Legendary Engram Rarity
Hey all, I don't really know if this is the first post about this or not but I've been running friend surveys on the people I play Destiny with and they seem to be having the same problem. Legendary Engrams are scare. Over fall break (cause I'm in college and I finally got some time away) I managed to play hours upon hours. Before the patch, banning the farm caves (glad for this) I found legendary engrams every now and again. Now, I've found one legendary Engram for gloves over a week of gameplay about 6 hrs a day. I didn't even get the Engram from a drop or strike or crucible. The Cryptarch magically handed me one from reach another level in his services. If people are having the same problem please bring this to Bungie's attention. This drop rate of loot needs to be fixed. As much as I love spending countless hours on 24 strikes and very repetitiveness, I would like to be rewarded for it.
Thanks for listening,
GT: Amoxidy

3 RepliesWhile I feel your pain, there are many ways to obtain legendary equipment, so i'm not sure I could agree with an increase in the drop rate. I understand you may not have as much time as some to play (I have this issue myself from time to time due to work), so I would say your best bet would be to run the high level Strike Playlists. Doing this, you have a chance to obtain a legendary item as a mission reward, you obtain Vanguard Marks which can be used to purchase legendary items, you raise your Vanguard rank which again gives you the chance to receive a legendary item, and with all the blue engrams you obtain you can easily level your Cryptarch rank which may also reward you with legendary items. Personally I have only ever received 2 legendary items through a legendary engram drop, and i've actually received around 6 or so legendary items from a rare engram drop. All that being said, I can agree the most exciting way to receive a legendary item is through a legendary engram drop. But trust me, you will hit a point where you are swimming in purple, by which time the engram drop rate won't matter anymore.
