Destiny 101

Oh this post is about basics to the game. Simple items that maybe we don't know or just forgot. These save time, save face, or just save something. What ever you can take from it.

  • Bounties Disclaimer: First this is all for year 2. Year one had different vendors and locations for bounties. I'm going to slightly assume that by year three this could change a bit, again. So as you watch older videos or read other forums and blogs, just remember that this is for year two. Second I have the WoW bug, so I might use the words daily or dailies, instead of bounties. All three words have the same meaning in this log. Moving along, listed below are the current vendors for year 2. This is for TTK only. not including any of the year two expands. Bounty Tracker → Basic Bounties for PvE and Crucible. Located topside in Tower by stairs leading to Vanguard. Petra → Queens Wrath Weekly bounties. Located at the Reef at control station to the left of spawn point. Lord Saladin → Iron Banner Bounties. Located in the courtyard during Iron Banner Events Brother Vance → Trials of Osiris Bounties. Located at the Reef in back across the bridges. Dreadnaught → Given while Patrolling Dreadnaught Exotic Bounties → Mostly year 1, I personally do not know much about these. Once you complete these bounties, you simple go to you loadout screen, switch over to quests, and on the side you can find these guys just hanging out. I belief you can have 16 bounties at one time. You can turn them in anywhere, which was changed from year 1 where you had to return to the vendor you got them from. Happened to me when I did my first few, I completed them, went to turn them in and was upset I couldn't, until I discovered I just complete them on spot. Bounties are good for many things. Glimmer, Rep, engrams, exp, motes of light, and leveling sub classes. While leveling a fresh toon picking up bounties and completing them along side of a quest is a very fast way to level. When playing your favorite sub class that is maxed out, you can use the exp from the bounty to raise your other sub classes up, without having to play as them. Just remember to switch to that sub class before turning them in. Bounties can also be completed anywhere. The PvE dailies can be completed in a quest, a strike, on patrol, and even a raid. Bounty Tracker: The Frame that gives these out hold two types. PvE and Crucible. 99% of both of these require you to kill a certain amount of enemies, kill with a certain sub class abilities, kill with certain weapon types, kill with certain element types (weapons), kill a number of enemies in a small window of time, and patrol regions. That is mostly for PvE. Crucibles are the same and some what adhere to the daily and weekly pvp setup. Not all the time. These should always be looked at and carried to just boost that exp you crave. Rep for these goes towards your guild, vanguard and/or crucible. Petra: The Queens right hand lady. And I don't mean Prince Uldren. *I thought it was funny* Petra was a field scout at one point and now runs the Queens high end and immediate missions. She offers three weekly bounties that are new to TTK. These all involve some form of hunting the Taken. If you recall, Oryx killed the Awoken that fought on the rings of Saturn, now Petra seeks revenge and this is how you help. One bounty is killing 100 Taken, one usually involves a Taken Champion on a random planet, and the third is killing consumed elites on that random planet. Completing these gives you rep towards the Queens Wrath and a chance for a key to PoE. Which is still a good farming point for year 1 gear and strange coins. Lord Saladin: A true vet to the war on darkness, Saladin shows up with his Iron Banner to test and prepare Guardians. He offers two types of bounties. Green Dailies and Gold Standards. Green dailies refresh like normal everyday, while the gold standards are for the current event only. Once you complete the Gold standards, they do not return until the next banner event. They give higher exp, chance for banner gear, and legendary marks. Both green and gold give rep to your guild and Saladin's Iron Banner. A must have to reach rank five quickly to increase your chances at great prizes. Brother Vance: Not to be confused with the creator of the Lance Vance Dance. Brother Vance is a true follower of Osiris the Warlock Guardian. The Trials, much like banners level advantages enabled, is a true test of skill and determination. I have not played in trials yet, but like Iron Banner, the bounties help your standings with Osiris and help getting that better gear we all crave. Dreadnaught Bounties: Acquired during patrols on Oryx's Ship. Most be be found and are related to the "Court of Oryx". While fighting in the court or out doing your runs on the ship, you will randomly acquire one of these. Like usual, just do as it says and for completing one, you gain rep for Crota's End, chances at some gear or engrams and most turn around and give you another bounty. Sometimes these are a little more challenging, but is random to some extent. I believe there are chances for fragments out of these too. I believe these to be linked to the court bounties. Exotic Bounties: I know year 1 these existed. I have yet to see one for year 2. If they still exists I would have someone else speak on these, as I have no knowledge to share. Last note, bounties are good for leveling and gaining benefits to further your progression in the game. Even if all you do is raid or strike or even pvp, grab these related bounties and it will just add to what you gain.
