As a player who knows how to get all these materials I think this has to be one of the best guides I’ve watched in a long time.

[@aresanu]

Oh you do? Let’s be besties

[@tjayenterprises5190]

After enhancing a few weapons. I had no idea glimmer got used up so fast lol

[@woomyboy98]

Since they removed legendary shards they upped how much glimmer gets used up by everything

[@SphereRS]

I found it odd as a new player that there's such a low cap on it. I hit 500k REALLY fast and realized that I had to constantly be spending it in order to earn more

[@VD1461]

i realized 500k gets used fast but generally you dont use alot of glimmer unless you are directly doing specific things, meaning that 500k cap is usually always hit which kinda sucks

[@Jwebbplayz]

Had 500k glimmer the other day, caught myself standing with my 👖 around my ankles and 31pieces of glimmer… 🤦‍♂️ in just a couple days

[@woomyboy98]

@@SphereRS it used to be 250k glimmer is so easy to get that even if they upped it to 999 million you'd never run out no matter what you did. That's why they got rid of legendary shards bc it's cap was so high and they were so easy to get it was so easy to just steadily have more and never even be close to 0

[@rager3am400]

[@llamaguitarist]

For Xenology, you can do exotic missions for +4 points or do them on Legendary for +7!! Just make sure you stay until it says "Mission End." If you do a few of these a week, plus some ritual activities, it ends up being very attainable. Love your content, by the way! I've learned lots from you. Thanks!

[@gregphipps7082]

Another awesome video dude. Ty

[@Nudge4458]

I find it interesting that you included the class exotic, in a video for solo players, when solo players will have an extremely, if not impossible time, getting said exotic in the first place.

[@ShadowDestiny2]

Doing a single run of the mission before doing the solo farm is not hard

[@Marshall_Shurtugal]

Even though I have been in Destiny for 3 years now, these types of guides are never enough, in addition to being able to share it with my clan, thanks for it

[@ShadowDestiny2]

Thanks for sharing!

[@seerm1744]

A note on vex strike force, as demonstrated by cbgray it only operates on a knockout system IF you own lightfall. If you dont own that dlc it'll be a random drop

[@ShadowDestiny2]

oh interesting

[@MowJoeJoJo]

Also, it’s a knockout system for any exotic you currently don’t have up to, but not including Final Shape. So, no new Final Shape exotics will drop in this activity.

[@mitchconner2021]

You should mention that you have to do Duel Destiny first cuz I spent an hour doing the chest farm in Pale Heart and nothing at all dropped so it can't be done unless you do that mission first.

[@willtaggart]

Is that not a given though?

[@patricklavoie3939]

wow! great advice ! thanks

[@ShadowDestiny2]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ZombieBacon13]

I think they need to add the ability to get a couple extra exotic ciphers per week. With how much you need to use them now, it makes it physically impossible for a new or returning player to get most of the exotics they don't have. Between armor upgrades and the kiosk, it would literally take until the next dlc releases to be able to get some of the exotics they're missing.

[@greystorm9974]

Amazing video on the subject

[@ShadowDestiny2]

Thank you!

[@h3llo679]

You can get 90 spoils so far while solo. 15 total from the 1 root of nightmares chest, 15 total from the 1 vow of the disciple chest, and 60 total from 4 chests in vault of glass. With the help of a checkpoint bot just before gorgons labyrinth, you can go all the way back to the opening encounter door chest, then the secret chest on the way to oracles, the chest in gorgons labyrinth, and the secret chest just before the final room. To my knowledge thats the most you can get solo, takes about 2 hours to get all of them. Hope this helps (you can also get 15 from the secret chest in crotas end but you need another player or a second character to bounce chalice, not really necessary since youre already getting 90 imo)

[@sharklover-zi7sz]

Is this 15 per chest, per character? Or is this under the assumption that you do these chests on all 3 characters

[@McNuggetsOrElse]

@@sharklover-zi7sz5 per character per chest

[@OthersideSparrow]

If you're up for the challenge, RoN 1st encounter can be soloed with a medium-high difficulty. If you have a 2nd character or a friend, you can bounce the CP for another 30 spoils. Add that to the Crota ones you mentioned and you'll walk away with a grand total of 120 spoils each week. 2 weeks will bring you to max. Very valuable tbh.

[@GlooowTube]

My fav youtuber for Destiny by a mile. Your content is different, useful, funny and professional. Kutgw

[@dokkanbr2204]

The exotic emgrams for the vendor reset specify that it will give you a new exotic and if there are none to receive you will receive a random one

[@greystorm9974]

Does this pool include the new exotics or does my old low power ones not count. Never got one I didn't already have.

[@victorcamacho2338]

I've noticed that you can get exotic armor, enhancement cores, and enhancement prisms by soloing expert lost sectors

[@lobes117]

Turns out shadow destiny is da destiny knowledge goat

[@mathgamer-dm2hn]

So, if i want to get high stat armor but i dont have the season pass, will focusing armor at normal venders like the vangaurd also give high stat armor or do i have to do something else?

[@xreculta]

About the spoils of conquest... do u need to have the raid completed before or is it always in these chests regardless of completion?

[@Naxxe1]

16:55 - Do yo need to do the Dual Mission first in order to get the class item drop "outside" in the chests?

[@RUGER5264]

Yeah ima need this for my perfect stat synthoceps.

[@mkgaming7067]

For the exotic class item chest run,do you have to complete the mission before or not??

[@adamriley9241]

Yes, do 1 mission to completion and then you can chest farm them in the Pale Heart, solo. They drop from world chests and reward for powerful enemies, public event and Over Throw.

[@mkgaming7067]

@@adamriley9241 ok,thank you

[@jonathonstrayhan47]

​@@mkgaming7067You have to complete the mission 3 times at least. 1 per each character.

[@akuma_saint]

Hey, as a note for the loyalty of the nine thing: Make sure it's on a character you plan on playing as. It only applies to the character you pick up the buff for and isn't shared between others!

[@legendofacriuswithornament2019]

9:40 the normal campaign also gives up upgrade modules unless you have already done the legend version.

[@itzzshep381]

The Blind Well activity has always been a great source for Enhancement Cores IMO

[@weird_0]

mom get the camera shadow destiny just posted

[@KaizenMMA12]

Do we have to complete Dual Destiny to start getting the class items out of chests?

[@andietsoni6478]

Yes

[@Wasteddddddd]

To focus engrams in the helm, dont you need to have the season pass to progress the vendors?

[@seanwalsh7264]

Great source now that ascendant shards are much easier to get for exotic cyphers would be focusing your exotics

[@franks_9254]

So, the exotic class item still requires a Dual Destiny completion though. You can not farm these items by just running the chest route. Or has something changed?

[@mfyoutubewatcher9352]

If you've completed Dual Destiny then you can farm class items from The Pale Heart. The drop rate is a lil rare though. And you have to complete it with each class to unlock farming chests in the Pale Heart

[@Teeteu]

Damn thats a good video

[@TimoNaaro]

I have noticed that often if not allways my warlock and hunter drop same exotic I allready have when I take random exotic engram to him. Does this mean that I should focus the rest of exotic armor I want or is there still chance to get new exotic armor I dont have with rahool on those classes?

[@frodomondo]

Very good clean and structured video - concerning Xur (and his strange coins) - i think players should be made aware of the fact that - you can only get 99 strange coins (Max) - at which point it becomes utterly pointless, as the coins you earn past 99 - vanish - they dont even go to your post master - or maybe its intentional, so that players just keep shopping at Xur.

[@ShadowDestiny2]

True!

[@elandrihl]

How do you do the final shape coop missions solo at 13:50? There is stuff you need to kill with shooting the front and back on a enemy basicly at the same time, also things where 1 person sees the icons after a kill and the other person wil see the icons on the ones you need to pickup/activate.

[@bonjouritsready]

That’s why he said ‘technically’ You could shoot the front and back if you moved around him super quickly but why would you even try? It’s designed to be co-op. Do it co-op

[@elandrihl]

@@bonjouritsready Uhm shooting the guy in front and back aint the only mechanic, what about the items you need to activate/pick up? walk over the wrong one and you die, not only that, they also randomly reset to another combination. Also this video is about solo farming stuff, not about grouping up. So thats why i asked how to do it solo. Because so far as i know it almost not possible specially because the 2 icons and you messing up wl reset it completly to a new combination wich you cannot see. So you might spend hours just trying to activate the right combination and never succeed. Even with LFG with people that dont communicate its horrible.

[@hekzin]

Subbed! I can't buy every season pass lol, especially that I'm getting into the other characters.

[@N0SNitro]

You couldn't have released this at a better time, new player here , loving the game and only 50 hours in, im hoping this is a game I can easily play for 1000+ or more , so this will be very helpful, Thank you!

[@McNuggetsOrElse]

3.500 hours in, you definitely can lol

[@RarelyKnownAs]

You should note that you should buy the Xur boon only on one character because it is character based and not account based like a lot of other things. Buying the boon on any other character will make them have their own boon and potentially ruin your stacked streak.

[@The_Official_Mando]

Why not collect resources on the Pale Heart? Isn’t it THE best way to farm for everything including class items, PH engrams, etc….? Also, Pathfinder…

[@Xenronnify]

Pale Heart is good for multi-farming things, but if you're going _specifically_ for Glimmer, it's more time efficient to use the resource nodes/ heroic public events along with glimmer booster ghost mods.

[@The_Official_Mando]

@@Xenronnify ahh. Public events. Almost forgot those were a thing being alone in the Pale Heart for so long 😂

[@JamieCouchman]

Also, this requires DLC. I think this video is made primarily for newer, less experienced players who may not have DLC yet.

[@THOBART05.]

So what's with the bright flash on the exotic class item farm? What is it? What does it do?

[@ShadowDestiny2]

It indicates that the chests have spawned

16:25 the knock out system only works if you own lightfall

[@HolidLove]

Edit: I just realized I had a fundamental misunderstanding of how the Strange Coin Loyalty Program works. You can select it after you SPEND 47 Strange Coins. All you need is one of the 63 bounty/quest spots open to pick it. Initially, I saw that I was unable to get it-but I thought that was because I did not have 47 coins. When I saw I just had a full [bounty] inventory, I realized I could just pick it up for free. Now it makes much more sense! Whoopsie! 😅 --------- Previous Version: 5:40 I don’t know…the Strange Coin Loyalty program thing only gives you, at most, one extra coin when you earn them. Assuming the Loyalty perk gives you an extra one EVERY time you do an activity (even though it is only supposed to give you a chance), that will still require you to do-at the very least-47 ritual activities, every ten days, just to break even for the cost of the perk. And it works per character, not per account, so I just do not see any way for that to be viable.
