What is the drop rate for the Thorn quest? 12 bounties and still don't have it.

What exactly is the drop rate for the Thorn quest? It surely can't be that bad, as there have been multiple reports of people getting it almost straight away (first or second bounty). I've gone through all 3 characters, turned in 12 weekly bounties total over the past 24 hours, got no quest. I have the bugged Tower quest marker that is reported to be related to owning the Thorn in year 1, I honestly wonder if that had something to do with me not getting the quest. If it were up to me, there would be more than just 4 weekly quest, and the more the player turned in without getting the quest, the more likely they would be to get it next time. Regardless, it's really annoyed me that I won't be able to get Thorn in the first week. I imagine all the posts saying "Like this if you got thorn on day one", full of people thinking they're special in some way because they lucked out. I'll be honest, I worked my ass off doing all those bounties. Do you have any idea how annoying it is to find someone with shank and captain offerings? Some people don't even know you can actually check what enemy your offering summons. Half of the LFG posts say "I have offering" with no specification as to what kind of offering they have or what enemy they summon. You have to spend hours on a single bounty, finding allies (which takes forever), finding the SIVA offering for the right enemy (takes forever), and finally actually attempting the task set in the bounty (ridiculously easy). I'm not angry, I'm too tired to be angry. This was the first time I've ever had a full vault and postmaster, and I just spent ages sifting through everything, zipping back and forth between the previous two locations and the cryptarch. It's past midnight, I need a drink, a bite to eat, and some sleep. Goodnight everybody.

  • Hi, I'm starting to think something is bugged. I am now at 45 Shiro bounties completed, across 3 characters, and no Thorn quest. My friend who played yesterday on all 3 characters, got it 3 times, turning in 6 bounties. Surely there isn't this much RNG associated with being able to finish the RoI book?

  • 48 shiro bounties total. About 100 others. Still no frickin quest and everyone else has gotten it in my clan but me. Have made multiple requests to bungie, but it seems like they just ignore the community. Do not have year 1 thorn at all or the glitched marker and still no jagged purpose. WTF bungie fix your drop rates. I have been in multiple groups of people where they have gotten it to drop and been in random forge battles w randoms and they got it. So pissed right now. I just want it for the book and I am going to dismantle it when I get it cuz its not worth it. 16 shiro bounties on all 3 characters and nothing. That is all the bounties that you can do for shiro since roi has dropped. I hate this why can't they fix it. Don't even get me started on the level 25 exotic quests for factions cuz that no longer works and they never told anyone about it. So if you get it you will not be able to complete it and percentages stay at 0%. BUNGIE FIX YOUR SH**. NO ON CARES ABOUT HARD MODE FOR RAID RIGHT NOW WE CARE ABOUT ACTUALLY COMPLETING QUESTS AND TRYING TO BEAT NORMAL MODE RAID AND ACTUALLY GETTING STUFF TO DROP RANDOMLY AT A GOOD RATE NOT A GOD AWFUL ONE.

  • I'm starting to get pretty pissed as well. I'm 387 pushing 388 light I've crushed everything that is currently offered. Trying to complete my record book and the only thing I have left is that thorn quest. The worst part is, I was in chat with someone helping them with raid and they explained that they only have time to play once a week which is fine. They open a bounty and get jagged purpose and ask what is this? To be honest I lost it. Like the rest of you I have been grinding my ass off for it looking for something to accomplish until hard mode and a player that does not log many hours gets it on one drop? Why are some of these quests not purely skill based and completely rng. I honestly don't think it's right that the more devoted you are to the game the less you get in return. I just love having my characters and progression being blocked by an RNG curtain.
