Dares of Eternity weapons farm: How to get them
With The Witch Queen, Strange Coins can no longer be earned from completing activities in the game. This means farming Dares of Eternity loot became much harder. That said, the situation is finally improving. With the release of Season of the Haunted (S17):
Increased Strange Coins earned from the reward chest in Dares of Eternity from 1 to 3. This does not affect the number of Strange Coins earned from Lightning Round chests.
This won’t bring us back to when Bungie’s 30th Anniversary launched, but it will certainly help ease the process.
Pinnacle and Powerful rewards
Finally, as an added bonus, Dares of Eternity also reward Pinnacle and Powerful gear:
Source | Location | Power increase | Frequency | Fireteam needed? | Fireteam needed | Requires | Requirements | Type |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dares of Eternity (250,000 score) | Eternity | +2 | Weekly | No | No | Free-to-Play | Free-to-Play | Pinnacle |
Dares of Eternity (3 completions) | Eternity | +3 | Weekly | No | No | Free-to-Play | Free-to-Play | Powerful |
This will definitely help you level up at the start of the season!
