He's not incorrect, you don't get legendary gauruntees from racing through strikes and just getting to the boss. Let alone the engram you get is possibly trash anyway. Kill everything make your drop better. I've gotten better loot this way. Since the update. Since the update my crypt arch has not givin me one single legendary engram from the legendary package you get for level up. My crypt arch level is 47. Almost 50 I wonder what happens there.

  • The Postmaster is the new Cryptarch! I've been saying this since the patch, lol. Postmaster is now the one trolling us, instead of the Cryptarch. The amount of Legendary mail packs that have turned into two blues for me.... ugh. Buying stuff with marks is the only guarantee. And actually getting a legendary engram, I suppose...

  • Well if they made all those Legendary mail packs into Legendary items, every single person would be at least level 28, possibly 29 due to the sheer amount of shards you would get.

  • My cryptarch is lvl 36 and I have not gotten a purple engram from him since the patch. I have ranked him up 6 times and I always gets blues from the post master. Kind of sucks.

  • Nothing happens at 50, much like every other level of the cryptarch, mines at 56 and hell since the patch ive gotten 0 legendaries from the packs he gives, so much for the 100% exchange if you cant get any in the first place >.>

  • That's the whole point... LOL. They even said they were worried about the economy, so did you think they wouldn't have added a trade off to the patch? If they allowed all Legendary Engrams to be Legendary or Exotic upon reveal at the old drop rates, everyone would be fully decked out a day after hitting level 20. That leaves nothing to work for.

  • Yeah but they can get decked out doing queens missions now for at least two pieces of legendary armor. After that why even do queens missions?

  • Legendary Sniper apparently. But in truth Queen's Wrath doesn't give very good armor; it's just nice for those who haven't gotten lucky with Engrams. This is why they nerfed the Shards from the Queen's Wrath armors. They're attempting to protect the "economy".

  • Old drop rates? I used to get 1-3 legendary drops a day. I haven't seen one since the patch.

  • He actually is incorrect. Now that you get a guaranteed reward of 2-3 engrams...The 10% chance on killing 20 mobs with a 1% chance of a legendary, probably less actually, isn't worth the time. - It actually isn't. I received 2 legendary engrams as rewards for completion last night...Many blues. Only had 1 blue drop in all 4 strikes from a mob. It's random chance vs a guarantee. Statistics don't lie. That guarantee is > a random chance, every single time. Just sayin.

    You have absolutely no guarantee of getting 2 ENCRYPTED engrams which are the only ones worth getting OR getting 3-4 end game roll rewards which is a rare occurance. A lot of times you will get shaders that you already have or two already decrypted blues that aren't worth the time it takes to dismantle. End game roll PLUS random chance results in a much more consistent outcome over a period of time than simply relying on the RANDOM CHANCE of getting a good end game roll.

  • You just said the same thing in two different ways. End game engrams are a reliable source because of the guarantee as opposed to the random chance found in the mission... Also leveling the cryptarch does matter since those engrams translate into an additional chance at a legendary... Ultimately the guarantee of end mission engrams is greater than the chance of an engrams, farming.
