[high lily]

the dailies and the weeklies

they all give progress to the weekly reward track

[frigid onyx]

okay

[acoustic steppe]

at what power do u start only getting higher power gear from drops previously known as ( powerful or / and pinnacle ) drops , idk if the same terminology exists or if it has changed

[waxen ibex]

Pinnacles don't exist anymore

Power grind in general is no longer time limited

Your gains just slow down the higher you go

Like at 300 power you might be getting +3s or 4 but from 500-550 you get like +1s and sometimes +2s

[acoustic steppe]

what type of drops would give higher power

[waxen ibex]

What

You either get power gains or you don't

The reward projection literally says exactly what power your drops will be

[acoustic steppe]

like for example these engrams will always give me higher power

[waxen ibex]

Yes

[sudden egret]

most people grind power in portal activities

lawless, tdp and equalibrium are also sources

but not as fast

everything else won't give you higher power drops

[acoustic steppe]

finishing weeklies such as this wil always drop u higher power gear?

[sudden egret]

that's in the portal, so yes

[acoustic steppe]

well if i just read

it litterally says that

[sudden egret]

that challenge is only once a week

[acoustic steppe]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

but this bonus drop wont necc be higher right

[tulip oar]

It will be if the reward power for the difficulty is and you get the appropriate score

[acoustic steppe]

i see ok

[sudden egret]

iirc, B or higher always gives you a higher power drop

[tulip oar]

It should tell you the projected reward power before you launch

[onyx lantern]

Is xur good

[sudden egret]

he has a usable perfect paradox if you don't have one

[serene zinc]

I started this game on warlock, so I plan on finishing it on warlock, and I got both my hunter and titan to 550, and I forgot the best way to get full set of T5 550 armor, what's the fastest way to do that?

[sudden egret]

You can just pull the armor from the reward track

[serene zinc]

What's that

[sudden egret]

the season pass

[serene zinc]

Yeah but it's not T5, I'm picky

[sudden egret]

you didn't say t5

sorry

you did

[serene zinc]

Lol you good

[sudden egret]

you can buy some from zavala

the rest you'll need to farm

[serene zinc]

Oh yeah

Does the loot cave on Kepler still work?

[sudden egret]

yes

[serene zinc]

Alr, I'll prob use that

[mystic wyvern]

Which riptide from Zavala is worth getting this week

Where’s jongo

I need his knowledge

[tall venture]

I quit during edge of fate due to the endless dumb light level grinding. As did all of the people around me. How will that work come this new big update? Will that still be a requirement?

[compact oar]

What's a good weapon to use to create ionic traces if a weapon lime that exists

Like

[ruby drum]

you'll be able to upgrade your loot's tiers

so, less

[tall venture]

So light level doesn’t matter?

[tulip oar]

I mean, it barely even did back in EoF

[tall venture]

Are they taking away sunsetting for all past items?

[tulip oar]

They did that a while ago

[ruby drum]

they did yeah

[tulip oar]

Before EoF, no?

[tall venture]

So recluse come back? Eh

[tulip oar]

Sure but the Into the Light one was already better and even that's not amazing

[ruby drum]

well it came back with Into The Light, before The Final Shape

[tall venture]

True but edge of fate was also getting those buff bonuses from using edge of fate items. I have tier 5 items just wasn’t sure for my friends

[ruby drum]

hey primaries get 30% more damage to red bars

[compact oar]

I've seen ppl Using what seems to be a practice range / firing range on yt how do I use that myself?

[tulip oar]

The seasonal bonus stuff was largely, if not entirely?, removed with Renegades

[ruby drum]

it's on the tower map

[compact oar]

What's it called tho

[tulip oar]

Firing Range

[ruby drum]

it's the big icon on the tower map

[tulip oar]

Or shooting range? It's the only giant ass icon on the map

[compact oar]

Ty

[waxen ibex]

it's not good, but yeah

they did that a long time ago

[waxen ibex]

yeah this never mattered

a good weapon was a good weapon regardless of those bonuses and there was no reason to use old armor anyway

[turbid owl]

are we getting mint retrograde back in june?

[tulip oar]

Bungie does not give out full loot lists in advance. They said a while ago that there'd be a better way to get S27 gear with what's now the June update. Besides that, we don't know.

[cedar hatch]

pretty sure zavala has sold two God rolls so far keep an eye out for his inventory

[turbid owl]

fair enough

[turbid owl]

🙂‍↕️ will do

[tulip oar]

Yeah, he has, and Hawthorne still has that (admittedly low, but still) chance with her weekly engrams

[turbid owl]

True I need to check those out

[cedar hatch]

you have a better chance at getting it from Hawthorne if you have a active clan

[waxen ibex]

this explicitly covers mint

[waxen ibex]

yes, see above

mint is pinnacle ops gear from edge of fate

which is explicitly focusable at zavala

[weak oriole]

will old nightfall stuff be focusable

or buyable

[cedar hatch]

that would be nice

[tulip oar]

If you mean other than the current Xur option, they haven't said.

[whole wigeon]

Question, didn't crucible modes used to change regularly? Like its been control for like 3 weeks Now

[weak oriole]

in the crucible tab on the world screen and the other mode in portal do

[whole wigeon]

Oh, i was looking at portal

thank you

[shell nova]

uh

how do i dps servitor on vespers as a warlock

[whole wigeon]

Also last question, zero hour can be done solo but it says there's a timer, wouldn't i technically fail

[tulip oar]

Those aren't mutually exclusive. It can be done solo within the timer

You will have an easier go of it with others

[waxen ibex]

pretty sure they are reprising most of the nightfall weapons lol

so no

[whole wigeon]

The lack of others is the problem for me, that's why im doing solo

[tulip oar]

Hence my initial response.

[cedar hatch]

I wonder what the new meta is going to be with everything being revamped

[cedar hatch]

I've just recently started using fireteam finder and it's working amazing

[waxen ibex]

they only showed pvp weapon pools but like iron banner alone they reprised almost everything, not everything got new perks but what didn't get new perks is still dropping tiered

[whole wigeon]

I need to, last time i did that i was kicked because i wasn't using "meta" weapons

[weak oriole]

o

lol

[waxen ibex]

so the nightfall weapons will most likely be added to the pinnacle ops or arena ops pool as tiered drops with their old perk pools

at worst

vanguard ops pool was already slowly reprising nightfall weapons anyway

[drifting plinth]

got it, so no reason to get t5 slammer, gonna js keep my levels

[weak oriole]

rake angle t5 peak

[drifting plinth]

should make that the 1 exception, fuck glaives

[weak oriole]

i’m getting one for crucible

[waxen ibex]

they could give it new perks still obviously idk their exact plans

[drifting plinth]

that's why

[weak oriole]

impulse/chill

[cedar hatch]

I've had that happen a couple of times but I've realized that as long as I don't join lobbies that are at max light I won't have to deal with that

[weak oriole]

bro u use final warning

shit tracked me AROUND a wall

[drifting plinth]

glaive takes less skill unironically

[waxen ibex]

but this update seems to be making sure that every activity only drops tiered loot now

[weak oriole]

eh ig if u spam melees

i like the projectile

[cedar hatch]

glaives are so irritating

[drifting plinth]

oh, you're one of the glaives that use skill nice

[weak oriole]

i use wishender w enigma it’s so goated

[drifting plinth]

also, final warning does take skill in a way

your loadout just is especially vulnerable to it

[cedar hatch]

glaives are what keep me out of crucible, thank god I got my reghusk 3rd try

[drifting plinth]

you gotta glaive melee rush me catch offguard to kill fw with a glaive

or sometimes glaives just out bs final warning

and bow just hard loses to fw cause it's the only archetype fw beats in a ttk fight

[cedar hatch]

I think the only glaive that I have is from gambit ngl

[drifting plinth]

i have rake godroll from farming the shit out of gms

[cedar hatch]

stupid question but are grandmasters considered endgame content?

[weak oriole]

not anymore

[cedar hatch]

notes, I think they were back in witch queen which is why I had to ask

[severe epoch]

whats a fun titan build that doesnt use praxic

[drifting plinth]

https://dim.gg/7mwrsta/Wormgods-bonk

https://dim.gg/o3xmpoq/wormgods-consec

[severe epoch]

not the hater of titans suggesting a titan build

[drifting plinth]

https://dim.gg/yvse5wi/stasis-howl-titan

[severe epoch]

but thanks

[drifting plinth]

my hate does not apply in pve

only titan hate related comments i make about pve are entirely jokes

[fervent tusk]

is fireteam gear powerful?

or is it on-level drops

[naive shell]

did one arena ops and the vow is still at 0/400

Do i need to equip it?

[whole wigeon]

I got to the boss room with 5 minutes left first try, i can maybe do it faster then try fireteam finder

[twin peak]

what does the quest say?

[cedar hatch]

so I'm curious as to if we are going to have seven artifacts cycle throughout or if we will be able to access all of them and choose which ones we would like to use

also does tentacle boy have anything worth picking up today?

[fervent tusk]

bump

[naive shell]

isn't arena ops a portal activity?

[twin peak]

it is

what does the quest say in the quests tab

[naive shell]

that's it

[twin peak]

i assume with eri equipped

just do solo for time’s sake

[naive shell]

ill try, symmetry is the same and im at 249/400 without ever using it but it doesnt gain any progress either

weird

[high lily]

might depend on the difficulty

[naive shell]

hmm fair

[fervent tusk]

bump

[high lily]

you mean Fireteam Ops? anything in the portal increases power, you just gotta keep increasing the difficulty every now and then and changing modifiers to get better reward score

[fervent tusk]

ah ok yeah fireteam ops

follow up question then, why can't I launch any of these?

is it actually because I need a specific loadout?

[drifting plinth]

yes

all new gear

[fervent tusk]

damn

ok ty

[rancid tundra]

once gambit gets "portal" stuff, will i be able to hit max light from just playing gambit?

[wintry spoke]

How can i quickly get strand meditations

[drowsy ermine]

What’s the best way to get better gear

[high lily]

power level or?

[drowsy ermine]

Yea power level

[wintry spoke]

Portal activities

[high lily]

anything in the Portal works, but get the activities with the green bonus engrams done first

[wintry spoke]

Someone please answer, 1000 sounds like a lot

[high lily]

theyll have extra drops which will give more power

[high lily]

use the strand subclass and do stuff on Neomuna iirc

[fathom marten]

Should be a list pinned in the channel too

[high lily]

actually, there might still be a guide in this channel's pins

[wintry spoke]

How long does it take

[fathom marten]

Long

[fathom marten]

#❓destiny-questions message

[wintry spoke]

Thanks

[severe epoch]

if i redownload destiny on steam is it just gonna be loss of dlc or a full reset?

currently all my progress is on epic

[fathom marten]

You will lose access to dlc content. You will not lose progress on any campaigns or gear or whatever

Just set up cross save correctly and everything besides dlcs will carry over

[drifting plinth]

if you set up crossave before doing anything on me acc of

[high lily]

dungeon keys carry btw ^^^

since theyre silver purchases

[hard mountain]

whys it unavailable

[drifting plinth]

heavy surge week

[severe epoch]

well no the point is i wanted to start fresh along with my friend whos gonna be starting anew

[hard mountain]

i need famine tho for a legendary order

[jaunty sky]

how long will it typically take to get to where every1 is at in end game?

[high lily]

take Heavy Surge off in the modifier menu

[high lily]

most of us have been playing for years and have the best stuff, but ig if we were to target something from a fresh account, quite a bit

full t5 set of armor with exotic, full subclass setup, weapon god rolls etc

[hard mountain]

ily

[weak oriole]
