To the idiots who say grimoire is only ghosts...
Let me clear up the grimoire=dead ghosts claim.
Ghost account for about 5 grimoire each. Some Ghosts count for 10 or 15 though.
There are 77 dead ghosts.
77x5=385. Let's just round that up to approximately 550. Fair enough?
Only 550 score out of a possible 3620 (xb) or 3665 (ps) can be given to you by finding dead ghosts. While that is a substantial gain, it is not the key factor for a high grimoire.
You say Grimoire doesn't show skill? Let me brake it down.
Where did the other 3,000 points come from? It shows you have played a variety of PvE and PvP content, and that you have done them [u]multiple[/u] times. It shows commitment to the game. Whether that is a good or bad thing is up for debate.
Now, grimoire means, for the most part, [u]experience[/u]. You do not need a high grimoire score to be good. You can have a natural talent at the game.
But:
talent+experience=skill
When talent is refined with experience, that makes a player skilled.
[i][b]Being able to analyze the situation and go where you are needed without anyone having to tell you to. [/b][/i]
That is why grimoire, to me, means skill.
[b]Usually[/b] anyway. I will play with anyone, it doesn't matter to me. But, I will prefer people who have a higher score. I feel I can trust them to know what is going on.

The only occasions I check someone's grimoire is if run into someone very low level while on patrol, just to see if they might be new. I like to see new players entering the game. Another time is if I get matchmade with someone in a strike weekly or POE and they seem to be making bad decisions. If they have a low grimoire then I know that they might not have the XP and I'll need to step it up. Not because they need carried, but because as a team we need to fill that void. Example. Earlier today I was farming 28 POE. 2 games in a row, different players, one of the other guys seemed completely lost, like he didnt know what to expect or what the objectives were. Both of these players kept being killed and did not anticipate targets or mines. They both had low grimoire. 34s with barely over 2000. Both were also even for a 28 poe seemingly under equiped or just simply made bad choice in gear and or weapons.
