Hello fellow Sinners,

I have been grinding for legendary items for the large majority of my time in destiny. After all my grinding I have recently found my favorite spot to farm for legendary engram drops. I figured I would make a post for all of you to make use of.
This is in my opinion the quickest, easiest, and most enjoyable way to get legendaries in Destiny.

See the video below as a demonstrations of how it all works:

There is a similar tutorial at the end of the video

Here are my steps on how to get the grinding set up and running:
  1. Recommended level 20. Minimum level ~9
    • Being level 20 significantly increases drop chances (Thanks BreakdowN)
  2. Start mission "The Dark Beyond" on the Moon
  3. Set to level 9 (Hard)
  4. Play through mission until you get to the "Temple of Crota"
  5. Stand in front of the door and kill as many enemy's as possible until you die
    • DO NOT KILL THE KNIGHTS (this will advance checkpoint)
      • If you kill the knights, stop and skip to step 7. Rejoining rolls you back to the door opening sequence so you can carry on farming.
  6. When you die you spawn back in front of the door (repeat)
  7. When your finished return to orbit - When coming back you can resume from the same spot!
    • When in orbit find the mission/difficulty then hit "x PS" or "A Xbox" to resume (Cheers s7_Phantom)

After watching the video and practicing myself here are my tips that optimize the farming experience.

Pro tips:
Shoot enemies coming through the doors (Don't worry about ones who flank you)
Deconstruct items when you need to by running away from the door briefly
Deliver engrams to cryptarch to level it up and get more legendary's/rares
Items dropped persist through death and will not disappear (Be careful of DC's)
Don't be scared of dying (it is faster if you die before the spawns slow down)

General helpful tips:
Use weapons you want to level
If maxed in one class switch to a subclass to level that
Solo grinding seems to yield best results​


Update: I am glad to see so many people are getting some legendary loot.
Remember that the loot system in the game is a RNG (random number generator) so it all really comes down to luck. Every enemy you kill, dice are being rolled.

From my understanding everything is based on a RNG (random number generator) so statistics are basically useless.
Having said that in just under a hour I got a legendary engram and several blue engrams. I do not recall the total drops that I deconstructed.

Cryptarch rank however does have an impact on getting legendary gear when decrypting it and leveling it is important.

Really? Mine is level 8 and I've gotten a good handful of legendary engrams and have gotten straight blues.

You should point out that you can restart the mission and start infront of door if you kill the knight.

- Go out to orbit and find the mission then hit "x"

Yeah, majority of the reason being that leveling the Cryptarch provides mail that contains legendary, and rare engrams like you said.
I am under the impression that leveling your Cryptarch also gives you higher chances of good decryption pieces. Again its just RNG and the more times you roll the higher your chances get...

Ill keep an eye out for any disappearing. Surely blues/purples wouldn't disappear as they would end up at the postmaster?

Nah, it just looks like they are. They move around or end up on top of each other. I thought the same thing at first, but I saw one roll onto another one when I shot a rocket.

I have seen that happen too. Perhaps that is what had happened :/
Would hate for someone to lose items following my tips!

Yeah I'm paying attention and that's what it is. No legendarys yet though, I ain't stopping till I get a few.

All drops disappears when i get killed, so the only whey to get them is by collecting them before I die.

did this for an hour no legendarys :frown:
It's all luck... One hour gave me three legendaries and the next gave me none.

Really? I'm not sure what is happening but perhaps your game is bugged. Everyone I play with doesn't have that problem :/

Got 1500 kills, but only managed to pick up 6 green engrams. Is this because my Cryptarch is only at level 1?

It's all a matter of luck. My Cryptarch is at 8 and I got 2 legendaries in an hour while a friend of level 12 Crypt got none and just a few Rare Engrams.

Luck.
