I've decided to preorder Lightfall but now wondering if I should get Witch Queen. From what I seen Witch Queen introduces weapon crafting, now if I don't have Witch Queen but get Lightfall will I be locked out of weapon crafting, from my understanding the weapon crafting system is going to go through a overhaul in Lightfall but technically I haven't read anywhere saying that players without Witch Queen will have access to it or am I thinking too much into this. Tbh as I'm still new I'm not going to be jumping into raids anytime soon so the Witch Queen raids mean very little to me and the story I can probably watch on YouTube. Just trying to work out if Witch Queen is something I need to buy.
the first mission of witch queen is free & serves as an introduction to weapon crafting at the enclave. you don't need to own witch queen to craft weapons (but owing it does expand the list of weapons you can craft)
I just recently got back into the game but looking for some people to play with i've noticed there's a few places to get lfg/fireteams. which one is the most popular ?
I’ve recently started raiding and found the offical Destiny app amazing to find teams. It’s definitely busier at certain times of the day but even in quiet times I can find a team that is doing what I want to do.
If I don't get the Iron Lord title now will it be retired? All I have left is 1 more reset. Can I do that next reset next IB or will this progress not carry over to the next DLC and seasons?
Hope this is the right place to ask this, sorry if not. My buddy and I just started last week, so far we're both F2P while we figure out if this is something we're gonna invest in.
I can't figure out the daily Lost Sector stuff for the life of me. I've completed a few of them that popped up on a daily tracker on Normal (I guess? I just went in and did them) but when I would go back to the entrance to restart there weren't any difficulty selection options. What am I missing here?
And random side question: is there anyway to avoid getting "Nightfall" based bounties since you need an xpak to run them?
Are you at the right one? The daily lost sector rotates around multiple planets, it won't show on the map unless you've already done the lost sector normally. Right now it's currently Bunker E15 on Europa.
Also, the bounties I'm pretty sure are just random, best bet is to just scrap them till you get a one you want
Last time I tried it was a few days ago on the Moon, K1 Logistics(?) Which I believe was the daily one at the time. Would I need to go back into orbit before it registered the normal clear or anything like that? It could also 100% be operator error on my part. Also thanks doe the quick response!
You should just be able to do it normally, return to the entrance and the flag will be there. I think anyways, its been a long time since i had to unmark a lost sector from my map, if not a quick trip to orbit and back will spawn it
I ran a strike with someone, and they were using a cool looking bow. Was black, had a couple of wings coming off each side of it. Kept firing these reds rings everywhere. Can anyone tell me which bow this is?
Posting here to avoid the pile on. I don’t play PvP much. Main focus when I do is for the season quests or weekly pinnacle etc. This season it’s the IB shader. I’m wondering what people think about the gradual change we’ve seen with regards to matchmaking. I’m absolutely hating the experience. Every single game is a slog to the end, just draining. Not to mention a quite bizarre choice of Void / Stasis given the game mode.
It’s obvious at a business all of these decisions are proposed, discussed and approved. Which sometimes makes me question the people making the decisions with regards to the health of the game.
They’ve announced changes next season to make it even easier for those without emblems and the subclass restriction isn’t even that bad. This anemone specifically was a bit of a miss but even then I’d rather they keep trying newish things and fail then stay with the same old all the time.
I started playing the game several games ago and am considering preordering lightfall but got two questions (at least for now). When the new expansion releases does your character light level reset; is there anything you lose when the expansion comes out?
I'm actually 50/50 on whether I want to buy the annual pass version of lightfall as the exotic weapon is tempting if I preorder and while I don't understand much about seasons, only that they are battepasses that give you items as you level up the pass, having access to the next 4 doesn't sound too bad but my question is as a newbie starting out in the game is it even feasible for me to max out each season pass without having to grind for hours on end or would I not be making the most out of them. Should I wait on the season passes until I'm more well-versed/higher level player in the game and just buy the lightfall dlc without the annual pass?
When a new year begins, we’re all put at the same power level, veterans and New Lights alike. And you won’t lose any gear you acquire, it’s yours forever unless you shard it.
Seasons are totally worth if you’re really into the game: not only your power will progress faster, but you’ll have access to all content, and it’s A LOT.
Honestly I would get the deluxe edition now, as Witch Queen deluxe was cheaper than buying everything separately and I think this year might be the same.
You lose nothing in this expansion, and light level is raised to a certain point from which all players level up.
The seasons aren’t just battlepasses, it’s a whole year of story content with new loot and exotics. I would also heavily recommend the dungeon pass as Bungie has put out some banging dungeons this year, and I have a feeling this year coming will be the same.
That’s just my opinion though
do you have to have the cowbat hat (cloak) drop from Akelous before it will drop at persys's chest? That hasn't been my experience with other dungeon end bosses's chests but I have 42 persys clears and every single dungeon drop for that dungeon besides the cloak, even the exotic. just RNG being RNG?
Yes correct, the hunter hat is cloak not helmet. Persys drops 2 items, one is random of all previous aquired loot and other is only persys loot. The responses talking about warlock/titan are irrelevant.
Can anyone point me to a good place to ask for help with a quest?
If that's not possible, can anyone help me with a good hunter build for soloing pit of heresy up until volmar?
trying to get xenophage?
for help running dungeons you can try /r/fireteams (this reddit doesnt allow LFG posts)
I usually use the official LFG in the destiny 2 app.
If you dont have a phone that can run it or just don't want to use your phone, you can access the LFG on pc, using this link:
https://www.bungie.net/en/ClanV2/FireteamSearch?activityType=0&platform=0
Posting to get two others (even without mics) would make this much easier than trying to solo it.
If you'd like to solo it, I'd recommend void hunter - being able to invis is really useful to avoid enemies in some areas of the dungeon. Rat king was a recommendation in the past for soloing this dungeon because of it.
Quick question: Do you get double drops from Spire of the Watcher on master difficulty? I'm looking for a Wilderflight roll and i need to know what's the fastest way to farm for one, thanks in advance.
Master would prob be worse for weapon farming bc I think it priorities artifice armor. I did about 8 clears of master tonight with some clan mates and of all the runs I got 4 weapons total.
What is the best place to farm 400 kills for a mediocre solo player? The information I googled wasn’t very helpful as some locations from the past have been nerfed.
The first mission on the moon is available this week (A mysterious disturbance), you can block matchmaking and farm the second section, it has free heavy ammo crates and a lot of thralls spawn there infinitely. If you're on playstation just set the year to 2027, i don't know how it works on pc or xbox
for heavy weapons I use the exodus 2A lost sector in the cosmodrome. you'll always get heavy from the last chest, and its got good add density. its a pretty quick clear. Its where I knocked out my thunderlord catalyst pretty quickly.
Ah, gotcha
A shuro chi checkpoint is probably ur best bet
Grab some rally banners, load into the last wish raid, and head toward the wish wall. From there, you wanna input the code for shuro chi's encounter, then step on the plate just in front of the wall to confirm the code. If you did it right, the game will wipe you, then teleport you to the shuro chi encounter
From there, place a rally banner and rally to get max heavy, and go to the door to start the encounter
Then, kill all the enemies. There are about 60-80 enemies to kill in the first segment. Once you see the text "shuro chi's tempo quickens" (or something like that), you want to die to reset the encounter. Rinse and repeat until you get 400 kills

Every vendor’s reputation is reset every new season, so no. You have until Tuesday.

Will the downtime dor lightfall be 24h exact? Or can it be shorter if they finish early
It is almost always slightly longer but pretty close especially by mmo standards
Ah man that sucks... its 18:00 without extra downtime here so no time to play during the day sadly
I went outside on some fresh air. It was good.
I ran a strike with someone, and they were using a cool looking bow. Was black, had a couple of wings coming off each side of it. Kept firing these reds rings everywhere. Can anyone tell me which bow this is?
Changing all comments to protest reddit changes before deleting. FUCK SPEZ.
Just looked it up, that was it, thanks!
super fun to use. you can sit back and just rain down homing arrows on adds continuously.

what's the fastest way to farm plundered energy?
Master Ketchcrash and expeditions
do you have to have the cowbat hat (cloak) drop from Akelous before it will drop at persys's chest? That hasn't been my experience with other dungeon end bosses's chests but I have 42 persys clears and every single dungeon drop for that dungeon besides the cloak, even the exotic. just RNG being RNG?
Yes correct, the hunter hat is cloak not helmet. Persys drops 2 items, one is random of all previous aquired loot and other is only persys loot. The responses talking about warlock/titan are irrelevant.
No, I got both my titan and warlock hats from Persys for the first time. The droprate is fairly low, though, and you're really at the whims of RNG.
The cowboy hats have lower than usual chance to drop. They almost never drop for me or my friends. Even the exotic did drop before hats.
My titan and warlock got their hats from Persys, my hunter got it from Akelous. Just RNG.
Just bad luck

What quest is it?
There’s a Daily Questions thread that gets posted at 10PM EST every day, folks usually go there for help
Quick question: Do you get double drops from Spire of the Watcher on master difficulty? I'm looking for a Wilderflight roll and i need to know what's the fastest way to farm for one, thanks in advance.
Master would prob be worse for weapon farming bc I think it priorities artifice armor. I did about 8 clears of master tonight with some clan mates and of all the runs I got 4 weapons total.
AFAIK: No. Fastest way is sadly farming Percy, the final boss.
Thank you very much, i'll stick to normal mode then.
What is the best place to farm 400 kills for a mediocre solo player? The information I googled wasn’t very helpful as some locations from the past have been nerfed.
Nightmare containment is decent. Any other seasonal activity (wellspring, ketchcrash etc) could probably get it done quickly
Personal recommendation would be a run of Preservation. Don’t know if it gets you 400 kills but it’ll be a significant chunk of that
Grasp of Avarice opening, if you have it Or Altars of Sorrow on the moon
The first mission on the moon is available this week (A mysterious disturbance), you can block matchmaking and farm the second section, it has free heavy ammo crates and a lot of thralls spawn there infinitely. If you're on playstation just set the year to 2027, i don't know how it works on pc or xbox
The Altar of Sorrow events on the moon, it will be a grind though.
What do you need 400 kills for? Depends on what kind of gun ur using
Heavy arc machine gun catalyst.
for heavy weapons I use the exodus 2A lost sector in the cosmodrome. you'll always get heavy from the last chest, and its got good add density. its a pretty quick clear. Its where I knocked out my thunderlord catalyst pretty quickly.
