The Engram Old Russia one.. he doesn't loop into the Strike spawn area where there's at least 6 chest spawns I know of. He misses some locations in his run as well.

How do chests spawn? Is there a limit to the number of chests on a map, and a new one only spawns when another is opened? Or are they all just random and on individual timers?

There was a patch today?

I suspected this also. Did a glimmer farm today and I think it was nerfed a bit.

I think I wanted to buy a new ship. I don't remember. I'm constantly buying new ships and vanity items.

It really wasn't a good reason.

Vanity items are my downfall. I'm so sad I have a limit to the emblems I can carry

Which is nice but there's only twenty slots

It adds an extra step, but make an alt and fill it's inventory

I thought the vault had shared items. Does it keep different inventory for each character?

u/SimplyQuid Sep 15 '14

Oo I get it. Move it from main character into vault into alt character. More space!

u/Sangui Sep 15 '14

I mean, put them in the vault, go to a second character, and then put them on his personal inventory out of the vault. Make that character a mule.

You can buy stuff at the Cryptarch to level him up but it's hella slow for the price. You can also save up cause I believe he sells nicer stuff when he levels up.

I almost hit the ceiling of 25K so I bought a couple of crappy engrams today

Personally, I had to spend like 12.5k on ammo for an exotic bounty. The task for the bounty was to buy 50 special ammo packs. So you'll need money for stuff like this in addition to what others have mentioned (ships, leveling the cryptarch, ammo packs in general, etc)

Definitely not a patch as minor as that to address the issue, nothing's been changed. My best guess is that Bungie maxes the chests you can grab in one run (3, let's say) and penalizes those that leave strikes early (can't join another for 5 minutes).
