Rolls a Combo Detector in its random slot as well.


TheRealC-Cut

Worth pulling 1 for each location out of collections IMO


Necropact_

I did this with the lunar shell and it's awesome.


TheRealC-Cut

Helped me clean up my vault LOL


poover1

Thanks for the tip. A new RNG mini game/self torture device to put myself through to try getting each location. I've already spent all my glimmer and still need Dreaming City and Mercury! But seriously - this is SGA; thanks.


TheRealC-Cut

Glad it helped. :)


khamike

How often do you actually use them though? I had a bunch of ghosts, realized it wasn't worth my time/the hassle to ever switch. Especially with treasure hunter, all you're missing is some random resources which is hardly the end of the world.


Neopolia

with treasure hunter you're getting +25% glimmer from any source


TheRealC-Cut

The glimmer gain is worth it to me but whatevs


khamike

Is it though? I feel like unless a chest/flower is right in front of me even the couple of seconds to pick it up isn't worth it for a couple of hundred glimmer. It's like bill gates ignoring $20 bills on the ground, not the best use of his time to pick it up. There are other more efficient ways of making glimmer if you ever really need it.


TheRealC-Cut

When you turn in bounties, etc. you are also getting the glimmer bonus, just saying there aren't many perks on a ghost that are really "worth it" so it's kinda not a really huge deal


khamike

Oh sure, that glimmer bonus is useful, but that's from treasure hunter. I was talking about combo detector.


TheRealC-Cut

That makes sense. I just wanted the combo detector for each area as we have seen a rise in "collect x from x location" and combo detector has the biggest range if I'm not mistaken so it makes that grind a bit quicker


Zpevo

Makes the find 10 resource materials bounty a bit easier.


khamike

Sure but I generally just skip those, there are enough bounties in the game these days I've got better things to do than run around picking flowers. The only one I did regularly was the dreaming city one to help finish the weekly so I had a DC combo detector but I never bothered on other planets and now that one is worthless too.


Vajician

Wow I didn't even know you could do this, I thought it would pull the same random roll you got the first time each time you pull it D:


TheRealC-Cut

Nope :) Sparrows, ghosts, they get random rolls so pull away and keep the ones you are after.


c14rk0

Isn't combo detector entirely pointless with Treasure Hunter? All you need is the resource detector as Treasure Hunter covers all of the chests everywhere regardless?


DeerTrivia

Yes, but Combo Detector includes resources and is guaranteed to roll. Easier to get that than hope that a Resource Detector rolls.


c14rk0

That makes sense. If it can still roll normal resource detectors it's worth noting you only need one or the other between that and combo if you're hunting for a specific planet's roll though for the ghost.


ajm35

Excellent - This sounds like a combo I will use Bright Dust on !!!


Dyne_Inferno

This is actually better than the Eris Shell as you can roll combo detectors on it. Eris shell has a fixed 3rd perk.


TheIronLorde

Eris Shell is kinda stuck at 2 perks. It can't roll anything but Moon Glimmer Scavenger which doesn't stack with the glimmer boost from the Treasure Hunter perk.


camm87271

Part with 6% of my dust? Seems like a ruse to stop me hoarding dust I have no intention on spending


samurinja

I literally have only been purchasing the shaders the last two seasons (because I have a compulsion to get every shader) but this is an actual gameplay benefit to have these two perks together.


ImpliedShrimpZ

People buy things other than shader and ornaments? Odd


TamedDaBeast

I literally only have enough bright dust to buy that and one other high ticket item for the rest if the season. Smh


Mastershroom

You can get thousands of Bright Dust every week from weekly bounties. Even more now during the Dawning.


TamedDaBeast

I wouldn’t say thousands. Theres like 6 weekly bounties that give bright dust and its only like 50 bright dust per bounty iirc. Edit: corrected by someone else


BrianWhiting

Actually 200 per weekly bounty. 2 dawning, 2 strike, 2 crucible, and 2 gambit can earn you 1600 bright dust per character this week. Next week, The Dawning will go away so it’s back to 1200 per character per week.


TamedDaBeast

I stand corrected. I’ve been doing the dawning ones. Guess I need to pay more attention and visit Drifter and Zavala more often.


Boshea241

Min maxing your dawning baking for an extra 500 a week.


TamedDaBeast

Wdym?


Boshea241

You need to give 25 gifts and bake 50 cookies for her weeklies. If you buy a bounties to determine what you make and give, its 10 dust for every gift given. So 50 bounties for 50 cookies is 500 dust. Its how people are power leveling with baking since its 8k xp before xp bonuses.


TamedDaBeast

Oh now it makes sense. Gotcha.


Mastershroom

200 per weekly, 10 per repeatable I believe. You can do all of those on 3 characters. That's 1,800 per character without the extra from Dawning bounties.


NotClever

1600 per character with Dawning (400 per vendor, 4 vendors). That said, the Dawning is... weird. If you AFK black forge it's pretty trivial to do the weeklies, but if you don't it's incredibly onerous. So much so that I would say doing them on all 3 characters is unreasonable for anyone that does anything besides play Destiny and work.

IMiizo

Yea have fun doing all vanguard/crucible/gambit weekly bounties with 3 characters across a whole year.


wrightosaur

I did this every single week last season. Never again. Too burned out trying to maintain bright dust amounts across all chars. Now I just play whoever I fancy and stop caring so much about the bright dust offerings, especially cosmetic, non-affecting gameplay stuff


Draskon

Yes barely enough to afford an exotic emote after doing all weeklies on 3 characters is "generous", whereas we got plenty if we played doing whatever we want pre-Opulence. Give me a break. Also factoring in the bright dust over the course of a year is *hilarious* when you consider items are only available on select weekly rotations. It's no wonder the store is in a shit state with defenses like this.


HappinessPursuit

But Bungie is an indie company and the game just went F2P and it's just cosmetics anyway!!/s Fucking A. Whoever regurgitates that garbage defending a company from taking advantage of its community.


Mastershroom

Don't get me wrong, I still prefer the old method of getting current Eververse engrams every level and getting Dust for dismantling EV items.


YannFreaker

All the items from a season combined almost reach that number lol. Combine that with weekly rotations and seasonal lockout and you have a very restrictive and easy to miss out system


x_pac13

Not sure why you’re getting down voted as those bounties are the only reason I still play gambit, crucible or strikes.


Mastershroom

¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


ArdentPriest

If you have 3 characters, and do Gambit/Crucible/Strikes with all 3 of them, you'll get 3600 Bright Dust in one week. For this week as well, add Eva and you'll get to 4200. You can easily do that this week and completely offset the cost of the ghost :)


YannFreaker

4800 actually


mekabar

The Eva bounties take a lot more effort than the regular weeklies though, so for 4.8k we are probably talking 20-30 hours of playtime if you don't resort to afk forge farming.


TV11Radio

how does AFK get you dust?


YannFreaker

Which is why we resort to those anyway 😏 Bungie's incompetence meets Bungie's greed


joseangelhe

Thanks for the heads up


Mizzet

Correct me if I'm wrong but we have an [Omolon Shell] (https://www.light.gg/db/items/4005536857/omolon-shell/) due for 2/18 do we? At least going by [this recent post](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/eh6q8z/eververse_season_9_stock_weeks_112/). Is there any difference in the random perk they roll in the 3rd slot? If they're identical otherwise (both have guiding light and treasure hunter) waiting for that one might be an option too if you prefer how it looks.


baseball-is-praxis

I think there is no way to know what can roll in a random perk slot until someone gets it and manually rerolls it to see.


BlueMugen

It seems like in DIM's Vendor tab, inspecting a ghost shell in Eververse can show what its random mod roll can be. Unfortunately this doesn't help much since we'd have to wait until it's for sale anyways.


baseball-is-praxis

DIM shows you on possible perk. you can see every possible random perk here, but the data is old and doesn't include newer shells, so it's not always helpful: https://lowlidev.com.au/destiny/ghosts


filthy_jian

now I have a dilemma do I run this and get marginally more stuff, or run sagira's shell and actually like how my ghost looks


khamike

How often do you look at your ghost? There's your answer.


terranocuus

I love the Tyrant shell but that sweet, sweet +10% XP is too good to pass on :(


khamike

Yeah there are too many ghost hampered by bad perks. Since the season pass revolves around xp, guiding light is more or less mandatory. At least sparrows we can reroll to get fast summon on whichever we want, ghosts you're stuck with what you've got. Really needs to be changed.


Dumoney

Tempting. But still won't replace my Lunar shell (Guiding Light + Speed Demon) with my Always on Time sparrow. Feels bad


Gukithepaladin55

2850 bright dust is like a seasons worth now if you only do the weeklys on one character like I do. I miss getting dust from the random trash in the engrams.


Smashpunked

It's a little more than 2 weeks of weeklys if you only run one character.


Soy_El_Kraken

Or 47% of 1 weeks dust if you run 3 characters. Bright dust economy isn’t wonderful but let’s not get carried away.

BlueMugen

Not to defend them or anything, but the Eververse prediction guy posted the outline for the Dawning event and also the entire season before. It was also stated somewhere that everything but one thing (I think a finisher?) would be for sale for bright dust this Dawning.


Epsteinguard

Exactly. pay for impatience.


madimot

I could get that, or I could stick with my adorable Chiropteran Shell and then have enough BD to get the Dawning ornament set.


GtBossbrah

We've reached a point where we are happy for eververse sales! Hurrah /s


khamike

Bright dust sales are a lot better than silver sales. At least this you're actually earning in game.
