51 Vanguard ROC Strikes, 3 Legendary Rewards, 120 Rare Rewards

Since the release of the Vanguard ROC strikes i’ve heard a lot of differing opinions on the frequency of legendary drops, so I thought i’d record my own drop history to compare. Given most speed run the strikes nowadays, I have only recorded the final rewards received at the end of the strike. I did not speed run so I did also receive drops during the strikes (roughly 60 rare engrams). I have not included these in the summary stats below. After 51 strikes I must admit that the Vanguard ROC really isn’t that great for farming legendaries. However, they are great for farming blue engrams for cryptarch points! The irony is that I received more legendaries from levelling up rewards from the cryptarch than I actually did from the Vanguard ROC strikes…..(e.g: http://youtu.be/X8cicz1CKag) Another observation: why do so many people afk....I think perhaps 5% of the strikes I did were with 3 active players. Poor form folks.. Final Rewards Summary: Rare Engrams: 70 Rare Weapon/Armour: 47 Legendaries: 3 Strange Coin: 4 Other: 7 The 3 legendaries were Aries Ascendant (Ship), Ticktock Inquisitor (Ship) and a Legendary Engram (Energies). I also had 3 of my blue engrams turn into legendary armour for other classes than the class I ran the strike on. ROC 1: The Devil's Lair - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 2: The Devil's Lair - 2 rare engrams, 1 rare weapon ROC 3: The Nexus - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 4: Winter's Run - 2 rare armour, 1 rare engram ROC 5: The Nexus - 1 rare engram, 2 rare armour ROC 6: The Summoning Pits - 2 rare engrams, 1 rare weapon ROC 7: The Nexus - 2 rare engrams ROC 8: 2 rare weapons, 2 rare engram ROC 9: The Devil's Lair - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 10: The Nexus - 2 rare engram, 1 rare weapon ROC 11: The Summoning Pits - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 12: Will of Crota - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 13: The Nexus - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 14: The Devil's Lair - 1 strange coin, 1 rare shader, 1 rare engram, 1 rare weapon ROC 15: The Nexus - 1 strange coin, 1 rare weapon, 1 rare engram ROC 16: The Devil's Lair - 2 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 17: Will of Crota - 1 rare weapon, 1 rare armour, 1 rare engram ROC 18: The Nexus - 1 rare weapon, 2 rare engram ROC 19: The Summoning Pits - 1 rare weapon, 1 rare shader, 1 rare engram ROC 20: The Devil's Lair - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 21: Winter's Run - Ticktock Inquisitor (Legendary Ship), 1 rare weapon, 2 rare engrams ROC 22: The Nexus - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 23: The Nexus - 1 rare shader, 1 rare armour, 1 rare engram ROC 24: The Nexus - 2 rare engrams ROC 25: The Summoning Pits - 1 strange coin, 1 rare armour ROC 26: The Nexus - 1 rare weapon, 1 rare armour, 1 rare engram ROC 27: The Devil's Lair - 1 rare armour, 1 rare engram ROC 28: Cerberus Vae III - 2 rare engrams ROC 29: Will of Crota - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 30: The Summoning Pits - 1 rare shader, 1 rare armour, 1 rare engram ROC 31: Winter's Run - Aries Ascendant (Legendary Ship), 1 rare shader, 2 rare engrams ROC 32: The Devil's Lair - 1 rare weapon, 1 rare armour, 1 rare engram ROC 33: The Nexus - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 34: The Nexus - 1 strange coin, 2 rare engram ROC 35: The Devil's Lair - 2 rare armour, 1 rare engram ROC 36: Will of Crota - 2 rare engram, 1 rare weapon ROC 37: The Nexus - 1 rare engram, 1 rare weapon ROC 38: The Summoning Pits - 2 rare engrams ROC 39: The Devil's Lair - 2 rare engrams ROC 40: The Nexus - 2 rare engrams, 1 rare weapon ROC 41: Winter's Run - 2 rare engrams, 1 rare armour ROC 42: Cerberus Vae III - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 43: Winter's Run - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 44: The Devil's Lair - 1 rare engram, 1 rare weapon ROC 45: Winter's Run - 1 mote of light, 1 rare armour, 1 rare engram ROC 46: The Devil's Lair - 2 rare engrams, 1 rare weapon ROC 47: The Nexus - 2 rare engrams ROC 48: The Summoning Pits - 1 rare shader, 2 rare engrams ROC 49: The Summoning Pits - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour ROC 50: The Nexus - 1 Legendary Engram, 1 rare engram ROC 51: Winter's Run - 1 rare engram, 1 rare armour

  • What's your crytarch rank? I get a lot of legendary on my old character and nothing on my new character.

    • These people who claim to have gotten 3/4 exotics are talking complete BS. Not to mention the legendary drops are not as often as people think. Sometime I get 3 strikes in a row of legendaries, then none for weeks. Id say his data is probably spot on for the average person minus the occassional exotic drop

      • I ran probably 20 today and got 3 legendary drops and one of my teammates also got 3 legendary drops. One of his turned into red death... I was pretty disappointed with my energy

      • Just finished up the 25 strikes for the Bad Juju bounty. Did not get a single legendary engram. Did get a legendary ship. And on the final ROC strike I got Mida Multi Tool. Rest was blue junk. Blue junk that seems to not ever turn into coins or motes anymore.

      • I posted a similar thread about drop rate on ROC strikes. It's dropped dramatically since Christmas. When the DLC came out I got at least a purple everyday, now? Nothing decent. Further evidence (if we needed it) that Bungie speeds up and slows down progression rates to play favour with their DLCs.

      • My results seem much higher than yours. Typically I'll run 20 strikes a day and receive 2 or 3 legendaries and 3 to 4 blues per round. This is rushing through. My shard to gear ratio is very close to 1/1.

        • The drop rates of legendaries and exotics are quite poor. I'd like to see them up the level to 30 with no modifiers so it would actually be a challenge (Roc at 26 is a joke) and have better drops!!! The weekly isn't enough cause that's about an hour of gameplay per character!

            When was the last time someone saw an Exotic drop from Roc? Haven't seen anyone get one in about a week and a half, they used to be far more frequent. Edit: There was a time in Roc strikes when every second completion you'd see a bright purple glint on the side of your screen. Ever since the holiday season ended, it's been a flood of blues, only to see a Legendary swim by occasionally.

            • There should be some kind of a mechanic that gives you a legendary if in x amount of strikes you haven't received any. Like if you've done 5 strikes and got nothing, on the 6th strike you're guaranteed of getting a random legendary engram. Makes no sense playing for three hours or more and get nothing else but rares, level up your crypatarch AND GET MORE BLUES AS A REWARD FROM POSTMASTER. Da f*ck is this bs system

              • Almost every single engram has turned into mats sence the xpac. My ledgendarys come from blues decrypting or in the mail from criptarch.

                reward is garbage and i do em a lot. you do receive legendary engrams more often than what you were in Tiger strikes but when you spend enough time to do 10 strikes and get jackshieeet.... no bueno.

              • When there's afk losers, I go to the final boss and get em down to a tic or two and just go hide and do stuff in the real world. You might say that doesn't get me anything, but I get a bunch of house stuff done and that stupid ass loser gets absolutely nothing for when they'd get shit for the hours they afk. I think they should have a faster auto kick going on.

                  • How often did u die and your fire team die? Me and 2 buddies did it 12 times there were two exotic drops and 12 legendary. We didn't die once in those 12 strikes.
