Just getting them from the pass and challenges and shit

I have thousands I always buy exotic engrams with them

[quiet plover]

perfect so not smth i can exactly "farm" i just get them from d oing things

would you say its worth buy ing the ultimate version of it? to get the new lang beyond sniper etc

[brave canyon]

I don’t know if there is a best farm for them because I’ve never farmed them

[quiet plover]

valid

[brave canyon]

That might be a Google/Youtube question

[quiet plover]

alrighty ill check them out and see if its worth ty ty

[brave canyon]

I have bought the ultimate edition of every Destiny DLC since they started doing it and I feel that it’s always been the best value.

I thought the collectors edition of TFS for the tower and that was worth it too

[quiet plover]

it probally is since you get a few of the items just straight up

nicee

[brave canyon]

You make a one time purchase and get everything for the entire content year and you get all the extra cosmetic shit for pre ordering and what not

It’s 100% the best purchase

[quiet plover]

oh hell yeah thats hella worth it then

[brave canyon]

And saving up $80-100 every year isn’t much of a task at all

[quiet plover]

exaclty so it def seems like the main thing

AND I CAN BE GREVIOUS IF I BUY IT???

oh hell yeah

[brave canyon]

Yes you can

Rn is prime hustling szn too if you short some money go shovel them driveways

[quiet plover]

i might have to XD seems hella worth it

[brave canyon]

Ya like I said I have bought the deluxe/ultimate edition of every single D2 DLC since it became an option and I’ve never once regretted it

So simple I have to worry about one purchase a year to get all of the content

Def the best value

[quiet plover]

hell yeah then ill start farming some battlepass levels in the mean time so once i get it i can swim in all the rewards

might aswell buy this one with the bundle too for the chronologs

DAYUM th is helmet is nice

[brave canyon]

Ya you’ll be able to go to monument for the EoF battle pass shit which you’ll have to buy iirc unless you unlocked it during that season just didn’t have the pass. Not sure how that would work. But then you’ll obviously be able to earn rewards from current pass. The only one you wouldn’t have any access to yet is the Ash and Iron one.

[quiet plover]

thats fine i am DYING to get my hands on the ash and iron one if it comes out in the monument thingy

[cerulean sail]

It will, once this rewards pass ends

[quiet plover]

perfect thank you all ima get to farming now

[fierce spear]

#💎shard-it-keep-it

[quiet plover]

my apologies

want me to remove these?

[fierce spear]

makes no difference it’s just for more visibility

[quiet plover]

ah alrighty ty ty

[open orchid]

do i need to win matches in invasion to get red lightsaber?

[tulip oar]

No

[open orchid]

ok

[tulip oar]

You also don't need to wager additional deathmarks

I got mine on a one-deathmark loss

[open orchid]

noice

[serene zinc]

What's meta for hunter DPS in desert perpetual for the bosses, because I think there's better stuff they can use than finality + rocket pulse but idk

[dark mango]

uncivil discourse with lucky pants + refurbished a499

wolfsbane with fortunes favor for iatros

[serene zinc]

How do you use wolfsbane, I have it but I haven't used it yet, is it like spam right click or heavy attack?

[dark mango]

build up nano assault during the mechanics phase, pop it during dps and do light light heavy

[serene zinc]

Alr

[serene zinc]

Why refurbished a499, I thought it only worked with hand cannons?

[sudden egret]

there's no heavy slot hand cannon, refurbished is just a soild dps weapon this season

to use while you wait for lucky pants cooldown

[serene zinc]

Oh ok

What's a good build to use with lucky pants, like for survivability plus having good DPS

[dark mango]

i usually use rdms or the exotic class item during mechanics but ig you could stay alive with crimson if you aren’t loadout swapping

crimson is used during dps to build up lucky pants stacks before swapping to uncivil

[serene zinc]

Ok, I've never used lucky pants so how does the build up and cool down work

[waxen ibex]

It just gets a stacking buff every hit that buffs hand cannons

[serene zinc]

Ok

[dark mango]

shoot two shots with crimson then mag dump uncivil, once it overheats shoot the heavy sniper until the debuff “out of luck” ends

[waxen ibex]

And you see the cooldown as another buff after the lucky pants buff ends

[serene zinc]

Alright

[waxen ibex]

Basically just think of it as like, in ideal situation heavy snipe does 5k dps or something and uncivil does an avg of more like 8k over the lucky pants window

So you want to use the lucky pants buff as much as possible since it's just more damage

[serene zinc]

Alright thanks

[serene zinc]

Should I be running arc because uncivil discourse is arc and I see people saying you have to match the subclass

[dark mango]

nah use prismatic

[brave canyon]

Hunters using FF always running tether right ? For debuff and purpose

[serene zinc]

Ok what ult should I use

[brave canyon]

Golden gun

[serene zinc]

Should I also use golden gun on DPS?

[brave canyon]

Yes

Tether for fortune’s favor

[dark mango]

yes

[brave canyon]

Yeah, I didn’t give my Hunter much love during EoF but after seeing how hard fortunes favor carried during equilibrium, I’m grinding out armor right now

[gleaming ore]

Alright im new here but I need some major help, I recently bought the legacy pack and I've been playing through Forsaken, I have to do the "Darkness in the light" quest but I seriously can't do it. I'm used to having to do everything by myself in this game cause none of my friends have the kinda of obsession I do with this game, this seems like the one boss I can't beat

[serene zinc]

So I'm in the shooting range and I'm using crimson and uncivil and getting about 12k damage for one rotation of the buff from lucky pants, what else can I do to buff my DPS?

[dark mango]

radiant, weaken, transcendence

snipers meditation in the artifact

2 or 3 arc surges

[twin dome]

What's up with weapon options? It often says that they're supposed to increase charge time or magazine size, but nothing changes.

[dark mango]

if you are ok with loadout swapping you could also pop a nighthawk initially then swap to hte lucky pants loadout

and swap back when your super is fully charged

[serene zinc]

Alr

[fossil flare]

What was that armor piece for bright dust called from last week?

[static pendant]

aside from trading in gifts what are other means of mass getting strange coins

[upper imp]

Is there any way still to obtain weapons from the "episodes" content from final shape?

[twin dome]

The exotic missions and Xûr

[upper imp]

What exotic missions drop them? 👀

I've been searching for an hour now and only just confirmed (FINALLY) I can't access that content anymore 🤦‍♂️

[twin dome]

Encore, kell's fall, derealize

[upper imp]

Amazing, thank you

[twin dome]

The portal versions give you the exotics and the exotic mission rotator versions give you legendaries and red borders for encore, as well as the exotics

[upper imp]

So I need to wait for the legends rotation to have them in order to get the legendary weapons?

[coral bramble]

so ive seen the nightfalls often have planets names like europa or cosmodrome, edz.. the two forsaken nightfalls which i need for my final trophy, warden of nothing and the corrupted, would they show as this on the vanguard > nightfall playlist or would their planet be shown?

[twin dome]

Yes or from Xûr

[upper imp]

Thank you so much. I hate how difficult it is to find any of this info 🙃

[tulip oar]

Only the normal strike versions can be launched from planet maps. If you specifically need a Nightfall, your only option is the Nightfall node in the Vanguard menu

[upper imp]

@twin dome Does legends rotate weekly?

[coral bramble]

yeah perhaps i phrased it weird.. i meant if im here as shown in the picture, would it say the corrupted or warden of nothing instead of cosmodrome?

[serene zinc]

Can you attune renegade weapons?

[tulip oar]

It should say Dreaming City or Tangled Shore, iirc. However, if you select the Nightfall and then cursor over things it should tell you the exact name

[coral bramble]

oh wow thats what i meant

i knew it

so rn itd be legend PsiOps battleground

[dreamy topaz]

currently trying to solo flawless equilibrium as a bonk titan. Should i run

• The class
• no survivors with incandescent

or

• random kinetic
• psi aeterna IV

[dark mango]

you should be running a one two punch shotgun

a solar primary would be good too

[static pendant]

otw works with hammer?

i swear nbt

not

otp*

[tulip oar]

It does

[dreamy topaz]

no survivors is a solar smg

i don't have a mintr retrograde for kinetic

[static pendant]

since when? i thought they removed it like three years ago

[dark mango]

then run a shotgun in the kinetic slot

[static pendant]

smth with massive dmg in duality

[tulip oar]

They did a pretty significant rework of damage scaling in the last year or so, so maybe then? All I know is it works

[dark mango]

a lot of melees were changed in edge of fate

probably then but im not 100% sure

[vocal thunder]

Heirloom has 1 drop chance per character right?

[tulip oar]

Per class, but yes.

[static pendant]

will try it then def, while your here what is the best place to farm strange coins

[dreamy topaz]

is the call shit? compared to pulse rifle micro missiles

[vocal thunder]

Compared yes for dps

[dreamy topaz]

want to do sere safely, since he throws you i miss hammer easily

[waxen ibex]

Just so you know they never gave encore or kells fall the drops and derealize isn't even in the rotator

The guns are all possible to be brought by banshee and xur

[upper imp]

Wow..... that's horrible. Thanks for saving me from wasting my time though. 🙃

[weak oriole]

How does one acquire ikelous smg

[waxen ibex]

Seraph shield I think

[weak oriole]

[upper imp]

Wait, banshee sells them? I've not seen the kinetic slot glaives or the area-denial GL on him. Does his stock rotate too?

[weak oriole]

Yes

[waxen ibex]

Oh I wasn't including the nightfall weapons or anything

[weak oriole]

He can only sell refusal of the call

For kinetic glaive

[waxen ibex]

Nightfall weapons all technically drop still in the old nightfall Playlist

It just doesn't rotate so you're pulling from a pool of 17 weapons

[upper imp]

Oh? You can pull the stasis glaive from the queue via the "world" tab?

[waxen ibex]

Yeah

[upper imp]

Hell yeah, I can deal with that. I just need a source.

[weak oriole]

It’s like a 20 weapon loot pool

[upper imp]

Lord, I wish any of this info was findable anywhere. Thanks a ton everyone.

[weak oriole]

So good luck

[upper imp]

How often does banshee rotate? Weekly?

[weak oriole]

Yes

[upper imp]

Awesome, thanks!

[weak oriole]

Xurs engrams in the weapon tab can drop refusal aswell

Also a massive loot table tho

[upper imp]

Does his engram purchase drop stuff other than the list of specific weapons? I assumed it was the same pool

[weak oriole]

It’s a bunch of weapons

Not just the ones he’s selling

[upper imp]

Gotcha

Does nightfall difficulty matter much for the weapon drops?

Oh nvm, the UI actually does tell you that bit

[lethal canopy]

so btw this actually worked. I got all 5 red border acasia's dejection in the same week.

[quiet plover]

what would the best wolfsbane look like? shape etc

[dark mango]

honed and jagged edge, tenacious handle, resurgence directive IV, and the catty is situational

fortunes favor hunters always run attrition orbs, otherwise orbs or ba

[quiet plover]

perfect ty just gotta figure out how i get the other shapes

[vital hinge]

In the current game i have a good amount of ascendant shards and enhancement cores. But prisms Im having a hard time not going low on. How can i farm specifically those, what are some good ways? I do the daily enhancement prism exchange at rahool from time to time

[hardy needle]

Anyone know if the 4pc set bonus of Ferropotent works in Crucible?

[stuck yoke]

does equilibrium still have limits on farming? like after first clear of an encounter i can only get already obtained loot?

[glad crag]

Even if it did, it would not be noticeable or worthwhile. And there are just too many variables

[glad crag]

The attunement feature changes some things. But seeing as how the exotic is the only thing I for sure know is 1st clear per character, I would think that continued encounter clears can unlock more gear

[terse bolt]

If I wanted to try raiding this week would you recommend prismatic with getaway or something else like speakers sight/assemblers/Phoenix for solar with well?

Or controverse void

[stuck yoke]

i have not done the full dungeon. just the 1st encounter solo

[glad crag]

if youre referring to the chunking, its a bug that will get fixed sooner than later. I would say Getaway is probably the safest all-around bet. Useable in ad clear, while keeping your weapons free for dps

[terse bolt]

I mostly just meant for easy devour/self heal. I'm not at the point in skill or gear to do some glitch reliably lol

[glad crag]

In that case, I would definitely say that it wont unlock anything until you do a full run. Each encounter does have a set loot table outside of attunement

[terse bolt]

Ty, I'm pretty comfortable with getaway so far, sounds good

[rigid hedge]

In the dungeon can all loot drop at all encounters once you get them all?

[tulip oar]

Assuming you're talking Equilibrium, not unless you attune the loot you want.

[stuck yoke]

does equilibrium have weekly lockout for new loot?

[tulip oar]

99% sure the only dungeon with that behavior is Grasp

[stuck yoke]

[rigid hedge]

Yea im attuned but wonder if it magically makes the loot table expand to have a chance to drop the attuned item at an encounter that normally doesnt

[tulip oar]

Yes, if you're attuned it can drop from all encounters

[rigid hedge]

Oh wow thats great

Ty

[tame plover]

Palindrome ain’t obtainable is it

[sudden egret]

nightfalls in legend node but it's a big pool of weapons

[tame plover]

Aight thanks

[vital hinge]

How do i do the other gm conquests? I have done the 2 in the seasonal hub but I dont know how to do the other ones

[tulip oar]

You wait for them to be released

[vital hinge]

Ohhh so they arent released yet

Thank you

[zenith tapir]

Can I still get those armor pieces on the bottom right? From where?

[tulip oar]

Helmet is old and Blue so unless you already have it in collections I don't think you're finding it. Gloves are from Duality. Chest is Revenant so your only hope is gonna be Ada-1. Boots I'm pretty sure are unobtainable, but you can look to see if there are chests for you to find in the Pale Heart's Tower. If there aren't any then Bungie made good on their word that they'd go away when EoF released. Mark is EDZ

[zenith tapir]

Thanks man

[alpine tiger]

Hey guys.
What’s the fastest way to farm strand meditation?

[crisp sleet]

i found running finding those little orange and black glowing triangles that are hidden and floating give like 25 per

and theres like 8 in one area

[runic radish]

im new and running titan and im at the part where u pick ur light kit what do i choose

[crisp sleet]

look up location for every apogee repeater on neomuna

[alpine tiger]

Thanks bro

[crisp sleet]

np

[trim jetty]

Why am i getting tier 4s for turning in cookies to vendors im 500 power

[alpine tiger]

Just go with whatever you like there are plenty of great builds on YouTube

[tulip oar]

What's your Guardian Rank?

[trim jetty]

5

[runic radish]

ok thanks

[tulip oar]

That's most likely the issue, then. That or you need to be 550 for the vendor drops to be T5

[alpine tiger]

And if you needed help or just some company I’m down

[trim jetty]

Oh alr is this the last week of dawning?

[dreamy topaz]

i fucking hate this shit sere boss. SO many times i've gotten to him flawless, then something fucked happens and i die to getting thrown across the room.

[runic radish]

ok ill dm you

[thorny lagoon]

Is the ghost focus armor mod bugged??

[fierce spear]

No it’s just not even close to being guaranteed at all

[sudden egret]

it increases the chance from 16% to 33%

[thorny lagoon]

Lame!

I miss Res..

[sudden egret]

new stats are better, more ability spam

and more stats matter

[thorny lagoon]

True. Just give us all 200.

[honest charm]

does facet of purpose void overshield scale with hp stat?

[glad viper]

What’s the fastest way to max event rank?

[twin cave]

iron banana when?

[vague garden]

Are enemies supposed to be so tanky in Lawless Frontier? I'm having a hard time getting Bow precision final blows.

[pastel zealot]

they are yeah

[twin cave]

well you're also trying to get bow precision kills lol

[pastel zealot]

bows arent particularly good for mid to high end content

[twin cave]

honeslty thats prob the single worst bounty, i would reset it or just skip it

unless you can do it somewhere like shuro chi

[vague garden]

Yeah

[vague garden]

Is any primary weapon?

[deep gale]

does the spire lootpool include the right of the nine variants or the old season 19 variants

[pastel zealot]

s19

[waxen ibex]

Yeah I almost first tried the solo flawless and died to a taken phalanx while trying to headshot the cere on the roof

[waxen ibex]

I believe they were updated to the rotn versions and the ones added in rotn should be in the loot pool now too

Should be relentless/prosecutor first encounter, sudden death and adjudicator second encounter, judgment and darkest before from the emissary at the end

[fathom marten]

I’m pretty certain RotN weapons aren’t obtainable anymore

[waxen ibex]

The prophecy weapons specifically were updated with rotn and that applies to the standard prophecy loot pool too

Even back then

[fossil flare]

Does barrel make or break a "godroll" ?

[waxen ibex]

Rotn version of prophecy had adepts and shit but the base guns were updated too

[waxen ibex]

For pve nobody really cares unless the guns stats make it feel like actual trash with a certain barrel

For pvp it could but in pvp you're clawing for every bit of range advantage you can

[fossil flare]

Just got this, barrel is wrong for the supposed godroll from what i udnerstand.

[waxen ibex]

Oh on something like an area denial specifically it genuinely just doesn't matter

Use what has the highest handling

That's basically all the barrel choice is doing for you

[trail pendant]

Why does my t5 armor only have 10 energy?

Nvm

[rancid ravine]

As a new player should I run the renegades campaign? I just purchased it and wassondering if it’s a good way to get loot.

[waxen ibex]

If you bought it you need to run the campaign to access anything you paid for lol

There's a pool of 12 weapons plus two exotics and three armor sets in renegades content and a lot of them are quite good

[rancid ravine]

Sorry I didn’t know lol thank you though

[waxen ibex]

In the current state of the game as well, the activity you get after the campaign plus the dungeon are like most of the "endgame" rn alongside desert perpetual from edge of fate

The game's not exactly built around keeping you logging in constantly rn but they're the only new stuff we've had since October

[idle eagle]

Can I run doctrine as many times I want and still get the exotic

[waxen ibex]

Yeah

Remember you need to do the full dungeon quest for the catalyst to make it useful at all

And doing the dungeon quest raises the exotic drop rate

So I would recommend doing that ASAP

[gilded mesa]

For the Equilibrium quest, can I do all 3 artifact parts at once, or do I need to do them individually and clear 3 separate times?

[brave arrow]

If you have someone who has finished the quest you can do all 3 at once otherwise you won't be able to access the points to get the artifacts

[gilded mesa]

Ah ok thanks

[boreal dirge]

So i know 450 light is when tier 5s can drop but is it only a slightly bigger chance than before or is it a guarantee for every drop?

[sudden egret]

For PvP, it’s guaranteed. Depends on score for pve. 470 is when everything is t5

[brave canyon]

Anyone got a 150 super 150+ weapons cuirass build they could send me? Been grinding armor non stop and cannot hit the stat split for the life of me

[tulip oar]

3 T5 gunner pieces, a T5 paragon and a paragon Cuirass

[brave canyon]

I think the paragon cuirass is what’s getting me

I have yet to get one with weapons

[tulip oar]

Mine doesn't

[brave canyon]

Hmmm strange

[tulip oar]

It's not showing the stat mod usage because this isn't a completed loadout, btw.

[crude charm]

Hey everyone, quick question: is Destiny 2 a good game to play for gameplay only? I used to be interested in getting into it (story and everything) but I've heard so much about sunsetting/vaulting content that I've kinda given up on that, so I was wondering if it was still a good game to play like something like Diablo 4 (create new character when new season drops, spam end game content, ignore story/dialogue)

saw the legacy collection with most dlcs for 14 euro on PS Store, but as stated, would pretty much just be enjoying the gameplay and ignoring the story (assuming all the onboarding issues I've heard of are true and not exaggerated)

[tulip oar]

Enough stuff is shared account-wide that D2 isn't really suited to a "make a new character each season" sort of a thing, but the core loot grind loop is in a fairly solid place atm

[fossil flare]

YOu can keep your character. 🙂

[crude charm]

I wasn't sure if it even had "seasonal" content
I guess I meant more if it's a good game to just ignore the story/dialogue, spam content and have a good time enjoying the gunplay etc

[fossil flare]

You're going to see a lot of gear you want only to find out you missed it a previous season.

[tulip oar]

It has arguably the best gunplay of any looter shooter and knowing the story isn't critical to getting new loot

[fossil flare]

Looking at you season the Dawn

I agree with Fish face.

[crude charm]

Yeah I played a few hours before, and the gunplay did feel amazing
is there enough to do to keep playing for a while, similar to games like Diablo / Path of Exile?

[waxen ibex]

It's pretty much guaranteed

[fossil flare]

If you like the repetitive grind of those games then yes.

[waxen ibex]

You pretty much need full gunner super tertiary iirc

Prismatic or arc

[tulip oar]

If you want a continual feed of new things to do, no. If you're willing and able to play the same content repeatedly to get the roll/build you want, then yes.

The main issue loot-wise atm is that there isn't really much that demands a build unless you're setting arbirtrary limitations on yourself. Having a good build makes things easier and/or more fun, but even the harder content in the game is doable without

So if you need more motivation to get new loot besides "number get bigger" then that may be an issue

[waxen ibex]

Nvm paragon fits it slightly better

Can do 152 super 160 weapons 85 melee 60 grenade 25 class before fragments

But obviously will be slightly lower since you will be running 2-3 minor stat mods

[brave canyon]

Mother fucker I don’t think I grinded enough smoke jumper

[waxen ibex]

This is basically what you'd need assuming no fragment stats

And two minor stat mods

Since I assume you're running triple super font and triple surge

[brave canyon]

Ya I think I only ended up getting 1 god roll smoke jumper piece

I don’t have any other ones that are goated gunner or paragon rolls

[waxen ibex]

Rip

You can run ferropotent and swordmaster at least

Smoke will come back soon too anyway

[empty birch]

Whats the godroll on gizmo weft?

[sudden egret]

Air/slide + bipod

FYI, it’s for movement

[waxen ibex]

I'm ngl don't settle for anything that doesn't have most of the desirable perks on the same roll

There's situations a lot of these combos are nice and being able to swap between them is good

[wraith pumice]

What website is this?

[waxen ibex]

https://d2-armor-calc-lac.vercel.app/

It's the best I've found for trying to figure out what archetypes you want to go for

D2 armor picker is the best option for picking through your vault

[wraith pumice]

Yeahh I've been using d2armorpicker primarily, both pre and post EoF, but I've been wanting to calc theoretical stat distributions lately.

Thank you so much!!

[snow viper]

hi guys i need some help im stuck on the atst mission on the ice area in renegades where you shooot them down with a strand cannon

but there arent any nearby

and i restarted the mission twice and it still wont let me progress past these 2 immune walkers

[lethal canopy]

how to get the Ager's Scepter catalyst?

[tulip oar]

And you're definitely not at the part where they want you to get on the pikes with the strand guns?

[snow viper]

i am there

but i shoot them down with the pike and it wont drop their shields

[tulip oar]

You need to use the dodge

That's what sends the strand attack

[snow viper]

whats the keybind on pc?

ive tried my super and all my abilities

[tulip oar]

🤷 I use controller. I think it's double-tap A or D, but I'd recommend looking at the vehicle binds

[snow viper]

it is double tap a ty they didnt tell me that

[fathom marten]

It's double tap in either side direction

[shadow echo]

Where can you find a lot of hive at?

[honest charm]

do I only need to put feats to B+ to reach a+?

[fathom marten]

Start of Grasp of Avarice

[waxen ibex]

If you hit level 90 on the season pass you will get all the past season pass exotic catalysts immediately

[shadow echo]

Where is that portals or location on a planet

[waxen ibex]

Double tap a direction works or the class ability button while holding a direction should work

[fathom marten]

World > Eternity > Grasp of Avarice

It's a dungeon

[tulip oar]

You sure that's the case? AFAIK that was only for Episodes weapons and newer

[fathom marten]

Ager's Sceptre's catalyst can randomly drop from any portal activity

[waxen ibex]

Damnit agers wasn't even a pass exotic

I misremembered lmao

Was just a normal quest exotic during season of the lost so the catalyst just drops from activities

[waxen ibex]

This should apply to any actual pass exotic other than the reclamation ones and maybe the episodes, the stupid season pass catalyst quests they did since shadowkeep they instantly flood you with when you hit 90 on the pass

[tulip oar]

Not sure I understand. If it applies to everything, then those quests wouldn't be a thing anymore

[lethal canopy]

bruh

[waxen ibex]

I'm saying I'm pretty sure you still get all those quests at once

[tulip oar]

So then you don't get the old catalysts for hitting 90

[waxen ibex]

Ager isn't even a season pass exotic it just drops from normal activities

[waxen ibex]

You get the quests to get all of said catalysts

[lethal canopy]

can it drop from portal?

[waxen ibex]

Yes, fastest way to farm it would be the crucible private match method

[lethal canopy]

thanks mr.mouse

[tulip oar]

Are you sure about that, too? Because they used to all just be Banshee pickups and it'd be weird to make it harder to get the grindy as hell quests

[waxen ibex]

They changed said grindy quests to be much faster https://www.light.gg/db/items/1113229786/an-old-flame/

They still exist and even have updated text referencing portal

[tulip oar]

The Calibration Data is the grindy part

[waxen ibex]

They consider a gm solo op the same as a gm nightfall used to be so you get like 5 calibration data per gm solo op

Master is 4

They used to just hand them out from banshee but that was during the weird episode "off season"

[tulip oar]

They were always banshee

Even when they were brand new

Hence my skepticism

[waxen ibex]

OK but dude they never just handed you that shit

[tulip oar]

If "that shit" is the quest, they 100% did

You got the gun, you talked to Banshee, you got the quest

[waxen ibex]

You had to hit level 90 on the pass to pick up the current season's and it would also let you grab all the previous ones after that as well

[tulip oar]

Catalysts weren't on the season pass until Episode 1

Seasons 8-23 were all Banshee quests

The thing the season pass used to have were boosts to quest progress

[waxen ibex]

Even during the episodes you'd have to hit level 145 on pass to grab the prior ones

Unless it was a weird off season period

[tulip oar]

Again, catalysts did not exist on the season pass prior to the episodes

They were all banshee quests

[shadow echo]

Can you get the catalyst for the necrochism if you have the husk version only?

[waxen ibex]

What

You can't get the necrochasm catalyst without first getting necrochasm

Like by definition

You get necrochasm at 20 oversoul essence and the catalyst at 35

You can't reach the catalyst quest step without picking necrochasm up first lol

[deft epoch]

for the praxic blade mission fire and ice, what do I get for completing it in legendary difficulty

[tulip oar]

If you don't care about the overall legendary campaign completion, there's no specific benefit to clearing it on legendary

[waxen ibex]

It's required for the legendary campaign exotic if you want that, otherwise rerunning it on legendary is needed for 2/3 of the catalysts

[deft epoch]

so if I do it in normal, and get the praxic blade, I have to go back and do it again in legendary for the catalysts?

[waxen ibex]

Legendary shouldn't be that difficult but it's also much easier with the lightsaber and you have to run it for 2/3 of the catalysts anyway so you could wait

[deft epoch]

also how do you go back to it? I just got renegade, thanks for the help

[waxen ibex]

It's in the renegades map as one of the buttons

[deft epoch]

ahhh got it, thanks a lot!

[waxen ibex]

Yeah 2/3 of the catalyst puzzles require legendary difficulty

One doesn't

[deft epoch]

can you get both in one run?

and where is the third catalyst?

[waxen ibex]

The third one that can be done in normal mode still requires having the lightsaber in the first place

It's a bunch of collectibles you have to break with the lightsaber scattered through the whole platforming section before the first encounter

The other two can be done in one run and are pretty easy to do together

One of them just requires also having the timer enabled

And each of them makes one of the encounters a bit longer

[deft epoch]

Thanks for clearing that up, I'll watch a youtube vid on it when I get there, I'm at like step 27. Doing it solo so this should not be fun lol

[waxen ibex]

Idk if you can do any of that before completing campaign

You can't equip them anyway without the post campaign lightsaber upgrade intro quest

[deft epoch]

also what do u get from the equillibrium dungeon

[waxen ibex]

It has a loot pool of 6 other star wars weapons plus an exotic and an armor set

And also has some of the lightsaber customization

[deft epoch]

damnnnn i only got renegade for the lightsabers, this is too much 🤣

[waxen ibex]

The dungeon is super approachable

You gotta complete it a couple times to unlock all the lightsaber parts too

[deft epoch]

sounds like you got all that, congrats

wish I was 16 again with no job so I can get it all in a couple of days

thanks for all the info you've been very helpful, I really appreciate it!

[rancid ravine]

Any of the legacy weapons worth buying?

[waxen ibex]

You probably could

[waxen ibex]

You mean the legendary ones in the monument?

[rancid ravine]

My bad I forget the name but yes

[waxen ibex]

How new are you

[rancid ravine]

Uh just started a couple days ago

[waxen ibex]

A lot of them are outdated or outclassed but there's still a ton of useful filler weapons in there

And they're basically free

[rancid ravine]

Yeah I got enough glimmer to purchase some

I’m light level 320 right now , not sure if that’s good

[waxen ibex]

Light level doesn't mean much

Has no direct relationship to your performance

Unless the activity is higher power

[waxen ibex]

I would grab:

Mountaintop (mostly a mobility tool, outclassed by gizmo weft from the dawning event right now which is a rare-ish drop)

21% delirium or edgewise (decent machine guns, outclassed by many accessible ones but if you don't have another it's perfectly good)

Felwinter and adored are decent in pvp

Perfect pitch and resounding are both okay but also outclassed heavily

Nothing in there is a must-have though

Basically like 5/10s you can just grab if you want something in that slot that's usable

Felwinter is the closest thing in there to being relevant

[waxen ibex]

BTW did you grab the free banshee guns on his second page

Some of those are really good to have, especially that rose and multimach

He should have these six

[rancid ravine]

I have not grabbed those

[waxen ibex]

The last two require the dungeon but the first four you should hold onto

[rancid ravine]

Worth getting?

[vocal thunder]

my friend has a recluse from ITL with feeding frenzy and destab can someone tell him it’s obsolete and bad

[rancid ravine]

Tysm

[idle eagle]

That’s actually not horrible

[waxen ibex]

They're all desirable perk combos on those guns

[vocal thunder]

you are the friend

[idle eagle]

I would take that into my raid run

[rustic dome]

So I came back when Renegades dropped and I still have the Armament Protocol quest to speak with Devrim Kay in the Tower and I can’t delete it. Is there anything I can do about that or will it just forever be in my quest log?

[vocal thunder]

i would not

cause i’m not an idiot

[rancid ravine]

Perfect thank you means a lot

[idle eagle]

You do you man you keep using your found verdict

[marsh whale]

Why is Dean Rebecca not in my solo ops ? I go down the stairs, go to the floating ball thingy, she's not there, so I can't give her a cookie, and yes my cookie is in my inventory not postmaster

[waxen ibex]

Attrition orbs KT multimach for example is like still top 5 or top 3 pve primaries in the game atm

Rose and the shotgun are both pretty decent for specifically pvp, and I think the hothead he sells is a pvp roll but there are way better pve rockets anyway

[tulip oar]

She should be directy in front of where you spawn, not down the stairs

[thorny bronze]

Step 23 of 31, why is there nothing here 😭

[waxen ibex]

The other two that need dungeon completion are really good pve rolls but I assume you don't even own the dungeons

[rancid ravine]

I know I have some guns that not full sure are good. I can’t check but one of them are an exotic that has like nano bots that attack after you shoot

[vital hinge]

Is it not possible to get mint retrograde at the moment?

[swift drift]

hey all i'm just getting back into the game after a few years of break. are there any meta arc titan loudouts?

[fossil flare]

Is the cosmodrone lost sector bugged or something? my screen just goes black after the "locked equipment"

[marsh whale]

Oh ok thx

[waxen ibex]

I'm ngl that could describe several exotics

But uhh, all but a couple exotics have static rolls and you basically get them once and always have the ability to reclaim it again

[rancid ravine]

Oof , it took like 40 minutes to get and it was timed

[waxen ibex]

Oh then it's outbreak?

[rancid ravine]

Oh yeah

[waxen ibex]

Yeah outbreak is good

[rancid ravine]

Nice

[fossil flare]

Third time i'm stuck n black screen with the cosmodrome lost sector!

[waxen ibex]

You'd want the catalysts but it's one of the best exotic primaries

[rancid ravine]

Then I got a hand cannon as my second and an lmg as heavy

[rancid ravine]

What does the catalysts do?

[waxen ibex]

I think you still need to do one run on master for the original catalyst

And then the other stuff lets you swap all the slots to customize the stats and put rewind rounds on it

Or headseeker/rapid hit for pvp where it's also really good

The gun feels way better with higher handling

[rancid ravine]

Oh yeah I still gotta do it on master

Just hard rn so I’m trying to get better gear

Ty for the help

[scarlet viper]

so is the shader bugged or something i didnt get anything

[honest jolt]

What's the amount of light to obtain tier 5?
I have 450

[waxen ibex]

It's definitely not intended to be solo too

[waxen ibex]

It is in fact bugged

Last time a flawless shader was bugged they gave it to people retroactively so they might say something about it this week

The last week or two they've obviously been on Christmas break so nothing really gets done

[tight widget]

EQ Quest > cleared Dun w/ FT... I needed the 3rd Artifact and handled the mechanics for it.
after running Encounter 1 again and visiting the temple, other FT members were able to Place their artifacts, but not me.
I dont get it... why may I not been able to?

[scarlet viper]

i dont agree, i went through this same shit for the vizier one and i had to re get flawless at a later time

d2 and wasting your time, name a more iconic duo

[waxen ibex]

What does your quest say rn

Can you screenshot it

[tight widget]

sure, allow me to reload, 1 min

[waxen ibex]

Did you actually pick up the third artifact

And then clear the dungeon after picking it up

This says you never grabbed it

[rigid hedge]

how do you know what that praxic blade upgrade is in the cantina? i alreadyhave mine buti want to warn friend

impact core

[tight widget]

physically pick up the 3rd? I dont recall, tho dont recall any other FT member actually pick one up eother.
yes, cleared Dun on same run

[waxen ibex]

Then you messed up and have to run it back

After the trial is done it opens a door you have to go grab the relic from

[tight widget]

now that I do recall, seems maybe there was another room on the lower side... maybe I didnt go get it from there?

[waxen ibex]

It's not based on the fireteam grabbing it, believe you have to pick it up yourself too

Also I swear you didn't have to do first encounter to access the temple

[junior frost]

Is there any point using old guns that don’t have tiers anymore?

[tulip oar]

If they're a good roll and you're not doing an activity w/ Advant Garde

A weapon not being tiered doesn't mean it's bad

[glad crag]

Personal preference completely. Old weapons are still very relevant

[pastel zealot]

avant, with no d 🙂‍↕️

[glad crag]

I don’t just because I like the feeling of T5

[snow viper]

how do i block with the praxic blade

[tulip oar]

Sword Guard. IIRC default keybind is C

[snow viper]

thx

[hollow oak]

whats a good legendary icebreaker alternative

[snow viper]

sword blocking doesnt work T_T

its prolly cause i just unlocked it is all

[hollow oak]

try aiming

with the sword

thats how I block

[snow viper]

thats throws it for me

[hollow oak]

idk then cuz throw is my side button on my mouse

which is heavy attack

[tulip oar]

You're definitely using the sword guard bind that blocks w/ other swords for you?

[snow viper]

wtf i got it

it was unbound in my settings for some reason

[hollow oak]

luckily im forced to use my PC settings config and not the games. since my keybinds are weird

[feral trail]

should i worry about my stats/build when playing the snowball pvp or everyone is at the same level?

[pastel zealot]

everyone is at the same level

[waxen ibex]

Many reasons to use them, tiers don't mean shit for guns

[pastel zealot]

for 99% of the player population the only thing that really matters about tiers is that you get more perks on a single weapon

the average joe will not notice the difference between enhanced and unenhanced barrels mags ots and mods

[waxen ibex]

Even then it literally only matters if it's an existing gun that got reissued lol

In which case the perk pool already got power crept regardless a small amount of stat creep is irrelevant

Current T5s in many cases don't have clearly better stats than older adepts

Like all the brand new T5 guns literally have slightly nerfed base stats just so they're balanced around having T5 stats lol

[glad crag]

Assuming the purpose is a crystal-shatterer, any rocket sidearm would do the trick

[waxen ibex]

Even comparing with enhanced barrel and mag Mos athanor vs normal iggy, iggy has clearly better stats

Mos athanor after adding the +5 to everything from tier 5 which isn't included here ends up basically on par

Tiers are a psyop the guns are all balanced around being tier 5

[boreal patio]

itd be slight better than innit

[waxen ibex]

Within 1 or 2 on most stats but you get the point still

Just saying tiers don't make a gun automatically better since most of the brand new tiered guns have nerfed stats in the first place so their T5 is roughly around old adept stat totals

[turbid sorrel]

bungo also always typically juice trials weapon stats

[waxen ibex]

Only the reissues get directly power crept and that would've happened anyway without the tier system because of perk pool refreshes

[waxen ibex]

Yea I'm comparing to the stuff that'd normally have juiced stats like trials/nightfall weapons tbf

[tidal merlin]

I saw this which means you have to see it too.

32 seconds in King's Fall

[tulip oar]

#🏆destiny-media

[tidal merlin]

I just wanna ask HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE

[tulip oar]

Those timers are infamously buggy

[tidal merlin]

That freaked me out a bit.
I thought I was playing with a whole other breed of speedrunner

[tulip oar]

It's entirely possible they did something shady, but I have credit for a 5 minute DSC clear while not having anything faster than ~45

[waxen ibex]

To begin with this tracker considers a boss checkpoint as the starting time of a raid, but it gets even worse because if you join a team right before the boss dies it starts counting from when you join lol

[tidal merlin]

So this tracker isnt "im fast" its "im shady"

[tulip oar]

Not necesarily the latter since as Dallagen just mentioned there's legit ways to get that

[short kayak]

Anyone know what about the chances are to get the taken crystal?

[tulip oar]

Nope

[solar jasper]

Why is X not dropping?
It's RNG. No, the game is not bugged for you, or broken, it's simply bad luck.

• Bungie does not publish drop rates.
• We don't know how many estimated runs it will take for a specific item to drop.
• We do not know how much drop-rate-boosting triumphs contribute either, since we don't know the base drop rate.
• Runs are all separate environments. A 1/3 chance does not mean you get the loot you want one out of three times, it just means there is that percentage of chance whenever you run the activity that you get said loot.
• Perks are not weighted. All weapons drop with their perks at the same rate.

[short kayak]

👌

[tulip oar]

You get a chance for each/all full clears, though

So you can farm for it

[tight widget]

does the Fire & Ice mission need to be run as part of the Campaign in order to acquire PB, or can it be run anytime to get it?

[tulip oar]

If you're asking if it's possible to get pulled in from someone who has completed the campaign, I'd highly doubt it but not sure if anyone has actually tested. If you're asking if it's available for anyone to access the second they own Renegades, no.

[short knot]

how do you get bounties on nessus?

[tulip oar]

There aren't any anymore

[short knot]

huh

well then how do I finish the quest thing?

[raw hill]

they removed bounties the last update

[short knot]

so is it just impossible now or smth?

[tulip oar]

Depending on the quest, it likely isn't meant to be completable anymore

[short knot]

guardian level 3

[tulip oar]

Screenshot the task

[short knot]

or the uh

new light one

[tulip oar]

Screeenshot whatever it is

[snow viper]

how do i get a good arm piece of armor

i was using my exotic this whole time and now i dont have one lol cause i swapped exotics

[short knot]

I don't think you can screenshot on GeForce :/

[sudden egret]

You can

[tulip oar]

It blocks the snipping tool?

[short knot]

oh wait lemme try that

I'm kinda dumb lol

[tulip oar]

Not really sure what you're asking. There isn't any special way to get legendary arms versus any other legendary armor

[snow viper]

ye just a quick way to get any of em

ive been running fire teams and havent gotten any

[tulip oar]

Look to see if arms are a focused reward for any portal activities

[snow viper]

k ty

[tulip oar]

Yeah that quest is super old and not meant to be completable anymore

Dismantle and move on

[short knot]

k

[snow viper]

what a goods legendary seconday for dps

[tulip oar]

The new arc rocket pulse I guess?

[snow viper]

oh? where do i get it at?

[tulip oar]

Pretty sure it's in the Solo/FIreteam ops pools so see if it's featured for any of them (I think it's often featured in the weekly challenge for the fireteam alert too)

[snow viper]

ok thx again for the help!

[drowsy oyster]

Can delivering cookies to anyone in particular reward you with the swordmaster gear? Or is that pinnacle ops only?

[tulip oar]

You can get them for delivering cookies

[raw hill]

anyone can

[tulip oar]

There's no pinnacle ops-specific vendor

[raw hill]

but I cant get tier 5 armor from cookies for some reason

:<

[tulip oar]

What GR are you?

[raw hill]

9

~ 510 light level

[tulip oar]

To be clear you're 9 right now and not 9 from last season?

[raw hill]

yep, 9 right now

[tulip oar]

Interesting, then it must be power then. I'm GR 9 and 550 and they've all been T5

[raw hill]

I can easily get tier 5 from pinnacle ops, but.. um... I don't have anyone to do them with, and solo is painful

[tulip oar]

Welp, grind Lawless for easy power ASAP I guess

[raw hill]

yeah

[pearl plinth]

shouldn't take too long i was getting tier 5s from them at like 520

[snow viper]

does the lightsaber count as a powered melee

[sudden egret]

no, it's a weapon

[snow viper]

damn

[hollow oak]

does backup plans trigger from shotgun hand canons

[sudden egret]

No, those are hand cannons

[hollow oak]

aww

man gimmie a primary exotic shotgun already

[sudden egret]

They work with lucky pants

[hollow oak]

alas I cant put lucky pants on a titan

[sudden egret]

True but you can put on a hunter

[hollow oak]

ewwwww

[sudden egret]

You got pks

For a weapon exotic

[hollow oak]

I prefer actium

I hate SMG range

[glad crag]

I agree. But I will say that you Titans have many ways to stay alive within that range

[sand stump]

Can you still fully 100% D2 nowadays?

[sudden egret]

what do you mean by 100%

[sand stump]

Achievements

[sudden egret]

in game ones or platform ones?

[sand stump]

Platform like I want a Platinum

[sudden egret]

i can't speak for the ps ones

i'm pc

[tulip oar]

AFAIK they've done a new pass of fixing up the triggers but I'm not sure the achievement/trophy text is accurate for what you have to do now

[sand stump]

I know I can probably get it I’ve only got Hunter and Warlock subclasses achievements left but I noticed a trophy was to hit level 20 and I’m sure levels are long gone

[tulip oar]

Do you have chars of those classes? Pretty sure those are basically instant these days

[high lily]

the level 20 one is probably season pass rank

[sand stump]

I’ve got a hunter but I must need to go to Ikora to ping the achievement

Warlock id have to make one not had one since D1

[tulip oar]

I'd recommend doing the Warlock first so you can start with a fresh slate to determine what the trigger is

[sand stump]

This is MK ultra you’re a Warlock main right

[tulip oar]

Nope. Titan

[sand stump]

I’ll make one for sure cause he’s got the Kylo Ren set but it’s just so hard to leave Titan

[dusk steppe]

why is my hyperblade inconsistent while using strongholds?

[hollow oak]

its not. it takes a few hits to trigger amplified

theres likely a tiny bit of RNG to it, but ive never had it trigger from 1 attack block

[twin cave]

is there anything to go for on the void crossbow??

[flint kiln]

If you're a hunter, Envious is all you really need. Otherwise it's kinda mediocre

[drifting plinth]

^

literally

only good cause moebius quiver go brrr with somewhere near 227% dmg boost

[fervent lance]

Does anyone know why I cannot see any Trials weapons at St. 14' stall in the tower? I (believe) I've completed the quest; was playing Trials this weekend; can see previous armor... .

[drifting plinth]

weapon focusing got removed with edge of fate

[fervent lance]

So we don't use the Trials tokens?

[drifting plinth]

theyd said there would be some use for them later

keep them

[fervent lance]

Ohh.

[drifting plinth]

(i think)

[fervent lance]

np

[drifting plinth]

even if they dont add a use, id keep as a relic

[fervent lance]

So, the only means of obtaining Trials weapons is by playing and lighthouse now?

[jolly quiver]

Does Lucent Blade chest mod affect the Praxic Blade?

[drifting plinth]

yes

[fervent lance]

Cheers dude

[glad crag]

not in a way that matters

[drifting plinth]

btw, if you're high power(like 480 or so+), it gives you good loot for existing

[jolly quiver]

Thanks

[drifting plinth]

especially if you get at least 1 kill

[fervent lance]

470 and working on it! Just returned (last two weeks) after a break since March.

[drifting plinth]

(yes it's dumb as fuck)

[drifting plinth]

you're close

like im 550 and ive gotten good loot for getting 0 kills, losing 5-0

[fervent lance]

Ha!

[drifting plinth]

well, im not just existing most games

not anymore at least

got much better

like first week of renegades in solo queue kd went up from .34 to a .8

so from utter dogshit to simply pretty bad

[fervent lance]

To be fair--I felt okay with my Trials performance after 9 months off...some wins; some losses--all in solo. Nothing triggering. Fun.

[drifting plinth]

also get positive at least kda most games now

[fervent lance]

Nice!

[drifting plinth]

i do main a gun that some people might call no skill

[fervent lance]

The new pulse slaps.

[drifting plinth]

yeah, way too hard even

[fervent lance]

Need to farm up the new 120 tho.

[drifting plinth]

ye, mos is goated

energy crimil's

(though feels a not that small bit worse for some reason)

[fervent lance]

I still kept a few nice crimils (slideshot/precision accurized/opening shot etc.); two igneous hams and a couple of Lunas (including eye of the storm/opening). A few Roses, too. Love HCs!

[drifting plinth]

i have a goated crimils that's been collecting dust cause final warning

[fervent lance]

ooh. Role?

[drifting plinth]

stability masterwork i actually like

[fervent lance]

Oh, and by the way, is Trials on this coming weekend (2026)?

[drifting plinth]

would have loved fluted

[drifting plinth]

yes, it will be on next weekend

[fervent lance]

adagio two tap city!

[waxen ibex]

trials is up right now with one of the most shit maps ever made

[fervent lance]

Ha! I like mid Mid!

Sweet lil' gat.

[spark hazel]

So i started destiny for the 1st time ever around a month ago, my power is at 335. Feels like im increasing my power at a snails pace tho. Any tips on how to increase it quicker or finding better gear? Only expansion i got is witch queen btw

[fervent lance]

I was at 300 two weeks ago--after doing the first Ren quest for the 300 armor.

[boreal patio]

bonus drop portal activities

[fervent lance]

Now 470. Got there through Battle pass maxing (i.e., 100 straight off); selecting Portal extra XPs; max ghost and playing the Ren campaign on x2 toons.

[boreal patio]

it me 2 weeks of like 1-3 hours of portal a day to get from 300-550 for me

[fervent lance]

good to know

[fervent lance]

If you PvP: Trials seems a great place to level.

[boreal patio]

it was mainly pvp than id swap to 1-5 pve bonus activities drops before i got off, so doing all of the bonus drop activities would be faster

it is a great place to level

quick games and its fun if u like pvp

[fervent lance]

Ye.

I levelled up my Lock first--then scrounged my Hunter to 470 last night via the Battlepass. Intend doing so tonight after work on my precious scarred (unused!) tito!

The Martlet has been my friend!

[boreal patio]

also use d2 optimizer to see if you have gear that’s noticeably lower light, if you do, do a nactivity that focuses it or grab the piece from zavala (save ur free zavala gear for this)

[tulip oar]

Destiny Recipes has a good power tool these days: https://destinyrecipes.com/power/ and you can pair it with https://www.d2portal.com/optimize to try to venn diagram with bonus drops

[fervent lance]

So, is Trials back to weekly weapon focus (I'm presuming this week was The Martlet); if so, is there a way to check upcoming weeks? Also, can all new weapons drop? Cheers 🙂

[boreal patio]

all new weapons can still drop, marlet will just be there more often

i dont we’ll know the weapon rotation until all of them rotate in first, unless they’ve changed something

[fervent lance]

Might try for a Lighthouse run this coming weekend, too.

Cheers

[limpid cove]

who know whats up with servers?

[glacial wharf]

Did they get rid of passage protection from teammates leaving? Had a guy leave and the other afk but lost the streak anyways

[tulip oar]

I don't think that was ever a thing. The passage protection I remember protected you against losses if you solo-queued and came up against a stack and loss against the stack

Quitter protection could be too easily abused

[glacial wharf]

Na it was from teammates leaving mid game, Ive always solo qd and it didnt matter whether u were solo or not

[waxen ibex]

that isnt a thing, it's only a thing if they dc before match starts

[sharp stag]

Does anyone know if charged bolts reload a good shout if it has accelerated assault? I don't have the roll

or can i just get an artifact and back out

[brave canyon]

Get all 3 in the one run

[copper apex]

Is ulitimate always gon be sword enemy’s

[waxen ibex]

you can do all 3 in one run if you have a teammate with the quest done

[teal adder]

i do not have one

[waxen ibex]

if i wasnt going to bed right this second i'd help

[brave canyon]

I legit just got off lol

[waxen ibex]

nobody is farming this shit without quest done

[brave canyon]

Fax

[high lily]

yes, youre capped 30 under power

[glacial hawk]

do trials and dungeon weapons get the origin trait accelerated assault?

[glad crag]

Trials might, but not Dungeon

Its all about a curated roll

Something that drops with a yellow border

[tame hornet]

does tentacle boy have anything worth spending coins on?

[sick mountain]

Hii, i am new to playing osiris and i completed the low level pass just lossing 2 games in the middle of the wins, hoy can i enter the lighthouse?

[high lily]

did you get the Lighthouse Passage

[sick mountain]

Yeah i think, the first one

And then it give me some bad things and now i cant get to the lighthouse

[high lily]

the lighthouse can be launched from the crucible ops tab of the Portal, if its not there, you dont have the correct passage

[sick mountain]

I would check, ty

[quiet plover]

ive gotten my first exotic cipher are there any specific titan exotics i should get?

iirc lorely splendor helm is pretty broken right? or did they nerf it a lil bit

[high lily]

its unusably bad and has been for years

[quiet plover]

damn

what would be a good use of my cipher then?

[high lily]

Wormgods

[quiet plover]

alrdy got them

[high lily]

ciphers are easy to get anyway

[quiet plover]

oh damn nice

maybe abeyant leap could be good

[tame hornet]

does xur have anything that's absolutely worth grabbing before reset?

[turbid sorrel]

nop

[high lily]

rarely ever does

[quiet plover]

what weapons should i look out for while doing the renegade campaign?

[crisp elbow]

is eris morn even human

and didnt she die

why she in renegades

she looks like human mixed with hive

[high lily]

1. yes
2. yes but also no, she has a throne world the same cutscene she dies, she is shown to be alive
3. she only looks like that because she was doing hive rituals and shit

[crisp elbow]

[fringe crane]

Guys is it normal that i can't see the Dawning quest ? Like i have finished all of her ingredients and done the majority of her triumph and still can't buy the upgrade because i have to finish the dawning quest , but like i said it , i can't access the quest , is there a solution ?

[cinder seal]

is outbreak still a good dps option for desert perpetual?

[gusty adder]

is Equlibrium much harder to duo than solo? I see all these people completely shred the final boss when they are solo, but me and my brother duoing can only do like 20% hp on him in the first phase. And then after the lightning stuff makes it impossible to continue. His dmg phase seems to be like 5 seconds too.. is there a way to make it longer?

[cinder seal]

if you have full shadow master buff youre able to compel the wizards in the shadow realm by walking up to them and interacting with them
you have 30 seconds at base to do damage, but killing the wizards reduces that damage time by 5 seconds, whereas compelling them frees the taken orb in the centre and doesnt reduce the damage time at all

most go for a 3 kill, 2 compel

[high lily]

afaik, no

[cinder seal]

what would recommend for a team who isnt able to mint/finality swap

im teaching the raid later and not all of them have finality's or mint

[high lily]

psi aeterna

[cinder seal]

oo

good shout

[pastel zealot]

she looks like that because after her raid team went after crota and they all died in the hellmouth, she lost her ghost and had to take a hive acolytes third eye to survive and escape

afterwards, like jongo explained, she died during episode heresy, but thanks to the hive rituals she did and all the tithing she received from us during season of the witch (as well as killing savathun) she actually had a throne world to go back to

[cinder seal]

holy shit hollow knight enjoyer

[pastel zealot]

🙂‍↕️

[cinder seal]

youre my favourite sorry jongo

[gusty adder]

thanks

[pulsar fox]

Do contracts reset daily / weekly?

Or do you keep the ones you already have

[orchid tinsel]

i dont understnad Hard Partition racing mission, my sparrow is simply crawling up the hill and can't make the jump?

what am I doing wrong?

[pearl plinth]

a sparrow might be a better option over the skimmer

they've got better acceleration

[crisp elbow]

best way to get hella credits?

[orchid tinsel]

had the same issue with sparrow, apparently being "too fast" stops the boosts from occuring or something but I ended up having to jump off and grapple the gap

[violet compass]

Do you guys know if dungeon exotics are farmable
Like finality's auger
Or its still once per character per week?

[little pewter]

Newest one is once per class per week

[violet compass]

Oh nice
So we can spam finality's auger
finally

[little pewter]

Should be ye

[echo marsh]

is this the same for raids?

[high lily]

yes

[orchid tinsel]

what is this?

[little pewter]

Its a marker because you've tracked something relating to thearhe node under it

[junior frost]

What does the amplified arc effect do?

[bitter hull]

When you get amplified, you get some buffs to mobility and sliding, as well as some handling bumps. You also get 15% damage resistance and enemies are less accurate when firing at you

After sprinting for a couple of seconds while amplified, you'll get another buff called speed booster which cranks your movement up even more and gives you another 15% DR

[waxen jewel]

morning, stupid question - where can i get bounties?

[static pendant]

whaere can i get strange coins fast

[echo marsh]

what kind of bounties are you talking about? most of the traditional bounties we used to have were removed for the portals new system

'orders'

[trail pendant]

Is melee even worth it after 100?

[echo marsh]

doesnt it further increase mele ability damage?

[turbid sorrel]

yes

[trail pendant]

Yes? But i mean in general compared to the other possible benefits

Except for consecration

[echo marsh]

well if ur running a melee build

you want more mele damage

so its worth it?

[trail pendant]

Ig?

[echo marsh]

like theres not much more to it than that

I have 200 mele on my lightning slide warlock build

[trail pendant]

Does bastion work for slide melees?

[echo marsh]

dont see why it wouldnt

[trail pendant]

Alr

[waxen jewel]

ah right that would make sense i last played destiny 1 years ago lol. so was looking to get bounties from an npc

[snow viper]

does bastions passive work with solar titan throwing hammer?

[sharp kraken]

anything interesting in todays update?

[tulip oar]

If you mean weekly reset, it hasn't happened yet. If you mean like an actual game update/patch, there isn't one today.

[sharp kraken]

yeah i meant the weekly reset in a few hours

are we getting anything new? iron banner or something?

[tulip oar]

Dawning still has another week, so no

[pearl plinth]

no reason it wouldn't

[snow viper]

ok ty

[urban nest]

I can't figure out how to do this.

[tulip oar]

When customizing an activity, look for modifiers named "<Element> Threat" such as Arc Threat

[glad dune]

Anybody know of a good video that sums up all of the changes that have happened? I'm a returning player and I cannot for the life of me figure out what actually matters and doesnt matter in the game anymore

[tulip oar]

All of the changes since when?

[glad dune]

Since edge of fate? Everything is different, I havent played since witch queen.

[tulip oar]

So you mean since Witch Queen, then?

[glad dune]

Lol sure

Did they fundamentally change the game after with queen? Did lightfall or final shape reset everything and bring the portal? Or was that edge of fate?

[tulip oar]

Edge of Fate added the Portal

[glad dune]

Okay so I meant edge of fate then

[tulip oar]

I mean, more stuff changed between WQ and now than just the Portal, though, is my point.

If you're only caring about Portal stuff then this is probably a simpler discussion and you should just ask what you're specifically confused by

And also, the Portal isn't "new" anymore since we're now already 1 expansion past Portal/EoF, so "new since EoF" would literally just be Renegades' stuff

[glad dune]

Bruh

Are you aware of any sort of YouTuber or someone with useful, helpful information for a returning player? Or are you here to be pedantic?

[tulip oar]

I'm trying to understand the scope of what you want a video on, and your bad wording is making that difficult

[glad dune]

A video

That explains the changes

That have happened

Since eof

That's it

Broad scope

I'll go back to Google thanks for the help bud

[solemn zodiac]

your wanting a very specific list is not going to lead you anywhere

if you wanna google changes from, for example, edge of fate specifically, you will find those sure

but nobody's gonna make a video "what if you left during exactly this timeframe"

also as fish was saying and explaining, the difference between EoF and WQ is also absolutely huge, as they reworked basically 90% of the game's systems

he isn't being pedantic, he's trying to explain to you that the breadth of answers your question could have makes it not really helpful at all

[glad dune]

And seemingly no one knows what those changes are or how to explain them to returning players!

[solemn zodiac]

refer to this message

it's not about not knowing, it's about the issue that there's so much that it's hard to both give an exhaustive answer and keep it pertinent

[glad dune]

Okay so what's the exhaustive answer

Like is there a video that explains that

[solemn zodiac]

that is why Fish was asking you what specifically you're interested in, because pinpointing a smaller subject will give you a more pertinent answer

[glad dune]

No one can explain to someone the new changes??

Like its physically impossible to?

I'm confused man

[glad crag]

Wow

Rude af

[glad dune]

Bruh lmfao

[solemn zodiac]

okay, alright. If you want to see the changes from edge of fate for the specific release, I advise checking out the patch notes for an exhaustive list

this is as exhaustive and complete as possible

[glad dune]

Thanks for the help guys, you're all top notch!

[glad crag]

I guess they don’t care about the new subclasses or abilities that were added BEFORE EDGE

[pearl plinth]

the issue is that an exhaustive list for 3 years of changes would take a very long time to type out here

[solemn zodiac]

the simple answer to "what changed between WQ and now" is just everything everywhere

[tulip oar]

Since WQ:

Strand
Prismatic
Enhanced Weapons (now deprecated)
Stats matter up to 200 now
Armor archetypes
Armor set bonuses that actually matter
Weapon and Armor Tiering
Portal
Old raids/dungeons are now farmable for everything
New destinations/raids/etc.
New gear
Fireteam Finder
Vault overhaul
Loadouts
Transmog
Arc 3.0
Solar 3.0

And I'm still probably missing something

[glad crag]

Or the loadout menu, mod menu, fashion menu

[solemn zodiac]

if you're coming back from WQ, you should consider you're playing a brand new game

heck, between WQ and now a couple of major systems have been reworked multiple times

[urban nest]

I can't figure out how to customize jt

[tulip oar]

Screenshot what you're looking at atm

[glad crag]

Don’t forget all the exotics that were added lmao

[urban nest]

Give me a minute I'm currently stuck in a bugged quest. How do I force a quest to progress to the next step?

[tulip oar]

You either restart or you do what it's asking you to do

There's no /stuck or whatever

[pearl plinth]

by completing the current step usually

[urban nest]

Well it says this

But it doesn't proceed

[tulip oar]

Most likely there's an add somewhere around that isn't dead

[urban nest]

Ah yeah

I keep getting this connection issue

Code anteater?

That's not a portal op

You need to do a standard activity from Solo Ops, Fireteam Ops, etc.

[turbid quest]

Is the watchful eye that xurs selling good

[tulip oar]

It could be decent with a Storm's Keep titan build but it's not particularly useful outside of that context (and isn't so good in that build that it'd outclass alternatives)

[urban nest]

But that's what I chose?

[tulip oar]

The options below that one

A vanguard alert is not a standard op

[urban nest]

I found it thanks bro

[wheat badge]

I have a question I’m stuck on this quest zero hour and I can’t get past this part can anyone help me understand what to do here

[tulip oar]

There should be paths in the corners that'll take you to a room and the paths should also have switchs that'll open the path up from that room

I'd recommend looking up a guide

[wheat badge]

Ok I will see yeah I have gotten to the switch’s but they didn’t do anything I’ll see if I can find a guide

[urban nest]

I can't have matchmaking when I customize it?

[tulip oar]

Correct. You can try Fireteam Finder but you would probably be best off just customizing a Solo Op so you're doing an activity meant for a single player

[idle cairn]

whats the best set bonus for tcrash dps?

[urban nest]

Ah okay thanks

It's kinda difficult though

[tulip oar]

For the purpose of the Guardian Rank task, you can turn on all of the boons you want to make it as easy as possible

[wheat badge]

The guid tells me Im bad that’s what I got from it I can’t do all that in 20m bruh

[orchid tinsel]

I don't think any of them really interact with tcrash

[daring turret]

Yo G’s I just started playing destiny 2, new account, new everything, I realize other people are way higher level than I am, can I still join they’re games? Will people still let me do raids, etc.. with them?

[tulip oar]

Power rarely matters and in the cases it does you'll get raised to 5 under the highest power on the team. The biggest issue that will get you kicked out of raids etc. is having zero idea what you're doing in the raid (including but not limited to having bad builds) unless you're specifically joining a teaching/sherpa/carry run

[untold spruce]

For guardian rank 10 how do i start the other 4 conquests on grandmaster? I done the 2 that already were on grandmaster

[tulip oar]

They're not available currently

[untold spruce]

Thank you

[tight yoke]

is silver worth buying?

[sick spoke]

I’m new to destiny, I’ve been playing a a couple of weeks and have got to 400 power level how do I get higher than that?

[tight yoke]

vanguard alerts

higher difficulty too

and also new campaigns can quickly get you higher

[sick spoke]

Thank you I’ll give that a go

[tight yoke]

np

[daring turret]

Damn so if you don’t know what to do you’ll get kicked out of the server?💀

[tulip oar]

Not the whole discord, no, but if you join a KWTD run and don't know what to do, don't expect to stay in the fireteam unless you happened to luck into a very easygoing group

[solemn zodiac]

again mind that this is in context that people do organize sherpa runs to actively teach people how to do raids

hence why it's considered bad manners to join a KWTD run without having been in a sherpa run first

[vital hinge]

Do sieve bosses change weekly or are they truly random each time you play it?

[violet prairie]

When do the servers go down

[daring turret]

Damn I’m confused, where do I go to get taught?

[solemn zodiac]

;lfg
