Hey guys! This is going to be a thread that will be changing as new information is filled into it, so the results you see aren't final.
I am going to be farming Fallen Chests in Skywatch. I will be doing this for 1 hour at a time, and recording how many Treasure Keys and Legendary Engrams I receive within the hour, as well as recording how many chests I was able to open.
This is for people who want to farm for chests, but want to know roughly how many keys or Engrams they are going to get.
As of now, these are only my personal results, but if you would like to contribute to the results, set a timer for 1 hour, and start it when the first set of Wolves appear in Skywatch. Keep farming until the timer goes off. Make sure to comment how many chests you opened, and how many Treasure Keys and Legendary Engrams you received within the hour.
Try to keep this post relevant by bumping. Thanks!

Edit - Holy h[b]e[/b]ll, 150 comments?? That's insane, Thanks guys!!
Edit 2 - Shoutout to Repel West for a fun farming session!
Edit 3 - We're on Highest Rated! \o/
Edit 4 - 200 COMMENT HYPEE
Edit 5 - With the new update that came out yesterday, chests can no longer be farmed more than once for more chances at keys. Because of this, I feel that I cannot continue putting results onto this post, simply because the results now would drastically differ from the pre-patch results.
I've decided to discontinue this post. Thank you to everyone who helped put this onto the highest rated page, for putting in 200 comments, and for the information that helped this thread tremendously.
Stay frosty, Guardians

Final bump

Very cool ... I'll be doing sonethjng simulator for the banner this upcoming week... I'll be on all day Tuesday and will give rewards per match along with kdr and win loss
-
5% key drop rate... Doesnt seem that way lol
-
Awesome time man!!
-
I love this. So helpful. I now know that I should just give up....
-
I farmed skywatch once and the chests stopped giving out engrams and ammo synths. For 3 chest straight i only got glimmer. Gave up after that.
-
I don't have statistics but i do have this... [spoiler][/spoiler]http://xboxclips.com/SI1V3RxSPARTAN/5b49271e-518b-4851-b155-31659cb72769[spoiler][/spoiler]

I farmed 2.5 hrs on venus. Probably 30 plus chests. No keys and no legendary engrams. So frustrating. I need a destiny break for a week or so.
-
I am seeing averages like this as well. I'm suspicious of people who are saying i farmed for five hours and no keys. Did you really farm that long or did it just "feel" like that long? I would guess the latter. I would also bet that if they kept track they would see averages similar to your data.
-
Those are such BS drop rates
-
Edited by edgeoftexas: 5/30/2015 12:45:10 AMWould you say that these percentages also reflect the chance of getting a key at lvl 28 poe?
-
I think there needs to be a more consistent way to get keys. I work and have an active social life. I don't have the time to farm keys...my Destiny time is spent actually doing the end game content. I don't even need multiple, 1 guaranteed key from the queen's favor package every reset would be enough for me prsonally.
-
Opened 1 chest. Got key. Farmed it. Got a legendary engram. Farmed again. Got another engram. Did ToO. Went flawless. Got Hawkmoon from chest. Best luck ever today?
-
1 hour, 23 chests, no key, 1 legendary engram
-
I got two from the same chest the other day I wasn't out to farm just happened across a guy starting one so figured I'd help him out... Just mentioning as I'd wondered myself if it was worth racing away to come back again...
-
hate them keys. farm for 4 hrs and got 1 key.
-
I think it's interesting that you go back to the wknd before HoW and all the posts by people saying they have 20 legendary engrams or 15 keys etc. I remember trying to point out some basic math and getting talked down on the forums. It's amazing the amount of total BS people will post here to inflate an imaginary épéen 15 keys and 20 engrams would require not sleeping the entire weekend
-
Bump. Key drop rate is bullshit
-
Hour 1. 2 Keys. Gonna say this as nicely as I can... -blam!- YOU. [spoiler]obviously not actually mad at you, just frustrated with bungies rng for keys. never gotten one from all my grinding[/spoiler]
-
I have gotten 25 keys so far, I farm with my buddies and get more keys than everyone combined????? Not sure why I keep getting them
-
Awesome dilligence,guardian! Will you be doing any of the other popular areas? Citadel for example?
-
7% make sense for my luck. Thx for the info.
-
Good work, drop rates seem very low to me.
-
Between 5-8% seems REALLY LOW but sits the most helpful info you can get on this
-
Helpful info
-
Farmed for 30 minutes last night and got 1 in skywatch. I think it was on the 2nd event. Chest spawned in a spot i could hit 3 times.
