There is no hard data that shows the drop rate chance that 3 of Coins provides, but based on my experience so far, and reading a lot of Reddit and forum posts, the overall drop rate seems to somewhere between 1 in 5 and 1 in 10. If an Exotic Engram doesn’t drop, then there is a counter in the background that will keep increasing your chance the next time you use a 3 of Coins until an Exotic Engram does finally drop, in which you start the process over.
If an Exotic Engram drops, then the buff resets completely. When you kill an Ultra with the 3 of Coins buff active, the buff goes away no matter what. These will typically be Story Mission and Strike bosses. The way you tell an Ultra from normal Major is that they’ll have a skull next to their name, as well as the typical yellow bar. You don’t have to get the killing blow on the Ultra, you just need to participate in killing them. This buff stays active until you defeat an Ultra. Once you activate the 3 of Coins, you’ll see a buff icon showing a Roman Numeral 9 (IX) on your character screen.
This is very important, and you’ll understand why shortly. How 3 of Coins Worksįirst off, only use one 3 of Coins at a time.
The ultimate question however is, are they worth the effort, and the cost in Strange Coins? Let’s take a look at how they work before we decide that. Using the 3 of Coins, you can literally farm Exotic Engrams now, which is a big change from how Exotics were obtained in Year 1. They can be purchased from Xur in stacks of five for the price of seven Strange Coins. If you aren’t aware, the 3 of Coins is a new item that buffs your chances to get an Exotic Engram to drop, but only when you kill an Ultra (typically a Story Mission or Strike boss) while the buff is active. Ever since The Taken King launched for Destiny, I’ve seen quite a bit of confusion surrounding the new 3 of Coins item that Xur sells.
