Shadowkeep is just four days away from now releasing next week on Tuesday on Weekly Reset. As usual, Bungie released their weekly blog-post This Week At Bungie earlier today. Today’s TWAB contained a lot of information and patch notes about what we’ll be getting in Shadowkeep. If you don’t know, Bungie will be updating the Eververse, and Bright Dust Economy along with how Glimmer, Spider’s Exchange works. Below, you can see the complete changes Bungie is bringing to the Bright Dust economy in Destiny 2.
Bright Dust Economy In Destiny 2 Shadowkeep
If you’re hoarding bounties for Shadowkeep, we have some bad news for you. In today’s blog-post, Bungie confirmed that they will be resetting every Gambit, Crucible, and Vanguard bounty that is not redeemed before the scheduled maintenance on September 30, 2019.
Bright Dust
- Bright Dust is now earned by completing Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard weekly and repeatable bounties
- We chose to grant all of Bright Dust from ritual weekly bounties rather than spreading it out across the weekly and daily bounties so players could more easily earn Bright Dust without having to make sure they complete every single daily
- Players will be able to do the repeatable bounties as many times as they like
- Any Crucible, Gambit, or Vanguard completed bounties need to be turned in before maintenance begins on 9/30 as these changes will reset them; other bounties—Gunsmith, clan, Eververse, etc.—can still be claimed after Oct 1
- Eververse items no longer dismantle into Bright Dust, and instead grant legendary shards and glimmer
- New Eververse items for Season of the Undying will become available for Bright Dust two weeks into the Season
- Eververse items no longer require Bright Dust to reacquire them(or re-roll perks) from Collections; instead, they cost the same materials that reward items of the same type/rarity use
- Fireteam Medallions have been removed from the store, deprecated into Fizzled Fireteam Medallions, and can now be dismantled into Bright Dust to recover their purchase price (50 Bright Dust)
- Gleaming Boon of the Vanguard price has been lowered to 150 Bright Dust
- Gleaming Boon of the Crucible price has been lowered to 500 Bright Dust
Eververse
- The Season 7 Best of Year One Engram has been retired, and in its place, players can now obtain the new Season 8 Nostalgic Engram
- The Seasonal Milestone no longer grants a bounty; instead, it directly grants a Bright Engram
- The Season 8 Nostalgic Engram is no longer earned at level up
- Instead, the Bright Engram is now included in the free rewards of the Season Pass that are visible before level 100; it’s also awarded every 5 levels after level 100
- The Eververse storefront is now available via the Director
- Eververse bounties (standard and IGR versions) have been deprecated; any remaining bounty notes can be broken down into Bright Dust
- You can still complete and turn in any outstanding Eververse bounties until they expire
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep will be hitting PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, on October 1, 2019, and later in November on Google Stadia.
