'''Xûr | '''Xûr'''<ref name = "Xur"/> is a vendor who sells Exotic items in exchange for [[Strange Coin]]s in ''[[Destiny]]'', and in exchange for Legendary Shards in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. In ''Destiny'', he only appears from Friday to Sunday, while in ''Destiny 2'' he appears from Friday to the weekly reset on Tuesdays.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Allies/Tower Allies|Tower Allies]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Tower Allies#Agent of the IX|Agent of the IX]]''</ref><ref name = "Xur">[http://destinynews.net/xur-agent-nine/ '''Destiny News.net''' - ''Xûr, Agent of the Nine'']</ref> In ''Destiny'', Xûr appears randomly at one of six locations in the [[Tower]] or one location in the [[Vestian Outpost]]. In ''Destiny 2'', his location varies every week, appearing in one of three places: at the [[Watcher's Grave]] on [[Nessus]], the [[Tower (Destiny 2)#Hangar|Hangar]] in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|New Tower]], or at the [[Winding Cove]] in the [[European Dead Zone]]. In ''The Final Shape'', he has a shop in the Tower Bazaar and accepts Strange Coins again. | ||

Xûr first appeared in the Tower after the end of the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]]. [[Cryptarch]] [[Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil]] speculated that the Nine had previously made use of the [[Ahamkara]] for their paracausal abilities, and had sent Xûr to interact with the Guardians for similar reasons.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | Xûr first appeared in the Tower after the end of the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]].

Xûr asked Orin to "forgive [[The Nine|them]]" while she crushed his windpipe and further interrogated him. After being freed from Orin's grasp, he reached into his robes to reveal a silver jar. Misinterpreting Xûr's actions as a sign of hostility, Orin struck the Agent in the chest with her war hammer, sending him flying, and breaking his spine. Xûr survived but acquired a permanently hunched posture due to the blow.<ref name="Debt">'''Bungie (2019/3/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore:Ecdysis|Ecdysis]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#Debt|Debt]]''</ref> | ||

Note that Xûr will not sell both an Exotic weapon and a Legacy Engram during the same visit, only one or the other. Legacy Engrams only contain Year 1 weapons or armor, but if a player receives a weapon that they don't have in Year 3, that same weapon will become available in its current iteration in the [[Exotic]] kiosks in the [[Tower]]. | ||

Before [[Forsaken]], Xûr appeared either in a predefined spot within that week's chosen [[Flashpoint]] [[Destination]], or else in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]], if a DLC Destination was selected. Since then, he still appears in one of his predefined spots, which is randomly selected among all base ''[[Destiny 2]]'' [[Destination]]s. As of [[Beyond Light]], this location is limited to the Tower, the [[European Dead Zone]], and [[Nessus]]. | |||
=== Former Wares === | Instead of [[Strange Coin|Strange Coins]], he accepts [[Legendary Shard|Legendary Shards]]. Each week, his available stock of Exotics is randomized, and includes one random armor piece for each class, a random weapon, a special 'fated' or 'isochronal' exotic engram that is guaranteed to decrypt into an as-yet-undiscovered '''non-quest''' armor ''or'' weapon, and assorted other items. If all suitable exotic armor and weapons have been discovered, a new roll of armor for the player's current class is decrypted instead. | ||
In [[Season of the Lost]], Xûr began to offer a selection of Legendary weapons introduced in previous seasons, including older [[Trials of Osiris]] and [[Nightfall]] weapons, in addition to a random set of vaulted armor. As of [[The Witch Queen]], he will also sell one random roll of each of the vaulted exotic weapons that feature them. His entire current inventory can be found [https://www.light.gg/db/vendors/2190858386/x%C3%BBr/ here]. | |||
In [[The Final Shape]], he accepts Strange Coins again and has a reputation track. Spending Strange Coins increases reputation with Xûr. He also began selling Exotic catalysts for weapons before the release of the Witch Queen expansion and allowing players to obtain a buff called Strange Favor after spending 47 Strange Coins. He has set up a permanent shop inside the Tower Bazaar, so he no longer travels between destinations. | |||
