Why do I get lvl 78 exo from 4x80 rares in MF
At some point last year they increased the loot tables for mystic forge drops by doing this they basically allowed 80’s to return lower levels.
What makes it junk?
cause rngesus is messing with you. seriously though its all rng. it happens
I thought if you put in 4 x level 80 rare items you have a chance of either getting another level 80 rare or a level 80 exotic.
3 times today I’ve gotten level 78 exotics from a 4 × 80 rare combine of similar items (i.e. all weapons or all armor).
Why am I throwing away my stuff for level 78 junk?
- They changed to loot tables so that there would be a great variety of results. Initially, the average value was about the same, since a lot of the skins were still low-supply on the TP.
- Despite the chance of L75-79 results, the chances of named exotics (including precursors) has stayed the same.
If you do the math & statistics, it turns out that tossing sellable exotics into the mystic forge is a money loser (unless you are doing it on an industrial scale and even then, you have to be careful what you toss in). On the other hand, if you are throwing in non-salvageable, bound exotics. Since those have no other value, getting even L75-79 exotics is a bonus.

The reason for this was to increase the number of skins you could obtain via the Mystic Forge without negatively impacting your ability to forge for an upgrade to an Exotic (or get a precursor).
