Destiny Engram Chance
So I have my first character, a level 15 hunter and I have only got around 3 engrams over the whole game experience. Now I was wondering if higher levels (ex: level 20) would yield a higher chance of receiving an engram or I am just completely unlucky and I need more time to farm/kill enemies.

3 seems reasonable for lower levels. Most engram's you get early on will automatically decrypt into a weapon or piece of armor.
There's no exact chance that anyone knows of, and it changes from time to time. However I can tell you that an hour of doing public events typically nets me 5-10 greens and 1-4 blues. An hour of lvl 28 strikes will typically net me 5-20 blues. An hour of PvP Control will typically net me 2-8 blues.
I've put approximately 300 hours into destiny. In that entire time, I have gotten around 10 legendary (purple) engrams, and 2 exotic (yellow) engrams. That doesn't count engrams that I've purchased.
It does differ depending on conditions, and even then the randomness really governs the drops. I have had times where an hour of strikes has netted me 5 blues, and times where an hour netted me 30.

How do I increase my chances of getting an exotic Engram?
Exotic engrams are not entirely random anymore. They now feature a light \u201cbad luck\u201d protection system which prioritizes items you haven't earned before. This is how it works: Exotic engrams will automatically decrypt into an Exotic weapon or armor you have never earned before.Are exotic engrams random?
Once you've reset your Infamy, you'll receive an Exotic Engram whenever you reach Infamy rank 16.Engram chance
