IB Rewards--explain them to me, please.

So I'm curious as to how the rewards actually work here. The two Ironwreath-Ds I got at rank 2 show that they're not locked behind rank when it comes to a match reward. Is drop rate tied to rank, though? The higher rank I am, the more likely I'll get something? Because I have three characters I'm working on, but I don't think I'll be able to get enough Legendary Marks to purchase the pulse rifle and three sets of boots. From what I've seen, though, IB gear is as rare as any other legendary drop in Crucible. Bungie wants us to get them through match rewards though? By all means, everyone, please enlighten me. I want nice-looking gear that doesn't turn my characters into a monstrous creature visually, on all three of them, but scarce drop rates and high prices on gear makes me feel I'll have to sacrifice it to a single character. Currently at rank 3 on all of my characters, btw, if that'll help you figure out what kind of a gap I'm looking at.

  • Just an honest question, guys. Not like I'm complaining or anything, just want some explanation to it all...

    • I'm in spitting distance of rank 4, and haven't gotten a single IB-related reward. Within three matches, though, all five of my teammates had received the class item, and another later received the ironwreath, all at rank 2. The drops are RNG I guess.

    • It's not tied to rank. Just went all the way through rank 2 and got nothing. Others have gotten drops at rank 2.

    • I guess I could use this as my sounding board, since no one's listening or bothering. I'm wondering if the drop rate is somehow tied to the Tempering buff, so that rather than higher ranks, later days in the week have better drop rates...
