I just did 37 legendary lost sectors and got 2 drops. That's 5.4%. Don't believe me? Check my play log. I played for nearly six hours for 2 drops, and only one of them has an ok roll. The other one isn't even as good as the one from collections.
The only reason I do these anymore is to get the new exotic each season, and that should be a guaranteed drop on your first completion with each character.

I mean at least it isn't as bad as farming for boots only to have them drop from a champion within the lost sector 20 runs later.

I’m probably at 50 runs looking for a splendor. I’ve gotten close to 20 exotics, but on the runs I don’t get an exotic, I end up with just vestiges off dread unless im full on that and then it’s zero anything. Kinda feels bad, but it’s whatever. I refuse to use a 46 stat from collections.

You don't understand that Lost Sectors are not something you farm. The point of them is so you get your exotic unlocked, and move on. For example: If I get Star Eaters Scales on my first run, there is no point of doing another 30 runs trying to get Star Eaters with better stats. Star Eaters is supposed to now be unlocked for me to aquire through World Drops or Collections instead. I don't get why people try to farm something that's not meant to be farmed and then cry. Every exotic I got was on my first run. I just did Lorley an hour or two ago and got it on my second run.

5 RepliesEdited by dstojkov: 7/5/2022 8:13:58 AMIt looks like there is a hard limit on how much exotic you can get per day .. it s around 4 for all characters So .. if you want to improve your chances Go straight to the lost sector and get 2 drops with one then change character for another 2 and that is it for the day Regards

What a coinsedence, i played 37 lost sectors to passed week back to back and got 7 exotics. Was going for Loreley but got it at the end with good stats (37th run) at 18:40 just before the reset when the armour changes from head's to something els. Got all my Exotic heads now but pfff 37 runs isnt fun to do, even when they take only 5 minutes per run. So i feel for you getting only 2 Exotics, hope you get better luck (RNG) next time.

Bungie should do one of two things. First. Add nightfall system drop in lost sectors. Killing all champions in sector on legend difficulty should give 50% chance to exotic drop. Killing all champions on master difficulty should give 100% drop chance. Second. Remove legend/master sectors and add new exotics as rewards in nightfall/competitive loot pool. Exotics that you dont own, should have higher drop chance. If you have every exotic, should drop chances must be from 20% to 100% depending on which difficulty you play and how many champions you defeated. For PvP, clean wins 5/0 and be to player in your team should rise chances as well to 100%. Also. If you didn't die in nightfall or do not have specific amount of deaths in nightfall/PvP match your chances should rise high stat armor to drop (high stat is 65+). Simple.

2 RepliesEdited by draycole: 7/4/2022 12:06:33 AMWhyd it take you 6 hours to do 37 legendary lost sectors? Also when you say you "got 2 drops" You mean only 2 of any exotic dropped in all 37 runs? Or do you mean only 2 exotics you wanted dropped in 37 runs?

Lorey was around 6ish completions. The most I had ever done, was around 8-9 runs to get Burning Steps. It's all RNG based.

The whole idea of farming lost sectors for exotic drops should be scrapped. Reintroduce glass needles and make those the drops from lost sectors. Having a dozen different exotics that could drop doesn’t offer any help if you’re trying to stay farm for one exotic roll

Yea it definitely needs a rework of some kind. They are super cool ideas but terrible odds make it not really worth it. Like for example, I only have the base 46 stat roll wormgods caress for the Titan. I would like, basically any other roll. Just want another pair. I’ll do master dungeon math to give bungie better drop rates. That’s a 33% chance of an exotic drop after a completion. The titans have 12 PAIRS OF EXOTIC GAUNTLETS. So that’s a 1/12 chance for my wormgods caress to drop at all. That makes the odds of me getting the the exotic I want to drop 33/1200 or 2.75%. Which honestly is better than I thought it would be when I started this math. But even rounding up to 3% it would still take 33 master lost sectors on average to get the exotic I want to drop. Needless to say I’m not doing it.

I agree. I took a break from farming the exotics each season. I now jump in trying to collect them all. I've been farming for hours on end. Sometimes it takes me 5-10 master runs to get a single piece. It's this bs grinder mentality that Bungo is trying to force on people. The last thing I want to do is farm boring lost sectors to get a chance at getting a trash roll exotic. The guaranteed/common loot from master and legend lost sectors are also garbage and not rewarding once soever

6 RepliesWell. Easy activity => low chances at good rewards. I cant see the issue there.

Dude I did 91 legend runs specifically looking for a good rolled Aeon Swift and not a single one dropped. I got 15 exotics. Each run took 2 mins or just over, but it sucks to do that many and not end up with what you want. There needs to be some bad luck protection put in place. If only you got say for example a 'lost sector spoil' for completion, and when you've acumulated 20 you could choose which armor piece to buy. System would be much like at the end of a raid with spoils of conquest

IMO master should be farmable with a fireteam as legendary is way to easy & gives 0 reason to do master

2 RepliesThis is what I've been talking about. You have a better chance getting the exotic you want from Master Nightfalls or Grandmaster Nightfalls, than doing Lost Sectors. The lost sectors are only there to get the exotics you DONT have yet. After that? Farming Lost Sectors is stupid
