What's a Xûr?

Xûr, Agent of the Nine, is a strange vendor who randomly appears in a Public Sector in each of the Worlds, depending on the current Flashpoint. Xûr sells Exotic equipment and only takes Legendary Shards in exchange for them.

TL;DR: He's the Santa Claus of Destiny and every weekend is Christmas. Sometimes he brings you what you want, sometimes he brings you coal. Mostly it’s coal.

When does Xûr visit?

Xûr visits every Friday at 17:00 UTC and departs at reset. If you would like to see all the live conversions of Time Zones, please follow this link here.

So... no offense but which is it u/cozmo23 u/dmg04? When we ask about Xur selling collection rolls, you say it's a bug and unintentional... but then this season you said it IS intentional... can we get a solid answer?

Preferably one that involves it being bugged but not getting patched at the moment... Xur would be a complete waste to everyone INCLUDING new light players if he never sold anything aside from collection stat rolls... ESPECIALLY with elemental affinity being an unchangeable thing.

Hey Ghost,

Let's get down to business. The Xur not offering random rolls is represented by two bugs filed on the backend:

Xur Doesn't currently have random rolls
We're unable to set random stat rolls due to an issue with code

Cozmo had been in conversations over the bug of us not being able to grant random rolls at all via Xur. This is a code side bug that will take some dev/test time to address. The earliest we could expect a fix will be next season.

When I personally spoke with a few folks internally about Xur not having random rolls, I came to the understanding that this was expected functionality, but was unaware of the actual bug preventing us from taking action. We discussed the value of Xur, where it was noted that vendor continued to offer value for new players hunting for specific exotics, or value for returning players purchasing the engram for random rolls. As such, this was the information that I relayed to the community without the added context of the underlying bug.

To sum up: The team is working on a bug to give Xur random rolls. The earliest this could possibly be addressed is next season, but it could find itself in a later release due to prioritization of alternate bugs, issues or development needs. To put this in perspective when it comes to prioritization, Xur as a vendor continues to offer value to players, but the priority on this isn't as high as it would be if players couldn't interact with the vendor at all.

Apologies on the crossed wires in communication.
