Cryptarch Rank

Higher Cryptarch rank = Better Engram loot

44

Does not affect loot from Engrams

79

Does your Cryptarch (Rank, level) affect the chances of getting better items when you decrypt an engram you have gotten as a loot drop? Or is it just to MAYBE get better items you can buy from him. I certainly feel like I get more/better loot as the cryptarch rank has been increasing. (As of after achieving level 20+ on my character). Also on the Destinypedia it says under Cryptarch "Each time this meter fills completely, the Cryptarch's Rank increases by 1. The higher the number, the greater the Cryptarch's skill at unlocking any Encrypted Engrams the player brings to him" Can anyone Comfirm/Deny this? Or is it just a waste of time and I should be going for Vanguard marks (as an example) instead?

    • Cryptarch Rank dosen't exist. Read the description. Its the progress until the next reward. You can't level up Cryptarch and get better gear. There is only the progress until the next unlock.

    • It does nothing. Mine is at rank 30 and I still get the same blue and green crap, even from my legendary engrams. He still sells whites too, despite the description saying higher ranks unlock new engrams for sale.

    • The past three levels I haven't gotten legendary items from him. Had a sweet run of about five back at level 18-19 though, and before that got an exotic out of one. Seems a tad random to me.
