Data-Driven Destiny - New Fastest Exotic Class Item Farming | Destiny 2: The Final Shape 

UPDATE: Dual Destiny double loot has been patched. Thanks for watching! What system in Destiny do you wanna see me breakdown next?

If you didn't know, there's a technique called "skimmer skating" that I rarely see people use. You essentially, grind the air, stop grinding, dodge right, and then immediately grind after. Doing this allows you to keep your dodge momentum into the grind, and if you repeat this, can be extremely fast compared to normal grimding.

Fantastic video and update. I really appreciate the amount of effort you're putting in to help the community. Currently at 43/64 on my Hunter without the roll I want and 39/64 on Warlock without the roll I want. Hopefully the new route will help me get it in the next couple days.

Tip for The Impasse, you in fact do not have to clear the blight bubble once you enter, same for the The Landing & The Blooming if those ever spawn on you. Each place has at least 1 blight bubble that will “trap” you. Just fast travel to the area you’re in, & boom. You’re out of the bubble without having to complete the event.

Great video! Nice to see revisions to old stuff as you learn more.

Thanks for putting the time in to make this video. I have been wondering about this.

Great work. Numbers about estimated time to get a roll is quite interesting. Thank you.

This is an amazing level of research. Thanks for all the data. ❤❤

Great video, thank you very much. I really liked the route from your last one (going clockwise). I spawn in and try to hit the encounter as you enter. You can usually do this before the chests even spawn. Then I do the shrieker at the bridge as well. Both very quick.

I coded a bot for a different purpose that I modified. Runs in the background, when it detects that a chest has been opened (it watches the screen) it records what was acquired. Im also gonna do my own data stuff Unfortunately it doesnt keep track of time, but the data here is very valuable too, tysm!

How did u do that charge on 2:20? How it works?

Hey, you gave us Casual Gamers (pun intended) a very reliable way to get our class items, so in my humble opinion you deserve every bit of support you got in the last two videos!

Great video with some very interesting information. I have been farming chests for the class items almost exclusively in the Landing. One thing i have noticed that is extremely consistent is getting the class item to drop sooner when I'm on Overthrow level 3. I've been farming rep for the ghost resets for the triumph and been casually doing the overthrow events and chest farming at the same time and that's how i came across this. For the last 4 days I've focused on getting up to overthrow level 3 and stopping then and exclusively focusing on the chests. Somewhere around 600-850/1000 I'll get a class item. I compare now to before when i first started and would ignore the overthrow completely and sometimes go 45 minutes+ between class item drops. Take my information with a grain of salt but i think the overthrow level might act as a multiplier for the drop rates (or at the very least have some effect on it). It's way to consistent to be RNG.

Maybe a dumb question, but do i have to do duel destiny first and acquire the gear first before doing this farming method

Thanks for all your work dude

A question to ask: Once we complete a route, shall we transport to somewhere else or just wait for chests to spawning again?

A minor but pleasant speed add is to get the "always amplified in Paleheart" -perk...

When you say older ghost mod? Do you mean the old chest only ones? Are those still available???

Do you have to complete Dual Destiny before the class items are available to Farm in the Open World

I actually had started doing these same runs to test out the odds last week, mainly cause I'm a solo player so free roam is more comfortable than a forced fireteam. And what you have sounds about right for what I've seen with open world faction chests. There is some part of me that feels like chests from overthrow activities, overthrow lvl 4 boss, the darkness memory chests like expunging or offering, mini boss chests (like the ones received for pathfinder nodes "open chest from killing so and so"), and high value target chests, all have different odds than faction chests. Mainly because each of those chests provide a different number of points: like 25 for faction, 100 for high value, 250 for darkness memory ones, etc., so it would make sense that odds are different because the value is different. But I haven't gotten around to testing it yet, and honestly not sure how I would go about doing that. Another thing I had been keeping track of is if dying and changing locations affects odds of getting the exotic from these chests. I've had a handful of people tell me that when they have changed locations, theyd go from a drought to immediately getting one. Which could be coincidence, but I've noticed more consistency to hitting on every 20-25 faction chest when I would alternate between landing, blooming, and impasse. As for dying, same thing. It could be a coincidence, too, but I've had instances where while in the same location, I would hit after 20 or so chests, not see one after the next 40-50, accidentally die to missing a ledge or running into an overthrow thats just 3x very aggro ogres and 3x even more aggro shriekers, and then immediately get it within the next 5 chests. It's almost as if dying resets the counter, but I still have a lot of testing to prove if that or changing locations has any influence. I also should probably test the combination of both, as well. I've also kept track of whenever I would get a pale heart engram, of course not including when I got one from the ghost vendor rank going up. Which I did more because people say farming the chest arent worth it, and I wanted to show that it is between the exotic, the engrams, the glimmer (now that we dont have legendary shards), and the ghost rank. But a lot of my stats have the engram popping up a few chests before the exotic, but never at the same time. I don't know if there is anything to do with that, just felt to include it since I was already here. I didn't track when I received traveler mods, but from what I can remember, I've received those alongside engrams and exotics, alike. So I don't think they warrant any tracking for influence like the engrams do. Either way, good stuff on the stats. Maybe this info could help you a bit, probably not though. As much as I feel like changing locations, dying, or different chests having different odds is possible, chances are its just in my head and I'm wasting my time looking for it. lol

So after one lap do you keep going or go to orbit and fly back in to spawn a new instance?

Seems to me there is a cooldown after finding one. Have you ever gotten 2 class items back to back or under 10 min apart?

Went from “exotic class item farming” to “how to wellskate” Thanks 🤝

Here's another question, it doesn't seem like each chest is 2.47% right away. It seems like I never get a drop from a chest right as I start farming. Fastes drop I've got was around 12 minutes into farming. It's like there's a lockout/requirement before I'll get a drop. Additionally, if it's pure chance there would be times where you would get two class items very close together. But again, seems like there is almost a cooldown between drops during long farming sessions. So my question, what's the fastest/shortest time between drops during a farming session that you've seen? Also, love the data you've presented!

Could you do something similar for ergo sum? And those ciphers from Xur/Rahool sound interesting too!

Great Video. What’s everyone favourite roll?

Just to be clear, you have to unlock it by completing that Dual mission, right?

bonne vidéo, même si a aucun moment j'ai les mêmes stats que vous. personnellement j'ai 1 exo toutes les 25min pour les coffres. donc pour moi il n'y a aucun monde ou la route de coffre est plus rapide que 23min pour 2 exo dans la mission dual destiny. je suis le seul qui ne drop jamais sur les coffres en patrouille??

I don't know if you tried this, But does Public Defender ghost mod increase the rates of the drop?

I get 2-3 a night out of about 5-6 hrs of hitting those chests. My first night doing it I got 6 in 1 hour but it dropped the next day after reset.

Now after the nerf this is the fastest farm for them. TFS is a great expansion so far but this just shows they are still stubborn with stuff like this... they should've made this bug a baseline feature instead of nerfing it. Also episodes seem to bee a watered down, drip fed seasonal thing with just less contend that is timegated. They have to keep on delivering now instead of laying back and doing such things.

Not sure if anyone knows this but after i did dual destiny i got around to unlocking the new heavy trace, and when doing i believe the second mission (i dont think it matters) upon clearing one of the sections of the missions i got the exotic class item out of the chest. So not sure what the drop rates are for those on the hard coop missions but you can defintely get them from the chests and not just the final chests literally any of the chests can drop it

Did you get apotheosis star eater yet? I'm 60 bonds in 20 dupes and 40 different rolls out of 64 total rolls...aka my rng sucks lol.

Am I going insane or are all the chests in the landing divided into 5 *fixed* groups of 5(or so) chests where only one chest spawns per group per initial spawn?

do i need the boss spawned or not because most of the chests just arent there

I enjoy solo running. Have the 2 random players do the activity then i can help them with the boss after😅

More destiny optimization plz

Can I still get exotic class item drops from chest even if I haven’t done the Dual Destiny mission?

Do I need to do the dual destiny before it can drop in pale heart?

how do you do the super slash with the sword? please tutorial

I have to unlock the exotic first before doing the chest farming?

This is also rng based. I get drops far faster on lower played characters than I do my main. My main pulls 32 minutes, my warlock pulls 21.

Glad to see you reversed the route, counter clockwise is so much more optimal

why would an older ghost shell work better for the wombo detector?

Isnt if just fater to drive around in a sparrow?

I think a combo of over-through with the landing seems not as painful.

That's exactly what i do since the exotic class item came out kkkk

This needs a huge buff

It’s faster to switch between the zones and when your at the landing wait 40 seconds for the chests to spawn you’ll get 5 then just repeat

how do you even get a skimmer ?? im just getting back into the game

A farm for enhancement cores/prisms would be appreciated :). Unless the answer is just Master/GM nightfalls because that's what I'm currently doing haha

Keep in mind that when you get a chest drop, the drop percentage resets. So even though on average it might be 1 in 50 chests, you will never get two drops back to back.

Since when do casual gamers make spreadsheets to optimize item farming lol

If you're only grabbing that chest at 2:20 and not going in the large ogre/shrieker cave you could be missing a chest.

After even more farming I’m like 99% sure there is a cooldown once you get a class item from a chest. I farmed the Landing for 10hrs on Sunday. At the beginning I got a class item from the 2nd chest. The next one didn’t drop until chest 107. Then the next chest was 89. Then the next one after that was 83. Not a single class item dropped after 40-50 chests. All of them were 60+. My lowest chest was 63 and 64 and they weren’t consecutive. I’m very suspect about the 40~ chest drop rate being thrown around. In total I opened 3300 chests the average number was 79 chests to get a class item to drop after a class item drop. I didn’t leave the zone at all. When I got to the level 4 boss I left it up and continued farming. I didn’t count time since I was an all day thing and I was getting up every 30 minutes to do something around the house.

What side arm is he using???

The apotheosis star eater roll doesnt exist for me i swear. Ive got to be at like 90+ rolls with 46 unique rolls (some dismantled so probably around 50ish). 50 unique rolls not the roll I want tho

The problem is i have done this over and over. It takes 1-1 1/2 hours for 1 drop.

Has anyone ever gotten 2 chest in a row to do a class item? One day, i got one and then logged out for the night. The next day the first chest i opened had another one in it. They were literally the exact same roll. Galanor/wormhusk I was excited and then immediately disappointed lol

How do I reset the chests?? Do I just wait?

Nine hours to get a coinflip percentage on the one or two useful Titan rolls and I’ve already gotten doubles. Bro it’s so over.

Bruh bungie should just make it buyable from rahool like rest of the exotics. Exotic engrams

This whole farming thing is real serious lol

Mother fuckin sythos + inmost light refuses to drop man, my titan needs that crap bad

Not running a Mountaintop is also trolling ngl

Well… now that the bug is patched, time to run chests

Average DD time 14 mins hahaha... Not for most players. But solid info regardless

I have opened hundreds of these by now not a single class item has dropped

Did anyone get theirs past 100 chests; I suspect it is guaranteed at 100 chests.

Basically it's 50-60 chests per item I have averaged it out at

titans: well shit, guess i can just carry my slow ass back to tower.. screw you guys.

Double drops patched!

Average clear for dual destiny at 15 is ridiculous. Most are doing 20-25 at the very best

I opened 781 and i got 1 exotic so i think i got a world record

Saving all of you 10 minutes of watch time, farm chests at the Pale Heart, your welcome

Finde die quest so fürn arsch wenn man die danach aus wq truhen farmen kann ach ja bungie hat das ja gemacht....

Mind you, the "average rolls until desired" is per character. So an average of 30 hours for all three characters for a specific roll you want with all of them. Yikes.

say data properly.. WHERE IS THE R IN DATA.

I found 3 ppl who fucked up the extra class item yesterday. If i do it again im booting the person before loot and they can blame bungie for not allowing me to solo it and get 2x loot cus its not worth running for a single drop. Ill be chest farming from here on out cus 100% of players think they are good and i dont know how many are good cus i think the number is less than 10. Not 10%.... Just 10.

You're trying waaaay too hard brah, it's a farm, turn your brain off and just go get chests. It's that simple. This is just you reaching for content.

So fake numbers, you didnt count the time between chest spawn its not even close to run the mision, its like 30 min per item
