I finally got a legendary from a match in Crucible, I brought to that dude in the city and he made a freakin blue! Bungie is trolling the hell out of us.
I'm not going to stop ya'll, but farming engrams has to be to most boring, and ineffective way to obtain legendary gear. It takes up too much time, and most of the time the Cryptarch will decode them either into ascendant materials or into an armor piece for another class (Hunter/Warlock/Titan). If you really want Legendary gear do strikes, do bounties, get Vanguard Marks, and rank up your Vanguard rep to get Legendary gear. But if you find this more effective that's you, but you should work hard for your gear so you can proudly say, "Yeah I worked my ass off for this shit." Not, "Yeah I farmed lots of hours to get this."
Farming lots of hours is hard work. What makes grinding Strikes any different than this? Does having a bullet sponge really add "difficulty"? The simple fact that you can easily get more Marks than you can even carry before you can even use them because EVERYTHING REQUIRES rank 2 or 3 in whatever faction you're buying from makes grinding those Strikes even more of a grind and unappealing. Not to mention you're capped on how many marks you can get each week, REQUIRING at least 2 weeks worth of Marks for any ONE weapon or Helmet. Farming may be boring and super grindy, but the simple fact that you're only really limited by how much time you want to put into it makes it worthwhile in the long run. Even if it's only supplementary to your Legendary Faction purchases.
FF7Niteblade I find simply playing the game like we're meant more rewarding. I got two Legendary engrams this week by simply doing what I usually do. In comparison to "farming" I only get two or three decoherent engrams every hour. Speaking of dechoerents I turned four or five of those into legendaries maybe six in my overall playing time just by simply playing the game like I was meant to.
Rocky Cadena Why is there only ever one way to play a game and everything else is "wrong" or "unintended"? For the most part, yes farming is virtually worthless at this point because of the constant patches to drop rates, but If I really feel like still playing Destiny after I've finished all my daily bounties and such, farming is a decent option. There's the chance for engrams, Glimmer, bonuses in the Grimiore... Or you could just farm chests.
FF7Niteblade Well the only downside to just simply playing the game is that the chances of getting an Exotic is slim to none whereas farming engrams you got a better chance of getting an Exotic out of a legendary. Kind of makes me sad :(
Farming is only good when you have rare armour/guns. Or when you are under level 20. If you are above level 20 I suggest that you do strikes,raids and bounties for your armour.
On patrol in Old Russia there is a door you can wait at to the left of the crashed space ship, the enemies just keep spawning wave after wave, each wave gets harder, buffering up your gun stats and gilmore cards, plus it wont effect your kd, i did this for about 20 mins and pulled in 4 blue engrams, also collect spinmetal every chance you get as you will need lots to upgrade legendary weapons
I subscribed to u when u had 20k subs n now u have 100k, u always put a lot of hard work in your videos and i really like that bout u, ur hard work has pain off, u kind of inspired me to start my own youtube channel!(not this one, this is my backup one) anyways i love ur content, keep it up
Literaly almost everyone I see complaining say that they never get legendary gear form legendary engrams, yet when I got my first and only 2 legendary engrams I got legendary gear from both of them.
Gonna give this a shot. Sitting at 24, on the cusp of 25 with 2 Vanguard pieces with my Titan. Trying to reach 26 so I can get into The Vault. Good thing I have the day off, I know how I'll be spending he next couple hours...lol.
I use the farming method on Earth with the hive spawning out of the cave. I got a Legendary drop and took it back to the Cryptarch and got another crappy blue gun but I levelled up my Cryptarch level and got another Legendary from the Postmaster. I took it to the Cryptarch and got an Exotic Rocket Launcher. The game made up for the first crappy gun :-).
hi i was wondering if you would post a gear and skills explanation for your warlock. as a fellow warlock looking to use sunsinger i really like to be able to recharge my grenades as fast as you do. i play on ps3 so i wont be able to see you in game unfortunately.
Just an FYI . . . you don't have to be above Cryptarch level 5 to get a legendary engram from him when you level up . . . I got one when I went from level 3 to 4.
I didn't use this trick but I was rep. grinding on Earth (new to Destiny here) and I just decided to randomly kill a few enemies before going back to orbit and got my first legendary engram from a vandal and got a legendary helmet out of it, it was pretty cool.
This is actually a very useful video. Very useful tip. I actually have quite a few coins, maybe 5 or 6. But as soon as I get the game, I'm gonna level up, and hopefully this tip will be very handy.
I go there and make sure I kill the enemies around it, but it doesnt work...I stand on the same spot but nothing spawns in the room you farm from :( any help?
May I just note everyone that yestrday (15th April) I got a rare engram at level 25 (May affect any level above 20) I went to the cryptarch to encrypt it. As I did I got a Legendary Weapon called "The Chance" Which is an FWC Handcannon. So if you do want a legendary weapon (Not sure of armor) You can either purchase it, find a drop or be lucky enough to get a rare engram that so happens to have what you're looking for. I was in FWC but I gave up since my Vanguard was more easier to do than FWC but I somehow got the weapon I wanted.
Honestly I just do strikes back to back. If you stick with a team for awhile y'all will naturally start running through the missions faster and you'll get at least 3 engrams per strike usually. I play till my inventory is full of blue engrams and then turn them all in at one time. Once I started doing this I naturally started to see more legendary gear just because I stopped wasting time going back n forth to the tower and doing crucible matches that didn't yield anything promising.
Keep at it bro :) loot farming for engrams is actually pointless when you've already got mostly everything. Only thing I can get to increase me is raid boots. Then I'll be level 30. Pretty pointless doing anything else tbh as I can't gain any rewards apart from nightfall, raid or xur.... Which is a negative and destiny hopefully will make better and more thins to do and more rewards. Maybe even something about the level system.
All of the legendary engrams i have ever taken to the cryptarch were "duds" they all gave my rares or a strange looking token/mote of light. I have really bad luck.
How did you get the sunsinger grenades? I'm on level 20 and still the abilities of sunsinger isn't working. Do you have to play on sunsinger to get the grenades?
How do you get Precision Kills? I do missions, etc, kill fallens, vex etc with headshots or stomach shots to get te yellow points, and when themission is done i never get a Precision Kill, never! Can you help me?
Great video but I do want to point on one mistake. You said you cant get Legendary items until you lvl 20+. I received my first (And currently only) legendary item at lvl 17. It was the Doctor Nope auto rifle. I had to hold on to it until twenty but I did have it.
It says that you chose level 6, but the Hive are level 20; do you have a bigger chance of drops with higher level Hive or no? Thanks for the vid though! I appreciate it!
Spent around an hour doing this, got around 2K kills total and a full inventory of uncommon engrams and one rare heavy weapon engram. Don't waste your time. Run the Vault.
Quantum Melts your level i believe affects the the ilvl....meaning at lvl 24 your gonna be getting lvl 20 items and rarely will you get anything lower than that...
I did this same part on my warlock level 27 and I didn't get anything but greens, am I doing something wrong? How can I get more blues and maybe some purples
I've been farming for days now and have yet to get any legendary. I'm a level 23 . Do I need to be higher level . My enemies are level 10 I think on the venus map
Does it matter what level you do it on? I'm a level 24, I did it on level 9 I think and seemed to get only green gear/ammo and pretty much nothing for the cryptarch, would the higher difficulty pay off better?
Does anyone know if this has been patched out yet? I'm lvl 24 and overtime I try this I maybe get 1 blue drop every hour, I don't get nearly the amount of engrams everyone else seems to.
2023 ??? I know this gane is old… but it’s the best game I ever ever played !
I just came back to it today
Do you guys know if the Fleming method he's referencing in this video still works in 2024?
Farming not Fleming sorry.

you got me 3 legandary's and 17 blues
Thank you
3 hours 22 mins
Max Cavill for getting legendary item? Yea
SurDex Gaming Does it still work?
TheGreenKnight doing it right now
Potato No, I tried it after I posted that comment and I didn't get anything...
Good method Brian. I think it's time I grabbed a few legendaries
On patrol in Old Russia there is a door you can wait at to the left of the crashed space ship, the enemies just keep spawning wave after wave, each wave gets harder, buffering up your gun stats and gilmore cards, plus it wont effect your kd, i did this for about 20 mins and pulled in 4 blue engrams, also collect spinmetal every chance you get as you will need lots to upgrade legendary weapons
Hey thanks for the video. Was really easy to watch and follow through with. Great radio voice!
Can not wait to try this out!!!! Awesome vid!
Does it matter if you up the difficulty? Like doing the level 9 story version versus the level 22 or level 24 story version?
How do i play the level 20+ version of this mission?
no it doesnt, the chance of the engrams dropping are the same no matter what difficulty
Michael Shoemar when you select the mission in orbit, click the box that shows the difficulty, and then choose level 20
all i see is normal and hard, and i am already level 21 btw.
it should say hard lvl 20, oh and it only works if you've already done the mission once
Damn dude ur channel is getting bigger... Good shit man keep up the good work
I did this many times but i did not get a single legendary, only a few rare engrams
I subscribed to u when u had 20k subs n now u have 100k, u always put a lot of hard work in your videos and i really like that bout u, ur hard work has pain off, u kind of inspired me to start my own youtube channel!(not this one, this is my backup one) anyways i love ur content, keep it up
This is also a great spot to get the Bounty for killing two at once with a fusion rifle. It was taking forever until I thought of this spot.
Thank you you helped me get 7 legendary in just 36 minutes your cool and encourage me to use Sun singer
Congratulations on 100k subscribers!
You are the best I did it for 1hr and got all legendary armour thank you so much
How convenient after 1 min of the video! I've been playing for weeks on end and NEVER had a legendary drop!
If you do happen to kill the knughts, you can go back to orbit and reload the mission. You start back at the temple.
Omg this is awesome i just did it for 30 minutes and i came from 1500 glimmer to 5500 glimmer, thanks!
Thanks for this video, I got a legendary engram and the troll (Cryptarch), gave me a legendary heavy machine gun.
If you want even more Glimmer while doing this you can use your Black Wax Idols. They give glimmer when killing Hive enemies.
changing the difficulty changes how strong the gear is that drops. Being a higher level grants higher odds of legendaries and rares
Literaly almost everyone I see complaining say that they never get legendary gear form legendary engrams, yet when I got my first and only 2 legendary engrams I got legendary gear from both of them.
Nothing is ever boring in the world of destiny it's just so much fun
Gonna give this a shot. Sitting at 24, on the cusp of 25 with 2 Vanguard pieces with my Titan. Trying to reach 26 so I can get into The Vault. Good thing I have the day off, I know how I'll be spending he next couple hours...lol.
Brian, do you commentate during or after your gameplay?
Good method man got the Thunderlord exotic machine gun thanks.
I use the farming method on Earth with the hive spawning out of the cave. I got a Legendary drop and took it back to the Cryptarch and got another crappy blue gun but I levelled up my Cryptarch level and got another Legendary from the Postmaster.

Supposedly having a legendary emblem raises the chance of LE and RE droppes we were researching but there was one video against it
This is actually a very useful video. Very useful tip. I actually have quite a few coins, maybe 5 or 6. But as soon as I get the game, I'm gonna level up, and hopefully this tip will be very handy.
It's patched now >.
Nice!
btw the new update changed that if you get a legendary engram it will be a legendary engram or above not below anymore :D Not just legendary all of em
so you dont kill the knight do you only kill the thralls and should there be a certain type of gun class we use?
Where can I find more GLIMMER enhancers? I think they are "seeds" or something that you consume to produce more glimmer?
Question : Why did your grenade recharge almost instantly? As a Hunter my grenade recharge very slow, so I guess this method won't do right?
It's the super for the sunsinger class for the warlock.
It makes the abilities stronger and gives it a fast cool down.
#sunsingerforlife
Nice video, think they fixed it with update today though, I hardly got any engrams.
what shader are you using
Good method for doing the Thorn bounty. Two birds one stone right?
The best farming is on earth, skywatch... :D
Is it that one loot cave where the fallen and hive fight alot?
Smart farm I have been looking at a lot of farming videos and this is probably the best one I've seen with decent loot
I go there and make sure I kill the enemies around it, but it doesnt work...I stand on the same spot but nothing spawns in the room you farm from :( any help?
oops wrong vid I meant this on new loot cave :P
Good video man, it helped me out a lot! I subbed :)
thanks brain
by the way your exotic armor you got from this farming?
May I just note everyone that yestrday (15th April) I got a rare engram at level 25 (May affect any level above 20) I went to the cryptarch to encrypt it. As I did I got a Legendary Weapon called "The Chance" Which is an FWC Handcannon.

I was in FWC but I gave up since my Vanguard was more easier to do than FWC but I somehow got the weapon I wanted.
What difficulty did you play?
I think I was roaming around somewhere. I recall mars.
Once u finish farming do u have to complete the stage before turning in the engrams or can you exit back to tower
Thanks sooo much for the tips. As a newbe to gaming and Destiny I find these really helpfull :)
How are your grenades recharging so fast? Please, I need to know!
2 1/2 hrs for 17/18 engrams? You could do 12/13 strikes in that time for more engrams, rep and a chance at an exotic drop
when you were farming what auto rifle were you using?
Can u do that on patrol also?
Hi, I wanted to know what level of history has the chapters where it is possible to get rare equipment. hello thanks
Your intro sounds like the theme from the original Driver for PS1. 👍
Honestly I just do strikes back to back. If you stick with a team for awhile y'all will naturally start running through the missions faster and you'll get at least 3 engrams per strike usually. I play till my inventory is full of blue engrams and then turn them all in at one time.

Keep at it bro :) loot farming for engrams is actually pointless when you've already got mostly everything. Only thing I can get to increase me is raid boots. Then I'll be level 30. Pretty pointless doing anything else tbh as I can't gain any rewards apart from nightfall, raid or xur.... Which is a negative and destiny hopefully will make better and more thins to do and more rewards. Maybe even something about the level system.
Which one is better the hunter or the One ur using
not sure why but the DO NOT KILL GUY is up in from now
Just work toward vanguard 2 and buy it. The 100 marks a week cap does suck though but can still get vanguard exp.
When you click on the lvl 6 story how did the enemies end up being lvl 20?
I'm assuming the higher the level the higher the difficulty should be set?
All of the legendary engrams i have ever taken to the cryptarch were "duds" they all gave my rares or a strange looking token/mote of light. I have really bad luck.
Playing it on harder will give modifier so there are more thralls, a good tip :D
How did you get the sunsinger grenades? I'm on level 20 and still the abilities of sunsinger isn't working. Do you have to play on sunsinger to get the grenades?
wow thanks for all the info. This was really helpful
Do we have to be invited to your destiny or can we just join it without an invite
Is this the only place you can do this at or is there other places like this you can do this at???
Thanks alot it helped i got two legendary engrams in two hours
I cant belive it still works I have got so many legendarys from this
How do you get Precision Kills? I do missions, etc, kill fallens, vex etc with headshots or stomach shots to get te yellow points, and when themission is done i never get a Precision Kill, never!
Can you help me?
Awesome now I'm level 28and have legendary and exotic big help bro
Great video but I do want to point on one mistake. You said you cant get Legendary items until you lvl 20+. I received my first (And currently only) legendary item at lvl 17.
It was the Doctor Nope auto rifle. I had to hold on to it until twenty but I did have it.
It says that you chose level 6, but the Hive are level 20; do you have a bigger chance of drops with higher level Hive or no?
Thanks for the vid though! I appreciate it!
Does this just give legendary armor engrams or does it also give you legendary weapon engrams too
What level are you at that point..? Also do you have to be level 20 before you can get rare to lengdary weapons
It sucks that i dont seem to find better gear the 200 damage gun and 150-200 armor my armor rating is 600 and i always find les than it
Spent around an hour doing this, got around 2K kills total and a full inventory of uncommon engrams and one rare heavy weapon engram. Don't waste your time. Run the Vault.
do you have to beat the story to unlock level 20 missions or do you just have to be level 20?
I did this method before but update make it nerf or less chance drop. Im mad lol i need some for other two characters.
Did this at lvl 22. Got 13 encoded, 5 decoherent, but no purple engrams. Will try it now at lvl 24. Hoping for an improvement.
PS4Trophies it dosent affect the type or amount?
Quantum Melts your level i believe affects the the ilvl....meaning at lvl 24 your gonna be getting lvl 20 items and rarely will you get anything lower than that...
+PS4Trophies but you get ledgendaries at lvl 20
I did this same part on my warlock level 27 and I didn't get anything but greens, am I doing something wrong? How can I get more blues and maybe some purples
You can also use a fusion rifle
I've been farming for days now and have yet to get any legendary. I'm a level 23 . Do I need to be higher level . My enemies are level 10 I think on the venus map
Just play the queens wrath. Gives you legendary armor every mission. Warning have to be level 24 or higher.
Still work since the loot drop patch of 09/22?
Does it matter what level you do it on? I'm a level 24, I did it on level 9 I think and seemed to get only green gear/ammo and pretty much nothing for the cryptarch, would the higher difficulty pay off better?
Do you need to have playstation plus to get legendary drops? I've not yet got on legendary and I've been at it for two loads
how do we get into ps4 clan not group i have invitation pending do u only accept certain people?
would bad juju be good for this since i wont have to reload, and does this still work?
How long do you have to do it until it works
do u have to be on a certain diffuculty or does it matter
Your grenade recharges so fast o.o
What the level of mission do you use ?
What level do ineed to be to het these legendary or other engrams?
Does anyone know if this has been patched out yet? I'm lvl 24 and overtime I try this I maybe get 1 blue drop every hour, I don't get nearly the amount of engrams everyone else seems to.
Can you still farm this location after yesterdays patch?
Inb4 i get a legendary after hours of farming and it turns into a green or its a different class. Here we go!
Im truely sorry but i really want to now how to get moré vanguard marks in publics eventos but i dont find someone ¿can you helo me pleas?
What level are you in the cryptarch?
What level do we have to set the mission at?
