Some questions about PoE, for someone who is stuck at work.

What do you get from finishing the level 28 PoE?

I remember getting lots of synths, strange coins and motes of light the couple times I ran it.

How do armour and weapon cores work?

They're a form of currency you trade for gear and guns.

Do you receive both a weapon an an armour core, or only one?

Only one and I'm pretty sure it's based on what lvl you complete.

Do I only need a weapon core to buy this weeks gun, or do I need something else as well?

Just the core and to be rank 1 with the vendor I believe.

Can I hold on the my armour core and see what the vendor has next week (I am using Ruin Wings, so I don't want other gauntlets)?

Yup. Even stick it in the vault.

What does the level 32 PoE drop?

I thought treasure keys were guaranteed at the end of each run but they're not, so I mostly only remember my disappointment. But I'm pretty sure it was the same as the lvl 28 reward + an armor core.

Is Etheric Light a guaranteed drop or random?

Guaranteed at lvl 34 Prison of Elders and above, random everywhere else.

Is it difficult to do a level 32 PoE as a level 31?

Could be. You can upgrade an exotic piece of gear straight away if you have an exotic shard though, should shoot you up to 32. You can also upgrade any exotic weapons immediately as well. Even just having a 365 weapon will make things nicer.

How do the treasure keys work?

There's are three chests at the end of each run, a big one in the middle and two smaller ones on either side. If you have a key on you, you can open the middle chest for exotic/legendary loot. As far as I know this chest is the same across all difficulties, and the two smaller chests contain the actual rewards.

Is the PoE unlocked after the story missions?

Yup.

Is it true exotics are always dropping from level 28 PoE?

Nah. If people think that's the case it's coz they're opening the treasure key chest each time.

Is PoE match made or do I need to use LFG?

Lvl 28 has matchmaking but the rest you gotta get a fireteam for.
