The 1.0.2 patch will go live next week, and includes several changes to the Cryptarch and Engram experience. These changes guarantee that Engrams will always decode into items at or above the quality of an engram.

Only Engrams that drop after 1.0.2 are subject to this change.

Cryptarch Changes
Cayde-6 took the Cryptarch aside and showed him a sack of doorknobs. He decoded that mystery pretty quickly.
Legendary Engrams will always produce Legendary or better quality items, including Materials or Exotics
Rare Engrams will always produce Rare or better quality items
Rare engrams will have an increased chance to produce Legendary quality items

Activity Changes
Daily Heroics, Weekly Heroics, and Vanguard: Tiger Playlist activities will include Rare and Legendary Engrams in addition to their existing rewards

Item Changes
Ascendant materials have been promoted to Legendary to closer associate them with the gear they are used to upgrade
Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest--even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already...

lol at the joke at the and

Feels so good.

All quality changes, but why are they bothering? According to many here there is no problem with the games grind or progression.

Now they just need to loosen their grip on all of these progression limits they impose, and give us some of that content that they took out for future DLC so we don't play the same exact stuff over and over.

It's beyond retarded to get a Queens bounty to kill Sepkis Prime or whatever, complete it, turn it in, and redeem that mission token for a mission that turns out to be.. kill Sepkis Prime.

But again, quality changes here. Why they ever thought the random number generator for legendary engrams was a good idea is beyond me.

good deal

No doubt the drop rate for legendary engrams will become a lot less frequent.

I actually have virtually no idea what that sentence means.

Wrong thread... sorry.
