I just learned you can trade in three blue Transmat Mods to Amanda to get a purple.

What do purple TRANSMAT mods do differently then blue ones?

They don't do anything differently. The purple ones are just more rare, and are the "cool" ones (The Cabal drop pod one, for example). Use the preview function the Bright Engram to see which are blue and which are purple.

.....and it’s pretty unlikely that anyone would have 3 of the same blue transmat mods at that point.

Someone didn't buy $100 worth of Eververse stuff week 1 apparently.....

Completely kidding (I'm sure some people did though). There really is zero reason to go visit her. I'm just glad to know this is a thing we can do though. time to trade in some transmats

I wouldn't say that there is Zero reason to visit her, especially in the upcoming future she may have an increasing role. I learned in Destiny 1 whenever there is a decent sized update to check in with each and every different vendor and character(s) that you can interact with, in order to see what has or has not changed.

I noticed after the Curse of Osiris Update that Amanda now offers the Rare grade, red color themed, Sparrow "Athena Victorious". This was the promotional Sparrow that retailer Target was giving away in conjunction with Kellogg's PopTarts purchase (or vice-versa).
It was also given away in Europe to customers with the ISP Virgin Media who also receive their broadband fibre service (can't recall if there was also an EU pre-order bonus that used this Sparrow too or something like that).

I can't tell if you are can't believe people haven't figured this out because it's exactly like Banshee-44 or if you are just figuring out that Banshee-44 does this too...

I don't think it's either one. I think Insane read too fast and didn't realize we were talking specifically about Transmat effects, rather than armor/weapon mods. :)

OH!

...LOL!

Well shit. >‿<

stabbim Wow. I've never seen this either. Do you have to have 3 of the SAME mod for it to show up? It might be that I've never had 3 of the same one.

ZackDark Yeah, same mod. Just checked.

If I am understanding this right, what has been described has been something you could do with Banshee-44 since launch. 3 Blue Mods of the same type can become 1 Purple Mod. Dismantling a Purple Mod becomes a Mod Component. Mod Components are used to buy other Purple Mods from Banshee-44.

Key word "too". I mean, it's cool that you can do it with Amanda as well, but... I don't understand the general reaction. Lucky 10,000?

Anytime anyone uses XKCD to explain something it makes me all warm inside.

I’m sorry. ):

I’ve just been deleting them as I get them since a week after launch. ): Also, this isn’t a new thing with the update—it’s been possible since launch, the game just literally never tells you about it, and since there’s never a reason to visit Amanda, it’s highky unlikely most would just stumble upon it.

Yeah, wasn't really blaming you - just amazed by my incredibly poor timing.
