has been in the past three and a half months remains to be seen. Depending on which class you belong to, you might be more or less happy to see him again. But his allure remains: For a handful of strange coins, he may have helped some to reach the all-important level 30 – others had their pockets full, and there was simply nothing on offer.
