For the March 24–28, 2023 weekend, Xur was at Watcher’s Grave on Nessus, and he was selling The Queenbreaker, Shinobu’s Vow, Actium War Rig, Verity’s Brow, Hawkmoon, Dead Man’s Tale, an Exotic Engram, a free Xenology quest, and Legendary weapons and armor. The details below come from GameSpot’s guide to that week, published March 24, 2023. They describe that archived weekend, not the current rotation, so treat the prices and stock as historical.
Where to find Xur on Nessus
The 2023 guide directs players to Nessus and the Watcher’s Grave transmat zone. From the transmat, head north toward the area exit and look for a large pink-moss tree on the right. Xur was standing on its broad, flat branch.

GameSpot reported that Xur did not appear on the map when he arrived, so players had to find him by sight rather than by marker. The guide also said he appeared on Fridays at the daily reset, which it gave as 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET. Those times were the reset schedule as reported in 2023.

| Class and piece | Total | Mobility | Resilience | Recovery | Discipline | Intellect | Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hunter: Shinobu’s Vow (gauntlets) | 61 | 3 | 19 | 10 | 14 | 2 | 13 |
| Titan: Actium War Rig (chest armor) | 66 | 13 | 3 | 17 | 18 | 2 | 13 |
| Warlock: Verity’s Brow (helmet) | 64 | 12 | 8 | 11 | 6 | 19 | 8 |
A higher total does not make a roll better for every build. The Titan piece has the highest total here, but its distribution is weighted toward Discipline, Recovery, Mobility, and Strength. The Hunter piece is weighted toward Resilience. Compare the spread against the stats your build depends on before choosing.
GameSpot also gave each piece a suggested use. It said Shinobu’s Vow suits a Hunter built around Skip Grenades, Actium War Rig works with auto rifles and machine guns, and Verity’s Brow can support a fireteam’s grenade energy. These are the author’s recommendations, not results of testing the pieces in gameplay.

The same guide also covers the Legendary weapons Hollow Words, Fire and Forget, Night Watch, No Reprieve, Blood Feud, IKELOS_SR_v1.0.3, and Thoughtless, along with the Eidolon Pursuant armor set for all three classes. This article does not reproduce those perk columns or stat totals. The GameSpot site hosts the full guide, but the specific article is the one by Darryn Bonthuys published March 24, 2023.
What this archived listing can and cannot tell you
- Established: the location, route, stock, prices, perks, and stat totals that GameSpot printed for the March 24–28, 2023 weekend.
- Not established here: whether those details match Bungie’s own in-game data for that week. This article did not check them against Bungie.
- Not current: Xur’s location, prices, and stock change from week to week. Use the dates above to confirm which weekend a listing belongs to before acting on it.
For a current Xur check, the in-game Xur vendor is the reliable source, since the stock and location shift with each weekly reset.
