So I've played I believe 7-8 *350 Light Strikes and a Nightfall. And I have received ZERO of these so called Skeleton Keys. With friends I played with during these strikes only received one during that whole period of strikes. I don't know if my luck is just bad or if the drop rate is really low.
Edit: Thank you guys (and gals) for all the feedback!

Just imagine how easy it would be to hit 385 from strike specific rewards if skeleton keys dropped liked candy.. Bungie set the drop rate low for a reason. [spoiler]Grind, Get to Work Guardian[/spoiler]

You'll be lucky if you get one a day!😒

Bungie needs to tkae the skeleton keys out of the game. Right now , if you are above 365 strikes will hardly get you any higher because of how low the drop rate of those skeleton keys is. THE CRUCIBLE on the other hand is way better for leveling at that point because YOU DO NOT NEED NO DAMN KEY to get loot beyond the 365 mark. 1 crucublie match will take an average of 10 min with a chance at high light level gear EVERY MATCH! A strike will usually take around 20 min without increasing your light level except you get lucky and get a key and then get lucky again to drop something that will actually increase your lightlevel. It is not balanced.
-
I get 1 every 8-10 strikes
-
Agreed, skeleton keys are way too rare even though I get them every 10-15 strikes ...
-
I've been getting 1 every 10 strikes or so.
-
I've done about 3-4 level 350 strikes per night since ROI dropped. I received 1 key in that time (other than the 1 you get for completing the quest). The drop rate is horrible.
-
Ive got several, I thought they were selling often but now I have to ask, why can I get skeleton keys quickly but cant get a telesto?
-
They said the drop rate would be low for these. Did people not watch live streams?

Edited by GroutLine: 9/26/2016 9:33:56 PMWell I have one problem with the drop rate. What about us working people who work 50/60 hours a week plus family? I love gaming, and i love my family. So I'm torn. No life or no play.... I get they have to be able to stop the no lifers from farming non stop. But what about us people who can't put in 5/8 hours a day? I can't run trials which I enjoy because light level is enabled. For the next year. Or effectively run the raid for year because of my light level. What about giving a key or 2 a week at postmaster?
-
TBH I think it's fair. Under the old method you could farm the same strike over and over ad nauseam without seeing the item you wanted. The key method allows me to run any strike until i get the key and then go back to the strike (without entering the playlist) when I get the key. I just wish they would fix the perk rolls on strike specific items, that would be ideal.

Edited by EVIL VENOM: 9/26/2016 3:41:42 PMOne out of 4-5 strikes seems to be fair. The drop rate is extremely low now Did 12 strikes in a row last night didn't see not one.
-
Drop rate is supposed to be low, they're how you get some of the rarest guns, they're not just going to hand them out to you. I've done about 20-25 spread across all my characters and both heroic and non heroic strikes and I've only gotten two excluding the one you get from the quest. Not a big deal. What's the point in making the gear strike exclusive if just anyone can get it with their 1000+ skeleton keys? A little unrealistic imo
-
Yep, from what I'm hearing the drop rates suck, and then the drop rates from the chests themselves suck even worse. We've had zero improvement over the old system.
-
Skeleton keys are stupid and were made to increase grinding time. Stupid Bungie when will you learn.
-
I think that the drop rates are pretty high.
-
Haven't gotten a single one either... I had great luck with straight exclusive drops in TTK I hear there's a quest that gives one??? Is that true?
-
i literally played them all day yesterday heroics and got 1
-
I can get 3 keys but for some reason they only drop from undying mind, taniks, omnigul, everytime i play those ones i get a key but yeah it sucks -_-
-
They seem to drop more in 320 strike playlist
-
I agree.. One of Bungie's worst ideas. Just wait til marks become a issue as well.
-
I played heroic strikes all weekend and maybe had 3 keys the whole time. The 3oC did not yield anything that whole time but works pretty well on regular strikes. It's almost as if they don't want you to run them. Yet those 2 blues at the end is one of the only ways to level beyond 350 light, completely frustrating.
-
They have about the same droprate as 3oC and experiences will vary.
-
Bump. They need a higher drop rate! Only gotten 1 and that was from quest!
-
I have gotten 8...
