The moon is the only place to get it. The starting area where you begin a patrol is great for farming it. If others are doing it just follow them around.

Stick in the starting area. There's enough helium there. Then leave the area a little bit and come back. That should reset the helium drops. Repeat.
Exactly what Grimmy said. Just hit all the caves and buildings for chests. There will be random spawns just laying around. When it goes dry move up to the next area for the same thing and then back. I got about 30 in an hour. Although that is pretty lucky. But while you're doing that Public Events start up so those are a nice distraction as well.
The exotic helmet I got I purchased the engram from Xur and the exotic weapon bounty I'm working on I received from the Cryptarch. So there are other ways beyond Raids.
I'm the same i haven't had a legendary engram yet, well i got one in the mail from grinding the hell out of the bounties but of course it turned out to be a blue item (pre-patch)
Is there some trick i'm missing? I've got nearly 40 hours on my character and no legendary, exotics or nothing. I did the farming out the cave which produced nothing, i grind the hell out of strikes which is really getting repetitive. I like the game in small doses because the gunplay feels so satisfying, but when i see people lesser levels and lesser playtime getting all this cool gear and i still stuck with rare gear it just kicks me round a bit.
I got two legendary engrams last night and both were for a class I'm not playing with. I don't understand why Destiny hates me so much.
I'm still waiting for a legendary drop I can use myself, mine have been for other classes. I've got all my legendary gear from strike rewards...
From what I have read it was an awesome weapon but Bungie is nerfing it with the patch today, supposedly people complained it was too powerful in multiplayer, I can't say for sure since I have never used it but people were upset about them changing it's perks on the bungie forum yesterday. Either way it will still be cooler than any weapon I have, the game refuses to give me anything legendary and I am almost level 26 now.
Do you know what changes are being made to the weapon? I never used it so any change won’t impact me since I have no experience with it. And I’m still a ways off from unlocking it. Plus, I don’t play much multiplayer in this game. Not until I get a legendary or exotic primary weapon. I did try some multi over the weekend to see how effective the Ice Breaker sniper rifle is after I purchased it from Xur. Yeah, that weapon needs to be toned down. But as long as the Pocket Infinity remains useful for PvE I’ll be happy with it.
Is the nerfing of guns exclusive to MP or do the stat changes carry over to PvE too?

So, I go to the Tower to turn in a bounty which will get me to vanguard level 3 so I can purchase a legendary primary weapon. When I did that the postmaster had a package for me and it turned out to be a legendary scout rifle. This game likes to mess with me.
Unlocked the pocket infinity. Now the long journey to upgrade it.

I've never ever received a legendary armor drop.
I'm a lvl 27 (almost lvl2
and have only gotten 1 legendary and it turned out to be rare. And only 1 rare I have gotten has turned out be a legendary (a weapon I have never used).I would be thrilled to get some legendary armor for ascendant shards considering in the 2 raids I did I only got 6 shards and zero legendary armor.
I'm convinced this game hates me.
I'm right with you. I'm level 27 and I've only had one legendary drop. The other legendary gear I have came from that queen bounty thing. That or I bought it. Well guess that's not 100% true. I've gotten three legendary drops for.classes that I don't play.I've never ever received a legendary armor drop.

I was in a party where a guy lost it after getting the same thing.
Didn't help we were ROFL @ him.
Finally got a legendary item!!! First since I hit lvl 20 and it was from a rare engram ta boot! The loot system in this game blows...
