Along with The Dawning live event in December, Destiny will soon allow fans to purchase the exact Ornaments they want through a new kiosk in the Tower.
Ornaments were a new feature that came to the game in Destiny: Rise of Iron, adding a layer of customization to exotic weapons and armor. But the only way to get them has been through Radiant Treasure, which players can earn once per week by completing a Heroic Strike. Other than that, players would have to visit the Eververse store and buy more Radiant Treasure via microtransaction. But the Ornament that would come out of the Radiant Treasure has always been up to random draw.
Not anymore. In two short days, Destiny will add an Ornament kiosk in the Tower, which will allow players to visit and purchase the exact Ornaments they want without having to hope they get lucky with RNG. An Ornament will be the same cost as the ones that the weekly vendor Xur has been offering: 25 Silver Dust.
The kiosk will be added on December 13, when The Dawning event goes live. In an interview with IGN, Bungie executive producer Scott Taylor says the kiosk comes after Bungie has heard the feedback from fans, which led to this kiosk being added to the game.
All the weapon Ornaments will be available from the Ornament kiosk, including the upcoming new Ornaments for Thorn, The Last Word, Black Spindle, Red Death, and the returning Ice Breaker. Now that Festival of the Lost is over, the Ornaments for Bad Juju have been moved out of Treasures of the Lost and are in the regular Ornament loot pool, meaning they will also be available from the new kiosk.
Although Bungie has not specified, this Ornament kiosk does not seem to offer raid or Trials of Osiris Ornaments, which are high-tiered rewards for completing raid challenge modes and by going Flawless, respectively.
Radiant Treasures aren't going anywhere—after all, that’s how players collect the Silver Dust necessary for this micro-economy — and there will still be the opportunity to find a desired Ornament by luck. Ornaments that may be repeats or not wanted can also be dismantled for 5 Silver Dust.
This looks to be a great addition to Destiny, as it continues a trend of Bungie finding avenues to reward players with the exact loot they want in the game. The Ornament system as it has functioned is very restrictive and up to RNG, so giving the player more choice and a determined path, especially one outside of microtransactions, is a welcome change.

Can't wait for my Lingering Vestige Telesto!
-
First and only one I'm buying is the black spec ops one for the Mida. Anyone else doing the same?
-
and more choices especially with micro transactions, if I am paying I should be able to get what I want, I don't go to the deli and spin the wheel hoping I get the ham and cheese sandwich I have been craving lol.. Bravo bungie..!
-
Microtransactions are lame. If you buy them you are even more lame by supporting lazy devs.
-
When does the dawning update drop? I know its today but is it at IB time or reset time?
-
All this changes, for a game that will be abandoned in 9 more months.
-
Now, can we buy from the kiosk? Or just re-obtain already obtained ornaments?
-
Honestly speaking, I'm against any form of in game purchases for Destiny. You know that D2 will almost definitely be infused seamlessly, with ingame purchases of various types, right!? For myself personally and, perhaps a great deal many others that would be a deal breaker.
-
Cool. I'm sick of opening boxes each week just to get the same ornaments over and over. Now I'll need to decide between special ops or the white witch ... 🤔
-
Can't wait for my golden Monte Carlo! <3
-
Scott Taylor says "purchase the ornament you like with Silver" in the IGN video. Where did you get 25 Silver Dust from?
-
If only dismantling ornament equipped exotics would yield silver dust... I'd have another good 25 dust from my Khvostov, Truth, and Telesto.
-
Should have Hard light and No Land Beyond ornaments.
-
Idk what ornament to get... [spoiler]u just baught rise of iron and have 20 silver dust.. and no ornaments.. debatingon the white ice breaker or the steel red death[/spoiler]

So funny reading people say that they have been "robbed" etc. No one at Bungie has forced you to buy anything in this game. Nothing on sale for real cash, gives you any actual in game advantage over another player. It's all cosmetic, and on a random drop. Adding a kiosk now is another way to entice the buying of dust. Once again, no one is forcing you to do it. Yeah, the flaming armour looks cool, and I want the whole set, but so far I have only been able to collect enough ornaments for 2 parts on my hunter. So be it. My red Monte Carlo looks cool too. If you chose to spend money already, that's your choice. Just like I chose to buy all the DLCs trying to get a full games worth of content. Bungie didn't force me to after the Vanilla release. I chose to, and live by my own choice.
-
Amazing idea. Too bad people will find some way to complain about this.
-
-blam!-ing finally. Now I can get my Tribal Juju 🤤
-
You missed an even better feature. If you dismantled your Class Special (Still Piercer, Susanoo) you can REBUY THEM FROM THE GUNSMITH COME THE DAWNING! :D I did this by accident so it's awesome.
-
Does anyone know what time the Dawning Update will be released tomorrow in the U.K.?
-
Hell yeah. I want superspy for my Monte Carlo or a Gold Truth. I swear I've got not a toy for zhalo like 3 weeks in a row in addition to Xur being a douche about it and trolling me.
-
Well time to get some more ornaments I don't want to exchange them for ones I do want
-
I wonder if you can buy ALL ornaments? so even the new Bad Juju one everyone is talking about? that would be nice!
-
Soon enough the tower is just going to be one kiosk...ugh.
-
Another chance for Bungie to take money away from people lol
-
Hello moonglow! Nice to meet you!
-
Any word on vault space guys?
