Hitlers thoughts on loot drop rate

[Mazmaz]

What level do you have to be to do the queen's quest? I'm only 22.

[Serra]

Fully upgrading normal legendary gear + 1 exotic will level you to 29 (109 light total). I see no point though because you're going to replace the gear with raid gear anyways if you plan on hitting 30.

I haven't done the hard raid yet, so I can't say if you get drops from both. However, being 29 would definitely help out there. The mobs are 30 and 31 right?

Anyone know what the grimoire bonus is for "Raid Introduction" rank 1?

Looks like none of the raid card give bonuses. At least not atm.. they all say come back later, which is weird..

I didn't look at the app last week, so I didn't see that stuff, so this is guessing on my part.

Someone mentioned getting loot between the Templar fight? Our group didn't get anything till we finished him completely.. boo! That said, there are supposedly four chests (one after you get in, one just after the templar (did not get this one, so can't say for sure), and then two in the Gorgon's maze). If those count, then those are four boxes, then the four rewards from fights should fill in the last four boxes. One for mid-Templar, one for beating the Templar, one for summoning Aethon (I got my raid body at that point), and one for beating him.

Also, boo 6souls! I really want a Shadow Price, but the one the perks on the vendor version are garbage. I got a scout rifle (for rank three) and a mote and cape (for rank four) for leveling up.. Bought the Comedian too.

I don't think the chests are part of the bosses looted. It should be the last 4 you mentioned but I will confirm tonight/tomorrow when we go through hard.

Edit - I'm also not familiar with the chest right after Templar.

[Ratatapa]

I'm confident that after last week's raid, this week will go a lot faster up until the final boss, which we didn't get much time with. Most of us have went from 25-26 to 27-28, which makes a huge difference for the mob waves.

Edit: As long as Rata doesn't spend 45 minutes attempting failed jumps!!

Challenge accepted!

Servers just went down for a patch. idk what it changed.

[Serra]

Took some searching:

Second chest is located in the Templar's boss room, on the left side there is a break in the column a bit above head height. The chest only appears after the Templar is killed, however this chest is bugged and seems to be giving the same rewards as the normal Venus chests.

[Ratatapa]

Same just got a patch install

[Cail]

Nooooo my looooot cavvvee.

[dejet]

So ya fuck you. Had some queens things saved up to try and get to 29 today.


They have made the queens missions all but worthless to most.

[Kaslo]

"Material rewards for dismantling Queen's Wrath gear will no longer provide ascendant materials, but missions will continue to drop Legendary items"

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nooooo my looooot cavvvee.

ToC got hammered too, if this is anything to go by:

Missions
Reduced drop rate of engrams following a hard wipe [fixed in 1.0.1.4]

[shoji]

Rip shards from queens gear.

[Kaslo]

"Respawn timers for monster caves in the Shattered Coast have been normalized to 40 seconds (increased from 10)"

wait is that the headshot spot I posted earlier? Why Bungie why!

[Kaiseran]

Wow, Queen missions are useless now. I fucking had 8 of them. I wanted to get to 29 damn it!

[Squah]

So I guess the only feasible spot to farm engrams now is the vex vs fallen area in venus I guess

[Ratatapa]

Fk I should've done my quests his morning

[Gustave]

Kinda wishing I didn't drop an extra 25 shards to hit 29.

Dev notes for anyone interested:
