Drop rates in the Spire of the Watcher dungeon
All I have to say is that as far as I can tell the class armor for hunter has a lower drop rate than the dungeon exotic for some reason? Like, come on, I just want my hat without having to farm the second encounter for hours and hours at a time.
It provides no tangible gameplay benefits so why does it have a drastically lower drop rate than literally every other piece of armor in the dungeon? This just seems meanspirited.

ive run this thing 9 times and no cowboy hat and no exotic im loosing my sanity

I got the the cowboy hat for hunter, warlock and titan first time doing the dungeon

A month after original post and know one in my clan has the cowboy hat 🤔🤣 fyi some have stopped playing or farming this dungeon because of the drop rate🤬 thanks bungie 😎👍

Where is bungie at on this? Are we just supposed to be ok with this kind of -blam!- from every activity? drop rates are low, people complain. bungie adjust them or includes dupe protection. people have still wasted hours grinding for something that was basically impossible to get. Why can't we just get transparency and fair drop rates when new content drops. focus on making the content more fun, give it reasons to be replayed beyond artificially nerfing drop rates of the items people want. I'm so sick of bungie acting like they don't know what they're doing with this. how many times is it going to take to have this fixed at launch? it's not hard since the solution is the same every time. we know you can copy paste content since we've seen it happen the last 9 flipping seasons. how about copy pasting some drop rate improvements?

1 ReplyWait… people are getting weapons from the new dungeon? All I get is legs or arms. Period. I figure it’s because of those -blam!- fan blades. If you’ve gotten the hat, I salute you. I’m tired of trying to get anything useful from this -blam!- dungeon.

In the same boat, got everything except the yee haw hat and the scout rifle (The only 2 things I wanted)

3 RepliesThe cowboy hats all have the lowest drop rate (hunter cloak, helmets for locks/Titans) Clearly done on purpose because they're the most desirable cosmetic from the dungeon. Bungie and other developers always did this with helmets in the past as well. They would only drop from last raid bosses and had lowest drop rates

I have recieved 2 exotic bows and 0 hunter cloaks
-
I haven't received a weapon after 6 runs besides the exotic bow on my 4th.

I have only received the sidearm and grenade launcher and machine gun, but my first couple playthroughs only boots and gauntlets. My teammate has everything and I feel like booting him sometimes 😂
-
I got friggin lucky with drops this damn week. A machine gun with dragonfly/ volt shot and a sidearm with headstone/kill clip. Friggin awesome!
-
I got a Titan mark. I also got booted 4 times tonight. So we all got bored and split. None of us are getting anything but mostly blue stuff. It's not cool.

Edited by EnglishPete: 12/23/2022 4:44:33 PMI read an article on Forbes that said the drop chance for the class item was between 1 and 2%. Worse for the Hunter as it only drops from the Harpy chest and final boss.
-
We farmed the first two chests and honestly it should drop items you haven’t gotten yet. (Not the case) I don’t need another pair of boots or auto rifle! Afterwards, when you collected all the said pieces just randomize. The stats, as someone mentioned, on the armor pieces are horrible!

12 RepliesIt's sad the dungeon doesn't have a single good weapon. With Duality, we had storm chaser. It was god tier. Everybody wanted a god roll. It instantly became one of the best dps weapons in the game. Where is that with Spire? That's a big problem with Destiny. The loot is all mediocre so it makes you not even care about playing the game. Why run a new dungeon for loot that you won't even use since it's all mid tier? The dungeon itelf is boring to boot.

4 Replies16 full runs to get godrolls of scoutrifle and sidearm +full gear-set for my hunter. the hat fell as the last item..., yiiihaaa!!!🤓
-
7 Replieshonestly, the armor should have just been ornaments, then we can apply it to any gear we want. the stats on the armor is pretty low.
-
3 RepliesI was lucky enough to get that class item and all the other armor after a couple runs. The weapons on the other hand, I’ve gotten two hand canons to drop both the exact same roll two different runs. Same with the scout. The only thing I seem to get different rolls on have been the grenade launcher.

Edited by nonchalantone: 12/22/2022 11:57:10 PMIntentionally done to pad playtime stats, to impress their investors. Sad and pathetic. Real players and fans will play the game regardless. I understand they need to give players a reason to chase something, but a legendary item?? After they've had their fill, we will get the TWAB crap saying "While investigating drop rates in SOTW, we noticed they were "lower" than intended".......

Good to know it's just not me

1 ReplyI am the complete opposite I've only been getting armor and its driven me crazy I've gotten full sets cloak and all if we include the secret chests I wish armor was removed from the lootpool once you have a set.

4 RepliesSkill issue

2 RepliesLOL I dont see any statistic in your comment, go do 100 games and come back with data before commenting about a loot drop % .LOL

3 RepliesIf I remember correctly, somebody from Reddit did the rates’ math for the Hunter cloak and the other classes Helmets specifically and the drop rates were so heavily skewed against them that you were more likely to get the rest of the armor and the bow almost twice over before the hats dropped. This was done intentionally, no doubt, but I feel like the Warlock’s Tex Mechanica Wrath Trail set fits better imo. For me, the bow is a better goal to aim for so that the System of Want is less likely to to deprive you of that amor if you’re not focusing on it dead-set. That plus by the time you run Spire Master for the catalyst you may as well end up with the Hat on Artifice.
