Major Edit:#3
Seeing that this post wasn't going away and the Troll'ers were out I just decided to change the Title.
Yes I made the Mistake of not taking into account that you get 5 (3 of Coins) consumables for the price of 7 Strange Coins. So my numbers were off & it was more like 1/10 Tries which meant it was a 14:1 investment.
14 coins to 1 exotic drop. So the drop rate is about the same price as if you bought it from xûr only higher @ 290. So now the question is,.... Is it worth it?
You still have the randomness of not knowing what you'll get & wether it's the item you want.
So I'm just asking now how many consumables did it take & was it a Yr1 Gear drop or did you get a new exotic?
Please,.... Feel Free to leave your finds. If it's just to troll just move along.

[quote]Don't buy the new Consumable 3 of Coins. Bungie Nerfed the Consumable so Hard it's not worth Getting. Just save you strange coins & just buy your exotic when xûr sells it. My friend did some field farming testing & was only able to surmise that bungie reduces the drop rate to 10% He got 1 exotic out of 10 tries & frankly, I find that return not even worth buying it. That's like spending 70 strange coins to even remotely have a chance to get 1 exotic drop. 70:1 I may not be a financial advisor but to me that's a really BAD RETURN RATIO. You can BUY 5 exotics with that amount of STRANGE COINS. I can only say, if you just don't care & have excess Coins to burn threw knock yourself out. As for me,... I'm gonna start hoarding my coins once again Edit: it was brought to my attention that I had made a mathematical error. (I failed to remember 7 buys you 5) My numbers were WAY OFF!!! It's more like 14:1 So this post as been rendered moot & will be closing it[/quote] I got invective with one not 10 mins ago [
