Speaker Emblems Do Work

[Bumblebee Newly]

So it took a little bit of digging and finding but here it is for those who believe that the Emblems the speaker sells. They do work Destiny just didn't want them known. Here is the list:

Emblems:
Blessing of IV - Higher drop chance from enemies on Mars (Cabal)
Blessing of the Ancients - Higher drop chance from Majors or Ultras
Blessing of the Gifted - Higher drop rate/cryptarch conversion chance
Blessing of the Joined - Higher drop chance when in a group
Blessing of the Knight - Higher drop chance from Hive
Blessing of the Sentinel - Higher drop chance from Vex
Blessing of the Skeptic - Higher loot chance on end game rolls
Blessing of the Speaker - Higher drop chance the higher Light level you are
Blessing of the Unmade - Chance for more drops from chests
Blessing of the Watcher - Higher chance of loot from end game rolls and chests
Blessing of the Zealot - Higher drop chance from The Fallen
Blessing of Worlds - Chance of more materials looted

Each emblem is specialized to something specific so that you would spend your Motes of light.

Hey man enjoyed playing with you and Covie last night. I have been looking into this as well based off you talking about this in game last night. I came across a webpage on Bungie talking about this specifically.

"No Emblem that The Speaker sells for motes has any buff associated with drops from it. I was told (word of mouth) this by a Bungie Dev as well as Destinynews.net received the same off the record statement. http://destinynews.net/secret-bonuses-emblems/
Thanks to all those who believed! I wish there was more to them, but it is nothing more than cosmetic. Those wanting proof confirmation, i will try to get a written statement of some kind but word of mouth is the best response that destinynews and myself received... so, with that said.... any room for conspiracy!!!???"

So with that being said, maybe they are told to keep it quite or it is a pure coincidence that with these "blessings" you get better stuff.

This also has some testing results of each blessing with mixed results, some good some not. But wither way I got the skeptic one last night based off your suggestion, and I will be on tonight in hopes of getting better items.
