Why do Legendary engrams give rare/blue items?
For the 2nd time now i've had a legendary engram drop only to be given a blue not even level 20 item.
Can someone explain this -blam!-ery?

1 ReplyAt least you got a legendary engram
-
I'll just put this out there as a comparison of sorts, but I have yet to receive a single legendary engram. However, I have gotten 2 legendary weapons and an exotic weapon. The exotic was not from an engram, but a reward after completing the daily crucible on the star map list.

Thank yourself lucky, I just had my Legendary package off the postmaster for reaching rank 3 with the cryptarch, which contained 3 Engrams, I had 1 rare and 2 greens from it.
-
Its all luck
-
I had 5 legendary engrams today n only got blue stuff, my cryptarch rank is 8 but iv only got 2 legendary items from drops and 1 exotic chest piece.
-
Because color engrams just mean there is a higher chance for that color item. Supposedly a higher Cryptarch rank increases the chances as well. Why Bungie did this, I do not know. I can guess it is to make getting good gear longer, but it's still kind if disappointing.

I got a -blam!-ing EXOTIC warlock helmet from a purple engram when I was expecting a green or some shit. I'm a Titan, and my Warlock friend was quite salty about it.

Its all explained on item info

I know your pain I probably went through roughly four or five (maybe six) legendary engrams then today I got one from lowly fallen dreg, went to the cryptarch completely expecting it to be a rare weapon and lord behold I got a legendary fusion rifle, (and I love fusion rifles). You got just keep on going till you get one its tough but when you get one its one of the best feelings in the world
-
Iv got legendary items from blue orbs, and from purple. It's just random. Is this your first time with a random loot drop?

2 RepliesIt's called anti climax. It's happened to me a few times, annoying but that's the name of the game

4 RepliesIt might be beacuse of your criptex rank. As you buy stuff from him and give him stuff to unlock your reputation with him goes up. The higher your rep, the better the gear. Same thing happens with the vanguards, gunsmith, groups (dead orbit, new monarch, so on) the more you deal with these people the higher your rep gets and the better stuff your given.

6 RepliesYeah, it's pretty dumb and I will never see the logic behind it. I hope it's to be patched soon because otherwise it just comes off as an excuse to keep us grinding so that we don't notice the lack of content and creativity.
-
This happened to me once and I was really mad. I'm lucky though that I did it again and I got a legendary boots.
-
1 ReplyI understand that its RNG, but the drop rate in the legendary engrams is already extremely low. At level 22 i havent a single one. Ive only seen one notification while playing of someone else picking one up. Im not necessarily saying a legendary engram should be a definite legendary item pull, but i think it should at least have the highest chance.
-
Because of RNG
-
The more I think about it, the less it makes sense -_-
-
Stretches out the grind, I suppose.
