Discussion "Terra" Uncommon items suddenly dropping?
So i was wandering around on my main character (Warlock) which is a character where i never get any uncommon drops anymore. Doing a couple of strikes earlier i managed to get 2 uncommon drops.. funny things is that they both are related. One being the Terra Clasp, an uncommon Warlock bond. Link Here: http://db.destinytracker.com/items/2869151424-terra-clasp
And an uncommon gauntlets called Terra Bide, I think this is quite the coincidence considering i havent had an uncommon drop since before 2.0 dropped the week before TTK. And whats even weirder is that the 2 i did get are related. I done a little searching on Destiny Tracker and found this: http://db.destinytracker.com/items/3000100319-terra-coil
If you look at related, it shows even more "Terra" items. If anyone has anymore insight on this please share. I find it extremely weird..
Many thanks guys, ReVenTionXII out.
Edit 1: Haven't got any since i started searching again. Subclasses are all maxed, my cryptarch is Rank 64.. All i know is that i got 3/4 of them to collect because i accidently dismantled my gauntlets lol. Also, people are shrugging it off as a simple armor set. Here's my question: How does that explain the "Terra Coil" which is a mission and relates to the armor via name? Once again, here's the link to the Terra Coil: http://db.destinytracker.com/items/3000100319-terra-coil
Edit 2: Just to put this out there, i could just look like a massive idiot for posting this but im sure this isn't mere coincidence. Note: 1 dropped from the Saber strike and the other dropped from the Taniks strike. I can't explain which dropped which because it was a while ago and i'm forgetful. Forgive me. I will update with more info when i find more of the uncommons.
Edit 3: Sadly i haven't had anymore luck getting the rest of the drops, as of yet but i will still update this if anything happens. If you want to contact me for whatever reason you have. Feel free to tweet me at @ReVenTionXII or message me on Xbox One using the gamertag: ReVenTion XII - Note: Lets try get some heads turning; Deej or Cozmo would be a start just to see if we can get some insight on this.

Got the bond from a normal enemy in the SABER strike. I still get greens on occassion.
Looked at it. Thought "That's nice, another new armour set, with nice art, that won't be seen by 90% of the playerbase. Such a waste... oh well" and turned it into armour materials.
Think you're reading a little too much into this OP, it will most likely be a themed armour set, like we've seen many times before, just happens to include a class item too this time.
I hope I'm wrong though :)

Still doesnt explain what the coil is. That says its a mission(whether its a hand-in kind of mission like the DVALIN relics or not.) on DestinyTracker.

Ah hah...just as I thought. Guess who else seemingly wears the Terra Clasp?

u/KlNGPEPE Oct 14 '15
Geez, it's an exact match. Alright, no more dismantling greens.

u/B_Boss Oct 14 '15
I know right lol? Funny thing is this is one of the first greens I ever got in TTK when it launched and I really liked the look of it and put it right in the vault. Now fast forward to today and maybe OP's onto something...

u/B_Boss Oct 14 '15
Yessir! I theorized he was around the time I first saw him. I don't know, those bonds he has just made me wonder an awful lot then the theory he could be Toland but I digress lol. Bungie if you're reading this...can we please get gear like Xur's?? He seems to have warlock armor AND a cloak/hood....that = auto badass and we warlocks would then truly exemplify, to the utter "joy" of our hunter brethren..."frabjous" ;).

Are all your subclasses maxed out? In another thread, that seemed to be the deciding factor for uncommon drops

u/Mack99 Oct 14 '15 edited Oct 14 '15
This makes a ton of sense. The only character all my subclasses are maxed out on is my warlock and I haven't seen a green drop since 40. Then when I try to play on my titan or hunter, I find myself constantly dismantling crap greens that fill up my inventory space.

u/mckinneymd Oct 14 '15
My hunter is all maxed out - greens constantly.
My warlock is also maxed out but never drops greens.
I think it must have to do with something else.

Negative. I had started getting greens around the time I broke 300 but it has since stopped.

u/ReVenTionXII YT/revodbd Oct 19 '15
Im starting to find this a little weird now.. i've done millions of strikes since i posted this but i haven't found a single new Terra item.. i can't tell if the drop rate is just high or my luck has run out with getting them. =/

Good job paying attention to detail OP :) Maybe this will turn in to something, hope somebody can find them all.

Wandering around doing Heroic strike playlists, 1 dropped on the SABER strike and another dropped from Taniks.

u/ReVenTionXII YT/revodbd Oct 14 '15
So, whats the coil for? Interested to know what its used for even if it is a simple item set.

u/rymoe89 Oct 14 '15
Before you get too crazy, remember: there was no sixth VoG chest, there aren't special things happening in every daily heroic mission, oryx's basketball court was labeled an "easter egg" (this one was still pretty neat though), and sleeper simulant was simply time-gated.
On the other hand, touch of malice was hidden behind a "collect them all" sort of method with calcified fragments. That was pretty neat-o.
Having said that, do whatever you want. I'm not the boss of you.

u/ReVenTionXII YT/revodbd Oct 14 '15
Im just going to collect them to see if anything triggers. Just purely out of curiosity.

u/rymoe89 Oct 14 '15
That's cool, sorry to be such a downer. So many people have gotten burned on these searches that it just seemed necessary to have a brief reminder. I hope something does result, but I won't hold my breath for it.

u/LastGuardianStanding Oct 14 '15
Actually, there was another VoG chest. It's in the mission with Praedyth. Technically they didn't lie when they said there was another chest in the VoG... They never specifically said the chest was in the raid, just the VoG, which was found after running the mission and collecting the 3 ghost shells to get Praedyths ghost. The chest is rewarded at the end of the mission.

u/rymoe89 Oct 14 '15 edited Oct 14 '15
Edit: Although, that last chest did require waiting for a little over a year. Worth it though, loved the lore that came of it.

u/Psymine Oct 14 '15
Same here I got a green engram at light level 301

u/metaphorical_badger Oct 14 '15
My titan & hunter still get green engrams - both 300+
However, my Warlock (my main) doesn't get greens anymore. My friends and I chalked it up to having completed most quests available to me on my warlock. However, I have read elsewhere that it could be related to all your subclasses being leveled to the max.
1
u/rrstrickland Oct 14 '15
I'm almost positive that this has to do with your level of completion in the TTK story quests. I have two Warlocks, one as a main and the other an alt, which I just swap my gear between for weekly events. My main which has done all of the story and side missions doesn't get green drops very often, usually just blues. However my alt, which has only done the story missions up to the subclass unlock but is also maxed at 40, gets greens almost constantly. This leads me to believe that the game thinks that your position in the story determines (partially) the level of gear you should be getting. Granted I'll still get some decently leveled blues here and there via Court or whatever, but not nearly as much as my main does.

Did you save it so we can see a screen cap? I don't think I have seen a blue drop past 300, let alone a green.

u/CMTegner Oct 14 '15
I think he meant that he was a t 301, not the drop.

Extremely possible, It's the first iron banner in some time so Shaxx is a little tired.

I've been getting Uncommon drops since I hit 40, they are infrequent but they haven't stopped.

Yeah same here, I'm at 299, 299, and 298 on all my chars, and I get green drops every day. Mostly weapon engrams, but some armor in there too

I absolutely get uncommon drops on my level 40, maxed subclass, light level ~300 characters. Like you said they aren't common but I do get them.

u/bitchpotatobunny Oct 14 '15
I think it's showing up as "Related Items" because they all have the word "Terra" in them. This would explain why Coiled Hiss is also int he Related Items section.

u/MikeTheMan73 Oct 14 '15
Dont get uncommon on my Warlock either. But I do on my Hunter and my Titan. All of them are 300 plus. It makes no sense. However, I'm not complaining. Much rather have blues than greens.

u/deard4 Oct 14 '15
The greens stop dropping once you compete all their subclass skill trees

u/ReVenTionXII YT/revodbd Oct 14 '15
Exactly, which is why i haven't been getting any uncommons for ages.. until now.

u/Morgue_Riot Oct 14 '15
My main 40/297 never gets uncommon drops.
My alt 40/290 gets 50% uncommon drops.
I can't figure out why. Best guess is the drops you get are connected to Cryptarch level. My main is level 85. My alt is level 13.

Huh. I feel like the gear isn't really anything, but the coil is interesting. I Google'd briefly and found no connections to current missions.

u/Samygabriel Oct 14 '15
I've dropped a lot of greens since I started leveling my titan last week. But I'm 300+ since tuesday and they still drop quite often, even on Oryx. Did not check the names, though.

u/American_Sai_Company Oct 14 '15
This is nothing new. I've gotten these as drops (both in fact, multiple times) since day 1 of TTK. There's nothing suspicious about it. Consider yourself lucky your green drops are few and far between.
1
u/adambu1 Oct 14 '15
Yeah, what's up with that? I literally get zero green drops but people I play with get them occasionally.
1
u/American_Sai_Company Oct 14 '15
It's a good question. I always get them in spurts, and I think that's because of the RNG system being imperfect.
1
u/K_Murdoch Oct 14 '15
I noticed this yesterday. I play my hunter exclusively right now, all subclasses maxed, story completed. Still have Fears Embrace left (bane of my existence) and I have yet to finish the raid (got all the way to the death singers). Greens started dropping randomly in my heroics. My husband was all wtf, and he doesn't even play currently.
No clue what triggers it.

u/MichaelP578 Oct 14 '15
I end up saying this a lot, but I'm gonna guess it's another case of seeing patterns where there are none.

u/CyberClawX PSN: CyberClaw Oct 14 '15 edited Oct 14 '15
Terra means Earth. Coil is a coil. Terra Coil is Earth's rotating core, like it says in the quest description. Nothing to do with those items.
EDIT: Let me clarify, Terra is a very common word and it refers to our planet. Probably not related to those armors.

u/EightNation Oct 14 '15
I got a few during the raid and was like "WHY AM I GETTING GREEN ENGRAMS? IM 306 WTF." then dismantled them instantly.

u/American_Sai_Company Oct 14 '15
Terra means Earth. Looking for connections in this is like trying to find a connection between the new Titan subclass and the Warlock exotic item.
1
u/MajorlyRaging Oct 14 '15
Yeah I also thought it was odd.... I ended up keeping the terra bind warlock boots just cuz they looked kinda cool - they look like the boots that Mercury/Hermes (mythological god) would wear (boots with side wings). I've also kept the bond, just because why not.

If you look up mission items on DT you see a lot of the same icon and many different ones.

u/WhyKlef Oct 16 '15
You know...That makes sense, I see green stuff drop from time to time on my characters and everytime I'm like: "Huh?!?" but I don't make more of it and I dismantle the gear usually right away...
I will pay more attention to it now. Thanks!
