did not work with spire
hierarchy or navigator
how do i get tinashas mastery and is it still meta
iron banner, and yes
navigator, but hierarchy is getting a buff in eof so if you want it get it
how come i dont have this? i bought the legacy collection
could you show your owned dlc page in the store --> expansions
no, the ingame store.
wait... the legacy collection does not include the final shape
thats a separate buy
Correct
ah, silly me
what should i use my cyphers on
Pit of Heresy but not the Episode. Also, we're talking about Shadowkeep
its called a "pack" as the campaign is free to play (see the ** at the bottom of the image)
sure but the pack includes the exotics, which is the focus of the question here
Silly me it says it's free
For shadowkeep and beyond light
I need to finish them to unlock the exotics?
shadowkeep is not free, the campagin is free, and the campaign will not yield the exotics.
see this image for details
Whats a fast way to get seasonal rank up with the shaping slab?
the monument to lost lights only has exotics available nowhere else (as their old method to obtain is no longer in the game)
So i did not get scammed yea?
if you could show the ingame store page, then expansions, it would elaborate on your situation
not the steam store page
the ingame one
doing activities. court of blades is pretty fast
ok
The ones that arent chdcked are shadowkeep pack and beyond light pack
isn't matchbook from shadowkeep
might not be THE fastest method but it's the one I know
what should i use my exotic cyphers on
yes, which is what the discussion surrounds
could i get a screenshot
sure a sec
well, this does show you do not own the legacy pack
steam
no steam
Unlocking Exotic armor with Rahool's novel decryption
just for clarification
you did buy the pack directly through steam
yes?
theres your issue.
amazing
for reasons detailed in the rules, ill continue in DMs to elabore, if youre ok with that
all the exotics from their years
Their raids and a dungeon
Will rift come back before edge of fate?
We don’t know. It’s not required for the 108 seasonal challenges challenge, though it is one of the easier ones
have you checked if a private match counts?
getting light level seems really difficult now with it being tied to the seasonal artifact
or am i missing something
i'm stuck at 2033 and my xp bar is barely moving
it is
around your light level is pretty much the effective max
2020 is the gear max, anything above that is tied to artifact power. Leveling up your artifact will cause that number to rise
power level doesnt increase your power, despite what the word implies
power level reduces penalty
yep, i'm just wondering if progression of the artifact is normally this slow
ya
i want to do 2050 lost sector
and i just finished one
but i can feel the penalty
doesn't feel good
if you feel the penalty at 2030, power isnt an issue.
really? isn't 20 a lot
what weapons are you bringing? what anti champion weaponry?
and are you using double primary?
i have all anti champ capability, i'm going liar's handshake, combination blow, gamblers dodge, prismatic
you'll perpetually be a glass cannon there too, gotta keep your distance when you can
ive often done master lost sectors bellow 2030 flawlessly
and the bump to 2050 id imagine would be nice
the time it would take to get to 2050 would not be worth it
2050's master isnt it? legend is typically more efficient
since its faster, and while the difference in RNG isnt known we're confident its not much
I want to do the last step of the final shape dlc where you need to play with 12 people but it seems no one is playing that mission so maybe someone wants to help me do that mission
i recommend LFG for LFG
here

How do I do this
Any merit in keeping all my crucible engrams (21) for the new update? If not what weapons available at shaxx should I go for since I just got back into the game
do heresy activities while on the path of ambition
they get reset when fate comes out
all tower vendor engrams reset
Bro they just kicked me for no reason
its worth it to stockpile exotic engrams tho right
yes

or just wait in the queue, it might take long but it will start
What is the fastest way to rank up with the shaping slab?
It doesn't I just teleport in the game there is no wait time
expert court of blades
Ok
Thx for letting me know! I’ll just try to see if I get a good rose roll
Is TTF good for dps with a bns sniper?
What Stats do I proritize for hunter?
Current system: Resilience
Edge of Fate system: Melee, Weapons, Health (aka Strength, Mobility, and Resilience in current system)
ok
I just got 4 exotic engrams off of gambit from like 5-6 matches is that luck or do exotic engrams have a high drop rate on gambit?
is bad juju fine for pve? just for campaign and some light stuff tho
two tails?
ye
no 💔
then no
Anyone know lol…?
Which encounter drops the supremacy in the last wish raid
Any. Last Wish doesn't have any encounter-specific loot pools for legendary gear. That's why Kalli is the only farm folks will typically see for it
Any
what stats should I focus for titan
Depends on builds
say I'm running a one punch solar
But normally resilience and strength
theoretically
Then resilience and strength
kk ty
Use d2 armor picker to get the best stats
should i be farming armor that had been Stat spreads for strength and resilience
yes and make sure it’s 65 or around there total stats
Yes and no. Armor is radically changing in about a month. Stats will no longer be what they currently are. Getting 100 resilience is good enough for the interim period between now and Edge of Fate on July 15
okok what's good for farming armor then?
honestly idk I haven’t farmed armor ina long time
I saw people get 100 on 3 stats how to do it?
just pinical drops give good armor lowk
alr noted ty
Like this @hybrid python
?
Luck, masterworking, and stat mods
And subclass fragments
There’s probably a better way to farm it some way, the way I got all of mine was during the battle pass arenas and stuff
long ago
yeah
yea the armor I'm currently running I got from the rite of nine to put me at soft cap
what's the hard power cap rn?
2020 is as high as gear goes
artifact bonus power is unlimited
ah okay cuz I've hit like 2024
All the grinders rn are like 2040 and up
yeah I see stuff for legendary raids and dungeons have the power cap be like 2040
and last question is there anything I should do to prepare for the new season?
It depends on your seriousness
If you’re just a casual player not really other than stock up on your mats and shit
If you’re going for a day 1/contest raid clear there’s a whole lot
as much as I'd love to be that guy I simply don't have the time nor the fireteam lmao
go to the shaping slab
Ya I’ve been chipping away at the bounty prep this week. 32 hours of OT hasn’t been too helpful with that.
well I'm picking up the game super late I didn't play day one and I also never bought any dlcs besides what the game gave me
kinda been on and off
played a lil before witch queen played a lil during witch queen then I'm back now
TFS is really worth buying
the slab in eris apartment
And I can only imagine EoF will be as well
You need to go to the shaping slab in Eris' apartment/flat
so my only worry is I leave in abt 2ish months and when I leave I'm not gonna be on for like 8-9 months
turning it in is just taking the quest from the shaping slab
Deployment ?

basic first
once I'm deployed I'll be back on cuz I'm being stationed in germany
Still time to come to the police academy instead 
not true gotta wait 3 years
21 is minimum age for police academy yea?
Guys can we still exchange strange coins for paraversal hual?
Under 21 can’t take firearm home from work
ohhh I thought it was 21 for police academy
well still no time to change my mind I gor my contract signed and everything
It depends certain academies have that standard other ones do not when I went through the Academy we had at least two that were like 19
So is my thing glitched
What stat do i put on my ghost to focus if I want mobility resilience and discipline
im using my engrams from failsafe
Lol I know I was just messing with you Godspeed and thank you for your service
Well, the mod will select one of them and generally make it the highest
So if you want high resilience, put on the resilience ghost armor mod
i know there is a trick also but i forgot how it works
lol ty I'm going ADA so I'll get to shoot things out of the sky
to make you have high stats in multiple
plus everywhere needs an ADA so I got options
its had to do with the first 3 stats and 3 lower stats and how they are distributed
in the mission ascent which logos are assigned to 1 2 3 4?
It has always been to set your ghost to discipline
But now anyone that seriously trying to prepare for day one raid wants to set it to mobility
so should i prep and focus mobility?
Whichever ones you want to. Most people call them by the icons. So the pyramid ship one is pyramid. The one with the witness is witness, and so on.
Do you plan on doing the contest raid ?
Nah but I know mobility is changing to a usefull stat and my armor is not exactly lets just say mobility focused
can you still get abberant action?
farming mobil and intellect armour for edge of fate, what i best ways to get high stat roll armour atm
also is the catalyst for telesto just a luck drop?
If you have Episode Echoes or access to Onslaught: Salvation in the Last City, yes
There isn’t a pressing need for you to do all that if you don’t want to. You’ll eventually get better gear. The weapons stat is probably gonna be crucial for DPS checks in the contest raid and with only a few days to prepare it’ll be more beneficial to have older armor for players to use rather than potentially not getting any new armor with that’s stat.
;cat
Exotic Catalysts
Catalysts are unique permanent upgrades for specific exotic weapons. Depending on when the catalyst was introduced, it may be as minor as a stat boost or as meaningful as a brand new feature of the weapon. Please note that acquiring catalysts is often very RNG-dependent or attached to an otherwise very grindy process.
Essentially yes
ok
Most are luck based but some aren't
I don't think so? It shouldn't take long to check Starhorse in game
Does anyone want to join my Fire team and help with a mission
Sorry I’m not at home but I saw some videos
Eventually every armor piece will be replaced. The day 1 raid is the Saturday of launch week so there isn’t gonna be weeks and weeks to farm out good armor in the new system before that.
i recommend LFG for that

what has changed in the 2nd week of prophecy ROTN?
do make sure to actually specify what you need help with
They don’t sell it anymore? Sadge
read up on FAQs
But like I said if you’re not doing the contest raid you aren’t in a time crunch and don’t have to worry about farming that armor
Are there teams going for fun and not really focused on placement?
There’s teams solely focused on placement. There’s teams that don’t care about placement they just want the clear for the emblem. And then there’s teams that don’t care about placement or the clear and just want to play contest mode and do a raid blind.
does the invisible ancestral bond still work
I meant for myself to check. The answer is no. Starhorse does not sell Paraversal Hauls. Neither does Xur.
The last of which normally do not end up clearing the raid but that’s kind of understood before hand.
Unless it was RoN
Then the people who wanted to do it for fun did indeed get a clear
Oh man… thank you brother. 🫰🏻
Is anyone else having trouble getting the sword bearers to spawn in pit for the first encounter?
I’m at the right room and everything, but all that kept spawning was a couple red bar nights and some acolytes
Or is that just me?
if i do the witch queen exotic glave quest on warlock, do i have to re do it all of it again to get the titan and hunter ones?
for action and concurrence?
i believe you just need to purchase the pattern
i may be wrong
There’s no point in bounty stacking anymore correct
was anything said about it?
Banshee bounties go byebye, everything else stays
banshee bounties

Some people are prepping gear because they are prepping for raid or they have nothing better to do. Unless they retroactively apply set bonuses to our gear (unlikely), current gear will be immediately outclassed by the new stuff coming out.
If you are looking for more impactful ways to prep, unlocking all the subclasses+upgrades you have access to across all the classes you play is always a good idea. The meta is going to shift quite radically and we have no idea what classes and builds will be strong. Similarly, Exotics will play a crucial role in nearly every build, so unlocking them as many as you can now will also help you prep for whichever direction the meta shifts. If you've done both of those, you can do some of the more minor things like Exotic prepping for Rahool or Bounty prepping to get a bit of an edge at launch. Finally, while the weapon system is changing, it won't be nearly as dramatic as the armor change. Most of the current weapons will still be viable, so it pays to farm out some of those top options you might be missing, especially those from the Episodic content
ok thanks alot
What's the fastest way to level Rahool to unlock the 4th focused decoding page?
focus specific exotics you already own
Anyone know if it's still possible to get Choir Of One?
it is if you own Episode: Echoes
I do but can't seem to find the quest for it
do "Na-Veskirisk" on Europa if it's available, then "Meteoric" on Nessus to set up Failsafe in the HELM so that she can give you the Echoes questline
guys is there a "best" way to farm the exotic cipher pots from the revenant stuff. i heard u get it randomly from crafting any purples but does anyone have that efficient sauce on how to do it?
What’s the best way to progress overthrow?
doing the objectives scattered around the area
Damnit well the grind begins thanks
how can i make it so i cant dodge by double tapping my "a" key on keyboard with a sparrow
you can change your vehicle dodge binds
i did
to my left click and right click
but still if i do "aa" it dodges to the left
the thing is they were never binded
Or switch to a sparrow that doesn’t dodge
its just the left click for dodge left
they are for directional movement
the game's dodge binds are single presses, the double press to dodge is on your movement keys
is there a way to like turn that off
if you can unbind A and D for your sparrow in theory you wouldn't have double presses on A or D since they would do nothing
not that i'm aware of
no matter what the move left and right binds are you can double tap to dodge
which sucks
yeah
do you double tap accidentally often?
like easier dodge binds?
why not
correct
i have my dodges bound to Q and E and they work fine
Wdym if artifact power is no longer a thing
artifact mods
bounty prepping was not for artifact power anyway
the artifact mods will be so fucking broken
I guess the artifact mods are the only thing that benefits from bounty grinding next season huh
outside of season pass anyways
yep
I wouldn't be too surprised if they changed that too
changed what?
the artifact mod unlocks, make it tied to your power progression somehow
ah
tbh, I dislike bounties for the most part
I think they'll keep it as xp since it's related to the season
you don't have to do bounties to get artifact mods for day 1
no, but it skyrockets the rate at which you get them
Is the midnight coup any good for pvp ?
it's decent
this would be my 5/5 https://d2foundry.gg/w/2499720827?p=3250034553,3142289711,588594999_0,47981717&m=3417406043&mw=2697220197
handcannons are very feel and personal preference based for pvp, but it does have the right collection of pvp perks if it's your sauce
Ight bet ty
Ty ty
what's the best way to farm temption's hook?
use the tomb
is there a most efficient activity?
or a farm like there was for revenant weapons where you just kill stuff
not sure, I haven't looked into the most efficient way
ok
Guys I need help, I’ve completed the e-15 lost sector a couple times but it won’t show on my map, what do I do
The expert lost sector? Could you show a screenshot of your map
looted teh chest and all?
I assume you looted the chest there yeah
Yes I’ve looted the chest
I did it a couple times
And also are you 1960+?
I think 4-5 times now
before counting artifact
Yes
do you have more, and just need to plant them?
You'd need to be around 2000 to even stand a chance
Fortunately a boost exists as it's the tail end of the dlc
Eternity --> rite of the nine --> gift of the nine
go grab the gear from the rite of the nine yeah
boosts you straight to 2020
Alr, lemme go see
also not half bad armor too, so no need to farm legendary armor till next season
where is the chest from the rite of the nine questline, open the chest in eternity
up the blue aura lifts
There should be a little glowing circle near the Emissary on the floor. If you stand on it, it will take you to another platform. If it doesn't, that means you did not complete the Rite of the Nine version of Spire of the Watcher. Spire of the Watcher will be back next week.
Do you need 2 people to get the dual destiny quest?
Or just to do the quest itself?
Oh thank god
to get it no, to do it yes
it's a mission also
no quest
Oh okay cheers
Why can't I get found in dark quest on my Titan acc
How are weapon tiers gonna work on exotic weapons. Sorry if im asking a dumb question im not caught up yet with the info
they're not
I think they said something like they're just auto-set to tier 2
so new ones are the same as old ones
Is tier 2 going to be like the average?
bray.tech/maps
Do any of the videos in the twid today contain any information we didn’t already know from last week?
Why can't I get found in dark quest on Titan
Whats a good titan build?
How can I land on The Traveler there is no Landing zone
best weapon to get for pve from the vault?
ik they arent crazy good but one should stand out right
if u mean pale heart u need to progress in final shape story
Oh ok
is warlock any good anymore?
yes
any class is good if u build it right and enjoy it
do you have any builds?
Yep ||secretly want that u chose hunter||
I never figured this out how the hell do I get expansion exotics like mask of fealty or triton vice
Those drop engrams no?
And all the engrams just give me the same old things
I have every expansion
Reset rank with rahool and then focus decrypt them on the 4th page
Some of them drops from engram and some of them you need to buy them from exotic voult
How many resets?
1
You get rahool rep by opening engrams
I think it's something like 40 exotic engrams to reach max rep from 0
Ok thanks
someone did the math somewhere
what's the roll on sudden death for pve
Where are the quests located?
12p + trench
emissary in rite of the nine social space
doing the dungeons without the quests is crazy work
they just want to kill things
hold W+LMB build 
is there a way to get alethonym catalyst still even tho revenant is over?
pass level 145
Yeah but she’s not giving any “Into the Dungeon” quests?
screenshot her
they're not called that
just pick up all her quests
unrelenting not work on the dreadnaught?
all healing sources are nerf'd there
nerfed, but still functional?
like give very little
and unrelenting already gives little health
i guess i'm not sure about the starts health regen part
that part might not work on dreadnaught
hey, im trying to do the prophecy dungeon and any time i give in a mote i die
Are you giving the right motes?
light to light and darkenes to darkness
there's light and dark ones, gotta turn in at the right spot
sounds like a bug maybe
Yes
toland will move
which is the name of the white floaty btw, that's a guy
are any of these worth getting?
the entire bottom row
toland but that's only when speaks
as a brand new player I'd just grab all of them just so you have guns of those types
Yes
where i cantr see hiim
long story, essential loot drops were bugged so we get free goated gear
im not brand new. I have weapons of every type and im trying to get the best of each category I can.
which mode are you on?
ah, well the trace is still worth in addition to the entire bottom row
2nd to hardest
most of the bottom free ones are basically BiS
only the first dunk matters, the rest can be any order
or at least very good
mk. any way to switch which slot a weapon takes?
nope, that's part of the gear hunt
that sucks
kinda yeah, but the element is tied to the slot so it makes sense a lil at least
well I want to use a hand cannon but it takes up the slot I use for my sniper.
and I don't have any other special ammo guns in that category
Then you'll need to get a new sniper and new handcannon in opposing slots
Which is doable, you just gotta figure out which you want to go get and where
hm
d2foundry.gg has lots of good info about weapons and a really nice search filter that can be used to find what you need
In this case, just find a sniper in the slot your handcannon is not, and go hunting
is there a quest for getaway artist
no
For unlocking the dual destiny mission, do I need to kill the secret enemies from the overthrow activity in order starting from the landing? Or can I do it out of order
any order
it's just usually nicer to do the blooming or the landing last so you can go straight to the quest flag afterward
shouldnt matter though
Do I have to kill all 3 in the same game instance or can I leave in between
you can leave in-between
i dont think you can fully close the game in between
but you should be free to go to orbit and such
Sounds good thanks
how do i start a enigma protocol?
how many times a week can u try to get 1k voices?
is it just the once a week on each character
unless its feauterd or how does it work
that raid looks odd
three
unless it is featured
as with any other raid
one on each character?
yes
hey, if i got the borrow dyad exotic missions but my friends not, do they also get to take the weapon?
worth a shot
If they have the quest and Heresy, they should be able to
what if they dont have the quest
They will get it yes
They don’t need the quest
My friend did it for me
To get target lock
And the gun
And one for all
oh oke cool
how long does this miission take?
I don't think you can launch it though if someone doesn't have Heresy
If he dosent know what he’s doing probs 20
-30
minutes
so 30
Yes
Oops
all of my friends do
its more of a question of if they get the weapon
whitout the quest
Why do people prefer trinity ghoul over ticcus for kingsfall? I was thinking whisper of the wyrm!
arc shields and trinity is better at ad clear
what's the fastest way to do tome rituals solo?
whisper is good for oryx but everyone is doing queenbreaker since we have particle
Ok ty what sub class should I run for kingsfall in normally take prismatic but if im running trinity should I use arc?
doesn't matter
What is particle so sorry I didn't kingsfall 4 times a week in d1 but I stopped d2 after red war
Ok ty! I just unlike most people do not wish to go into the raid blind and be a burden to my team
artifact mod that buffs linear fusion damage
Ok gotcha and u say that's better then whisper for oryx?
just use a build you are most comfortable with
yes
Well my titan is my captain save a hoe so I normally run the healing auto rifle stronghold and lament if im not running that i run the repulsion that freeze trace rifle and a heavy sword ive never had to build for a raid in d2 haha
I actually HATE running stronghold im a shooter i like fighting i only picked it up because melon heads couldn't shoot those dang shriekers in the nightfall 😒
But surprisingly it worked really well and has been highly requested from almost everyone on my friends list hence the captain save a hoe so im learning which weapons to swap my primary to so that I can still deal damage and not die off boredom
whats the cap of nonary manifolds
10k
thanks
How does bounty prep work and what will it do?
- Grab bounty
- Complete bounty objective
- Don't turn it in immediately
- Wait until new expansion
- Join friend
- Turn them all in
Typically only done by Day 1 raiders
Whats the point of joining a friend?
and what does it do for you?
The goal is to get as many artifact perk unlocks as quickly as possible
ohhh
if ur not going for day1 raid it dosnt matter, tbh
Do you get a headstart with season pass levels?
Rewards pass has a small fireteam boost to xp so being in a fireteam increases the amount of xp you get
yes
The what 😂
Ok I might do a few just to get a faster start with season pass since i find it hard to keep me busy rn with d2
this guy: https://www.youtube.com/@AztecrossGaming/videos
he said dont watch his video
😁
Which tonic increases the chance of season of the splicer weapons drops?
Tonic of Vintage <activity short name> Weaponry
Thank you
Ive never been one to follow meta and like I said i like fighting way to much i also get impatient if my team kills to slow 😂
why does inspecting someone in the mission launch screen often freeze the game?
happenes to me quite often and only then and there
you can craft tonics for specific weapons you want as well
Make sure you do weekly bounties
where are those?
Weekly Bounty Vendors
- Eris (Moon)
- Lectern of Enchantment (Moon)
- Variks (Europa)
- Petra (Dreaming City)
- Shaw Han (Cosmodrome)
- Starhorse (Xur's Treasure Hoard)
- Nimbus (Neomuna)
- Hawthorne (Tower)
Tips and Notes
- Destiny Recipes has a seasonal prep checklist to help keep track of your bounties (among other prep items)
- Each Ascendant Challenge has its own bounty (6 total | Only 1 still possible)
- Each Empire Hunt has its own bounty (3 total | Only 1 Still Possible)
- Patrols count for ~14% each on the Courageous Expedition bounty. Heroic public events count for ~19%
- Altars of Sorrow Nightmares and Nightmare Hunt Nightmares count for the Nightmare Sojourner bounty, despite it only talking about Lost Sectors
- Higher difficulty Nightmare Hunts don't count for extra for the Nightmare Hunter, and other players' kills count for your progress
Yeah, didn't get ones I need yet
Is this pinned somewhere?
It’s pretty common knowledge and it’s in the TWAB from today
Oh
Just thought it's useful to have it
I’m spending all day tomorrow grinding bounties
green or purple fast
The TWID just lists all of the vendors, not specifically the folks w/ weeklies
Damn so ib is not coming back until September? They mentioned in in twid but didn't say it was coming back next week
They say that when EoF starts, IB goes on hiatus
So that'd suggest nothing has changed about the previously announced schedule which takes place before EoF
Do any of the videos in the twid today contain any information we didn’t already know from last week?
I know this gets asked very often, but how’s this season? Should I hop back on to prep for new expansion
Most, if not all, of those videos are from last week, so not really. Datto's covers some stuff he saw people asking after watching his initial videos so if his are what you watched last tuesday it probably would be a good idea to watch his follow-up. Otherwise 🤷
Heresy continues the trend of the final season of the year being the strongest of the year. Rite of the Nine (a new f2p event focused on the Prophecy, Ghosts of the Deep, and Spire of the Watcher Dungeon) is going on until Edge of Fate releases.
In general, it depends on how long ago you played last, why you stopped playing, and if you have any serious interest in doing the raid during contest mode.
I’ve noticed this trend where every last season of the past few expansions has always been the best.
I stopped playing 1-2 month after the final shape expansion release (so around a year ago), I don’t have interest in competing during contest mode but I love playing during the first month of expansion release because the community feels so alive during that time.
If you don't care about contest mode raiding then most of the reason why you'd want/need to prep for a new season goes away. There are certainly weapons to go after (Datto put out a video this week with some suggestions), but you arguably don't need any of it, either.
Yeah I could’ve phrased my question better, that if theres anything good to grind for before new expansion but you’ve answered that already

while it might not seem like a ton of great weaponry came out this year, that isn't quite the case. there are plenty of good, great, fantastic and best in slot weapons available right now. while not eve...
Appreciate it, thanks
Turning in Metastasized Essentia is the main method of acquiring them, and the easiest way I found of acquiring them is by equipping the Expert Tracker ghost mod, then doing full Nether runs to farm for other guns while grabbing as many Essentia as you can find. There tends to be 2 per zone and they are in somewhat fixed locations. However, if you're purely after Temptation's Hook, you can go to the Shaping Slab and equip the Essentia Rune that lets you keep one on failure. Load into Nether, grab the first Essentia you see, then load into another instance of Nether. You'll keep the one you grabbed thanks to the Rune, so you can chain instances until you get bored and turn them all in.
Not really sure why you want Temptation's Hook in the first place though haha
it helps build stacks of bolt charge with the seasonal weapon mod (power of ambition)
How many is a good amount for a decent headstart in Edge of Fate Season Pass
and storms keep
planning on attempting solo flaw ultimatum proph and it seems like a pretty good weapon to use since it rolls relentless whirlwind and can use the power of ambition mod so it like never loses ammo while building bolt charge cos of the lots of hits
Destiny Recipes will tell you how many ranks you'll get with your stored bounties. How many is good is entirely up to you
What’s the current d2 meta and meta hunter builds for dungeons and GM’s?
Hunters like prismatic with the exotic class item
The heart of inmost light and cyterachne class item roll is quite popular
Like this right
If that's your second character, you don't need the quest, you can just redo the missions that have the little orange knife icon to unlock the abilities.
Prismatic Consecration, Arc Storm's Keep, Strand Banner
where can i acquire judgment hand cannon
proph
bet
bet
All classes are viable. Regarding Warlock builds, common ones include: Prismatic Getaway Artist / Rimecoat Raiments, Prismatic Lightning Surge, Prismatic / Solar Speaker's Sight, and Arc Geomag
what about arclock
Is anyone having issues. Completeing the first exercisum quest because I've played it a bunch of times from the legend area and it's not tracking the progress for that quest
That's because that's not the right version of Ghosts
Needs to be from the Eternity menu, so not progressable until next week
Ok well I can't figure out how to get that dungeon on the rite of the nine
Yeah that's what I mean I can't figure out how to open it on eternity
Because it's not available right now
you have to wait till next week
Oh ok thanks I've been so confused about that
Like Curltoes said, it's functional but barely. If you heard it was recommended, that's because it was broken when the Nether launched. Unrelenting was unaffected by the healing changes, so it made healing to full very trivial, which was funny because more traditional sources of healing like Healing Grenade and Well barely did anything. Nowadays everything is much better balanced, so traditional healing sources are preferred.
Outside of Nether, Unrelenting has become irrelevant (due to changes over time), Heal Clip is the preferred option.
How does bolt charge buildup work with swords? Does it consider mag size = 1?
whats the fastest way to get resolve and ampition reputation? im trying to get barow dyad
Doing the Heresy story quest (including on alts)
Following that, farming Court of Blades
You need to deposit the first one on Toland (the white floating orb), then the others can be done in any order.
Many of those are the best of each type, they're apology weapons from Bungie because of weightgate messing up perk rolls.
does anyone know if it is still possible to get the Choir of one. I havent played since witch queen
Do you own Echoes (you either bought TFS before October 8 or own TFS Annual)?
OK thanks. Should have known compendium has the data
no i dont own echos at all
so combined with blighted rounds, you build stacks fast
Then not unless you change that
Or wait until Edge of Fate releases (assuming you own TFS base at least) and hope Encore ends up in the exotic mission rotation
So these nonary engrams are gonna be capped at 20? Does that include the 1 per day we get for free?
You get 27 total
Ty
if i purchase TFS annual i would have acces to Encore?
Yes
but not TFS base
You'd have to progress the Echoes story
Not without mastering the secrets of time travel to buy it before October 8 last year
Or unless you mean waiting
alright thank you
If you want it before July 15, you need TFS Annual
For almost every kind of weapon, there is usually a version that exists in the Kinetic and Energy slot. Sometimes they will be equally good, sometimes they won't be. Generally it's worth having something to use in each one. If you're used to 140rpm hand cannons in the Kinetic slot, you might enjoy Zaouli's Bane or Exalted Truth in the Energy slot.
If you have specific questions about alternatives in other slots, feel free to ask.
Is Witherhoard good for pve?
yes
Yes, but it's become a bit more niche now that we have access to legendary area denials
Isn't the damage of Witherhoard much better than legendary area denial frames?
it's good for rotations since it has higher total from being more ammo efficient and area denials don't stack so you can have 1 person use an area denial and one use whoard
and the blight lasts longer than area denial pools
yeah, you don't have to shoot it as often for an envious rotation
anyone know if i can still get hatchling refit for wishender?
Heresy was pretty fun. Nether was very refreshing and Court of Blades was fine. Weapons were interesting, mainly Psychopomp and Adamantite were the two standouts. Watchful Eye and Abyssal Edge were still fan favorites.
Revenant was a flop. Onslaught: Salvation was just more of the same Onslaught we've had since Into the Light, so it felt a bit boring even with the seasonal changes. Tomb of Elders was better, but not enough to sway opinion. In terms of weapons, most were lackluster. Liturgy and Bitter/Sweet were the two main standouts. Vantage Point and Noxious Vetiver are decent Jolting Feedback options.
Episode Echoes activites were meh, but it had the best loot by far. It was the last season with craftable weapons, and among those are all-stars like Lost Signal and Aberrant Action (and Chronophage if you like StL Traces). Then we had Enigma Protocol with Perfect Paradox, arguably the best 12p shotgun available, as well as a pretty nice version of Martyr's Retribution.
With a month left, there is still plenty of time to farm for all these, but it depends on if you're okay with spending the money on the Annual Pass.
Assuming you mean Wishkeeper, yes. Do Expert difficulty on Starcrossed when it's the weekly exotic mission
are there any quests i can do to speed up my reputation with the shaping slap? just farming court takes so long
The story quest
wishender yeah, my bad. is it a guarnateed drop somehow? or is it random from the legendary difficulty
Getting a retrofit is guaranteed on Expert. Which one you get is random
gotcha, but i can get hatchling refit im guessing
is it worth griding my rep level for barrow dyad? is it any good
one of my fav weapons, when built right will melt anything, takes a while to unlock the quest, gotta get every single aspect for strand
It's very much a case by case basis. In a DPS rotation, it depends on your loadout. Currently it's in the top DPS rotation since it helps proc Envious Arsenal easily, but that's it's main purpose, not damage. For add clear, Psychopomp is much more spamable and VS Velocity Baton has more utility. Most people I see run it use it for Transcendance building, but even that has become a bit more niche now that other methods have been tested and proven.
oh alr thx
In terms of power, it's alright, very middle of the road. In terms of fun, it's an absolute blast to use imo, very worth getting.
how good is 1k voices
i call it 100 voices
thought it was gonna get a cata?
wait is that real
what weapon should I get first with my exotic cypher?
do quests from the shaping slap help with reputation?
No
yeah why the hell are the ammo reserves soooo small whats the point of even making a weapon u can never shoot
Paid raid exotics don't get catalysts
o fr?
Last word
thats dumb wth
i lied don't do that
Fr. It's because raid exotics have to have acquisition methods built into the raids (the f2p ones have this!) but because bungie generally don't touch RaD activities once they're live those exotics don't get catalysts.
ok then. what should I get
what dlcs do you have
That's changing in EOF though since they will go back and expand on the raid
that is so stupid
if 1k voices had a cata it could make it way better
so far just final shape. Im getting the rest when they go on sale
doesn't the navigator dlc drop from a secret in ghosts
o yeah nav has a cata
Alternatively they can just do what they have been and buff the base behaviour.
Not a raid
fair
tesselation
i lied don't do that either
sorry
Dude 😭
I already have it from something else
There's a pinned list of recommended exotics to pick up I think
also are the legacy gear with going for? or have they been sunsetted?
They're all outdated at this point. Unless you REALLY like some of it don't bother
that machine gun isn't bad
Save it. You can stack up to 5, there's no reason to spend them unless you have a specific need.
Otherwise I would use it with Rahool's Novel Decryption to unlock more Exotic armor.
ive always like the recluse lol.
alright
There's a new, shinier one if you do onslaught
ik smgs are bad rn tho
i can't help it I'm sorry
The one from Onslaught is nice if you want one.
yeah I didn't know if that was the same one. do you get it from a specific difficulty?
nope
No, but playing Legendary gives you 2 loot chests after each boss room, so more loot total
ok. im not there yet
You can focus it at zavala which makes it more likely than the other onslaught weapons to drop as well
this is very good for farming weapons but legendary is kinda hard and there's no auto matchmaking so prepare according
any point in trying it alone or should I get level 5 to get a team for each run?
already done.
The easiest method of farming is to just run Legendary Onslaught to wave 10, kill the boss, then reset and do it again. 1-10 is fairly easy even on Legendary, and there is potential to solo. If you're struggling though, there are quite a few farmers on the LFG discords that you could join
solo expert onslaught 
It's not that bad lol
just feed me to shaxx
alright im trying a normal run.
which lost sector in nessus has the most nightmares
I'd go with the Fallen one in the hole in the wall near Failsafe
I believe they all have the same amount but I do the one in the middle
The vex one at the location where you spawn in at the giant spire
So I’ve done all 3 acts and I have all the catalysts for barrow but I can’t turn in the exotic quest to start derealize? Any help?
Has perfect paradox gone from failsafe? Im pretty sure I did the questline ages ago
Well so far I've done 20 bounties
Did you actually do the first step (go through the blight and do the first puzzle)?
Yeah I did it with my friend
You're sure we're talking about the same thing? You found the taken orb in the Nether, jumped in and did the puzzle?
Nothing has changed with Failsafe in the HELM yet
Yes my friend and I jumped in it and did the puzzle
On a video he had the gun but its not there for me
Then you haven't progressed Echoes and/or the specimen quests enough on the character you're on
And your friend is in the same boat?
No I believe he has his intrensics
I have to quests for failsafe I think, ill do those and see if it works
Ty
My stepdads account on the PS5 is the main PS+ owner and it is shared to my PS4 and i downloaded Final Shape on his PS5 and it is technically on his account on my PS4 and I have played it till I got the free exotics, but it didn't transfer to my account
Then I'd wonder if you actually picked up the collectible from the Nether puzzle, because the only time I've seen folks in your situation is when they didn't actually do the intro puzzle and go shepherded along into other stuff.
What didn't transfer to your account
Final Shape
If you refresh/renew licenses or whatever that thing is on PS, does TFS download? I saw folks on PS4 mention they were unable to claim TFS, so if refreshing the licenses doesn't show TFS as available for you, then it'd appear they only made the PS5 edition available for free.
Which account should I be under when I do the refresh licenses
Whichever one actually owns the DLC
It downloaded on the PS4 so it is on his account but not mine
Ahh I see. And I’m watching a video atm and I now know why i can’t continue. I was thinking of the puzzle with the four symbols
And you've definitely set up game sharing correctly? Other DLC/games/etc. that only your stepdad owns and you don't are still playable?
you cant farm sd for exotic right?
All other games work including dlc besides Cyberpunk
So that'd be more evidence of the TFS license being PS5 only, but this is a niche enough thing you're probably going to need to contact PSN support
Correct. One chance per class per week. Legendaries are farmable, though.
whats the point of sd being featured then if nothing changes about it
It's not featured
It's newest
oh
can you farm vh as well or do you need to wait for rotation?
Oh I see
Gotta wait, but afaik it's bugged to still act as newest (meaning farmable as legendary) even when it's not featured
Thank you btw
Do exotic class items still drop from pale heart chests? I have been opening chests for the last 2 hours and I still haven’t got one
You've unlocked it before on the character you're on, and you've actually doing overthrow to incrase your drop chance?
Not playing dual destiny?
Yes I have the class item on my character. I don’t have to unlocked it on all 3 characters for it to drop in chest right?
You just need it unlocked on the character you're playing
If you're just opening chests and not doing overthrow that explains your bad RNG
anyone know what this is?
Yeah I haven’t been doing overthrow
They changed how the chests work. If you're doing the old method of opening random world chests, the chances of them dropping are very low. If you do the Overthrow activities and open the chests at the end, your odds of it dropping improve
Collectible
ah okay ty
Is Prometheus Lens good for pve?
Not specifically.
Does class item synthos affect glaives?
Yes
awesome
it buffs the melee
Just like regular synthos
Only titans know that
What are all the collectibles i need to get Dreadnaught Collector done For Heretic Title
I believe it includes all of the hidden worms and the chess pieces.
I'm at 78/50, so you should have some wiggle room
I'm not sure if there is a guide that includes both the worms and chess pieces, but you have plenty of time in each area to check two separate videos. The hardest part is just reloading the Nether until you end up in the right area.
There’s 60 chess pieces so that’s more than enough
so just finished beyond light campaign just wondering is the shadowkeep campaign worth playing? like is there anything you get from it that's generally helpful?
Just the exotics behind the campaign
If they interest you
unless I didn't buy the shadowkeep expansion jut playing the campaign since it's free
in which case not really?
Yeah, the exotics are not f2p
I figured since the one after the beyond light campaign isnt
Yeah, the only reason to do the campaign for you is story.
I also find it weird that they gave everyone curse of Osiris and warmind then proceeded to vault the campaign and majority of the content for it
nah, I just used it back when it was broken and was wondering if it was still any good there
They did it for the health of the gameplay and the engine updates and reworks. Also, the reason it became free was because it was being removed.
I remember that
it was like "oh, we're removing it so you guys get 3 months to experience the campaign stories before they're gone!"
I wound up having almost the perfect time as a first time player back in season 9
Same thing happened with forsaken
sped run through the first 3 campaigns, and had the story of osiris and saint fresh in my mind for season 9 story
First chest per week will drop gear, but every chest after will drop spoils.
Alternatively, there are up to 120 spoils you can claim per week across three characters if you use checkpoint bots.
That's why we're still using Sleeper for it yeah
it's a known bug
usually it took a very long while for bungie to fix :<
Potentially not a bug, a feature at this point. It's more likely they just change the color of the numbers
I mean... they could do that
but they said themself it's a bug
unless they can't / got too lazy / not enough people, then they will switch it into a "feature"
What are some good arc titan ove exotic armor I should use are
Skullfort
Not necessarily, the wording is ambiguous. From the TWAB Known Issues List:
When damaging Shrieker bosses in the Sundered Doctrine dungeon, players receive critical damage feedback, but damage is actually regular base damage.
It doesn't say if regular base damage is the bug or the feedback itself is.

so you mean...
"players receive critical damage feedback", "but damage is actually regular base damage"
We dont know which one in this is the bug ?
Correct
are raid challenges available if its not the weekly raid?
such as golgoroth challenge for example
An Insurmountable Skullfort, Hazardous Propulsion, Cuirass of the Falling Star
What do they do?
Some are, check what challenges are avalible for the week
;rotation

Are all primary weapons considered kinetic or non element weapons kinetic?
Primary weapons usually refers to the ammo type and can be in the first or second sot.
Kinetic means no element and can only be in the top slot (primary or special ammo) sans one exotic power weapon
Does bleakwatcher damage count as grenade damage? And if it so does it work with ashes to ashes?
No
Or wait, am I confusing it with arc soul
Anyone want a free Lightfall dlc steam key I bought more that one on accident dm me if you want it
Could someone help me out here ? I’m stuck on this part of the quest and don’t see what i need to do
look at the last city section, and see which game mode it has tracked
Did you grab the quest from the Shaping Slab?
some of the nodes have multiple modes on them
nothings is tracked but the slab , there’s no quest on it
no quest to grab
did you check the second page?
yeah no second page
how does alethonym work?
would you mind screen shotting your episode tab of your quests?
yes 1 moment i’m restarting
enemies killed or stuck with its bullets drop vestiges that you can pick up to fill the meter
once the meter reaches half or full you can special reload to load an ammo brick into your next shot
I'm having trouble unlocking new tonic recipes for Act 2 of Revenant , what activities do I need to do?
what tonics are you trying to unlock?
Tomb of elders and some others
then you run tomb of elders to get tomb flakes
whats diff about the shot
and unlock the tonics by crafting tomb of elders tonics
i cant find the veteran legend ornament sets in the appearance customization screen when I have it unlocked in my collections for my Warlock. Can anyone help me out with this problem?
it spawns a heavy or special brick at the location it lands
it should already be unlocked
you already grab it from the tower kiosk?
yeah, i got the armor set when the armor set came out during the event
not the physical armor, the ornament set
then you should already have the ornaments unlocked
but i cant find the ornament and it's not appearing when i sort by unlocked
then check the special deliveries in the tower
or your inventory
after you get the normal armor collected, you go grab the ornament version from the kiosk next to banshee
omfg......thank you
So you picked up all 5 pieces of armor from the crates in the Pale Heart, then went to the Special Deliveries kiosk in the tower near Banshee/Rahool, then went to your inventory and added it to collections?
it's been sitting in my kiosk this whole time.......fml
such is life
There's one triumph that requires at least one more person
For brigs u could join a random In the same instance
No
Its the brig fireteam
Kinda says so in the description of the triumph... like it's literally right there
when does the stasis glaive come back into gm rotation
dont think it does till expansion drops
or im not sure if it does anymore
think its only going to be focusable lol
fomo’d
i got you bro
Honestly not really worth having anyway. Iron Banner comes back in a week, pick up Tinasha's instead
alr have it
Want glaive for the block
this is not true
bungie has not released drop rates for ice breaker or any exotic for that matter
reddit said it, it must be true
usually dungeon / raid exotic drop rate ~ 5% if I remember correctly
someone did make that calculation
still not wise to rely on those numbers
only serves to make it more frustrating every time you dont get it
my newbie friend got Euphony & Vex Myth on his first run of each raid
ice breaker was bugged for a while
Drops are so weird sometimes. I got Euphony on my 2nd clear, then again on my 3rd.
it is fixed now
If im in need of a catalyst that drops from strikes. Should I speed run the fastest strike i can do or the hardest nightfall I can complete? Does it affect drop rates
What should i aim for in rite of nine event? Currently going for sudden death, would like a good no surviros as well. I mainly just play pve
Alredy got a good cold comfort ages ago, tho not the recent enhancable or adept one.
Also what would be the prioity order of weapons to get from onslaught?
Thanks for any help or advice.
If it is Strikes, it tends to require the actual Vanguard Ops Playlist. Nightfalls do not increase the drop rate, but do have some of their own catalyst drops.
; catalyst
Exotic Catalysts
Catalysts are unique permanent upgrades for specific exotic weapons. Depending on when the catalyst was introduced, it may be as minor as a stat boost or as meaningful as a brand new feature of the weapon. Please note that acquiring catalysts is often very RNG-dependent or attached to an otherwise very grindy process.
all of the weapons got reprised, so you might want to take a look at the new perks cold comfort got
sudden death, wilderflight, no survivors and cold comfort are probably the only weapons worth genuinely chasing from rotn
This reminds me. I need to get hold of one of the mods to update this a bit since I've added the catalyst requirements and I'm planning on color coding it for the RNG ones.
- Sudden Death with either 12p + Trench Barrel or Discord + Redirection
- No Survivors with Heal Clip + Incandecent
- New Pacific Epitaph with Demo / Lead + Chain Reaction
npe 
is vesper boss farmable for exotic
Cold Comfort is a bit weird. It's currently worse than Hezen Vengeance, but it's worth grabbing if you think Hezen's origin might get nerfed. Old Cold Comfort with Envious Assassin + BnS is actually still worthwhile
yes
BiS Kinetic slot waveframe GL, kinda goated with Gravity Well
buts its not in rotation i thought the featuresd was shattered
I wouldn’t call any wave frame in this sandbox goated but it’s far from the worst in gotd
i want to make different loadouts that is capable of handling different type of bosses commonly seen in d2
what can i make ?
Queensbreaker
For starters, Pro Memoria isn't really a boss weapon haha
i am just showing it as an option
in case someone proceeds to suggest the wolves shotgun
question is there a limit to how much rewards i can get from the neather bc ive been doing it all day and been getting rewards but now im not getting any from chests
as close range dps option
There is no limit
Of what you currently have, Lord of Wolves and Queenbreaker are really all you need. When the meta shifts in a month, that will change however.
Your Wicked Sister might be good depending on its roll.
no limit, the chests just have rng
Get a rocket or gl for boss damage
Certain chests only drop Shards and Glimmer. If you're capped on those, you won't see any rewards
i was told it was half decent
Not bad
do you have vesper host dungeon key
Yeah, pretty decent. I'd put on Quicklaunch
if you do, there is a very good one at banshee
well what am i looking for if i were to pair queensbreaker and lord of the wolves with other weapons ?
you do need to clear the dungeon tho so clear your geforce schedule for that
Lord of Wolves, I would suggest a solar rocket if you want more damage, but a machine gun for add clear also a good ideal
You also have Parasite, which can be pretty good against certain bosses. Izanagi's Burden used to be a staple, but sees less use now though it could always become popular again with the right meta shifts. Merciless has some niche boss DPS uses, but that's for more advanced situations. Still Hunt is still alright in certain situations.
Honestly, just stick with Lord of Wolves and Queenbreaker, you'll be doing respectable damage.
lol I think you might blow yourself up if you use a rocket with Lord of Wolves
yeah...
but it still more DPS if you are careful xD
so in lord of the wolves case
I mean, lord range is not that bad...
use the call and pro memoria ?
Depends on the encounter honestly
You'd be using double specials, but if you can manage the ammo econ, go for it. Otherwise I'd swap The Call for a primary
yeah but i don't have many weapons
