Three of Coin for Oct 25

Ran through 15 Three of Coins this weekend and received one exotic. It was a 310 Starfire chest piece for my Warlock but that still seems like an awful low return rate....1 in 15. I'll run through my last 10 tomarrow and see what happens but I think Bungie needs to do something 5o up the chances a little.

I can't imagine Bungie is going to change a thing for it. Its working pretty much as intended and it depresses the overall number of Strange Coins out there in circulation.

I pop 7 then go kill the Taken Zeolot's in patrol. Been getting an exotic drop every time. Sucks having to use 7 of them, but getting Year 2 Surous Regime was worth it.

How many times has this worked for you? I'd go in for 35 3oC on Friday if it got me 5 310 exotics..

I have only done it on 2 Zelot's, but it worked both times.

i've for some reason had mild success with the "3 of coins" im on average getting 2 out of every 5 i use. 

although i havent been buying or using any lately because i own a lot of exotics already and i dont think its going to give me anything new, probably mostly doubles

The going rate of success should be about 1 in 5 or 6.  Things average out over the long haul, so not seeing one in ten or fifteen isn't so terrible.  So, BK, how often are you popping these things? If you use one within the cooldown time of using a previous one, your chances go down (pretty sharply?)  I think they say the cooldown time is somewhere around 6 minutes, if that helps.

I've used them all during the level 36 strikes so I'm pretty sure I'm getting enough time for the cooldown.

I'm gonna run my last 5 tonight. I hope things turn around because I'd like some 310s to feed to my gear.

Are you to 300 yet? 310 stuff does not have a chance to drop until you are 300+ Light.

302. The one exotic I've gotten so far with the 20 3oC this week was a 310 Warlock Starfire chest piece. I got it while at 300.

Not quite.  I've seen some 310 stuff drop at lower light levels, but when you hit 311, everything's 310.

Well, the raid stuff drops at above 300, but until I reached 300 I didn't have any 300+ exotics drop.

Used three of my 3oC tonight and did get a 310 Last Word. Not exactly what I wanted but I'm just happy to receive something! I'll run the last two tomarrow and see what happens.

Running at 295 I got a 305 drop last week, oh wait, that was NF.  My exotic drops from 3 of coins are all 290.

Right.  That's because of your LL.

Received the arc auto rifle last night on my last 3oC bringing my total to 3 in 25 tries. In the long run I came out ahead as two were weapons and the third a chest piece. All three were 310 level. Fed the hand canon to my Hung Jury so it's at 307 now. I guess I'll end up buying more Friday as I really want a 310 Bad Juju and Suros the replace my 290ish versions.

I have never gotten a year two version of a year one exotic to drop at 310 (just my experience, yours may vary).

I had The Last Word drop at 310 the other night. I didn't want it so I fed it to my Hung Jury. I'd also like Truth to drop at 310, mine is still at 280.

Get the character turning them in to be at 311 or above.

But then I wouldn't be as excited about a 310 weapon ... curse you Destiny for always keeping me obsolete.
