Question for all you VoG Veterans: How hard is it to get Raid Gear?

I've only ever ran the raid twice, one being the one I did this morning. I was hoping to get a raid helmet or chestpiece that would go perfectly with my maxed exotic helmet or chestpiece and my IB 30 gear. However all I got was ascendants and the sparrow, which I'm actually pretty happy with. I was really low on ascendants and I had some upgrades available, and I can't wait to try out the Sparrow (although I'll still probably still mainly use the stunt sparrow), and I can always just try again next week. But how hard is it exactly? Because I really want to get them ASAP so I can play Hard Mode, get mythoclast, max it, and be ready for Crota's End. Thanks for anyone who gets back to me!

  • Didn't read all the responses but you can only get helmet from hard raid. I got my hunters arms and chest the 2nd raid I did with him. On his 4th raid I got the same 2 pieces. Then I did IB to get the boots and of course as soon as I got the boots, my next raid the boots finally dropped for me. My titan, got r he chest piece 1st raid and the arms 2nd raid. Got the boots for him from IB as well directly after I got the arms from raid.

    Took 3 weeks to get a helm to drop, got 2-3 pieces for every slot during that time. Following week after (last week) I got 2 helms off atheon... I've just been getting sparrows recently... 5 in the last 2 weeks alone... WTB vex. Edit that's 5 weeks total up to now; raiding with 2 Titans. (10 raids).

  • It all depends on your luck. It took me a while to get all raid gear on my titan. My very next hard raid after receiving all pieces, I got all 4 pieces again.

  • The helmet only cones from hard mode. That being said I've gotten 2 pieces (chest and hands) in 6 or 7 runs.

  • All RNG man, my buddy got a full raid set after 2 normal raid runs. I got my full raid raid after my 42nd run, most of them being done on hard.

    • never do normal mode again and see your likeliness to obtain the rewards you seek skyrocket ….go ahead and take the training wheels off guardian...

    • It's all luck. I've run 3 and gotten 2 gloves and a pair of boots. My bf ran 6-7 and has everything but the helmet. Another friend has run 5 and has lots of raid guns but no armor.

    • Yeah, hard mode is incredibly rewarding. My first run with the titan I got the pieces of raid gear. Normal mode seems to be the fast track to chatterwhite and disappointment.

    • Hard mode is where it's at. Much better chances. Might take you 2-3 runs and it might take you 10....

    • Hit and miss. I was 29 for ever. Just needed to get those damn legs! Raid after raid then finally legs!!! I was pumped. Lol. Since then, I've gotten 3 more and a shit load of other gear. Kinda pisses me off. Keep grinding! But in two weeks you will want the new raid shit anyways.

    • How lucky are you? That's the real question.

    • Considering the system is completely random and contains shards and energy, chances are you'll be doing the raid for a while before you get a full set of raid gear. Not to mention that the helmet only drops from hard mode atheon.

        It's not hard to get raid gear. I do both normal and hard raid every week. What IS hard is to get the pieces that you actually NEED. I keep getting goddam gloves or boots every week, which I ALREADY HAVE!!! So due to Bungie's amazing RNG loot system, i'm stuck at 29 and completely at their mercy until the helm or chestpiece drops :(
