Hey everyone! I’ve been trying to figure out what items I can actually get from Nonary Engrams and I’m getting confused by all the different sources online. Some sites say one thing, others say something completely different. I want to know the exact drop table for these engrams but I need reliable information. Has anyone managed to pull the actual data from the game’s API or database? I’m looking for a comprehensive breakdown of all possible rewards including weapons, armor, materials, and any other loot that can come from opening Nonary Engrams. It would be really helpful to see the complete list so I can decide if it’s worth farming these or if I should focus my time elsewhere. Thanks in advance for any help!
I spent a considerable amount of time researching this a while back due to the conflicting information available. I monitored my drops from about 200 engram openings while cross-referencing them with the game’s updated manifest files. What I found was that Nonary Engrams offer around 15-20 weapon types and roughly 12 armor pieces, along with various crafting materials and enhancement cores. The drop rates favor lower-tier items significantly, making the exotic ones quite rare. Keep in mind, the loot pool refreshes with content updates, so previous API data might not be reliable now. It could be beneficial to look directly at the game’s official manifest files if you’re familiar with them or check community databases that pull from those files frequently.
I actually pulled the current drop table data myself last month when I was working on a loot optimization project. The Nonary Engrams contain 23 different weapon variants across all categories, 16 armor pieces distributed among the three classes, plus consumables like upgrade modules and enhancement prisms. From my analysis of roughly 150 openings, the distribution heavily skews toward common materials at about 60% drop rate, with legendary gear sitting around 25% and exotics being extremely scarce at under 3%. The important thing to note is that the API endpoints get updated roughly every two weeks with seasonal content, so any cached data older than that becomes unreliable. I’d recommend checking the current manifest hash before relying on any extracted loot tables, as Bungie frequently adjusts these pools without announcing it in patch notes.
honestly the drop rates change so much that its kinda pointless to farm these anymore imo. i opened like 50 last week and got mostly junk materials with maybe 2-3 decent weapons. the api data gets messy too cause they dont always update it properly when they tweak stuff behind the scenes.
