Hello, I want people to take this info with grain of salt. I know this might be bazaar but try it out. First, I want to confirm the following rumors about the hive run:

Boxes open or closed DOES NOT AFFECT LEGEND DROPS
Having legend drops in your inventory or with you DOES NOT AFFECT LEGEND DROPS.
Killing Queen beginning or end DOES NOT AFFECT LEGEND DROPS

Any other insane rumor provided is ill or created as a hassle. HOWEVER...The glitch...

For some odd reason, at the Queen boss if you take it to the left upper corner by the green eggs I've seen legend items dropped much better. Two dropped from my loot, and three more. This was a total shock as we further experimented. Instead of the usual 100 runs a day. Today and last night was only no more than 20 runs and saw better drop rates.

Again, take this with grain of salt of info.
