Xûr’s Location Today
The days of hunting for Xur across the solar system are over. The Agent of the Nine has established a permanent weekend residence in the Tower Bazaar. You can find him tucked away in the back alley to the right of the ramen shop, near Ikora Rey.
Xur arrives with the daily reset on Friday and departs at the weekly reset on Tuesday.
Xur’s New System: Strange Coins & Reputation
Legendary Shards are no longer Xur’s preferred currency. He now exclusively deals in Strange Coins, which are awarded for completing activities in ritual playlists (Vanguard, Crucible, Gambit) and Onslaught.
Furthermore, Xur now has his own reputation track. Spending Strange Coins at his shop is the only way to increase your rank with him. Ranking up provides a variety of rewards, including Enhancement Cores, Prisms, Ascendant Shards, and Exotic Engrams. A key part of this new system is the Favor of the Nine, a weekly buff that increases your Strange Coin earnings. It is highly recommended to acquire this favor each week to maximize your income.
How to Farm Strange Coins Efficiently
Earning Strange Coins is the key to unlocking Xur’s Strange Gear each week, including his Exotic weapons, armor, and rotating catalysts. Here’s a practical guide on where to get them, how to maximize your earnings with the Strange Favor buff, and the most effective farming methods currently available.
The Basics: Where to Get Strange Coins
Strange Coins are now awarded for completing core ritual activities. This includes:
- Vanguard Ops (including Nightfalls)
- Crucible (all playlists)
- Gambit
- Trials of Osiris & Iron Banner (when active)
- Onslaught
Important Note: Dares of Eternity and Paraversal Hauls no longer award Strange Coins.
The Golden Rule: Buy the Strange Favor Buff First
Before you start any serious farming, your first priority is to purchase the Strange Favor buff from Xur.
- How to get it: After spending 47 Strange Coins at Xur’s shop, the buff becomes available for purchase in his “More Strange Offers” tab.
- What it does: It grants you a chance to earn bonus Strange Coins whenever you earn them from an activity. The buff lasts for 11 days and stacks up to three times if you purchase it on consecutive weeks.
- Pro-Tip (Per-Character Buff): The Strange Favor buff is per-character, not account-wide. To maximize your gains, make sure to purchase it on every character you plan to play during the week.
The Best Farming Methods
While all ritual activities grant Strange Coins, some are far more efficient than others. Your best bet is to prioritize the weekly bonus playlist first, but if that’s not an option, here are the most reliable farms:
- Crucible (Fastest Completions per Hour)
The undisputed champion of fast farming is Crucible, especially during weeks with rotating playlists like Mayhem or Scorched. These game modes have significantly shorter match times, allowing you to complete more activities per hour and thus earn more Strange Coins. Expect around 2-4 coins per match baseline, with more coming from wins and your Strange Favor stacks. - Onslaught (Most Predictable PvE Farm)
If you prefer a more relaxed PvE farm, Onslaught is an excellent choice. It provides a consistent and reliable payout of approximately 4 Strange Coins for every 10-wave segment you complete. With Strange Favor stacks, this number increases, making it a very predictable way to earn coins solo or with a fireteam. - Vanguard Ops & Nightfalls (Scalable and Steady)
For a steady, predictable PvE experience, running Vanguard Ops or Nightfalls is a solid option. To be efficient, focus on running the shortest available strikes back-to-back with a fireteam. Higher-difficulty Nightfalls tend to offer better rewards, making this a scalable farm if you have a coordinated team.
A Simple Weekly Checklist for Maximum Efficiency
- Visit Xur First: As soon as you log in, spend 47 Strange Coins to purchase the Strange Favor buff on each character you play.
- Check the Weekly Bonus: Identify which playlist (Crucible, Vanguard, or Gambit) has a rewards bonus and start your farm there.
- Pivot to an Efficient Farm: Once you’ve farmed the bonus playlist, switch to either quick Crucible modes (like Mayhem) or 10-wave Onslaught runs for the best coins-per-minute return.
- Claim Free Coins: Don’t forget to claim any Strange Coins available from the Season Pass or other reward tracks for an extra boost.
How to Reroll Xûr Exotic Armor Stats with Ghost Mods
Before purchasing Exotic armor from Xur, remember that you can potentially influence its stat distributions. By equipping an “Armorer” mod on your Ghost (such as Discipline Armorer or Strength Armorer), you may be able to change the stat allocation on one of Xur’s offered pieces. This technique doesn’t work on every piece, but it is often possible to reroll the stats on at least one of the featured Exotic items by changing the mod and re-inspecting his inventory.
Top 3 Pickups for New Lights (November 14 – 17, 2025)
All of these are directly purchasable from Xûr this week – no DLC ownership required beyond access to his zone.
- Eternity’s Edge (Legendary Warlock Sword) – a god roll that enables near-infinite guarding in the right build, thanks to Infinite Guard plus Flash Counter/Relentless Strikes.
- Interference VI (Legendary Grenade Launcher) – An extremely good roll for an Arc grenade launcher, making it a top priority for anyone who doesn’t have a better alternative.
- Quickfang (Legendary Hunter Sword) – A “god roll” for maximizing movement speed, making this a fun and powerful weapon for any Hunter.
This Week’s Quick Reference
| Item | Category | Priority |
| Eternity’s Edge | Originally the Warlock class sword | ★★★★★ – Must-buy God Roll for infinite guard builds |
| Interference VI | Legendary Grenade Launcher | ★★★★☆ – Excellent roll, a top-tier Arc option |
| Quickfang | Hunter Sword | ★★★★☆ – God roll for a maximum speed build |
| Eyes Unveiled (Adept) | Legendary Linear Fusion | ★★★☆☆ – Decent roll on a hard-to-get Adept weapon |
| Vigilance Wing Catalyst | Exotic Catalyst | ★★☆☆☆ – A decent but not essential upgrade |
| Merciless Catalyst | Exotic Catalyst | ★★☆☆☆ – Another decent, but not meta-defining, pickup |
Exotic Armor (November 14 – 17, 2025)
Hunter
- Ophidia Spathe (Chest Armor) – Grants a second throwing knife charge. A must-have for builds centered on your melee ability.
- Cyrtarachne’s Facade (Helmet Armor) – Provides Woven Mail and flinch resistance after grappling, enhancing survivability for Strand Hunters.
Titan
- Eternal Warrior (Helmet Armor) – (Total Stat: 61) Grants an overshield when you cast Fists of Havoc. A solid choice for Arc Titans who want extra survivability from their Super.
- Pyrogale Gauntlets (Gauntlets) – (Total Stat: 60) Alters Burning Maul to hurl a cyclone of fire. Also enhances Consecration by creating cyclones from the slam attack.
Warlock
- Transversive Steps (Leg Armor) – (Total Stat: 60) Increases sprint speed and automatically reloads your equipped weapon after a short time sprinting. A top-tier movement Exotic for any subclass.
- Ballidorse Wrathweavers (Gauntlets) – (Total Stat: 61) Your Winter’s Wrath shockwave shatters and freezes nearby targets. Stasis shatter damage is also increased.
If you’ve unlocked your Exotic class item via the Dual Destiny mission (or Festival of the Lost 2024), Xûr will occasionally sell random-roll versions for Strange Coins. They’re not guaranteed every week, so check his inventory each week if you’ve unlocked them via Dual Destiny or past seasonal events.
Exotic Weapons (November 14 – 17, 2025)
- D.A.R.C.I. (Sniper Rifle) – While not a meta weapon currently, its personal assistant provides detailed enemy information and critical hit feedback.
- Telesto (Fusion Rifle) – An iconic weapon known for its unique projectiles that detonate on a delay.
- Vigilance Wing (Pulse Rifle) – A powerful PvP pulse rifle that provides buffs when nearby allies are defeated. Its catalyst is also available this week.
- Vigilance Wing Catalyst – A decent pickup if you use the weapon frequently in Crucible.
- Merciless Catalyst – Another available catalyst that is worth grabbing for completion’s sake.
- Hawkmoon (Hand Cannon) – Features an Eye of the Storm roll this week, which is not recommended.
Legendary Weapons
The highlight of the week is a verifiable god roll on the Warlock-specific sword, along with several other noteworthy weapons.
- Interference VI (Heavy Grenade Launcher) – CLOWN CARTRIDGE / FULL COURT. This is an extremely good roll. Full Court increases damage at a distance, and Clown Cartridge overflows the magazine. A fantastic option for anyone needing a strong Arc heavy weapon.
- Eternity’s Edge (Legendary Sword) – RELENTLESS STRIKES / FLASH COUNTER. This is a certifiable S-TIER GOD ROLL. The combination allows for infinite sword guarding, making you incredibly tanky. This is a unique and powerful roll that should not be missed.
- Quickfang (Legendary Sword) – RELENTLESS STRIKES / ASSASSIN’S BLADE. This is the god roll for movement speed. The lightweight frame combined with Assassin’s Blade makes for one of the fastest movement options in the game.
- Crown-Splitter (Legendary Sword) – Flash Counter / Surrounded. A decent roll that can be effective with Stronghold builds, but not a must-buy.
- Eyes Unveiled (Adept Linear Fusion Rifle) – Triple Tap / Frenzy. A decent roll on an Adept weapon that is no longer easily obtainable. Worth picking up if you need an adept LFR or for your collection.
- Belisarius-D (Pulse Rifle) – Elemental Capacitor / Headseeker. A decent combination, especially when paired with a Void subclass for stability, but not a top-tier roll.
- Hollow Words (Fusion Rifle) – Feeding Frenzy / Swashbuckler. An average roll that is not a priority.
- Deadlock (Shotgun) – Lone Wolf / Bait and Switch. Not a recommended perk combination for this shotgun frame, though it’s a rare chance to acquire this former competitive weapon.
- Brya’s Love (Scout Rifle) – Shoot to Loot / Pugilist. A poor roll; this weapon is also craftable, making this roll undesirable.
- Shayura’s Wrath (SMG) – Discord / Harmony. Not a good roll for this popular Trials of Osiris SMG.
- Legal Action II (Pulse Rifle) – Surplus / Adrenaline Junkie. Not a recommended roll.
Strange Gear & Other Offers
- Favor of the Nine Buff – Still available for 47 Strange Coins; boosts Strange Coin farming.
- Materials & Currency: Ascendant Shards, Ascendant Alloys, Enhancement Cores, Glimmer, and Raid Banners.
- Exotic Cipher Quest – Available weekly.
- Catalysts: Vigilance Wing and Merciless are available.
Weekly Purchase Recommendations (November 14 – 17, 2025)
- Eternity’s Edge → This is the chase item for Warlocks. The infinite guard roll is incredibly unique and powerful. Do not miss this.
- Interference VI → If you lack a strong Arc Heavy Grenade Launcher, this is a top-tier pickup. The Clown Cartridge/Full Court combination provides excellent damage output.
- Quickfang → Hunters should grab this for the movement speed god roll. It’s both effective and fun to use.
- Eyes Unveiled (Adept) → Consider picking this up if you don’t have a good Adept Linear Fusion Rifle, as the roll is decent and the weapon is hard to acquire.
- Exotic Armor → Check the stats on the available pieces, especially Transversive Steps for Warlocks and Ophidia Spathe for Hunters. Use your Ghost mods to try and secure a high-stat roll that fits your builds.
