2 Random Legendaries + Desired Purple used to ask for moonstone grind for chance at legendary with luneshine. This would also give you a good chance of getting a legendary in return.
Now, there is no option to include moonstones and the legendary return chance is very low now. I grinded this recipe multiple times over the weekend, I would say at least 15, never got a legendary back and the purple weapon it gave back was a lot of times worse than the one I put in the recipe.
That previous combination that you cited was a consequence of a hotfix to prevent the game from crashing while online and trying to grind three purples.
It was never intended to be a feature and was fixed in an update in March I believe.

the grind recipe of 2 legendaries and 1 purple is now a joke. I wouldn’t recommend this because you’re losing 2 legendaries. just save them until you can grind 3 legendaries.
I just realized I was confusing moonstone grinding 3 purples with the two legendary and a purple grind. You have to moonstone grind in order to make it guaranteed legendary.

moonstone grinding 2 legendaries and a purple is no longer an option. that’s why I posted this thread. I did that recipe at least 15 times and all it gave back was purples…and lousy ones to boot.
From previous conversations about Grinder issues it seemed like 360 players had the most problems. I’d submit a support ticket to Gearbox tech support and get this issue on their radar.
I have this issue but only in The Nexus, I only tried 3 grinds, 2 legendaries and one purple (since it wouldn’t let me moonshine in order for a luneshine bonus I didnt want to waste too many legendaries) but managed 1 legendary (the revolution pistol)
Concordia seemed fine though and since you confirmed new weapons in the Concordia grinder ill just stick to there.

did not realize that if you grind a DLC legendary there is no option for moonstone. I’m 99.9% sure that in my grinds with a purple, I was using a DLC legendary. if you’re using 2 non dlc legendaries and a purple, you should still have the moonstone option.
I ended up testing the grinder last night by performing 20 grinds with the exact same recipe and captured the results. Its not rare to get legendaries from what I found. it was close to 50% chance. I am trying for a perfect part revolution with jacobs or torgue sight w/cryo damage. I’ll load the images for your viewing enjoyment…

I think I’m going to try to change up the recipe for my next run. Going to test the DLC2 + Non-DLC Legendary weapon + purple weapon to see if the chances improve or decrease.

why is it that the only legendary type you got back was another Revolution?
There are only 2 DLC2 Legendary pistols. Revolution and the Luck Cannon. Recently, it seems that if you want a luck cannon, you’ll need that as part of your recipe. if you want a revolution, you should have a at least 1 DLC2 weapon as part of your recipe. The revolution seems to be much easier to get compared to the luck cannon at the moment. With RNG at play here, it’s really hard to say.
I would like to add that after my 20 grind run, I had a friend jump in and take all the results to grind. He got a Two Fer Luck Cannon all Jacobs parts with the following recipe(your result may vary)Revolution+Dastardly Luck Cannon+Logan’s Gun = Two Fer Luck Cannon.
That Two Fer Luck Cannon is so glorious!

i’ll be on tonight then lol. wasn’t able to get on Monday and barely did last night.
BTW - just for fun I was using some of the unwanted results as more grinding fodder and I went for a Flayer. I was getting them constantly…using a revolution + random legendary + purple Doc’s Quad. I got a flayer that has a reload speed of 2.2 and the damage is at 14100 x 15. I kept that one. I hadn’t seen one with that high of damage till now. Nor had I ever seen the reload speed drop below 2.3. Pretty good night of grinding I have to say.
