I'm not sure if this thread has been created yet or not; however, this information needs to be shared.
There are FAR too many posts of people saying they used 10 coins, 7 coins, 5 coins, at once and got nothing...
They don't stack like that. They stack by giving you a higher chance everytime you use a Three of Coin, and don't get an engram from the kill. It's in the update people, that's exactly what it says.
So, everytime you get nothing, the next 3 of coins has a higher chance of dropping an exotic engram
You are wasting them by using multiple at once. It provides no benefit at all. Use one at a time, please bump this to stop people from wasting them away!
Just trying to help!!
Edit: until confirmed by Bungie, it is possible that by using numerous coins you can get an even higher rate; however, the information wasn't presented to us in this way, leading me to PERSONALLY believe that this is not the case. You are obviously open to generating your own opinions on the matter.
Edit 2: for those that don't know:
you use a three of coins as a consumable. Once used it will be active until you kill an ultra (yellow bar with a skull).
Once said ultra has been eliminated, you have officially used the three of coins. In order to get another buff you will need to consume another three of coins prior to killing the next ultra.
As said above: If an exotic engram did not drop on the first three of coins you used; that means, that the following three of coins consumed will have an even higher chance. And so on and so forth until an exotic drops. Once it does, this chance will be reset, and you begin the process again.
Edit 3: I just used 55 coins; one at a time, running the eye of the gatelord mission and dropped:
Suros
Crest of Alpha x 3 (two Hunter one Titan)
Mask of Third Man
The Last Word
Hereafter
Fourth Horseman
Knucklehead Radar
Sealed Akharmara (spell check)
Don't Touch Me
Edit 4: Since someone decided to nechro-bump this I figured I would update since the last time I posted damn near two months ago lol.
I have now used over 200 coins and have everything droppable (except testlo) and they've all dropped at 310 on multiple times, that's the reason I'm 308, as I've just infused the 20 ALPHA LUPI AND NUCKLEHEAD RADARS I'VE GOTTEN!!!!
Seriously though, I'm happy with my luck.
-
I always get a weapon that is 1 level above my currently equipped.
-
Talk about a waste of effort, I'm using 50-70 a week and keep getting 290 shit for a 308 character. Every 10-12 coins I get one and every 6-7 drops I get one 310 lol this is ridiculous
-
These coins never should have been introduced in the first place. Instead, just make the exotic drop rate fair! Stop selling us 'Chances' to get things, i'm sick of this gambling mentality bullshit from BUNGLE.

1 RespuestaI've used 25 and I got: That is everything

4 RespuestasWhen is everyone popping their coins?

3 RespuestasI have to say I LOVE THIS IDEA, it was just extremely poorly introduced into the game. It needs to be capped to a max of 1-5 exotics. The amount of coins you put forth should be directly linked in percentage chance. 1 coin = 1%-5%? What do you all think?
-
1 RespuestaImagine it as a pity system from Diablo 3 RoS, the more dice you roll with no luck? The higher your chance becomes next time until you get an exotic, then it resets.

13 RespuestasI used about 30ish coins and got 3x Last Word 1 Light Beyond Nemesis (already have) 1 Obsidian Mind (already have) 1 Telesto Do I just have really bad luck?

Editado por trazor0: 9/20/2015 4:04:48 PMLet's talk bad luck or destiny just hates me. I had 760 strange coins saved up and heard about this "exotic engram farming" figured hey I'll give it a go. Took 15 tries the get my first exotic engram my friends were getting one about every 5. I got pissed so I burned off 160ish of them on my warlock and got 12 engrams. 3 hawkmoon's 3 last word's 4 crest of alpha lupi's (for a hunter) 2 The stag helm's (which I already had that helm from an engram bought from xur) So for me butt--blam!--ungie saying they "fixed" the rng loot system and made it more intuitive I call bullshit. Edit: 4 hawkmoon's now

9 RespuestasI've gotten 5 invectives wtf! 3 last words! Then random armor pieces.

6 RespuestasHas anyone tried undying mind with the three coins yet?

2 RespuestasGuys between 3 strikes lastnight (with streak buff active) I got 3 exotics. Another guy I was with got 2, and the other guy got 1. USE THEM IN STRIKES. That buff made a massive difference in drop rate compared to running draksis where I used 20 coins for 2 exotics. I used 3 coins and got 3. 2 of them from the same strike (both shield brothers dropped one, lol). I hope you guys have the luck that I did. I just wish I hadn't wasted most of my coins on stupid helmet engrams that gave me year 1 290 junk I already had. I got screwed.

1 Respuestai keep getting arm engrams
-
I got ruin wings, jade rabbit, HELM of saint 14, and sealed ahamkara grasps all year 2!! only bought 25 "three of coins"
-
Got nine engrams 4 crest of alpha lupin (all hunter) and 4 knucklehead radar, and one fourth horseman :(
-
Used about 7 coins and no exotics dropped and got one legendary.. Am i doing something wrong?
-
I used 10 coins today and got 2 mask of third man, starfire protocol, the 4th horseman, and zhalo supercell. All hail rngesus.
-
Editado por Big Kahuna: 9/20/2015 7:54:23 PMExactly right. No one has yet to provide any good evidence that using more than one at a time provides any higher odds. I've seen a lot of people say they killed 20 ultras using 5 coins each time, and got the same exotic drop rate as the ones who used one. It "stacks" with each lack of an exotic drop after the kill, not by using more than one.
-
1 RespuestaI got pretty lucky, I used about 25 ToC and he dropped 2 primary engrams (one turned into Jade Rabbit, one turned into Zhalo) 1 secondary (turned into Invective) 1 helm (turned into Stag) 1 arm (turned into Immolation Fists) and 3 chests (all turned into Alhpa Lupi, lol) Blessed be RNGesus
-
I used about 150 coins(1 before each kill), got about 25-30 engrams and here's the kicker... 5x 4th Horseman 4x Invective 3x Monte Carlo 2x hawkmoon 1x The Last Word 1x Suros And some random gear pieces. This, while my little brother got the Supercell, Hereafter, and the new scout rifle while using roughly half the coins/engrams. Life aint fair I guess.
-
I got 10 exotic engrams from them. Do the scorge of winter mission. When you get the boss down to a little health shoot a rocket super close so you both die. Pop another three of coins and repeat. Almost taste like cheese. MMMMM
-
I went 0/8 and then used 2 at once and boss dropped 2 at once. Might be a glitch in there somewhere
-
3 RespuestasOkay, so I farmed about 20-30 3oC's with each class and I definitely notice a trend where I got more class specific items for each class I farmed and decrypted with. More Hunter items with Hunter. More Warlock items with Warlock, etc.. I got duplicates for each class too. More chest engrams than any other slot. Drop rate was pretty consistent across all 3 characters too. 1 exotic engram every 8-9 coins.
-
Editado por Spaceghost76: 9/20/2015 6:42:00 AMSeems like I have pretty good luck. Used 20 coins and got Telesto, Saint 14, Invective, HoPF. Absolutely love the Telesto, monster on PvP
-
1 RespuestaI used 30 lots of coins at the scourge farm last night and got 5 exotic engrams. I asked Rip Off Rahool to decrypt 1 at a time like all good guardians do... The Stag Hereafter Ruin Wings Plus 2 duplicates I'd got from Xur. I'll do it again this morning and see what the 3 of coins drop...
