Edit #3: Squeezing this in at the top here, if you have your number of Archon's Forge victories (in your record book), please post it here along with the number of weapons you've gotten from the Forge. I need the data.
The only thing I seem to get from Archon's Forge is armor (this happened literally only once), engrams, and class items (just about every other time). I had a group earlier today, and one person in my fireteam got a "But Not Forgotten" Sniper.
Now, I got nothing (except presumably a class item, or an Engram). The other person in the fireteam got nothing. The other three people in the Forge got nothing.
What gives?
We did two Perfected SIVA Offerings in a row, maybe even three, but I got nothing but crappy little friendship bracelets (facetious term for Warlock Bonds is facetious) and a pair of gloves.
The poll above should help me gather data that I (and maybe Bungie, if they decide to rebalance this) need. Please, leave a reply. Feel free to tell me what dropped for you as well. I won't get too salty, I promise.
Edit #1: Someone down below (pablogordon, I followed your suggestion, I'm giving you credit now) said to put this in, basically a PSA to all of you running with a fireteam.
[quote]1st) WALK, do not run/sprint/sparrow the hallway from the dais. You will almost always be the only one in the lobby if you go in there fast.
2nd) If you do no damage to the boss, you will not get any rewards. If you die, and the boss dies before you can get any damage in, you get nothing.
3rd) on the common and rare offerings, please for the lobby let the boss out of the clamshell so everyone can get loot....I see so many people working on adds and the boss is dead before the clamshell finishes opening on the two lower tier offerings.[/quote]
Now, according to Splicer Warden, you can run and jump into the forge, just don't sparrow in there. Otherwise there won't be any other players in the forge. Personally, I have made this mistake before, and it kind of explains a lot... The rest is self-explanatory. Maybe this can help you all.
Edit #2: I'm also seeing a few posts that some people were unaware that Archon's Forge drops weapons. This is a problem that needs to be solved.
Edit #4: Another question, has anyone acquired anything other than a special weapon? Or are they just [i]that rare?[/i]
Edit #5: I was unaware of the fact that the primaries that I thought the forge dropped came from Iron Banner. Sorry for the mix-up. Original question still stands.
Edit #6: Okay, so apparently you can get rewards without doing damage to the boss, so disregard a part of edit 1.

Seems like I've mostly gotten class items, but I've lost at least one fusion to postmaster overflow. Engrams are almost too generous in the Forge.
-
Why is it when i put in an offering i never get shit from the boss?
-
I've gotten one "But Not Forgotten" with a terrible rewards. This came from about 4-5 hours of play so... yeah.
-
I think I've done around 50-60 but I'm unsure of the exact number. My loot haul has been 3 snipers, 1 fusion, 1 helmet, and more class items than I can count.
-
i don't think i've ever gotten a weapon from there, definitely alot of class items and boots maybe another armor like a chest or helmet here and there
-
Ive done 60-70 Forge events in the last week or two and today I got my first weapon out of it. Saladins vigil. Although Ive got almost all of the pieces from the archons forge exclusive set for titans. (Stellar Impact) I just need the helmet and I'll have the entire set.
-
I have literally gotten like 15 warlock bonds and a warlock helm (that i dismantled, cause meh). Didn't even know it dropped weapons.
-
6 RepliesDrops seem to be maxing out at 365 unless they are marks which are around 370-371. Exotic drops seem to have stooped completely as I can't get any to drop in any area. Hopefully IB will be good to me and get me past the 369LL I seem to be stuck on.
-
I got both the sniper and the fusion in basically one session (multiple offerings). Since then just class items. Not sure how many times I've run it can't be over 30 though. So seeing some people's lack of success on getting the weapons I guess i was just extremely lucky.
-
2 Repliesthe only time I really play AF is to get tyras artifact token, to easily get my noble deeds finished for the week
-
So far I've gotten quite a few snipers and one fusion rifle (Saladin's Vigil) for weapons.
-
Since they have upped the frequency of the offering drops. And made it so we are guaranteed a drop for finishing a quarantine patrol mission. I havent minded the low frequency of the drops. Even though, i get 3 class items to 1 of any other item drop.
-
I didn't even know there was a sniper you can get from Archon's Forge.
-
In 55 completions - a ton of class items, a couple helmets and chest armor - no weapons. Heck - I hooked up with a couple players over the weekend and one person got 2 snipers in a span of 30 minutes. Unless something changes to 1) matchmaking; 2) being able to hold more than [b]1[/b] offering; and 3) a better reward system - I'm done with AF.
-
2 RepliesI'm getting weapons and class items, but a lot of them are capping at 365 instead of 370+ despite me being on my 380 character when doing them.
-
51 runs, no weapon.
-
4 armor, 3 weapons and probably 10 or so class items.
-
I was in there a few days ago. Random people showed up, 6 of us. We spent over 2 hrs in there. I got a good mix of everything.
-
Can someone do archons forge with me? I don't have any offerings.
-
I've done at least 100+ of them and have only gotten one gun, which was the fusion rifle. All I want is that sniper. Meanwhile my friends has gotten 5 snipers
-
Got the sniper & fusion twice. I usually go and run it for about 45 minutes everyday.
-
I've gotten salads fusion rifle on two separate accounts already but the rest is an abundance of class items
-
Stacks of Bonds, mostly 1 level bellow the level I'm wearing! I have had the fusion though so I'm happy.
