In the MMO shooter Destiny, the Three of Coins will also be available in “The Rise of Iron.” Bungie has commented on this.
The Three of Coins are mysterious consumables that have been in the game since “The Taken King.” You can obtain them by successfully completing the Nightfall strike or by exchanging Strange Coins with the exotic vendor Xur.
If you use the coins, your chances of receiving an exotic engram from the next ultra-kill or from a completed Crucible match will increase. The effect is supposed to be stackable and will increase if the last “Three of Coins” usage was unsuccessful.
According to Scott Taylor, the executive producer of “Rise of Iron,” these items will also be available in the upcoming fall expansion of Destiny. Bungie is happy with the concept that the Guardians are always excitedly anticipating an exotic engram when they take down an ultra. They do not want to take that away from the players.
This is how the executive producer uses the Three of Coins
Although the Three of Coins have been in the game for a whole year now, no final success recipe has been found on how to use the coins effectively. At the launch of TTK, these items dropped too many exotics, which is why a patch was released shortly after. This addressed the Draksis farming method. Now, Guardians are still puzzled about whether there is a kind of cooldown after a successful use, how many coins should be used at once, or what wild rituals might be the most promising.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Taylor now gives a clear answer on how he does it. He only activates one coin at a time. And when asked if there is a cooldown timer, he says: No, there isn’t.
However, this statement contradicts a passionate study that some Guardians put together a few months ago. The result was: Yes, the Three of Coins have a cooldown, during which the chance of exotics is significantly lower. In a “speedrun,” you win an exotic roughly every 10 coins; if you use them more carefully, only about 5 coins are needed for an exotic.
We have already reported extensively on this “Three of Coins” study.
