What's the most efficient way to farm essence of Oversoul?

Is it just run the final Boss Crota on each character 3 times via Checkpoint?

Im pretty sure oversouls are unaffected by the raid rotation

So you can just farm

[thorny birch]

do 1 full run per character per week and then just farm checkpoint

Isn't it enough to just farm the final checkpoint?

weirdly notice that I sometimes get some & sometimes I get nothing

[thorny birch]

first weekly full run guarantees a drop at the end

not full doesn't guarantee anything

[slate summit]

oh

[thorny birch]

you could go 100 runs and not get a single oversoul

also just do triumphs and challenges, cuts the grind for oversoul by a lot

Got 15 out of 20 & I just noticed that when doing crota, I often times get nothing

now it makes sense, thought maybe it was because I ran it too often on my titan & warlock

and that it is character based

[thorny birch]

it's not 20, it's 35, catalyst requires 15 more oversoul

One at a time

i didn't even use the gun till i got the caty just because of how strong stats for all+one for all on necro is

Unrealistic to do all 3 master challenge runs. those usually take up almost an entire afternoon with average LFGs

3 boss CPs/full runs on each char, and then id farm full runs if at all

[thorny birch]

you only need to do challenge once on master

afaik oversoul drop is dependent on full run and encounter, challenges and triumphs don't matter for drops

[hot void]

any encounter completion has a chance to drop an oversoul or 2. Crota has a chance to drop like 30+ if its completion is within a full clear

obviously very low, but still better than nothing
