Destiny: The Taken King will do something more than simply adding new content to the core game. As explained by lead designer Luke Smith at PAX 2015, the third expansion will come with a new consumable for Xur, which will give you huge chance to have more exotic items in your inventory.
This consumable is dubbed Three of Coins, and "lets you basically gamble the chance to find an exotic on the next boss you kill", in Smith's own words.
"Xur's still going to show up every week, he's still going to sell some amount of exotics. But now he's got a new mechanic that we're not talking too much about yet, but it's a new way for you to sort of gamble and get exotics out in the world. We're pretty excited about this.
One of our big important pillars for The Taken King's development was that we wanted you to find more stuff when you're running around the world. We wanted the feeling of finding loot to not be restricted to the post-game carnage report.
With this new mechanic you're going to see a lot of loot come out of monsters. I got more exotics in the first weekend while testing the buff than I've ever gotten in Destiny before."
