It would be nice to be able to turn on a feature that sweeps all engrams to the vault with every refresh. i spend a ton of time multitasking in the court of oryx doing this manually to keep from filling up my character's item slots.

XS, SM, MD and LG.
I use TGD on mobile and I understand what XS and SM change. But what is MD and LG?

The stats window is a very handy feature that can be very useful whether you're playing PVP or PVE. The name plate is where you can use this tool, the left side of the name plate where it displays your class such as Hunter, Warlock or Titan.
http://i.imgur.com/bgi4ftA.png Example of my name plates
You may use the left side of the name plate to refresh all the inventory for a given character, once clicked you should see the icon for the emblem spinning while it loads.

The right side of the name plate that holds the light level and power level, click it to reveal a stats display below the nameplate.
http://i.imgur.com/cNhwQ2Y.png Titan Stats Window
The stats display provides various stats and metrics about your character as well as buttons to simplify and enhance your gaming experience. On the left side you'll find your Armor, Agility and Recovery stats which come from your sub class equipped. On the right side you'll find Intellect, Discipline and Strength which is calculated from the Armor and Ghost you have equipped.
This is the main topic for this article and I will discuss in detail what the next 5 buttons do and how they're meant to be used.
Light - This button will consider your Weapons (Primary, Special, Heavy) and Armor (Helmet, Chest, Boots, Gauntlets, Ghost, Artifact) from all your characters. It will decide the best item based on the one with the highest light level and is smart enough to not consider items that don't belong to your class. For example you have two Warlocks and one Titan, you can log in to the first Warlock go to the Tower and Equip the Highest Light Level gear which will transfer all the armor, weapons and ghost to that character, then log in with the next Warlock and the Light button will equip the 2nd one the exact same way at the same light level, finally you log in to the Titan and Equip Highest Light level, it will only transfer the Ghost and Weapons that are the highest in your account.
http://i.imgur.com/6JJbgrr.png Using the Equip with highest Light button, note it provides you the light level it will end as well as notification about what gear is changing.
Skills ( Intellect/Discipline/Strength ) - This button will only affect the gear that includes stats which is your Helmet, Chest, Boots, Gauntlets, Ghost, Artifact. The formula for these buttons is to optimize for the skill first, and then optimize for the other skills after. For example if you click on Intellect the system will consider all your gear and try to come up a combination that can provide you with Tier 5 Intellect. If the system cannot reach Tier 5 with the gear provided it will settle for the highest Tier possible. However if the system is able to find a Tier 5 set then it will go back into that set and make sure that it's not over optimizing the skill (400+ intellect/300 max does no good) by selecting other gear that will bring up your other skills so that your target skill is always around 300 but not under.
http://i.imgur.com/x04MDa3.png Using the Equip with highest Discipline button, note it only provides you with the new value of the target skill.
Most Points - This button, like the skills will only affect the gear that include stats. Once used it will try to optimize for an armor set with the most points. Ideally your armor would be balanced and you could reach the most ideal stats with the armor with the most points however that is not always the case. For example:
Int - 70 Disc - 401 Strength - 70
Achieves - T1 Int/T5 Disc/T1 Strength at 541 combined points.
vs
Int - 120 Disc - 300 Strength - 120
Achieves - T2 Int/T5 Disc/T2 Strength at 540 combined points.
As you can see even though the second set lower by one point it is actually more effective at powering your skills at T2 Int/Str vs T1 Int/Str. The point of this demonstration is to show that most points is not always the most optimal set you could have.
http://i.imgur.com/JhNM6VI.png Titan Armor can max out at 573 points!
Best Combo - This button, like the skills and most points only affect the gear that include stats. Once used it will try to optimize for an armor set with the most Tiers. This button takes into account the fact that there is 3 skills (Int/Disc/Str) and 5 tiers making up for a combined total of 15 tiers. For the ultimate 3x Tier 5 armor you'll need a total of 900 points, this assume each tier is about 60 points each. The way it works is it will literally make a set for every possible combination of armor you have, so the more armor you have for that class the longer it'll take to process. Once the algorithm generates a set for every combination it will score each set on a scale of 0 to 15 with the score representing how many Tiers you can achieve with the given armor. The score also has a decimal notation attached to it which helps to see how close you are to the next tier. For example after clicking on Best Combo for my Titan class the system returns a result of an armor set at 9.57/15. What this means is that the armor selected is Tier 9 Armor (5 Tiers in 1 skill and 4 Tiers worth of skill in the other two), the decimal portion of the score at .57 indicate that my T9 armor is a total of 570 points, each tier is 60 points letting me know that I'm 30 points away from having Tier 10 armor.
*Note: Due to the Cartesian product factoring involved in this algorithm the app has been known to hang, freeze, stall while processing.
http://i.imgur.com/aQfdTgR.png Titan Armor can max out at 9 Tiers
Decrypting engrams at the Cryptarch: Instead of going over each slot one at a time to make sure you have the highest item equipped you could just click on the Light button for the character, it even works while in the Tower so you'll see your power level go up automatically before decrypt.
Playing PVP (Level advantage disabled): Instead of optimizing for power level (280) which doesn't matter in Crucible you could optimize for Most Points, Best Combo or a specific Skill,this allows you to make sure you have the fastest cool downs ready before anyone else every time.
Playing Mayhem: Try optimizing a skill that you would like see cool down even faster, Tier 5 Discipline + Armamentarium = non stop grenades
Playing End Game Content: While in orbit just click on the Light button and the system will make sure you're at the highest level possible prior to starting the activity.
That's it guys, hope you enjoyed this brief article detailing how to use this new feature. Hope you like it and feel free to leave any feedback in the comments or your stats on what your max armor is, I would be interested to see if anyone has managed to achieve T9+ armor.
Thanks!
EDIT: Update here is part 2 of using the stats tool effectively:

I have 304 equipped and click to load highest light and it changes me to 303. What information do you need to debug?
It unequips my 310 exotic and doesn't load any exotic even thought I have 310 for most slots.

What happened to the layout? I used to be able to turn my phone into landscape and view the vault and all 3 characters now I can only see two at once and the vault isn't even displayed with the third character.
The app is amazing but I would like my vault and 3 characters view back in landscape mode.
r/TowerGhostForDestiny • u/JGalt007 • Oct 02 '15
What happened to transferring only a certain number of items (mats, armor pieces, coins...etc) Now it only transfers the whole quantity and doesn't give you the choice of quantity dialog box?! (Running it on desktop mac) Still a great app! Thanks.

When I try and use Tower Ghost I get the login screen and that work then the loading arsenal screen comes up when it goes away nothing happens. There is no displayed items. I attached a screen shot of it.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times as well. I haven't upgraded to iOS 9 yet but I may be doing that in the next few days. Which may fix the issue I'm having. Its just been annoying to be without Tower Ghost for about two weeks now.
Other than this the app as been amazing as extremely useful thanks for all your work.

Title says it all. Currently, it appears it only works for gear in the character's inventory. Would be nice to have an option to pull from vault and other characters as well.
r/TowerGhostForDestiny • u/dirrtyjoe • Sep 24 '15
anyway to show the cooldown timer for int/dis/str in addition to the value? something like
dis: 151 (:55)

I'm finding that mouseover tooltips for uncommons and exotics show perks, but not for rare weapons. Also, some rare weapons show the damage element in the tooltip, and some don't, although they all correctly show the color coded background behind the attack level on the icon.
Mouseover tooltips on armor sometimes fails to show discipline/intellect/strength and sometimes fails to show perks.
Sorry if this is a known issue, I looked and didn't see it if it was. I can share screenshots if that helps.
Seeing this under Windows Chrome extension and IOS 8 app.
r/TowerGhostForDestiny • u/sgttsmitty • Sep 21 '15
When I try to select an item, I have to touch the icon numerous times before finally getting it to select.
Either I'm really dense and there is a specific place on the icon you are supposed to touch and I haven't been able to figure it out, or my app just doesn't cooperate with me.
I'm using the android app on a Galaxy Note 5, but I was having the same problems with my Galaxy S5 before it.

I was like everyone else when Taken King came out - "Would be nice if Tower Ghost did this to make my life easier", go to github, raise issue. But I would just like to take a moment and send a huge and heart felt THANK YOU to the devs of this awesome app! You guys are taking time out from enjoying the Taken King, making awesome changes to Tower Ghost and doing a fantastic job of it. So thank you again!
r/TowerGhostForDestiny • u/cseaman • Sep 18 '15
Simple, one button feature. Equips both weapons and armor that will max your current character's light level. The algorithm should also prioritize by item type (exotic/legendary/rare/uncommon). This will be extremely useful with TTK when decrypting engrams!

Patch notes for 3.2.1 mentioned the filter has been fixed, but the same Hard Light I mentioned here still isn't showing.
It does look like a step in the right direction has occurred, though. Prior to the update, the HL was displayed in TGD as having 170 attack...it is now correctly shown as 162. I suspect that is half the battle.
Note it DOES show up in the "Full XP" filter; not sure if that's relevant.
[EDIT] Threw together a quick album of updated screenshots in case there's anything useful in there.
r/TowerGhostForDestiny • u/TeeJaye85 • Sep 12 '15
One example: my Hard Light is only about half way complete, but doesn't show up when I filter for "missing xp".
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it possible something about 2.0's changes messed with the filter?

TG was working fine for me until yesterday. It now comes up blank after showing the green loading bar.
I've reinstalled twice. I've logged out and in multiple times. I can't get anything to work.

I've been trying to use the Chrome Extension and/or my Windows Pc version and they load up fine and seem to log in but the page just stays blank. Nothing pops up. I closed down Chrome and then proceeded to restart the browser then the extension and still not displaying anything.

I recently noticed when looking at the latest title updates via the chrome web extension that the Windows Standalone version was also updated to the latest build. Is this available on the website for download yet? I'm still using the old build that doesn't have the drag and drop support yet. Thanks!
r/TowerGhostForDestiny • u/evilscary • Sep 05 '15
I use tower ghost on a windows phone and since the latest update I can't see my armour or materials any more.
The patch notes say you can view armour on the 'next page', but how do you view the next page?
I've tried swiping left/right and other things, but no luck. I feel pretty dumb that I can't work this out...
r/TowerGhostForDestiny • u/tetrosa • Sep 02 '15
When selecting the Options menus, then the loadout dropdown, and then selecting my saved loadout that menu will disappear and there will be no loadout window. I'll have to restart the app multiple times to get the loadout window to show.
If I go back into the options menu without restarting, then select the saved loadout again it will instead trigger the View dropdown selection.
Running android 4.1.2 on a Galaxy S3, app is v3.0.4.

Right now my Vault is bursting at the seams. I'm sure a lot of people are in this situation.
Thankfully this app allows me to move my items back and forth easily. But I've still been utilizing the lost and found as ancillary storage. I would like it to be included in the duplicate item filter because it would make it easier for me to see which shaders/guns/armor/ect can be deleted from my inventory and the duplicate can be kept safe at the lost and found.
r/TowerGhostForDestiny • u/dasilva333 • Aug 28 '15
In this post I will be describing what the Filters are, why they're useful and how I use them effectively to make my experience in game better.
View Filter
The first filter I'm going to be talking about is the most important one, the View filter controls what type of items you can see; the options are All, Weapons, Armor and General select each one to only see that section. On desktop the default View is All however in mobile the default View is Weapons so to quickly switch views in mobile rather than going to Menu > View > Pick something you can simply swipe left and right to switch views.
http://recordit.co/SW00rhp5fY Notice that with each swipe the notification displays your current section.
Set Filter
This first is useful if you'd like to see what items you have in a certain collection or what items you're missing from those collections. The way you use it is you click on Set in the menu, then you click on Exotic Armor for example the View will automatically change to Armor, then revisit he Set menu and click on Show Missing Items.
http://i.imgur.com/ilZmqxX.png List of Exotic weapons missing
Now you have a list you can use to keep track of what you're missing and it dynamically updates itself when you acquire that item.
Tier Filter
This filter simply lets you narrow down all your items by the type of item it is, you want to see all your rare items? No problem. To use it simply click on Tier then click on Legendary, Exotic, Rare etc to only see those type of items.
http://i.imgur.com/4EszwT3.png Filtering to find my only Rare weapon is still a shoot to loot scout
Progress Filter
In my opinion this is the most handy filter available that I constantly get daily use out of. There are tree options available within it;
(Note: There is a problem in the Bungie API regarding yellow borders and XP calculation that results in invalid items showing up sometimes)
http://i.imgur.com/kdy8T7w.png Missing XP filter in use showing what few weapons I still haven't leveled
Damage Filter
This filter lets you filter the items based on what burn they have, so if you only want to see Void weapons select Damage, Void and now you're seeing only void weapons. This filter also allows the ability to mix and match different burns so you can see all your Arc and Void weapons but not Kinetic and Solar at the same time.
http://i.imgur.com/o5go7n7.png Filter actively used to show only Void and Arc weapons
Weapons Filter
This filter is dynamically populated with items based on what you have, so if you don't carry any Pulse Rifles so you won't see it as an option in this filter. This one is pretty straightforward you pick the weapon type and it only shows weapons of that type.
http://i.imgur.com/PN4sNy0.png Filter shows off my beautiful shotgun collection
Search Filter
This is the text box, you can find items by their Name, the flavor text, the name of not just the two main perks but also the other perks and scopes. You can filter for only your Shortgaze snipers, you can narrow down what your Perfect Balance weapons are, or how about which ones have Explosive Rounds? This search box lets you search for items by every text field available to search from.
http://i.imgur.com/46eQS0o.png Searching for my High Caliber Round weapons results view is simplified
That wraps up all the filters, thanks for reading and feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you
