As part of the exotic recalibration upgrade we were told that all exotics will drop at a minimum legendary level loot quality and that the exotic recalibration will also result is legendary level loot quality rolls.

Earlier today I recalibrated my Backfire 9 times, each time resulting in, on average 50-60% rolls. My friend recalibrated his Backfire 15 times yesterday, each time resulting in similar rolls. From my past experience, most exotics that I have rerolled have rolled with on average ~80-90% rolls.

There is clearly something weird going on with the recalibration. Either it is a stealth nerf (which is less likely) or a bug (most likely).

I would suggest everyone to hold off recalibrating any of your exotics until the issue is addressed. Don't waste the limited exotic components.

nah its just rng. I max rolled some items in 1-2 tries and some items have taken 70-80 components and not quite there yet.

No they didnt say that. They say its a minimum, and that is roughly 50-60% rolls. It can go all the way up the max rolls.

RECONFIGURING EXOTICS Agents,

We are excited to introduce the ability to reconfigure Exotics with the upcoming Title Update. This feature will allow you to bring up your lower level Exotics to your current level and improve current Exotics that are already at your current level, providing a continuous purpose for Exotic Components.

FUNCTIONALITY The ability to reconfigure an exotic will do 2 things:

The Exotic selected will be brought up to the level of your crafting bench, up to level 40. The attributes of the Exotic you reconfigure, will get new stat values assigned which are appropriate for the Exotic’s level. The overall new power of a reconfigured Exotic will be at a guaranteed minimum and can go all the way up to a god-rolled item. Reconfiguring an Exotic that is already at your current level will skip the first step, and immediately re-roll its status and attributes. It can be risky to reconfigure an already powerful Exotic, as each individual attribute bar and the overall power of the item will be re-rolled. Everything between a god-roll and a weaker overall roll is possible, but it will always be above the guaranteed minimum.

No where it say it will be a legendary roll, its more like a challenging roll at minimum and goes up from there.

Your RNG sucks, just farm more components, they are pretty easy to get in places if you know where to farm.

Thanks for the breakdown here. There's been a lot of confusion over Heroic vs. Legendary loot quality plus the individual attribute vs. overall item power rolls whenever talk about loot quality comes up.

I'll keep an eye out for possible reports of Reconfigured Exotics not behaving in line with loot quality expectations in TU11 though, just in case.
