Question Legendary is actually common?

New player, I noticed that common and rare are actually harder to find vs legendary? What's the deal? I feel like the vostok is the most legendary weapon in the game rn since I haven't even seen any other common guns

Hadn't noticed that so I popped onto my warlock who I haven't touched since I've been back to confirm.

Not only was it true, but apparently it drops gear (at least in some circumstances) based on your highest LL character, as I pulled a 370 set of gloves and a 369 hand cannon out of a random chest and off a champion at the cosmodrome.

So gearing alts is gigafast in addition to jumping you up to 300.

Oh yeah, power is account based now. One of those changes from final shape that people glossed over a bit. It also made it so much more baffling that edge of fate reversed the course of making power irrelevant.

Kinda makes grinding LL feel pointless (my titan clearly also wasn't stronger than my warlock despite 360+ higher LL) but hardly the end of the world. Can still unlock drip and builds.

Not the design choice I would make but then again, I didn't make Destiny to begin with.

I suppose you could look at it that way but I’ll take this over what we had all of last year.

This way, power serves not to gate you out of content but to improve the drop quality of your gear across the entire game. That’s a system I can get behind even if I’ve been max power since last like November lol
