Xur and Engram Decodes
While I do find it frustrating for potential legendary engrams to be rare most of the time, to purchase an exotic engram from Xur as a hunter and it decode for a warlock is just wrong. It was not labeled as a warlock class item only, like other items, and to play and save up Motes of Light and Strange Coin to be given almost a bait and switch is just again wrong. I read the forum titled "I accidentally dismantled an item I wanted to keep, how do I get it back?", and I understand how many things cannot be reversed, especially because of player error, but I did not choose an item not for my class. While it is a minor issue in the grand scheme of the game, the excitement of my first exotic item was quickly dissipated.

3 RepliesLegendary and exotic armor output from any engram is for a random class. This is noted in the tooltip for any engram capable of producing these armor tiers. Engrams are a lottery system. You can put the item in the vault for use by an alt, or break it down for ascendant shards.

These kids need to go play Lego games! Get use to it people! Is everyone regarded? The more you play the more rewards you'll get! Simple!!

Legendary engrams will not produce rares after the patch.

When you take the engram to Master Rahool, the Cryptarch, and hover your selector over the engram, there is a Possible Contents section under the description. It reads: Possible Contents: Exotic (Random Class). Hopefully this helps. Engrams usually aren't the way to go, I would suggest waiting for Xur to bring the item you want, then spend all those Strange Coins you've been saving up.

1 ReplyAlso, legendary engrams can no longer be rare items. It was in the first or second patch.
