Three of Coins (3oC) questions
Hello Guardians =) I need some informations about 3oC and I hope, as always, in your help.
So, every week, if Xur doesn't bring anything of my interest, I usually buy 100 or more 3oC and I simply activate it everytime I can. When I kill an Ultra, 3oC get scaled and then I immediately replace it with another one. Easy. I active only 1 3oC.
Every day I try to do a sort of... uhm... "Ultra Rush"? I go in the Cosmodrome and I active the Execution Patrols trying to get the "Troll Patrol" or the Taken's Patrol to kill Falsek. Going around for The Divide I also usually kill Darnu that is pretty easy to get down. So I have 3 Ultra in a very small Area and that's good for me. Normally doing this I get an Exotic avery... 9-10 3oC but this is very realtive.
Now, in theese days I've played with other guys and they told me that 3oC has some sort of "hidden mecchanincs" like a cool-down of 10-15 minutes, a strange rapport of the number of Coins you spend and how many 3oC you buy ecc ecc. I really didn't get this... so... can someone please give me some explanation about?
Thanks!

The following is 100% factual, and exactly how 3oC works. Anything else is misinformation and baseless speculation. 3oC improves the chance of an exotic dropping upon the defeat of an ultra, or the completion of any non private match of Crucible. When one is burnt up, if no exotic was granted, the next 3oC used will increase your chances marginally further. And so on until an exotic drops. You should rely on luck over the increase chance provided though as it really is negligible. As soon as the exotic is dropped, it resets to the original drop chance bonus provided from 3oC, and there is NO cool down time at all. Never was, at any point. The best way to farm exotics is the Black Garden mission. You get 3 easy to kill bosses, and can reload the mission after killing them to spawn back at the same checkpoint. The most lucrative farming method however is strikes as you also get other high light drops, and horde chests to open. Depending on your needs, choose whichever of the two options is best for you.
