Getting rubbish for my Astras!

[Sedmeister]

Just save scummed for about fifteen minutes. Feels like I'm getting terrible rubbish for the 3 hard earned Astras.

I kept getting refined quality mostly rather than advanced. And helmets, backpacks and blades. I got one gun (Tombstone) with lacerate but the other two were space adept and titanium.

Anyone getting anything good? I really wish they could narrow the randomness. For example, choosing between armour or a weapon. Or something.

You's getting anything good?

The op is about cashing them in. You cashed them in yet?

[lucg]

Nope, sorry ... ! I will try to keep them and take my chance when I will be able to pick multiple tries in a row ... .

Probably "crap" again, so ... !!!

How are others going redeeming their Astras? I'm using my level 125 character and am wondering if that might be why they seem so weak. I imagine getting one of the items for 3 Astras might seem pretty powerful when you're a level 6 or 7 character.

I just completed the initiation mission at level 8 and the reward from that mission is a full set of Trackers Alliance armor that was easily double the value of what I was wearing.

I have 3 Astras - I gave up trying to get anything good after like 20 minutes of F5 e F9

I DID get this tho... seems like a new "named" rare weapon... but I got this for 3 Astras

Oh. Yeah I can see where that is bust already if it aint level based loot and just random junk.

I received a Titanium Advanced Legendary Bridger for my first 3 Astras.

Not complaining yet.

I got the best ever Tombstone I've ever had:

I get a lot of bridgers for some reason. I don't like bridgers...

Facts….

The odds of getting a gold item worth using are around 1000 to 1, in my experience. I saved up close to 100 and save scummed grabbing a sackful of items and...
- consistently get melee weapons, which I don't use. If you like melee, you can do well here
- got a lot of armor pieces with very low DR score, making them useless
- got a lot of junk weapon types, like coach guns
- got very few good weapon types, like magsniper or beowulf or varruns.
- not all items were advanced/superior

between the low DR, melee, and bad base types, and bad modifiers (ooo.. bashing and space adept, gee thx!!) ... yea, its a very, very low chance of a 'win' (something you would actually use after level 60 or so where white advanceds beat out yellow junk all day long).

I have to agree to a point. I don't bother deliberately hunting Astras. But I do trade them in when I have enough. I've been finding into them all over.

[White Knight]

I was under the impression that 3 Astras got you a Legendary item? I've never once wanted anything I got from Stache though.
Astras for crap, crap for credits... credits are better than Astras.
