Advice. If you are farming the perfect roll on sniper, you want to stay in rank 3 as long as you can. Rank 2 for gaunlets. (I need int/dis with sniper or handcanon for my sniper gear set, until that I dont want to move to next rank) *each rank has its own loot, making almost impossible getting lower rank's loot on higher ranks. Ranks share loot table, so at rank 5, your chances to get drops from rank 2, are tiny little almost impossible.

  • This is completely incorrect. You don't stop receiving gear that starts dropping at rank 2 when you hit 3. As you rank up, more and more items are added to the loot table. Once you're rank 4, I believe you have a chance at all possible items for the week I've heard (but am not 100% sure) that once you're rank 5, your chances for drops improves. The best thing to do is hit rank 5 asap and then keep grinding. Also, the loot that drops is based off of the highest rank between all three characters. So when my Titan is rank 4, I can play with my hunter at rank 0 or 1 and still have a chance for weapons to drop.

    They share loot, so in the first post game slot you will have a chance of all ranks combined, in other word less chances for lower ranks. Look at my gear, I have the right perks and stats and burn on a full set, for EVERYTHING in my titan, include weapons, ghost, no mix up with raid or trial gear, just doing it the right way. Take my advice or not, I dont care, is up to you.

  • I get what you're saying, but it's not nearly impossible to get rank 2 items at rank 5. Everything has a pretty even chance. Yes, at higher ranks you can get weapons or the helmet instead of gauntlets, but you can still get gauntlets just as easily as the other items. How are you suggesting we stay at rank 2 as long as possible? Lose on purpose and quit any games we're about to win? Progression happens. Besides not turning in bounties, there's not much we can do to avoid leveling up. And trust me, gauntlets will still be dropping past rank 2. Probably more than the more desired items like weapons. Congrats on your good luck with RNG though.

    Is just bigger chances on rank 2, so far I have 12 arms already, in 2 days... just not the rolls I m looking for, for my second set (int,dis,void,sniper). Thanks, but more than RGN is about increassing your chances. I remember farming my chestplate, like over 20 chestplates until One dropped with the right roll, same for my shotgun XD

  • If I'm correct your other characters dont get the drop rate until you hit rank 5. You other characters also get a boost in xp leveling much faster. Rank 5 is the number you are looking for.

  • No, it doesn't have to be rank 5. Usually I start working on one character on Wednesday or Thursday. Sometimes by Friday night, I'll start doing bounties with my other characters once I've finished them with my first. If I'm already rank 3 or 4 with my first, my others are already getting drops from the very first match.

  • Do you have any proof to support this? It has been my experience that loot in IB is completely and utterly without rhyme or reason. I've played every single IB in the last year and haven't seen a specific pattern. Also Bungie has indicated that as you rank up your likelihood of getting rewards increases. So was curious where this idea comes from.

    About drops? My titan. The right perks, stats and burn (void) for my class on every single item, included weapons, gear, ghost, class item... just doind it this way. Once you get what you are looking for in that rank, then you rank up. If there is nothing you could need on the next rank, just jump and go straight to following rank. Rank 5 will be a mix up of everything (gaunlets, helmet, sniper, rocket, ghost, shader, ship) so less chances for specific farming. Edit. Prof? My defender titan... full IB set for void shotgun with int/strg (included ghost, titan mark, gear, and perfect roll for shotgun)

  • That is some of the best advise I have ever had in Destiny. I will get my lead character to rank 2 and not cash anything in until I have what I want and play alt characters before he makes rank 3. Then I will do it again on rank 3.

  • To add to that, once you have reached a certain level, all your characters are on the loot table from your highest leveled character. So if you need certain things from level 2 make sure all of your characters are at or below that level.

    Is this a really good way to do it? It sounds good, just curious how much it has helped people

  • Well I got my full set for shotgun/void/int/strenght (super+no back up plans) for my defender class that way on the second Iron banner, doing it this way. This time I m farming to complete my sniper/void/int/discipline Iron banner full set.

  • Keep the loot pool small.
