Oryx is more of a troll then his son... (Destiny)

Crota always dropped NLB/Dragons Breath for me. I think I went into HoW with ~40 exotic shards just because he never dropped the helmet or hand cannon for me, and those were what I really wanted. I never did get a sparrow drop from him.

Now I had the luck of getting invited by a friend into an amazing raid group, and pounded out 3 Oryx Challenge clears in 4 attempts, only to get 3 320 hand cannons with terrible rolls and 310 helmets.

Considering I already had a 320 Zouli's bane with good rolls from the last Oryx challenge, and needed 320 helmets, class items, arms or chest pieces, you would think I could walk away with something.

Sure, my MIDA and Ace of Spades are now 318, but I already had those guns. I don't really feel that my character advanced at all. It's a shame but the other drops were all 310-314 and went into secondary gear that I only use in PVP.

This is the downside of the random light level stuff. Lots of times you go away from the raid with no advancement. At least with etheric light it was a question of which item would be maxxed out for super fun times (i'm looking at you Fatebringer).
