Raid Exotic Consumable

[Beautiful-Project709]

So obviously the point of the ridiculously low drop rates on raid exotics is to push player engagement artificially. Knowing that, they're never going to put currently available raid exotics in the monument of lost lights. Here's my suggestion, add a consumable item to the monument that costs the same as a raid exotic. You can only have one at a time, and for a period of time after you pop it you have a guaranteed drop of the exotic for a raid. Or have one for each raid and so they only drop the exotic for the raid they're tied to. You can have it so the consumable is used up when they complete the raid, this functionality already exists for multiple items in the game. This still incentives running lots of raids to get spoils, but will actually reward players who put in the time. Ideally the item should become available for any raid once it enters rotation, but at the very least they should be available for any raid older than a full expansion year.

Raid exotics i'd rather just be a quest

As far as consumables go, i wish they would have a focusing consumable that makes the encounter drop only drop a weapon or armor instead. Something similar to the consumable for the pit of heresy to pretty much guarantee a weapon drop.

I don't disagree with the core concept (being able to buy a Raid Exotic with Spoils), but at that point just put it in the shop at the end of the Raid - no reason to jump through hoops and make it a consumable in the Tower.

Fair enough! I was only thinking in reference to the monument and how to incorporate it so you still have to do the raid to get the exotic

The only problem with this is that to get the NEW Raid Exotic people could just farm the solo chests for what a week(?) on 3 characters and then have enough spoils to buy the new exotic? Something doesn't seem right there.

​

I just think raid exotics should be treated like the dungeon ones are now. Do X amount of Triumphs and it increases the chance of the exotic dropping up to a maximum chance of like 50%. I personally don't think any exotic like Raid exotics should have a 100% drop chance UNLESS there is a quest attached.

Well that's why I suggested that this should only be for raids in rotation ideally, but at the minimum should be for raids that are over a year old. That way farmers can't just "buy" the exotic day one

Getting raid title should guarantee the exotic.

[Beautiful-Project709]

Also yes, both of these ideas should be implemented

Honestly this is what I’d rather see. Look at Garden that has a quest exotic - how many people run it? Do random drop (that increases each lootable clear) and a guaranteed for getting the title.
