Drop chance of legendary items
Ok, im 450 hours in now and did all the "endgame content". Outpost rush, expeditions portal runs, Myrkgard chest farm, boss farm, Orichalcum mining aso.
Still I havent seen a single legendary item, ore, recipe, fish or whatever drop while others sell them by the dozens...
Have a full luck armor set and buff food.
I know that I am never lucky regarding drops in games but this seems odd. Have others similar experiences? Thx in advance.

Luck gear, jewelry, bags and trophies in 3 houses + Watermark at 590+?
otherwise the chances are low to get your legendaries

It really sounds like the Lords of RNG aren't your biggest fans. I'm sorry to hear this.

From what I have experienced myself, the legendary items seem to be tied to specific boss/elite named enemies. So unless you are farming a specific name enemy or boss, you will never see a legendary drop.

I have seen so often people post in chat after an outpost rush the shiny new 600 weapon they got while i never got better then green stuff.

I’m assuming their watermark is higher than yours.

Watermark and luck has no effect on OPR legendary rewards. You always have a very small chance to get it, but you can't make your chance bigger. If you want legendaries from fishing, you have to fish in hotspots.

My main hasn't hit 60 yet and I've already 3 legendary items, materials mind you.

Also the ptr is going to be featuring legendary weapon quests they're planning to implement.

People talking about legendaries talking actually about GS600 legendaries and not the common legendary equip like "Ill gotten gain", etc.
And legendary ressources are nothing special and actually very common from everywhere and needed to craft specific named weapons.

You're getting some stuff wrong.
the legendary quest line is about the GS580 weapons.... they were legendaries in alpha with a GS600, but for release got reduced to 580 and turned into purples. The questlines are just still called "legendary weapon quest".
And for the PTR they only added the questline for the Voidgauntlet... no more, no less.

Running Full luck gear/food and a minor trophy I seem to get pretty screwed also. I do get some crafting mats but it seem extremely rare compared to what I see some people get and i have no idea what Im doing wrong. As far as Gear goes Ive yet to see a Legendary but have not specifically camped a lot of end game bosses just killed many of them on End game elite zone clears.

I have gotten a few legendary schematics but they have come from supply crates.

the luck bonus in general is just another broken feature in this game
