What is the point of doing Public Events anymore? Normal or heroic, all I get is a little bit of glimmer and world material. I had been getting the occasional blue item from them, not that it helps any. But now I don't even get that. You would think heroic Public Events would grant decent gear?
Sorry if this is an old topic or has already been discussed. I am out of the loop with public events.

The point is for flashpoint completion

If you do heroic public events in the Tangled Shore, you get 2 Ghost Fragments (while normal PE only gives 1).

The other day I got a masterworked y1 armor piece which I quickly dismantled into 1 precious core.

Yeah! My ghost has a perk for increased PE loot drops. I consistently get blue weapons and armor along with about 25 extra glimmer. Whoever said PE were pointless obviously hasn’t been paying attention. [spoiler]sarcasm[/spoiler]

Just blues and the occasional Y1 legendary.

I still get exotics occasionally

A blue, planetary items, experience and the occasional legendary

[two blues and a planetary resource.]

2 tokens and a blue

Lol no
-
Yeah, all sorts of 380 crap and enough glimmer to cover my sparrow parking
-
I mean...I've gotten numerous Y1 MW weapons and some MW gear pieces from them. Just luck of the drop, really.

Since I do them with Fireteam medallion, I'd say at least 1 out of 10 PEs gives me something purple. If not from the chest (that's rare, if ever), then from boss or retinue. Most of the time it's just some Y1 stuff without perks. Could be masterworked, though. Also they can drop prime engram, but given how RNGod treats me, it probably will be same slot item with increment of 1, or it will have ridiculous perks. Or both. Currently I'm on five in row titan marks. Honestly, I'm doing PEs as source of radiant seeds for weapon frames, some of them are very quick and easy with Riskrunner (anything that involves Fallen). But that's it. Some could be daisy-chained, in case boss&retinue haven't dropped you more than 10 seeds. I prefer Winding Cove&Firebase Charon, as they occur one after another, the latter has either Either or Glimmer, so it's fairly easy.

999 times out of a 1000 its just blue garbage . Every once in a blue moon you get something worth keeping in your vault to look at lol

Enjoy.

2 hours ago I got a fully masterworked sword from a public event chest on IO
-
I still get exotics and legendaries from time to time.

You mean other than blue scrap?
