Bae- wrote i tried farming legendary's and exotic's by myself and i would barely get anything. i would get maybe only 1 legendary when all my ammo ran out. i did this for 2 hours and then i just gave up. is it maybe because you have to do this with a lot more people? to get a lot more stuff? please help

It's all luck really. If you get all the items checked at the tower that aren't a specific gun or Armour piece name then you also have a chance to get a legendary once your cryptarch rank goes up.

There is no such thing as Exotic Engrams, can only be obtained from bounties and or Xur

They are a thing....however.... you have a better chance to get 100 legendary or so engrams for each one of the exotic engrams you will get.

A couple things to note:

1. A random event occurs in two different ways. One of them being a strike in a space ship type object to the ground that explodes and can kill you on impact and another one is a all out war between the minions and you where hundreds will come out and delay your spawning kills with the loot cave. If either of these happen it's usually best to just finish the event because of getting vanguard reputation points from the impact random event or serious XP and chances to get engram drops from the all out war one.


2. Make sure after every 20 minutes to not go to the tower. Doing so will result in time wasted. Smart thing to do is keep all rare or higher drops and all engrams in inventory till you get to the tower and decide to keep them or not. Keep all engrams green and above because of the reputation points you get at the tower can reward you with legendary engrams from the crypt-arch rank going up.


3. Although it may be tempting to do if others are around you do not get upset if someone decides to troll you and sit in the cave or dancing in the spawn cave for a period of time. Simply go to the tower and discard the unwanted items and check your engrams and then come back later or just find a new lobby where someone isn't doing this.




There is another way to do this to get even more kills a hour and more not looking at the screen worthy which can be located here:

One problem with this method is some users are waiting over a hour for the pikes to spawn and they never come for some users. If you are wanting engrams right away this method may not be for you but if you have patience and time to spare feel free to try this method out. Just make sure once you get the pike that one of the random events don't destroy the pikes. I also would only recommend the pike method for a team rather than playing solo.

Really great post! I just purchased Destiny this weekend and I love the game thanks for the advice it's going to help me a lot!

I think they lowered the drop rate. They seem to not be dropping as often for me

I just tested it for about 45 minutes and got 2 legendary engrams. The patch notes didn't have anything with slowing any drop rates. I've noticed though however that you have luck and dry periods of dropping. More than likely just a dry streak

Wow your lucky... I've been doing this for 4 hrs and not gotten a single legendary. If you do this often may I join you sometime.

Absolutely, I will note however I'm not usually always this lucky. I've had a recent dry streak other than today.
