Guardians,
We are aware of a number of different issues regarding the Elder Cipher Bounty that can be granted from the Skolas challenge Arena in the Prison of Elders. These include:
- Simultaneously receiving duplicate copies of the Elder Cipher Bounty
- Unable to accept first bounty step/select bounty weapon from Variks
- Bounty not present in inventory
- Mission Notification present for The Reef while waiting for Variks to summon the player to continue
We apologize for any confusion that may have been caused and are actively investigating these issues.
[b]UPDATE 6/15/2015:[/b] With the release of HotFix 1.2.0.3, all issues with the Elder Cipher bounty should be resolved. Please speak with Variks in the Reef to check on status of your Elder Cipher bounty, if you have been unable to interact with the bounty previously. If you have 2 Elder Cipher bounties in your Inventory, please abandon both of them. Variks will offer you a chance to recover 1 bounty if you visit him in the Reef. Please note, you will not receive multiple awards for having 2 Elder Cipher bounties in your inventory.

Im still getting the notification on the reef, the error persist after the update or is just me...?? Bungie!!
-
Has been 4 days now and no summons. There is an exclamation point on the reef but nothing from variks.
-
Bungie, I think an Exotic Bounty thay involves you waiting is flat out ridiculous. Every other bounty requires fun active events to do, whether it be nightfalls, crucible, or searching around on patrols for random items, but to sit here and wait for god knows how long is just so stupid. Been waiting 4 days on 1 character and just started another. Fearing I might die before old man variks gets a clue
-
I also had the double drop last night and am currently at the waiting step. Can anyone confirm that by deleting both ciphers Variks will grant me one in their place?

Edited by thedoorto: 6/18/2015 9:15:09 PMIf we do not get the bounty back after abandoning them both is there anything we can can to fix it... Or are we screwed
-
Edited by Silvers S7: 6/8/2015 5:14:52 AMCan't choose any of the Elder Cipher bounty !!!!! ..
-
I'm waiting for Variks to decipher the bounty but there a has been a notification for a reward at the reef. It's been two days... This fixed yet? Or what steps should I take?
-
I got the elder cipher a few days ago. Im at the waiting part, but its already been 3 days. Ive had a ! Mark on the reef the entire time, and a notification for the outpost, but variks has nothing for me. Anyone else waiting this long?
-
Still not working
-
Waiting 3 days so far. Same exclamation mark on my reef marker, but when I show up....nothing. Are you really sure this has been fixed?
-
NOTHING WORKS ON MY GAME, FIX THIS I CANT USE ANYTHING IN MY INVENTORY
-
Bounties don't pop up at the bounty tracker, finished my 1000 for variks that's won't pop up, can't abandon any bounties now, fu$k this broken ass game!!!!!!!!
-
Any update Bungie? 5 days after a single cipher drop, still waiting for Skolas, still seeing the Reef notification, but Variks is still mum... Any update beyond "we fixed this (for a few)" would be awesome. It obviously is still a bust for several of us. Thanks.

Edited by HardWayToMakeIt: 6/24/2015 7:22:25 PMThere's also another problem, you can't delete the cipher. That's what I've heard I only have the bow and dregs promise. Also same deal with TDB girl, I deleted the urn you get from xur now there's a constant green square... Really annoying.
-
Edited by SilverShadow7: 6/19/2015 5:13:16 PMIm disappointed that i cant turn in tokens to Variks because i dint have any reputation because i don't have the dlc and I'm not going to buy the dlc so i can turn in tokens.
-
why have it drop two if you can only get one??
-
Has maintenance for server finished?
-
got 2 elder ciphers from skolas now with hearing of all the glitches im afraid if i turnn one in they both get used up
-
what happens if i just want to abandon the bounty after i have already completed it 3 different times? i tried to abandon it but it keeps popping back up
-
Varkis is taking forever. I have a bounty on all my guys still waiting to be summoned
-
I've been waiting 4 days and it is really making me frustrated with the game...Isnt it supposed to only take 3 days max? I dont want to Abandon it either because its my first cipher.
-
I have 1 with my warlock still waiting for him to summon... Seems to of glitched because I have been waiting since last Thursday.. shows an exclamation mark on the reef marker but nothing please sort your bad programming out.
-
Edited by YUNG FAM25: 6/20/2015 4:28:21 PMI have 1 with my warlock still waiting to be summon back. How long does it take been waiting since. Thursday Then I have the glitch ciphers with titan i abandoned both those. Then resume 1 with varkis. But still telling I have 2
-
i have one that i got last night and one from 3 days ago they are on 2 different characters is this what you are talking about cause I did do the POE with each character on lrv 34 and 35
-
HEY EVERYONE I had the exclamation point over the reef for 3 days after the fix without being able to do the next part of the bounty. Logged in today and variks allowed me to do the next step. So I guess it is fixed , but for some reason the exclamation point is still there.
