  • It's working as intended... Sadly. I did all three swords on one character at the same time. It sucked. But it's not as bad as it seems. Easily accomplished with time. And let's be honest. It's not that much different from when we had to farm mats in year one. All those laps around the map to get enough relic iron to lvl up a weapon. That was far worse.

  • I literally did this part of the Quest yesterday with the Solar version. It took me 30-45 minutes to get all 10. Get a Ghost with a Relic Iron Sensor (if you don't have one, get one from the Speaker, Shaxx or Vanguard) and scour Patrol alternating between 3 sections of the map.

    • It is a lot easier with a ghost and nightstalker with keen scout as you can see them on the radar to make it faster, also if you use a ghost and zoom in with a sniper you can see them much farther away.

    • Yes, the grind is horrible, but it's worth it for the swords! ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i]

      • I found that drop rates increased if I had more ability kills - also helps if you have ghost for specific material

      • Hey, Ugh I know right. That part of the quest was miserable. However, I would suggest posting this in the #Feedback forum as there is a higher chance your feedback may be seen there.

      • I'll never understand how the devs thought that farming materials for hours would be fun, especially after all the backlash from mat farming in year 1. Also things like trickle, really? And this week's CoE pairing melees with exposure. Who comes up with this stuff?

      • yep, it's random goes from 4 to 1 all the way up to 25 to 1 sometimes, usually it's around 10 to 1

      • Yeah, that void sword with Titan was the worst. But in the end, I had no issues with the drop rates. Yeah, it took forever, but the swords are special. Owning all 3 exotics made me feel more accomplished in the end

      • You could always do the void sword quest on your titan like I did. Now THAT is a grind!
