Salvations edge has one encounter that's a little weird to understand at first and was overtuned at launch and that's about it

[glad crag]

No. I’m just saying I haven’t gotten around to doing them

[waxen ibex]

Tdp had an overtuned contest mode and is kinda rough on 5 feat

If you can solo flawless a dungeon released after GoA you're a top 10% player

Solo flawless vesper or sundered is more thinking than you do in any of the raids

[glad crag]

The Desert weapons don’t seem too appealing my playstyle, but I wouldn’t mind the set bonus. I don’t use heavy exotics or special linears

[waxen ibex]

Hell, vespers host literally just has harder mechanics than dsc

[waxen ibex]

Tdp is a rare case where the raid exotic is good and there's only like 2 weapons worth caring about

[runic hearth]

Why cant these be free and we only pay shipping like it use to be instead of "earning the right" to spend money lol

[turbid sorrel]

fusion, sniper, smg all good

[waxen ibex]

Antedate is really good but yeartide is arguably better

[glad crag]

I like that Vespers and Sundered were just “let’s teach the raids by using their mechanics in an easy to learn way”

[turbid sorrel]

yeartide is better yea

[waxen ibex]

Sniper is just not praedyth

Fusion good

[turbid sorrel]

but its still good

[waxen ibex]

But also I bet they add another aggressive frame fusion soon

[turbid sorrel]

dungeon maybe

dungeon defo gonna have energy rocket pulse

[waxen ibex]

I'm more guessing portal

Or event

Heavy metal aggressive fusion

[umbral lava]

Hello everyone, I havent played Destiny in almost 4 years. I want to catch up with the story by playing the game. Which version should I buy? Legacy bundle?

[waxen ibex]

Legacy collection if you can get it cheap gives you literally everything except this year's stuff

But the first dlc that came out this year sucks and is skippable

$40 campaign + raid and nothing else

Renegades isn't even out yet but will be in 2 weeks

[rapid violet]

Does anyone know a fast way to increase call to arms event rank

[waxen ibex]

Just play activities

[rapid violet]

Okay thanks

[waxen ibex]

You gain more xp in this event than most per run

Which is why the pass is so long

I went up like 5 ranks in just a couple matches of crucible

[drifting plinth]

like the story of it is quite good ive heard

but like the gameplay is dogshit

[waxen ibex]

Yeah it's a good campaign but it's also the only content in the $40 dlc

That and a raid

[drifting plinth]

ye

[rancid fern]

Not worth $40

[waxen ibex]

All the content this last 6 months was f2p portal shit

[drifting plinth]

like the only good reason to get eof somewhat recently was the greenmangaming bundle

[waxen ibex]

I mean renegades is gonna be similar

But renegades does look more substantial

Lawless frontier is like 20x the content of EoF

[calm wren]

Surely

[oblique basalt]

Talking about the matterspark stuff?

Was wondering how the story progressed on that system

[drifting plinth]

im pretty sure yeah, fuck that shit and the relocator

[oblique basalt]

Oh my

Is it annoying like lightfall was with falling off the map? Or worse

[waxen ibex]

The sieve

[waxen ibex]

Not really it's just tedious and you have to do it a lot to even get around kepler

Basically the campaign takes twice as long because the run to the next campaign mission is basically its own campaign mission because you have to do puzzle mechanics and it keeps spawning yellow bars on you

[dense crypt]

Does anyone have any idea on what title i should go for and would they be down to help i canr go for vidmaster because nobody wants to do dares

[calm wren]

Look I’m not saying that EoF has a bunch of content

I’m also not gonna say that renegades has a bunch more content when we’ve seen next to nothing of substance.

[steady sonnet]

Asked on the forum earlier but had no luck, does anyone know any Sparrows that have a unique engine sound?

[calm wren]

Also sorry thought this was discussion my bad on the tangent

[waxen ibex]

Lawless frontier is at the very least gambit 2

Gambit 2 is better than the sieve

[calm wren]

[waxen ibex]

The mini sparrow and broomstick are the only ones I know of

Also Laminos

From season of the witch

[shadow echo]

I saw on yt you can go online and get a save point for different raids is that only on PC or can console do it as well?

[raven spoke]

when people say 'reclaim' is the best way to power grind rn, do they mean any of the reclaim activities, or a particular one?

[waxen ibex]

The twitch bots just invite you by bungie id

And the game is fully crossplay so

Yes they work for anyone

[shadow echo]

I see thank you I'm still confused on the how but I'm sure I'll figure it out this weekend

[waxen ibex]

Idk if one is notably faster, if the matchmade one has good modifiers it's fine to do that one, if they suck I just do cabals watch

[waxen ibex]

I'll dm you the link and other stuff that'll help

[runic hearth]

is match game only a Crusable modifier?

[sudden egret]

no, it's a pve modifier

gm or higher iirc

[runic hearth]

so what things have it lol

[sudden egret]

in portal

[runic hearth]

Oh so im screwed lol

[sudden egret]

they all should have it

as an option

[waxen ibex]

Why

Just put it on a solo op and it's done in 5 minutes

[runic hearth]

Cause im only 331 and GM needs at least 400 lol

[waxen ibex]

It needs like 360

[brave canyon]

You could probably start doing GM at 350-360 as long as you’re not struggling too much

[waxen ibex]

at 360 I think it starts auto selecting it

[runic hearth]

I need 30 more light lvlvs lol

[waxen ibex]

That's like

Not that long

[waxen ibex]

The entire 300-400 climb is maybe 5 hours max

And that's without an event juicing your drops

[brave canyon]

Can I ask why you’re using knucklehead radar

[runic hearth]

Cause I like having info

[brave canyon]

Word

[oblique basalt]

O no

[runic hearth]

Is there some reason why I shoulnt use it? I already ahve the set bonus from my armor lol

[brave canyon]

I mean it’s your game you can play how you want too that’s just not really a good exotic to use for pve

[runic hearth]

its incredably helpful Radar all the time is great

[brave canyon]

In pve that’s not necessary

It was meta for hunters in PvP for a while but I’m not sure if it still is or not

[runic hearth]

I need a 5 star verson fo this gun lol

[runic hearth]

Oh its VERY usful in PVP particularly if you Crouch

[brave canyon]

Ya I’m not denying that there is just MUCH better exotic options for pve

[broken forge]

i mean sure, constant radar is nice but its kinda unnecessary in pve because unlike pvp, youre preventing yourself from using a different exotic that will actually bolster your gameplay and build(s)

like since youre on prismatic, celestial nighthawk could be used in place

[runic hearth]

Next week i can get this and have 5 star gear

[brave canyon]

If you look at the standouts right now for Hunter having radar while ADSing is not more useful than a high damage GG shot, the DPS you get from lucky pants, survivability and synergy with class item, etc.

[brave canyon]

It’ll change next week

[runic hearth]

Ewwww golden gun is uutter garbage

[brave canyon]

Once you get high enough run the portal for good rolls of the smoke jumper it has a much better set bonus than teshsec

[broken forge]

lets not bait in the questions channel, keep it objective

[runic hearth]

noono it is garbage no bait here

I use Stasis

[broken forge]

mask of fealty is an option then

[brave canyon]

[runic hearth]

you mean one of the 4 exiootics i dont ahve and Xur wont sell

[broken forge]

dont tell me its got bad during my absence

[broken forge]

[runic hearth]

Dude this is shit

[broken forge]

its not

paired with icebreaker its very solid

[runic hearth]

oh look another Exotic i dont have thats gated from me

[broken forge]

is there any specific reason youre running silence and squall

[runic hearth]

1 i like it two it clears adds VERY fast

[broken forge]

because i would honestly just run gg in most pve content

[dark mango]

super for ad clear?

[brave canyon]

I’m pretty sure all you have to do is focus it at the cryptarch unless they took that out

[broken forge]

i mean if your build is good enough it shouldnt be a big worry (or you can use a roaming super instead)

[dark mango]

yeah this is bait

[runic hearth]

you can only focus stuff if you own it

[dark mango]

2nd page of focusing

[brave canyon]

You used to be able to focus ones you don’t own on the last page

Just costed a cipher

[dark mango]

it’s still there

[brave canyon]

Ahh perfect

[rancid fern]

Still works

[dark mango]

just doesn’t work for edge of fate exotics

[brave canyon]

Then your exotics are not gated

You just have to focus them

[broken forge]

wait they removed expansion requirements for armour?

[runic hearth]

no weapons

[waxen ibex]

I don't think so?

[dark mango]

erm

[broken forge]

it seems i misunderstood

[brave canyon]

Well I assumed they had TFS because they have prismatic

[dark mango]

when were we talking abt weapons

[broken forge]

they were talking about icebreaker

[waxen ibex]

The second page of rahool lets you focus any exotic armor you don't own for a cipher

[broken forge]

they replied directly to my icebreaker suggestion

[runic hearth]

I was talking about getting Icebreaker

Its gated from me.....

[waxen ibex]

Oh icebreaker is mid anyway

[runic hearth]

if its anything like D1 Icebreaker no its not

[brave canyon]

I mean expecting to pay for content that costs money to produce isn’t something completely out of this world

[loud lotus]

How long does koregos on normal dp last for one phase (with extensions)

[broken forge]

ehh i disagree, surprisingly solid in mask of fealty builds or anything with crystal gen

[runic hearth]

thats not what i mean by gated I have all the expantions

[broken forge]

i assume you dont have the final shape dungeon key in that case?

[brave canyon]

That was my guess

[runic hearth]

I dont even know what that is lol

[broken forge]

the final shape dungeon key gives you access to vespers host and sundered doctrine dungeons

if you bought the deluxe of final shape, you get it with the deluxe edition

[runic hearth]

I have Every delux eddition lol

[broken forge]

so, icebreaker isnt gated

[brave canyon]

Well if you have TFS deluxe that dungeon key was included

[broken forge]

youre quite literally not gated from earning icebreaker

[dark mango]

it is but in the context of d2 it’s not allat

[broken forge]

idk how exotic farming works now but just do the final encounter per three class for your chance of icebreaker

[runic hearth]

So where is vespers host again?

[sudden egret]

Europa

[gilded vortex]

How high do the weapon tiers go? I thought 5 was the max but I found a sword that is 6 and the dots don’t even fit in the icon.

[glad crag]

It’s bug

[gilded vortex]

Ah ok. Is it still something good? It has a different design too.

[glad crag]

I think it’s just buffing 2% I saw somewhere

[gilded vortex]

…light.gg says it’s “holofoil”? lol, I didn’t know that was a thing.

[glad crag]

The design is because yeah it’s holofoil

Think shiny but for weapons

[gilded vortex]

I was about to make a shiny Pokémon joke

[wary shore]

Why haven’t I got the khvostov even though I’ve opened all the region chests and all the cysts completed and I can’t open the legendary khvostov chest

[runic hearth]

did you compleate the Campain?

[wary shore]

The whole thing yeah

[covert herald]

Are you sure you’ve gotten all of the things you need to collect to open the chest?

[wary shore]

100% I counted everything

I even did some of it with the clan

[twin peak]

all 9 gold chests

all 6 cysts

[torn pollen]

if i do presage on normal, can i still get the upgrade? III to IV?

[covert herald]

Before that, they apparently can’t open the legendary Khvostov chest

[covert herald]

Just to make sure, have you completed the One Man’s Trash triumph in the Secrets section of the Pale Heart triumphs?

[twin peak]

i feel somewhat that you were trying to get them to double check without spoilers

[covert herald]

Wdym?

[wary shore]

Are you saying that cuz I opened them ages ago I can’t get the khvostov?

[covert herald]

What?

[covert herald]

Oh wait ignore this I was stupid

[wary shore]

I opened all the chests before I started the missions

[twin peak]

nvm my weird interpretation

[covert herald]

No yeah that’s not an issue, my brain did a blunder

[wary shore]

Yeah I have

I’ve got all the mini travelers so I’ve got the chest for the exotic version but I just can’t get the legendary one

[covert herald]

Hmm

[twin peak]

do u have a lost encryption code?

[wary shore]

I can’t find them anywhere. Not in my inventory and not in my postmaster

[twin peak]

hmm

is ur inventory full?

[wary shore]

Even though I’ve done everything for it

[wary shore]

Yeah with like season 9 stuff lol

[twin peak]

like 50/50?

[covert herald]

I don’t recall if the Lost Encryption Bits are supposed to show up in your inventory tbh

Been a hot minute since I did all this

[wary shore]

My inventory

[twin peak]

hmm

yeah get rid of some stuff there

[wary shore]

Postmaster

[twin peak]

memory serves me right, u can just turn ur old season stuff into glimmer

did u do them on another character?

[waxen ibex]

pls clear out your inventory if you want to expect things to not break

even if you wanna hoard old shit delete the stuff that isnt gone like blind well charges at least

[covert herald]

Okay nvm the Lost Encryption Bits are supposed to be a physical inventory item

I’m not sure what this means for you tbh

[wary shore]

Wdym

[twin peak]

fish to the rescue?

[waxen ibex]

this was a bug a year ago where doing it with full inventory made them vanish

because they dont go to postmaster

the physical item in your inventory doesn't matter now and you still get the lost encryption code after hitting all 9 region chests and all 6 cysts

but please get inventory slots

[twin peak]

dismantle most of ur green stuff

[wary shore]

I’ve just opened 4 slots

[twin peak]

use ur forsaken ciphers sometime

[waxen ibex]

ok so just ignore that one of the things is missing now because the item doesnt matter and it's still tracked

[wary shore]

Well I’ve tried opening it already and nothing

Hold on I’ll go to it and show you

See what I mean

[loud lotus]

does threadling damage scale with a specific stat or is it independant?

[high lily]

dont you have to spend the mote of light back at the Lost City, inside the speaker's chamber thing

and then after get the encryption bit to turn the legendary Khvostov into the exotic by opening the chest shown above

[dark mango]

depends on the source of the threadlings

[wary shore]

That’s to get the exotic version

For the exotic yet I have all 17 motes of light

[high lily]

can you send a screenshot of your map?

[wary shore]

Is that what you wanted,

?*

[high lily]

yea i got no idea why its not working

[wary shore]

No one I’ve talked to about it does it’s just not making any sense at all

All I wanted was the gun lol

Would it just be easier if I restart it?

[pastel zealot]

have you tried looking up a video guide?

[twin peak]

excision isn’t necessary right

[twin peak]

as in?

[wary shore]

Loads of em

[wary shore]

Use another character

[twin peak]

try on another character

[high lily]

i dont remember

[twin peak]

check their inventory

[wary shore]

Ok cuz i give up doing it on my main character

[rotund thorn]

So im in the first mission of the final shape and im at the end i just unlocked prismatic it says to eleminate all combatants but i did already is it glitched? i really dont wanna restart this

[mossy citrus]

What’s a good arc exotic to use rn

[torn pollen]

are there issues with my match making if i just solod a fireteam ops

[sudden egret]

Depends which one you did. They don’t all have matchmaking.

[sudden egret]

Dps or ad clear?

[torn pollen]

ah.

[mossy citrus]

Ad clear

[sudden egret]

Trinity ghoul, graviton spike, ergo sum arc conductor

[mossy citrus]

Is risk runner good or no

Huh

[mossy citrus]

Is risk runner any good

[sudden egret]

<@&1019968308973416448>

[turbid talon]

Just a scam bot.

Links and some phrases are typically automodded, so some bots use images as a workaround.

[sudden egret]

If the enemy is shooting you with arc

[broken forge]

@umbral eagle kill

[turbid talon]

It's in multiple channels bee tee dubs

[mossy citrus]

Okay

[turbid talon]

Riskrunner was actually used in the Day 1 back when Deep Stone Crypt first released. It's solid damage reduction and ad clear... but since it only activates on taking Arc damage, it's... situational.

Most people find Fallen to be the most consistent enemy type to fight with it.

[mossy citrus]

Don’t cabal use arc weapons?

[turbid talon]

All factions have some Arc damage.

But Fallen have their most common chaff units use Arc.

[covert herald]

Fear not, the banscam knows all

[turbid talon]

I believe the most common element amongst Cabal is Solar.

truly you are the Guardians of the galaxy

[umbral eagle]

Usually between arc and solar. Centurions sometimes have the void cannons.

God why do i remember this

[turbid talon]

I guess you could say you've still got a
Smattering of knowledge

[umbral eagle]

Bros got a maelstrom of puns

[covert herald]

I guess you could say you’re about to be banned

[umbral eagle]

I approve

[torn pollen]

are there any general warlock exotics that buff the freezing enemies playstyle? with grenades/melees

wait... if i got arsenal expansion II this week, i cant get the 5th weapon this week...?

[coral folio]

I believe doing the challenges unlocks the weapons to get for the next week

Not the current week

[torn pollen]

NOOOO so i cant get the bow that allegedly gives you orbs of power every two hits?

orbs attrition + kinetic tremor i believe

[coral folio]

I believe you might be able to? I'm pretty sure there's an option to unlock what you missed with bright dust

The roll you're looking for is the last bow in the row for weapons

There's also one in the third slot

[torn pollen]

third slot works too?

[coral folio]

...And the second lmao

I'm looking rn

[torn pollen]

hmmm... its darked out for me...

[coral folio]

If you inspect the weapons, you can see they have more rolls to choose

[torn pollen]

where can i see them? i dont exactly have a ton of bright dust to spend 😭

i got like 4k

[coral folio]

I'm not entirely sure

All of mine are unlocked for the week

Are you looking at Zavala rn?

[torn pollen]

yurp

[zinc basin]

#💻tech-support (ignore i couldnt find channel)

[torn pollen]

darked out for me...

[coral folio]

Ohhhhh I didn't realize that's how it worked, you unlock the slots but if you don't get far enough you don't get it free

[torn pollen]

oh no....

is that bad for me

[coral folio]

The roll you're looking for should be both the second and third slots that you have available

[coral folio]

I think you just have to spend bright dust

Unfortunate but not too bad

If you hover over the available slots, I think you have the option

[torn pollen]

hmm... is there anywhere i can see them w/o paying xD

[coral folio]

If you give me a moment I can show the bows in the second and third slot

Need to wait for my console to upload the screenshots lol

[torn pollen]

thanks bro 🙏

[coral folio]

First image is the bow in the second slot, second image is the bow in the third slot

Both have Attrition Orbs + Kinetic Tremors

[torn pollen]

oh my god... demolitionist... ooga booga...

[coral folio]

That's so real lol

[torn pollen]

the main difference is the uhh

middle row for both columns yeah

[coral folio]

Pretty much yeah

One of the top slots is different as well

I think these should be tier 5 for you? I'm not fully sure if it's based on power level / guardian rank

[torn pollen]

i'll probably run the second slot one

[torn pollen]

i think vanguard armory stuff is all t5

ohhhh the bright dust doesnt BUY the thing

it lets you see it

aha

[coral folio]

Just looking at it, or gives you the option to get it?

[torn pollen]

probably option, but my guardian is full of Faustus Declines

is a sfa/ofa romanti ceath a godroll?

[woven tree]

no

you want either chain react or destab on 4th

atleast both of the perk mentioned above to pair with sfa

but i think the to go choice for romantic death is repulsor, destab since the weapon itself already have decent reload speed

[high lily]

definitely dont spend it on the vanguard arms rewards

[torn pollen]

so like

[high lily]

the bow sucks

if it were Mint Retrograde and it had a good roll sure, but its a waste otherwise

[torn pollen]

what is up with people and mint retrograde? i keep hearing about it

[high lily]

its very strong

overtuned damage and can stun 2 types of champions because of the artifact currently

[torn pollen]

that doesnot sound balanced but its only a pve weapon right

[woven tree]

it is a pve weapon

some people like to bring it to pvp tho

[oblique basalt]

Where does one find mint at? I got one but want to find better rolls

[high lily]

pinnacle ops

[oblique basalt]

Sweet thanks

[scenic edge]

Anyone know if we will get a new artifact in Renegades, or another row on the current one?

[dark mango]

new artifact

new dlc = new season

[scenic edge]

Sweet! thanks

[azure prism]

are there any abilities that can pop rivens eyes aside from golden gun, arcane needle, and throwing knife?

[oblique basalt]

Can I spawn multiple specters in a short time frame with the radiant dance machines?

[azure prism]

yes

[oblique basalt]

Incredible thanks

[hexed lynx]

Does anyone know what the fastest way to earn event xp is? Not score

[unique ruin]

Does score lock mean you won’t lose progress or you can’t gain anymore?

[unborn cloak]

Before scores are locked, you're competing against everyone and the percentages are based on everyone's score, so if more people get higher scores, your placement can drop as people overtake you and the average becomes higher

After scores are locked, no new scores can affect the score requirements for the top 50/30/10/1% even if more people score higher or lower

So if you can't drop in placement

[unborn river]

i am a bit confused about the call to arms scoring.
eg. for salt mines it said if i get into top30% id get 50 points. I did not. did i misread something?

[raven spoke]

hey so on a new character, in order to get get subclasses like prismatic, do i have to redo the campaigns on that character even if i have previously completed it?

[pearl plinth]

yes

[unborn cloak]

It's wrong, its 1 > 5 > 10 > 50 > 100

[torn pollen]

could a chromatic fire stasis build work with Dead Man's Tale for adclear?

[unborn cloak]

chromatic fire is horrid and DMT is horrid in pve

it'll technically work but like

[drifting plinth]

ye

[unborn cloak]

dont expect it to be good

[drifting plinth]

if you want to do a stasislock build, use iceflare bolts with ice breaker

ive tried it and it worked well enough

[torn pollen]

ice breaker...? is that an exotic

[drifting plinth]

yes

a dungeon exotic unfortunately

[torn pollen]

damn

[drifting plinth]

whenever i play a stasis build in pve i always use it

[torn pollen]

wait i cant infuse gear from a warlock into my titan to boost up to 300?

ewwww

[drifting plinth]

no

you cannot

id recommend doing pvp to get your other chars up to light

it's the method i use

[torn pollen]

no one is queueing crucible

[drifting plinth]

unless your alt char is alr above the power threshold you need to get A rank

[torn pollen]

straight 200 drops or

i need to boost up

[drifting plinth]

quite a few people are doing the call to arms pvp

[torn pollen]

cuz my titan is OLD old like base 10 power

[drifting plinth]

it will give you drops that are based off your highest account wide equippable power

so if your warlock is 300, your titan will get drops as though your titan was also 300

in all activities

but im suggesting pvp cause in pvp you do not need to have a high light level equipped to be able to run activities to get a good score

[torn pollen]

nice

[torn pollen]

good score and pvp 😭 js let me bottom frag and get them rewards lord shaxx

[drifting plinth]

it'll still be good enough to boost your char to the point where you can run pve activities at a high enough reward score to fully level it up

[wanton blade]

Where can i get this armor set?

[pearl plinth]

not a set, the helmet and robes are both legendary ornaments that interact with solipsism though. eververse for those two

[runic hearth]

for a warlock that looks nice

[pearl plinth]

arms are astral stasis drake and I think the legs might be too?

and then of course solipsism

[unborn river]

Ok so i gotta be top 10% in two activities for the helmet. Do you have a guesstimate on what power i need to have to make that possible? im on 390 currently

[waxen ibex]

you can probably already hit top 10% as-is

max modifiers on salt mine gm and then do one pvp game where you do moderately good

[waxen ibex]

keep in mind for salt mines you need to get the rng spawn of the hvt

even with that it's still the easiest activity to score in rn

you just have to reset a lot sometime

[thorny bronze]

whats the best way to get enhacement prisms and ascendant shards nowadays?

[waxen ibex]

im ngl man it's all just from portal

they give you so much of that shit at 500 power i literally cannot spend it

[thorny bronze]

😭

any decent way to get stuff at 350PL?

[waxen ibex]

i was dropping them all the way up

just do activities idk

they get more common as you go

[coral folio]

I'm at max resources for prisms and shards and I was at 350 a few days ago

I've gotten both from doing GM difficulty Coil / Proving Grounds in the event portal

Not the matchmade version

[waxen ibex]

genuinely like

i maxed out my shit 3 times while just farming for the 1% salt mines hvt spawn

gm already drops a fuckton

it's like old gm nightfall rewards but you get it from doing a lost sector

[mortal plinth]

I just came baxk to destiny is it even possible to complete this new event in 4 days

[drifting plinth]

if you play all day every day maybe

[coral folio]

What light level are you

[woven tree]

just assuming at 300 ( from zavalar chest)

if you want to only get the helmet, its pretty much possible, but its gonna be tought to get the score up

if you are saying as in "completing the new event" as in max out the pass reward to 40, its possible, just play casually

[coral folio]

I got top 10% at around 340 or 350 doing GM Proving Grounds / Coil

With all the highest modifiers

[mortal plinth]

270

[coral folio]

Getting 1% definitely needs around power level 400 I think, I've maxed out the possible score as far as it can go from 340-390 and I'm getting closer each time as my power goes up

[mortal plinth]

What chest

[coral folio]

Grab the chest near Zavala, it'll get you to power level 300

[mortal plinth]

Alr

[coral folio]

In the tower

[drifting plinth]

1% needs 500

bro

if you dont want to be the single sweaties player ever

[coral folio]

From there, I would grind your power as much as possible to around 340 to 350
If you can do GM content for Proving Grounds / Coil / Heliostat it's definitely possible

[mortal plinth]

Is solo ops still the way to go

For power grind

[coral folio]

Last time I checked my scores, I was like 40k points away or something from top 1% and I'm at 390

[coral folio]

I think so? Doing the Salt Mines in the event tab would probably be the fastest

Running that over and over again is mind numbingly boring though so I didn't bother

[mortal plinth]

As for the pass i doubt that i can max it in 4 days

[coral folio]

Yeahhhhh I think you have to cut your losses there

It's very slow getting xp for it

[mortal plinth]

Theres new weapons coming with the dlc anyways

Doubt ill use these ones anyway

[coral folio]

The only really good rewards are the Renegades vouchers, the exotic ornament and the finisher in the event track

[mortal plinth]

What are the vouchers

[drifting plinth]

the eager edge sword will likely still stay the only new gear eager dge

[distant oxide]

if i wanna spam solo ops, how do i save my modifers? I know you have to do the normal mode a few times but i did that a while ago and it still makes me do it manually

[drifting plinth]

*edge

so id try to get that

[woven tree]

ye

also drip on the sword is 💅🏻

one of the good looking sword

[jaunty whale]

Do you still have the portal tutorial section

[coral folio]

There's vouchers in the reward track for the event, which basically gives you a boost in getting the new gear early once the DLC drops

Once the DLC drops you can open them and get some of the weapons (Maybe armor? Not sure)

[mortal plinth]

Where in the track is it?

[coral folio]

There's several throughout the track

They kind of look like boxes

The icon for it

[distant oxide]

dont think so? where would that be

[mortal plinth]

Might have to dump some silver

Pretty sure i got some remaining silver

[distant oxide]

what i see:

[coral folio]

That would be 4k silver if you were to buy all 40 levels

Idk if that's worth it

[jaunty whale]

Like when you are selecting difficulties after choosing an activity, do you see a tutorial difficulty

[mortal plinth]

Ik but i should be able to get like 10-20

On my own

Unless its hard to get the levels

And its only from weekly and daily quests

[distant oxide]

no, not for caldera at least

[coral folio]

It's pretty annoying to do it, the daily quests barely give any xp

[jaunty whale]

That means its there in another activity?

[coral folio]

Farming the content in the event portal gives a bit of xp but not much

[mortal plinth]

For the first time in 2 months i got free time so even this will be enjoyable

[jaunty whale]

Looks like this @distant oxide

[drifting plinth]

get that done

[mortal plinth]

But ill see how far i manage to get

If i do get to lvl 20 ill just complete the rest with silver

If not i wont spend silver at all

[jaunty whale]

You need to get that done before you can save modifiers

[distant oxide]

do i have to do the tutorial for each activity? like each location (caldera, etc)? Or just each type (fireteam, solo ops, etc)

[coral folio]

I might be blind, I never realized you could save modifiers

I've been putting it in manually the entire time

[jaunty whale]

By "saving" it just means that you dont have to keep reselecting the modifiers everytime you run the activity

[jaunty whale]

I think you just complete 7/7 steps and you're good

[distant oxide]

just once

?

[jaunty whale]

Ye

[lone depot]

Trying to get my guardian rank up. wtf is an anti-surge modifier and why cant i seem to find it under and ultimate portal activties or conquests?

[runic hearth]

ok so I found all 6 of the ghosts for the khastov now what?

[waxen ibex]

You only need to do that because there is a collectible inside each cyst

And you need to do alone in the dark 6 times to unlock all 6 cysts

[waxen ibex]

Neither of those are even related to khvostov...

That's how you get fragments for prismatic

[runic hearth]

I have 10 of these do i need more?

I also have 9 of these

it seems i need 6 more bits

Where do i get this It said something about "in to the light"

[little pewter]

at the moment you dont.

[turbid talon]

Into The Light was a temporary event directly preceding the launch of The Final Shape.

[torn pollen]

isnt the khvostov just the tutorial new light gun but better

[runic hearth]

theres an exotiic version too just like there was in D1

[turbid talon]

That's the point, yes. The Pale Heart is a realm of memories made manifest, and Khvostov was the very first gun we ever found back in Destiny 1 - or the current D2 tutorial.

[flint magnet]

how to kill vanguard high target fast in salt mine

[high lily]

completely unobtainable and most likely wont return

[pearl plinth]

superblack hunters are then an endangered species... with your help we can make them extinct

[runic hearth]

https://www.polygon.com/destiny-2-guide-walkthrough/24172527/khvostov-how-to-get-exotic-legendary-lost-encryption-locations/
this guide is wrong

[solemn zodiac]

Unsurprising but okay

[pastel zealot]

whats the point of a hunter wearing superblack if theyre gonna be invis 80% of the time

[runic hearth]

im trying to do the quest to get Exotic Khastov

[solemn zodiac]

Yeah gaming journals arent reliable, many such cases

Datto prolly has a vid, should be generally reliable

[runic hearth]

do you by chance have a link handy as i have no idea who that person is

[pastel zealot]

https://youtu.be/P9cXVhgCZjU?si=DE9eYk8KV_jM9FCT

[solemn zodiac]

Yes there

[runic hearth]

wait theres a legendary one as well for this?

[pearl plinth]

yes, which you need to get the exotic iirc

[runic hearth]

in D1 the legendary version dint comeout untill later

the exotic came out befor the legendary in D1 lol

[solemn zodiac]

Yes

[jaunty whale]

Which part are you stuck at

I think ive used the polygon guide for the traveler balls and it worked fine idk

[runic hearth]

im trying to get the last 6 thingies

I need 6 more of these

[jaunty whale]

Oh. Encryption bits?

[runic hearth]

and i think 4 more of these

[jaunty whale]

Did you get all the region chests?

[runic hearth]

Yes

hence why im on this stuff

[jaunty whale]

Then you must be missing the ones in the cysts

[runic hearth]

Im missing 6 of them lol

[jaunty whale]

You have to do Alone in the Dark repeatedly until you get all 6 cysts unlocked

[runic hearth]

I did them all while doing the missions

[runic hearth]

ya did that

[jaunty whale]

Your map is completely free of region chest icons?

[violet prairie]

So you're telling me, Warlocks don't have a 1 hit melee in pvp?

[runic hearth]

yes

[jaunty whale]

Ye because when they get one pvp gets turned upside down lol see: Forsaken era HHSN (i know its not a melee but functionally its very similar)

[jaunty whale]

Well nothing i could suggest other than try retracing your steps

I personally used the Polygon guide back in the day and got it just fine

If you want a non commentary video guide try Esoterrick's guide

[runic hearth]

Kinda wish there was a guid vid with time slides so you can skip to the one you want

[violet prairie]

Hunter throwing knife?

And Titan solar knee

[jaunty whale]

You should probably watch old videos of lightning surge when it was first released

[high lily]

Was so much fun with Dead Messenger

[jaunty whale]

Actually nvm

Penumbral blast is still a thing

[high lily]

Oh wait

I wonder if the shatter from that will scale with Winters Guile

Because it instant shatters Penumbral freeze

[jaunty whale]

Isnt that combatant only

So yeah @violet prairie try the stasis melee

[twin peak]

technically not a 1 hit

requires a follow up

[jaunty whale]

Yeah but the "helplessness" factor is similar imo

[gaunt salmon]

new to the game was wondering what i needed to start the game in order to play up to the new content

[turbid talon]

Well, the game is free and as are the Shadowkeep and Beyond Light campaigns
I'd say running the game to that point and seeing how it feels before dropping cash

[wary shore]

How many lost encryption bits do I need to get the khvostov(

?*

[gaunt salmon]

@turbid talon if i was to drop cash do i need to buy every xpac or just the newest one?

[wary shore]

???

[turbid talon]

"Need" is relative. Every expansion has content within it, which is often updated to be relevant, but the newest stuff is typically the most valuable.

There's a Legacy Collection that often goes on sale for example

[gaunt salmon]

does the legacy come with all previous xpacs?

[turbid talon]

15, if I recall.

[turbid talon]

Final Shape, and all prior - excluding the Dungeon Keys, which operate under a different monetisation system.

Then the Year of Prophesy covers Edge of Fate and Renegades

[gaunt salmon]

dungeon keys sound endgame ? im assuming you cannot get them ingame without spending currency>

[wary shore]

So why can’t I get it

[turbid talon]

Correct on both counts, though Dungeon difficulty varies.

[wary shore]

I’ve got all 15 yet I can’t open the chest?

[turbid talon]

You're at the chest in the Lost City Tower?

[wary shore]

No where we spawn in when we start but in the traveler

[turbid talon]

Oh, you're getting the Legendary one, right. Is the chest refusing you for written reason?

[wary shore]

Hold on let me go there one sec

Omg it said that I was missing stuff yesterday now I can open it. The game needs to make its mind up lol

What’s the dps difference between the legendary and exotic

[jaunty whale]

Exotic is way better for pve

[wary shore]

Legendary for pvp?

[jaunty whale]

On top of 30% more damage to red bars the ricocheting bullets are excellent adclear

[jaunty whale]

Eh. The perks are nothing special

[turbid talon]

Well, it's a Primary. Primaries don't exist for DPS.

Primaries exist for build synergy, ad clear, and stuff like that.

[wary shore]

All the hassle I’ve been through I finally have it

[wary shore]

Aah I just wanted to get a stronger weapon than old sterling

[turbid talon]

At base, they'll all do about the same damage. Khvostov (Exotic) is an exception as Exotic Primaries do more damage to red bar enemies.

The Exotic effects/perks/traits are what make them unique.

[wary shore]

Aaaah ok that makes sense. Thanks for helping me understand how the perks and stuff work 😇

[onyx lantern]

is there any good pvp 120 hcs I can get outside of ib

[quartz sun]

big bottom dollar or round robin

[gaunt salmon]

@turbid talon would it be better to wait for the new Xpac before making a purchase ?

[turbid talon]

If you'd like. You can still play the free content in the meantime and see if you actually like the game, after all.

[shadow echo]

Are there some prismatic fragments or things I can collect now that don't require me to finish the final Shape campaign fully?

Is it possible to cancel your super right after triggering it?

[pulsar hemlock]

does vexcalibur not drop from pinnacle? and is it sunsetting in renegades?

[shadow echo]

Can't get it have you to wait until 2026 it was on rotation in the legends tab like 2 week ago. You can't get it out of its exotic pinnacle mission

[pulsar hemlock]

2026?

why a month

can i atleast get intrinsic and catalyst?

[shadow echo]

Idk I'm new to the game but I watched a video on it. And from my understanding you can't get catalyst without first having the weapon I've never gotten it backwards like that but I might be wrong

[ornate halo]

Catalyst thing is true yeah

[calm wren]

It should drop from pinnacle ops if you get an A rank in the Node Avalon activity. At least that’s what it does for the Choir of One mission

And no it’s not sunsetting that’s no longer a thing, especially for weapons

[maiden turtle]

what happens if i want to play Legendary campaign of Renegades but im only 330 power level? does Legendary even take power level into account?

[pearl plinth]

iirc eof legendary was just a -20 delta so it shouldn't change for renegades

[coral cedar]

In helion stat mission when doing the code part why does sometimes i go into one room, do the correct code but it says its wrong. Then i go to another room do a different code then go back to the orginal room and it works

How do i know the order of the codes?

[deft granite]

It’s left to right

[coral cedar]

Idk i did left first but that was the last one for me

[rancid fern]

Only chaos reach & arc staff w/blight ranger can cancel their super at any time.

If you don’t lock gear you can just switch subclasses, which will immediately end/drain all abilities.

[rancid fern]

Some fragments are locked behind completion, so I’d recommend just finishing the campaign first & then collecting them all.

[rancid fern]

Outbreak perfected & rat king would disagree, I’ll admit it does require team use for max damage though.

[turbid talon]

I'm not going to bring up niche cases for someone who doesn't realise Exotics don't do more damage just because they're a different type of weapon.

[dark mango]

when would you ever use those two in a dps setting

[solemn zodiac]

the ol' rat king dps meta

[glad crag]

Haven’t seen it used in years

Tried to do something with it, but it loses all value outside of that old meta

[solemn zodiac]

mind that my calling it meta is a joke

it, like, works, for funny content and yt shorts

[glad crag]

Nah it was used

[solemn zodiac]

but usable is the only adjective you can give it

[umbral eagle]

Outbreak meta was missing half your rockets so you need to milk extra dps

[glad crag]

Way back in Leviathan

[umbral eagle]

True actually

Sweet business to kill calus

[glad crag]

Some of those old school strats were pretty good

But nowadays there’s only a small handful of exotic sidearms I’d bring out in pve

[wary shore]

Are titans mostly recommended for raids?

[dark mango]

wdym

ideally you want atleast one titan or two for damage yea

[wary shore]

I feels as if titans are mostly recommended for raids cuz of their arc ability

[dark mango]

in most cases they have the highest boss dmg

that’s why they are used

[torn pollen]

can i get the final upgrade to Dead Man's Tale on a Normal Presage or do i need to run a Legendary Difficulty Presage

[glad crag]

Bolt charge isn’t anything more special than ignitions

[dark mango]

storms keep is good to have but the damage increase is negligible

[wary shore]

What are hunters mostly used for in raids?

[glad crag]

Golden gun w/ still hunt

[wary shore]

And shall I delete one of my characters to create a titan? Cuz all I have are hunters

[glad crag]

Maybe a Tether

[dark mango]

mediocre dmg rn but that will change soon enough

[dark mango]

i would recommend having 1 of each class

there’s no benefit of having multiple characters of the same class

[glad crag]

Why 3 hunters?

[torn pollen]

whats the best class for solo content

outside of thread/prismatic

[glad crag]

Warlock

[dark mango]

there isn’t really one

ok

[wary shore]

I’m good at using hunters compared to others

[torn pollen]

what element

[glad crag]

Void or solar

[drifting plinth]

for solo stuff, solar

def solar if you're talkign dungeons

cause healing

[torn pollen]

js cuz of well?

[drifting plinth]

^that and resto

[torn pollen]

mhm

any exos?

blood magic or

[wary shore]

But I’m gonna try and do raids with the clan at some point. Even though I’m deaf lol

[drifting plinth]

sanguine and sunbracers swap for dungeons

[dark mango]

karnstein as well

[glad crag]

Contra on void, Starfire or sanguine on solar

[drifting plinth]

that too

[torn pollen]

are there any videos covering d2 builds for midgame content

like not whole Raids and all, but like portal activities

[glad crag]

Most of the good ones will work in both

The only difference is replacing dps with survivability

I’d look specifically at Plunder or Maven for solo/portal activities

[subtle swallow]

does anyone know if i still get the star wars outfit if i upgrade my year of prophecy to ultimate now?

[rancid fern]

Ultimate is only cosmetic gear and new land beyond.

So yes, you’ll get it.

[unborn cloak]

I got them when I upgraded a few weeks back

[marsh whale]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxBiDU0QDqicYRXV-c6fgv-SMA_pKi3Knv?si=cYUNLMeRZkwuV3V7

How did he charge his super so fast ?

[sudden egret]

vog raid mods

gives you super energy when you break an oracle

[marsh whale]

How do u get them

[sudden egret]

open the secret chests but they also only work on Vog raid armor and only in the raid

[marsh whale]

Does celestial nighthawk still do alot of damage, I just tried and the damage was good but like, not the crazy levels I've seen in some videos in the past, or are they using a specific strat to make the golden gun do a crap ton of damage

[rancid fern]

Damage numbers were crunched with EoF.

Prismatic has the strongest celestial.

[dark mango]

it’s still good

just not as high as cuirass tcrash

[marsh whale]

So like, does that mean the damage numbers are less only or the actual damage % to health was also reduced

[dark mango]

it was just a visual change

bosses take the same amount of dmg as before eof

[marsh whale]

Yeah I'm not talking about visuals I'm talking about the health

[dark mango]

and i just said there’s no difference in health

[marsh whale]

Is unstoppable ogre in shooting range just super tanky af or something ?

[dark mango]

our damage went down at the same rate as boss hp

[dark mango]

did you stun it

[marsh whale]

No

[tame delta]

why not

[dark mango]

are you in higher difficulty shooting range? it has power delta

[marsh whale]

But I killed it with my stasis titan without stunning it, does this mean stasis crystals is stronger than nighthawk golden gun now ?

[dark mango]

no

[marsh whale]

Oh the freeze stuns it nvm

I'm dumb

[drifting plinth]

it does not

[marsh whale]

Cus then won't they be really easy if u stun them idk

[dark mango]

maybe shatter dmg isn’t effected by enemy dr? i’m not sure tbh

shatter dmg in general is very weird

[fallen crater]

Is it possible to get any top 10% in the event at 400? I'm doing salt mines with all the modifiers I can but I still need 180k more.

[rancid fern]

You need the HVT which is rng whether it spawns or not.

[warm steeple]

been away from game for awhile. but recently unlocked class exotics during festival of the lost. mainly play an invis melee hunter . for my class exotic. is lairs handshake and spirit of the assassin the perks i want? just pulled it at xur

[drifting plinth]

no

assasin is dogshit

liar's is also mid cause it doesnt work with grapple anymore

you want hoil+cyrt

or hoil+syntho

[gusty warren]

Best strange coin farm?

[steel sundial]

portal

[glad crag]

Am I actually gonna have to drop below 550 to reach 1% now

This is insane

[steel sundial]

where did you hear that

they also locked the scores

so

[glad crag]

Well how else am I reaching it if the max modifiers arent enough

[steel sundial]

in what activity

[distant oxide]

speed

[gusty warren]

Do all activities give the same?

Like is solo ips best?

[glad crag]

Any. It didnt work for Proving or Helio or Coil

[steel sundial]

all three of those you need to kill everything and be incredibly incredibly fast

[steel sundial]

they don't but some obviously take longer

i think solo ops if you're optimized is the best way

[glad crag]

So even the non kill activities are kill based

[steel sundial]

i know coil and proving are i dont know about helio

[glad crag]

Well, Im sure it doesnt help when my teammates are somehow duping the nodes in that one helio room

[steel sundial]

i'm not sure about helio

i think it might just be speed for that one

[glad crag]

This feels impossible

[steel sundial]

it's hard

i haven thit 1% bc i really can't be bothered with teammates

[glad crag]

Ftf teammates are actually so annoying now

[steel sundial]

yeah for stuff like this i would much much much better recommend proper lfg

this is literally the top 1% of players we're talking about

you have to be a little bit elitist

[glad crag]

Im not accepting anyone under 550 and even then they rush past everything

[steel sundial]

you should pay more attention to builds

[glad crag]

except the lfg server is a ghost town now

[steel sundial]

which server, because the ones im in are popping

[drifting plinth]

id be down to try and run tomorrow

[glad crag]

im just assuming they know how to use it because I sure wouldnt

[glad crag]

the usual one

The main one

[drifting plinth]

try some of the other ones

[glad crag]

the only ones im not in are the subreddits and that just seems like a waste of time

[drifting plinth]

it prob is

cause redditors are even dumber than ftf players

[steel sundial]

i see like 10 posts in the last 20 minutes in the big lfg

[glad crag]

The main sever has like 4 different portal channels

[steel sundial]

so

[glad crag]

10 posts

used to be more

[steel sundial]

thats a lot

[glad crag]

shame

[steel sundial]

and hats only in one channel

[empty birch]

Is there anyway to mass delete vault items

[steel sundial]

not really

[empty birch]

I cant seem to do it through dim

[drifting plinth]

api cannot delete items

[empty birch]

Every piece of old armor i had is now useless and my vault is now full so i want to get rid of it all but i see no fast way

Ig 1 by 1 is fine

[drifting plinth]

might not be every

if it has for example, weapon+super spike

[empty birch]

ig

[drifting plinth]

tldr, old armor should only be kept if it has illegal stat combos

and the only helpful one is super+weapons for megaminmaxing

tbh

[steel sundial]

i deleted all old armor

you can get illegal distributions with fonts

which for megaminmaxing is not an issue because of wells and stacks on stacks/time dilation

[drifting plinth]

i keep a few very specific pieces of old armor for pvp

[empty birch]

vault space should be increased tbh

[steel sundial]

it is

vault is also getting a bunch of search functions and filters and such

700 -> 1000

[empty birch]

Oh kinda peak

With renegadee?

[drifting plinth]

FINALLLY DIM WONT BE FUCKING MANDATORY

[steel sundial]

yup

[drifting plinth]

hopefully

though ill still use dim

cause im used to using it

[steel sundial]

well it still probably will be for loadouts and pulling gear and stuff

[empty birch]

Can they also make loadouts deleteable

Lol

Yeah

[drifting plinth]

true

[steel sundial]

you can

using dim

[drifting plinth]

indeed

like they should literally just put dim in the game

like actually

[steel sundial]

exactly

[drifting plinth]

like literally make it access the desktop website

[empty birch]

required addons: dim

On steam store

[steel sundial]

i forgot dim had a desktop app

i just use the site

[drifting plinth]

so do i

[empty birch]

why do i have 4 starfire protocols

[drifting plinth]

idk

[steel sundial]

who knows

[drifting plinth]

i keep a bunch of random gabage

[steel sundial]

keep whichever one has the highest grenade

[drifting plinth]

*garbage

[empty birch]

i also have the solstice robes and stuff from like 3 years ago

[steel sundial]

fashion!

[empty birch]

wait this is like a peak enhancement prism farm

Just amass alot of random stuff in your vault

Then delete it

[drifting plinth]

my vault literaly looks like this

[steel sundial]

they kind of drop randomly everywhere now

[drifting plinth]

like i have a ton of actual dogshit in there

[steel sundial]

idk i always have max

[empty birch]

Omg i have like 6 memory of caydes

I also have a bunch of old materials stashed in here

“Fizzled crucible token”

[coral cedar]

Same

Better to delete em

They take up space

[zealous stream]

Question since the points on call to arms has been locked can I keep playing it to increase the points or it doesn't make no difference

[pastel zealot]

you can keep playing and increase your score

whats been locked are the point thresholds

[zealous stream]

Is that true?

[pastel zealot]

aka, the point amount you need to have to go from one tier to another

[zealous stream]

Ohhhh

I'm only like 331 or something I can't remember and with like 19 points

[empty birch]

Whats a good energy weapon to go with new malpais?

[pastel zealot]

unless you can convince people at 475 power to bring you into ultimate difficulty i dont find it likely youll be able to get all rewards from the event

[zealous stream]

Yea I feel that

Won't be possible

[dark mango]

mida mini tool or antedate

[drifting plinth]

yeah

[empty birch]

Good thing i picked one of those up from zavala a week back

[shadow echo]

Is the Qua Nilus good for pvp or poopoo?

[teal jackal]

am i a war criminal i havent played destiny 2 in forever and i have no clue whats going on i stoped paying attention after something with the hive i've been playing destiny 1 ever since ._.

[turbid sorrel]

Insta shard in both

[twin cave]

hi yall.... its rly frickin difficult to find ppl atm, anybody wanna run some ultimatum fireteam ops w me? tryna get the collectibles and push light but cant do it cus matchmaking is turned off when targeting certain fireteam strikes

am conq x14 fwiw

[waxen ibex]

You can just solo it lol

Ultimate difficulty isn't balanced to be all that hard and boons trivialize it

[twin cave]

brotha i barely wanna play this game to begin w, let alone solo

[waxen ibex]

You're trying to cite conq 14 for this you can do solo ultimate

It's not even close to hard

[twin cave]

Oh shit ultimate is 30 under now??

[glad crag]

Yeah

That’s not the challenge

[twin cave]

wasnt it 50 under

[glad crag]

No, the only 50 under Ultimates are the conquests

I don’t know if I’ll try those again

Ain’t even needed for guilding

[twin cave]

i swear ft ops used to be 50 under.. okay cool 30 under is fkn ez ill just run it

ty

[glad crag]

Easier when you add Grenadier and the modifier that adds a stacking dmg bonus

Got me my 1% thanks to it. Now I’m at 500 pts and can be done with this

[empty birch]

Whats a bette roll on relativism imost light + verity or inmost light + coyote

[turbid sorrel]

inmost verity

if those are your only options

[wanton blade]

What character stat(s) should i focus on for pve for my warlock, im lost and am not sure

[turbid sorrel]

depends on the exotic

[wanton blade]

So whatever the exotic armor piece excells in i just do that?

[glad crag]

Grenade > Super > Melee is my choice. The right fragments and mods will have your rift up fast

[glad crag]

Well most likely you’re using something that either boosts grenade or melee

[deep fiber]

Does anyone have the exotic mission rotator

schedule

[wanton blade]

Now how do i specifically try to find items with these stats? I see people with triple 100s which i can hardly get a single 100

[surreal pond]

How do I change archetype of armor from xur?

I am trying to switch this but its not doing anything

[dark mango]

it’s still random

focus mod just improves the odds a bit

[surreal pond]

but can I even change it?

because on none of the armors archetypes changing at all

[pulsar hemlock]

so i attuned last thursday but how do i accuire it?

[pliant yacht]

Hey Ive been having some issues with the salt mines and was wondering if anyone else was having them. Yesterday I was able to get 1.88 million from playing on Master mode with a bunch of modifiers but today Ive been only able to get about 400k as a score per master run. Is it because of deaths (cuz I sadly die about once per run) or is it because of low power (im at 310)?

[shadow echo]

Can you change the stats of the vanguard rewards with your ghost?

[empty birch]

I just realized

Do upgrade modules not exist anymore

Lol

[waxen ibex]

Yes and 30 under is actually only around as hard as 20 under in tfs

[empty birch]

yeah

[waxen ibex]

Yes but it's a bug and also won't do what you're expecting

Armor in vendors changes rolls depending on ghost mod but it's random

It's weird

[surreal pond]

Its not random I just tried

specific mod will give specific archetype on specific armor

you can change to another mod and then change back

and it will give you always same archetype

my bad I guess I thought I was replying to somebody else

but xur archetypes are not random

and some armor doesnt even change archetype at all no matter what mod you have

[waxen ibex]

...

It's random what archetype things are

But consistent for a given mod

[surreal pond]

well thats very obvious

[waxen ibex]

You just can't predict what it'll be

[surreal pond]

but if you keep changing mods in hopes of getting your wanted archetype it wont work

[waxen ibex]

Ok so you're just repeating the same thing I said

There is no problem

[surreal pond]

but why only some of armor has different archetypes

what I need does not change archetype no matter what mod on ghost I have

[glad crag]

The key is using the right ghost mod and also farming

[twin cave]

?? are some of the missives collectibles from strikes bugged? tryna get them for seasonal triumph

[glad crag]

In terms of maximizing a single stat per armor piece, youd want to look for a 30 in the stat you want. And if its Tier 5, youd want the focus to also be on that. In total, with the 30 + 10 stat mod + 5 focus, the highest a single stat can be is 45 per piece

[glad crag]

some of them were, but I thought they auto completed those

[twin cave]

uhhh none of them are completed for me?

[glad crag]

which activities

[twin cave]

all of them

[twin cave]

they said they would?

[glad crag]

The ones on Reclaim and some of the battlegrounds I believe

They were either fixed or auto completed

[empty birch]

What does the new malpais catalyst do

[dark mango]

explosions unravel near by targets

[glad crag]

Unravels target

[shadow echo]

does anything happen when u shoot this white ball in the final shape?

[twin cave]

apparently theres a call to arms chest that drops a bunch of high light gear? where do we access this chest

[high lily]

not Call to Arms specific. the chest is next to Zavala for 300 power gear

[waxen ibex]

It's literally flashing on your screen when you load into the tower

And is a daily pickup

[twin cave]

ok gotchya ty

is there a free sparrow with guns we can get somewhere?

[empty birch]

Nice. How do i unlock it may i ask?

[rancid fern]

These are the available archetypes, just pick the archetype that best fits what you want.
T5 has stats arranged as follows, primary 30, secondary 25, tertiary 20 (rng of the other 4 stats), tuning stat (rng between all 6 stats).
Example: paragon, 30 super, 25 (+5 tuning) melee, 20 grenade.

[empty birch]

Nevermind im an idiot

[silent vault]

so for some reason there is barely any info on this, but can the whirling ovation catalyst only drop in epic after the epic raid quest? or can you do that shit in normal without the quest?

[unborn river]

does the score for call to arms depend on my max account power or the power of my equipped gear?

[glad crag]

Equipped gear, but its essentially irrelevant

[waxen ibex]

Think there's only like one of those and it's from an event and is much slower than normal sparrows

[waxen ibex]

The call to arms score is mostly ignoring power

The lower power you are the higher the compensation multiplier they give you

It's actually a little stronger than what you get from being higher power even so 530 power gets higher scores than 550 by a bit

The difficulty is the biggest difference maker for the score

This is a questions thread not the discussion thread. If you have the answer it’s encouraged to share it, otherwise no reason to bash others.

[twin cave]

what was that one d2 website that tracks your light gains? whats your lowest light piece and such

d2 power bar, thast what it was

[drifting plinth]

DIM also does that

and a ton of other cool shit

[twin cave]

yea io had no idea until yall mlentioend tbh lmao

[drifting plinth]

like actually, having DIM or some kind of companion app if on console(can also be DIM) is nearly mandatory for this game

like they deadass need to put dim in the game

[grizzled cedar]

Why is masterworking legendary gear so expensive now?

[rancid fern]

Because the mod energy is already available.

[grizzled cedar]

So they made masterworking cost I think it was 3 ascendant shards?

[high lily]

materials are very easy to get these days

[turbid sorrel]

the costs are still insane to me tho

3 golf balls n a shit ton of prisms for legendary armour

not even exotic

[grizzled cedar]

Is it more for exotic?

[turbid sorrel]

same

but for exotic it makes sense

[grizzled cedar]

That's a bit of a piss take then

[turbid sorrel]

yea

[twin cave]

did bungie already auto complete the missives seasonal triumph?

cus none of mine are auto completed

[high lily]

they auto collected some of the bugged data pads, but afaik they never auto completed an entire challenge

[twin cave]

ugh

ok

[high lily]

you can get back 75% of that in a single ultimate reclaim

[turbid sorrel]

ew

[rancid fern]

Why are you trying to masterwork armor? There’s barely even any reason to now, well other than the gold border so you don’t delete it. Master-working adds very little benefit to do so.

[twin cave]

the sparrow kills seasonal triumph is the biggest troll triumph

[turbid sorrel]

how many per run

i still aint doing reclaim just curious

[high lily]

you can do that anywhere

[high lily]

i got 2-3 ascendant shards in a single reclaim

maybe more if that didnt cap me

[grizzled cedar]

Mainly the gold border😭😭 but it adds 15 stat points

[twin cave]

has to be in portal activities
