A happy surprise (Destiny)
So our Flawless Raider group had a couple of good runs through the Vault of Glass last night. We started off by running through the raid on Hard mode. I had already done a normal run earlier in the week, so this was another chance for me to snag some raid gear. I've been desperately wanting a Mythoclast since the first time I laid eyes on it.
The run itself went well. I got nothing but shards and energy from the various drops, but was hopeful as we got to Atheon. We took him down (with surprisingly little trouble) and I was rewarded with a Raid Helmet (Cool, but I already have 1) and a Timebreaker (also cool, but I already have 2).
Oh well. Another week, still nothing new.
Our group went on to do our Flawless Raider attempt for the night. Once again, we were very close. Made it all the way through with only a single death in the group. Afterwards I went back to the tower to convert a couple engrams. When I got there, I was surprised to see a message waiting for me at the post master. I was even more surprised when I opened it:
"Is that what I think it is?" I thought to myself.
"YES IT IS!"
A Mythoclast AND Atheon's Epilogue (which I already have, but I'm happy to get another for my Hunter). Best drop ever? Best drop ever.
Even through my excitement, I was puzzled. Then I remembered: I hadn't completed my Normal run earlier in the week. The group I was with got up to Atheon but didn't beat him. So when we did our Hard run earlier last night, I was given a double drop at the end. I guess it just doesn't show you the double drop during the raid.
Totally made my night :)
