STOP making these mistakes when Weapon Crafting & Power Leveling 

For the goa farm, just don't dunk the engrams. You can stack up to 100 burdened by riches and at that point you can just let yourself die. The encounter doesn't reset and you can keep farming away, my personal favorite for focusing on leveling single primary or special weapon. When I'm trying to level multiple weapons though, I just do strikes, each match made strike completion gives you around 25ish percent per level per weapon on top of all the enemies you kill.

Dares is solid for heavy weapons with the unlimited heavy in phase 2 and potentially phase 2 if playing on master. Its not as fast or efficient but you get additional progress in dares and can get XP/drops from it to help get more red borders.

Another tip to make your farming faster; don't use the default roll all the way up to whatever enhanced level your weapon is. Say you're leveling the new Ammit auto. Instead of just staying with the first craftable roll you get, upgrade it to get incandescent as soon as possible, since this will make the kills rack up so much faster and save a ton of time.

In The Deep moon mission is a hidden gem for weapon leveling. Its better than Mysterious Disturbance. It's on a weekly rotation if you have already beaten it with all characters. In order to do it, you progress the mission up until you get the cryptoglyph (about 5ish mins). IMMEDIATELY upon getting the cryptoglyph, the room goes dark and two acolytes spawn at the top. Kill them and walk up the stairs a bit until the ship across the distance spawns. Turn right back around and head down the stairs to just above the first landing. Thrall will infinitely spawn here and just funnel themselves single file on the left and right sides. Seriously, you do not even need to move your character. I maxed my Ammit the other day in about 40 mins. Cant say if it's faster than Shuro chi but it's way more chill.

4:07 You really don’t need to pay attention to the timer. Worst case scenario during farming: you cap out at 100 stacks and can’t pick up anymore. You can always just…. die. There’s no consequences at all for doing it. Sure, you have to run like maybe 5 feet, but other than that there’s no issues. Ammo on the other hand, yeah that’s understandable. Edit: People have pointed out special finisher, which I kinda forgot existed in the game lmao, so that solves the special ammo problem. For heavies, running dares is the best cause infinite heavy ammo.

If you do want to use GoA for weapon farming, I would recommend doing more than one weapon at once, whether it’s leveling up crafted weapons, or finishing exotic catalysts. That way when you run out of special or heavy ammo, you can swap to the other one, or your primary and get kills on that weapon until enough bricks drop for you to use the main weapon you were leveling again. I tend to use GoA for exotic catalyst farming and do multiple exotics at once. Plus don’t forget that with finder mods, ammo drops more frequently from primary weapon kills, and exotic primaries are even better. So if you’re leveling a special or heavy weapon, definitely make sure you’re using an exotic primary to help you make more bricks

That thumbnail appears misleading. It looks like you're saying to stop using Shuro Chi

another tip for teather placements: if you have a tether before getting the flag, shoot it at the closed door before starting it, then grab flag and then start the encounter. that way you have a tether for the first group and then youll have the flag's tether for the 2nd wave and so on.

Little note about Goa: Picking up ten engrams refills your super, allowing you to abuse Special Ammo Finisher and Power Ammo Finisher.

Nice vid as usual but nobody ever mentions staggering knight kills so you get max waves of thrall for each Shuro Chi run. If you clear all or at least most thrall and *then* kill a knight or the Eye it spawns another wave of thrall. So instead of 60-70 kills a run you can get up to 100 before wiping. The extra 30-40 kills a run add up quick!

If I may add one more location to the leveling list: in the Cosmodrome, hit the lost sector at the back corner of the area where the Spider Tank spawns. A good mix of targets, spinmetal resources, and power ammo on the house.

A good farm on the Moon isn’t the first mission, it’s the “In The Deep” mission. At the end of the mission, when Eris goes apeshit and you gotta run out of the Catacombs, get to the entrance where the massive staircase is and stand in the doorway. Thrall will continue to spawn, about 4-5 at a time sometimes more, and they sprint at you. Doing this method is super easy, only issue is having to A.) own Shadowkeep and B.) waiting for rotation of the mission. I’d only recommend Shuro Chi if doing heavy weapons and maybe some special weapons. Having to constantly die breaks to flow (at least for me), hence why I try to avoid it as much as possible.

I recommend the “In the deep” mission of the Shadowkeep campaign. At the last part of the mission, where you will have to pick up the lactern of enchantment, you’ll need to kill 4 of the linear hive on the top, and then the little hive will spawn infinitely in a pretty fast pace. If on the titan, put on lorely when you run out of ammo and just sit with a emote. Very nice.

Hey all, kinda new to destiny, but I think I found a very efficient way as well: if you have the exotic misson "Darkness in the Light", step 3 of 7 is to complete a mission, a variant of the Corrupted strike. Right after the first enemies, there is a stairway to your right, with an ogre and some adds. If you back down to the middle of the stairs, thralls will spawn forever, and die with 1 shot. Did with brigands law and tarnished mettle, both lvl 10 in less than 1 hour!

You could also do heroic nightfalls for weapon leveling they give 45-50% progression just for completion and more for weapon usage plus the added bonus of cores and shards while leveling especially with ghost mods on

oh my goodness that echo of expulsion part makes soooooo much sense now. I was banging my head around in the dumpster because I was only getting 20% progress per run on Taipan-4FR

Don't kill all knights at once when doing Shuro Chi. Kill them one by one between ad waves. Each wave of ads spawns when you kill one knight and there are no thrall left. You can have up to 120 ads per wiped run if you do this properly. And no, tether doesn't kill them as long as you shoot only thralls. You have to kill them quick while tethered, though. Around the 2:30 minute mark, assuming you've killed the knights like I said, Shuro's tempo will increase and ads will stop spawning

For Shuro Chi keeping a knigh or the captain alive in the second wave of ads makes more waves of thrall spawn per run. You can get over 100 kills per run that way. I think the most Ive ever gotten is about 112 or 114 kills in one run. Consistently getting 70 to 80% per run.

I did this exact method to level up my Taipan and it was nuts how fast it went. Was getting up to 70% progress every try, and each try only lasted about a minute. Not bad at all.

Additional tip for farming Shotguns/ Fusion Rifles - pair with Heavy handed and a secondary arc armor mod. Generates special ammo back when "surrounded", which is constant until the last few Thrall. If you somehow run out of ammo, swap to a SMG to regen a few more shots.

I find a mysterious disturbance is the easy method. I ranked up so many catalysts and crafted weapons there. Easiest part is to pick up the lecturn, go across the bridge and then turn around and shoot the forever spawning thrawl.

I’ve found leveling weapons on the opening area of Preservation on throne world super easy, just have to avoid savathun’s attacks, hive spawns knights thralls and regs, just kill from side to side rinse repeat

Idk - it may not be the most efficient at all but I actually just prefer to use the weapons in regular seasonal and playlist activities - I'd be doing those anyway even after going to shuro chi to level, would rather just save the extra whatever 30-45 minutes of just mindless boredom or what not it takes to do it there

5:56 I agree here. I'm always on my titan but when I had to level my taipan I swapped over to my hunter (he's been collecting dust for some time since I ignored him when I started my titan) and put on deadfall to begin farmin

1:10 / 9:11 Note if the pattern is in your postmaster when you break it down, you will not get progress

Another way that isn’t as fast but still faster than just running around shooting is doing public events. Go to the EDZ and fast travel from public event to public event. Rally at the flag before each time to refill ammo and supers. Since there are events always happening across the EDZ, you can be constantly moving and picking up loot and glimmer if you’re getting low.

Don't forget the taken armaments mod for heavy weapons shuro chi! Free heavy ammo on grenade kills if you don't want to burn flags. This plus Orpheus, and a siphon mod matching your farming weapon mean you'll get your full super/ammo on every wipe. Also, devour fragment to easily stay alive.

I’ll add this for those who need something not as mind numbing: Completing an activity grants additional progress. So, if sitting around in one activity ain’t your gig, here’s alternate (not as efficient) options. 1: Rumble. 20% per completion, 2% per guardian kill. 2: Gambit. Approx. 2% per heavy kill, 1% per special kill, and .5% per primary kill. 20-25% per completion. Powerful Combatants and Guardians double percentages. 3: WQ Campaign missions on Legend. Same values as Gambit. 4: Pinnacle Raids. Each encounter completion is 20-25%, each kill is similar to Shuro Chi/Gambit values. High recommendation is Speed Farming Daughters encounter in KF. Get two birds stoned at once. 😎👍🏿

Another good one is the Infinite hoard part of the season of the haunted where you are supposed to "run" there is a sweet spot just after you leave the throne room where they wont really come near you whick makes for easy picking along with a surprising amount of ammo drops.

Just a quick note not mentioned in the video. If you like to put enhanced perks on your weapons, don’t dismantle red borders. Dismantling them only gives you 100 mats instead of 300 on completion. 1/3 doesn’t sound too bad until you need 2,000 for a single enhanced perk and have to share 20 weapons instead of finish 7. Faster sure, less rewarding in the long run.

If you are leveling up a weapon with incandescent all scorch and ignition kills caused by the weapon count for progress. Same thing with all void weapons and volatile rounds. This can be great if you want to bypass using tether or even hunter. Probably not as efficient but still faster than normal gameplay

FYI for all! In Shuro Chi, kill each Knight in waves. Focus the thrall then kill only 1 Knight. Killing each Knight separately spawns in a new wave of ads!

Use the fragment that gives you devour when you pick up an orb, it makes staying alive hella easy in both shuro chi and golgy farms

Suggestions: - Use orb mods over dynamo, you will be making many orbs and they each give the same amount as a dynamo proc. - Use the orbs to get devour to not care about HP - Use heavy handed to have infinite ammo for shotguns/fusions - Save a piece of raid armor and use LW mods like taken armaments for ammo on heavies

My method is a little different. I gun through the first wave of adds then book it to the steps to make sure I tether all the knights since they slow things down and that way I can also get possibly two more waves of adds. making sure I get those knights tethered makes a huge difference for me.

IF YOU HAVE THIS SEASON: Solo queue into an expedition by changing the date/time on your console. Idk how it works for PC. Able to get hundreds of kills as spawning is infinite, AND you can get up to 9 Plundered energy at the end of the expedition by jumping off the map and slotting in maps, up to 3 times. Works on any map. Heavyweight is also a prevalent modifier so you can level power weapons very easily here too.

At this point i just grind weapon levels until i get the base roll i want and then level them up naturally and slot in the enhanced perks when I unlock them. Its just too monotonous to sit in shuro chi for hours

Thank you so much for giving a shoutout to Luck struck 9, I’ve been using his bots since you first mentioned the discord and it has been LIVE CHANGING for my group. We sadly don’t always have the time to run a full raid so it’s nice to get a guaranteed boss checkpoint!

Exodus Garden 2A in the cosmodrome is probably the best heavy weapon farm, the lost sector chest will always refill you to maximum heavy ammo. If you want to save rally banners try running that.

Ngl I am still going to use the entrance to goa for a couple reasons you didn't get into. 1. The main reason I use it is for special ammo weapons. The thing about you getting your super every 10 engrams is that there is this fancy little mod called special ammo finisher. You get your super make 3 bricks and repeat. 2. You can also just NOT DEPOSIT YOUR ENGRAMS. Like you will die but it isn't a darkness zone so you just reset without having a loading screen and I will say is a pretty important part if you are someone with a bad pc or are on an older console. BUT shuro is still great I just like the entrance to goa.

Another good farm I saw recently was in the second second mission of the witch queen the investigation all you need to do is get to the part where you have to take out the barrier guards and as long as you don’t kill the lightbearing wizard you cans die and repeat the mission. There is a rally flag there aswell for non primary weapons and you get like 60-70 kills per run not the best but decent alternative

The mysterious disturbance was how I leveled my explosive personality. That thing is AMAZING.

As someone who's a non-raiding babyman, I had been loading up the Preservation mission in the throne world. Not a super ton of enemies but they are endless, and immediate upon loading in and only spawn in very limited locations. Just leave Savathun alive and you have endless mobs. I've only ever done this to complete red-bars before you could just delete them - so this might be a real crap method for actual leveling of crafted weapons. Grain of salt. I've had decent luck doing the public activity in Sorrow's Harbor on the moon.

I have 2 main farming methods. 1. Preservation start room. As long as you don’t kill the boss, you get spawning waves of acolytes and thrall in the middle, and knights left and right. 2. Start mission of Season of the Risen (Moon). I have only cleared this on my Warlock. As a result, I can go into the mission on my Titan or Hunter. Once you get past the Calus room, there will be endless respawning Cabal on the right side of the purple corridor. They spawn in groups of 2 or 3, good for GLs or Rockets. But as Fallout says, it’s not optimal and levelling primary weapons takes ages (about 100-125 kills per level). Also, as mentioned, you have to run ammo finders, reserves and scavengers to get enough ammo for special/heavy weapons.

If you are leveling a shotgun/fusion rifle, you can use heavy handed with an arc mod equipped to get free ammo when you get kills with your shotgun/fusion rifle

A mistake guardians make a Shuro Chi is players kill the Knights to quickly. TLDR Knights are the trigger for adds, kill all the Knights and Captain in one go and you just shorted yourself some progression. Space out the kills on Knights, to trigger more adds, but kill the adds quickly if possible, because once the timer is below the 1:30 mark, adds won't spawn.

I’ve never farmed shuro chi or any of that. It’s lame imo. I just use the gun regular and make sure they are equipped at the end of every activity. Especially when grinding a weekend of trials , if I’m not using the weapon I’ll slap it on at the end of every game

Grasp. You get constant mobs that are clustered and infinite super energy by collecting 10 engrams that you can use to regen special ammo on demand *using finisher mods.*

fun fact: new light nightstalker 3.0 starts you out with quiver by default. i restarted my hunter a few days ago and thought that was interesting.

Double Elemental Syphon for helmets is also mandatory, use them acording to the element of the weapon you are leveling(this means 4 helms of different elements) so it generates orbs on kills, stacking 2 mods of those makes the orbs give more super energy, this combined with orpheus rig guarantees that you'll reset with a full super to pop before placing the banner, and have a shadowshot in place, and another fully charged both right at the start of the encounter

To be optimal, pop tether on door, rally the flag and run to the door then kill 1st wave thats tethered after that run up and tether 2nd wave. save super after that for next run.

Regardless of which location you pick to farm, don't forget you can put the mod on your class item to give you green bricks when you finisher an enemy. I like that in GoA because the engrams give infinite super energy on demand.

No mention of pacing knight kills and timing last knight kill to 2:30 on the Shuro wipe timer? My personal best ever on Shuro Chi was 115 defeats. Your weapon needs to be pretty solid though, I always recommend slotting the best ad clear perks as soon as they are available.

Here is a little trick I found with goa, when you run out of your heavy equip sword ammo finder, change to a sword and kill enemies with an exotic primary, you will get 7 heavy bricks out of 11 enemies sometimes in a row or sometimes you only get 4, once they drop the ammo you go back to the original heavy weapon and grab the heavy ammo

The best and most efficient is to create weapons for each slot and just run Nightfalls on the easy mode. It will give you more than 30% on each weapon per run.

GoA opening, instead of dumping on the crystal, you can jump over the fence behind the cave, it spawns you on top if you stand up there for a few seconds, meaning you don't have to restart the dungeon, because you're jumping off the map to lose debuff.

My personal way of grinding up weapon levels is not to grind them actively at all. Not getting the weapon done in an hour or less isn't gonna kill me, so I just do whatever activity i need to grind for other things (seasonal challenges, getting red border drops of seasonal weapons, pinnacle grind, grinding playlist strikes for the seasonal weapon ornament) and use the weapon I'm passively levelling during that activity. Side Note - The mission after A mysterious disturbance in the rotation (In the Deep) has a thrallway. After picking up the cryptoglyph, just stay put in the area where all the wizards were and regular thrall will infinitely spawn.

You can just do font of wisdom for intellect with reaping wellmaker which covers the intellect requirement

I use the opening of vow, just past the Savathun door. Once you kill the Ogies, scorn will spawn for LITERALLY forever. It’s not as optimal as shuro chi, but I like it more

Another thing to add, I tend to use different helmets based on element of the gun, because the orbs from double kills feels like they give more super back, but mainly I combo this with High energy fire, so that I can destroy everything even faster. For anything not a Bow/HC/Scout/Sniper, the charged with light mods mods for the weapons for double kills with stacks on stacks means you'll normally always get a 20% buff the whole run, as well as leg armor orbs give you health. Lastly, don't sleep on ammo finders. Since you'll mainly be leveling up Legendary weapons, I rarely have to use banners because normally once you.get in the groove, you'll finish a run with super (or close to) and running an exotic primary with double finders when you need ammo, it drops really often. I think it's a very overlooked aspect that exotic primaries boost drop rate. It's especially better since now it's not limited to kinetic.

Another thing I see people often skip over is many activities, especially seasonal ones, will give you a sizeable chunk of weapon exp just for completing the activity (Like 20-30% depending on the activity.) and you can work on multiple weapons at once this way, it's not nearly as efficient but it's also way less mindless grinding as this way you're progressing your weapons by just, you know, playing the game. Only thing to keep in mind is if you have a weapon close to leveling at around 90% exp that when you might wanna hop into something like the GoA entrance just to top them off real quick since any exp that goes past a level doesn't carry over. (Probably some under the hood quirk with how the system works.)

They should make it where completing the deepsight will award 2 pattern progress to incentivize completing them.

Best way i found to level stuff up is to just do various playlist activities whilst using the weapon. For example, i've been farming ketchcrash and expedition and the activity completion gives a decent chunk of progress per level, alongside all the kills you're getting

The moon mission thing I found out a long time ago but I used it to grind catalysts when they got rid of the hidden whisper mission, which is where a lot of people used to grind catalysts in before it was sunset

I've fully leveled and crafted a lot of weapons this season. These are: - the Firefright AR - the Piece of Mind PR - the BxR-55 Buttler PR - the Likely Suspect FR - the Epicurean FR - the Nezarec's Whisper Glaive - the Defiance of Yasmin SR - the Taipan-4FR LFR - the Fixed Odds MG - the Red Herring RL - and the Other Half Sword And I'm leveling right now: - the Zaouli's Bane HC - the Submission SMG - the Wastelander M5 SG (almost done) - the Father's Sins SR (almost done) - and the Bump in the Night RL

I thought the opening part of GoA farm was nerfed, meaning adds give you half progress per kill compared to shuro chi?

One thing I'd like to point out. When you are shooting your tether, try not to hit an ad with it because then all the others around it will take damage and likely die if it's a bunch of thrall, then you lose out on all that progress. I never jump when casting my tether, always aiming directly at my feet if I'm surrounded by enemies

Best method for leveling weapons: Thrall room in Whisper mission 🌚

I used Golg 2 days ago for ammit and that went faster than primaries have ever gone for me at Shuro. ~30 minutes to take it from 4 to 17 (I had used it recreationally to get incandescent first). I had to level yasmin yesterday and I started out in Golg but on every run, unless I got lucky, ammo was always a problem and stopped me from using of Golg's main advantage: fewer wipes (and therefore less time between groups of similar size to Shuro). From my experience, Golg is good for primary ammo weapons only since you are never required to wipe for a rally flag, and as long as your weapon can keep up with the adds Golg will level you faster than Shuro. Otherwise, for weapons that need a deadfall tether for multikills, your point about choke pointed adds stands and shuro is better. A problem that needs solving with Golg is incoming damage, but the easy solution is to put a siphon mod on your helmet and take the fragment that gives devour for picking up an orb (you can even go as far as taking charge + protective light for even more survive)

You optimize weapon leveling and resonance. I get on crucible and just get pvp kills, we are not the same.

The golg encounter gripes you have are solved with either Devour or Restoration, doesn't matter what you do or where you go, literally can't die unless you do nothing

When farming at Golgoroth, equip Devour fragment, equip harmonic siphon, equip any void weapon to create orbs with, tether, pick up orb to proc devour, switch to crafted weapon you're leveling, every kill refreshes devour, never die and kill up to 450 adds with one rally banner.

You should really only be doing shuro chi for heavy weapons because it is the only archetype that can’t be guaranteed drops in conventional circumstances. For primary and special weapons, grasp is by far the best, it’s like a match made in Heaven. As far as engrams go, they are never a worry to keep an eye on and you can always just stack up to 100 and die. For special throw on all your scav ammo finder mods for your special weapon and run special finishers, 10x engrams get you to full super which equals AT LEAST 3 special ammo drops (full mods often drops double special from enemies) which is enough to fill most if not all special weapons. On top of this you will also passively be generating special even without finishers, and you can die at 100 engrams and repeat afterwards. Another thing to note is that all the adds are coming from one EXTREMELY SMALL CHOKE. This means you can mod your weapon for incandescent or firefly as soon as it’s unlocked and literally speed up your leveling like 5x. I kid you not I’ve shot like 2 incandescent sniper rounds into the cave and everything died. Trust me when I say grasp is the best way to go for primary, special, and catalyst farming. It also doesn’t require raid banners, obviously.

I still use the public event on the derelict leviathan for a few reasons: - Lots of stuff to shoot, and ammo crates between waves for Special/Heavy - XP at the end, 50% if you're burning off a red border, but also levels up crafted stuff pretty quickly - Ascendant Alloy drops, and legendary shards at the end. Throw on a "Public Event" ghost mod as a bonus I've been putting it off this season, but my vault's full of Red Borders, mostly primary and heavy. I'll swap between double primary while shooting stuff, and switch to 0% stuff during the boss fight so everything starts off at 50%. The heavies I just rotate as they finish. Shard 20 red borders and get 2000 resonant whatever, 20 completed red borders = 6000. That's an extra 2 fancy perks when crafting. 10 runs will get you a few fancy alloys, and burn off 20ish red border primaries, and 10ish heavy if you're paying attention to the percentages. That's 9000 resonant whatever, and maybe 4 alloys if you're lucky. So two full yellow-border weapons once they're leveled, which you can also do passively alongside red-borders if you want to.

I power level my weapons by using them while going through weekly activities. This is the most efficient method because I am a person with a family and a desk job. I progress both my character and weapon together.

Distribution on your cloak also gives super energy. Don't know if that's on purpose or a glitch but it works. If you dont want to run dynamo on your helmet, running double ashes to assets and using a grenade to kill one knight or the captain gives a big chunk of super back

A few things to add: Fragments: 1. Starvation (Devour on orb pickup; paired with helmet mod for orbs and an explosive light heavy makes it very hard to die [unless Shuro Chi one-hits you]) 2. Reprisal (Super energy on kills when surrounded; no brainer) 3. Persistence (longer Devour and Invis) 4. Whatev. (I use Dilation for Mob & Int Stats; Leeching for more healing when leveling a glaive) Don't shoot tether at enemies but the floor: As commonly known tether shares damage across all tethered targets. If you fire it at a thrall/knight/the captian you'll get 10 Super kills, which is not the goal. Use an explosive light heavy when not grinding for another heavy: You can always pick up orbs and which refreshes your Devour and heals you to full. And you can kill yourself fast with a Rocket/GL. Mods: Since you already spawn orbs for Devour, I use them for "Protective Light" via "Taking Charge", and use "Reaping Wellmaker" and "Elemental Charge" to make sure it always stays up. And please use marksman dodge, you don't need your melee here. Kill in the following order after the first wave of thralls: Thralls first (always) ONE knight or the captain wait for respawn and repeat Reason: (gonna be long, skip if not interested) The game counts the total amount of adds, thralls and the non-thrall adds (knights+captain) separately. To trigger a new wave of thralls to spawn you have to get below 5 adds total and have one non-thrall add less than in the previous wave. But as soon as the amount of non-thrall adds gets below 2 you will not have any additional waves spawn. This means if you kill all the knights and the captain in the first wave (you always get the first wave of thralls after the door so I count that as wave 0) and the rest of the thralls afterwards you will only get 1 additionail wave of adds since there are less the 2 non-thrall adds left in the second wave, which means no additional waves spawn in. A thrall spawn consists of 18 thralls minus the amount of thralls alive during spawn initiation. This means if you kill the knight/captain for a new wave to spawn, while 1 thrall is still alive, you will only have 17 thralls spawning. Which means if you want to get the maximum amount of thralls you have to make sure all thralls are dead before killing a knight. Btw this doesn't matter for wave 1 cause if you only kill 1 non-thrall add in wave one and still have one thrall up, you will still have 5 adds in total and a new wave won't spawn in. Extra Data: Initial thrall count: 24; Wave 1 adds: 4 knights, 1 captain, 18 thralls (up to; less if you don't kill the last 5 simultaneously in wave 0); every wave afterwards: up to 18 thralls If you do it properly you can get up to 119 kills in one run compared to only 65 if you kill all the knights + the captain immediately. Watch the timer: Adds will stop spawning as soon as the timer reaches 2:30. Finest Matterweave: Makes the captain drop an enhancement core every now and then. When farming weapons with Incandescent use smth else: Solar with Ember of Ashes, Eruption, Char, Solace and Empyrean; Mods: Elemental Armaments, Well of Live, Seeking Wells, Bountiful Wells. This does the job pretty well.

"I would rather 69 a polar bear" is the most random comparison I've ever heard. I didn't expect to be taught in rhetoric.

Grasp dungeon: You don't have to deposit at the beginning just make sure you occassionally grab one of the engram bombs when your timer gets low

3:30 First of all GOA enemies only count for half a kill on crafted weapons. Second of all you have zero penalty for dying outside of a small re-trek back to the cave. Woopty-doo.

Honestly I've never had an issue just leveling up weapons while I grind for other weapon patterns. If I still need patterns from Dares, I use my crafted weapons during Dares. If I still need weapon patterns from this season's activity, I use crafted weapons in this season's activity. This just makes the most sense for people that want EVERY crafted weapon like I do.

Good video to clear up current options and best practices. Granted, I still just stick weapons on my unused slots whenever doing yawn-worthy playlist content. Iron Banner even.

Great video. Just leveled my new BXR to level 23 in a few hours. Thanks for the tippss

It feels weirdly satisfying to know I've done this trial and error since weapon crafting became a thing and how the order of the points Fallout makes is pretty much the exact order I discovered things on my own, it's like asking for someone else's answer and seeing they have it exactly the same as you. Thanks Fallout.

One thing that wasn't mentioned is if you are farming all of the waves of ads in Shuro Chi, aim to kill all of the thrall first then one knight or the captain. That way you can get more and more waves of thrall to spawn. After the next wave of thrall, kill another knight or captain. Rinse and repeat and you can get yourself easily 85+ kills per run.

Hey, if you're low on Deepsight Resonance at all, don't just delete your red-border weapons. Unless it got changed last Tuesday, you get about 3x the resonance if you spend the 10 seconds finishing the deepsight objective, especially for ones that don't have a pattern attached. That being said, if it DOES have a pattern progress that I can extract I will sometimes "shard" it, if I'm feeling ahead on my amount of resonance tether. Just wanted to help out anyone that is still getting back into the swing of late game Destiny since a long break and doesn't have that maximum amount of Deepsight, or or low on the crafting material for whatever reason. It's like 100 resonance for just deleting the weapon and 300 if you complete the objective, but the numbers might be different if the weapon has pattern progress on it, I'm just not sure either way.

You missed one of the most useful tips for Shuro Chi farming, which is if you haven't got it already you can backtrack from the checkpoint on each character once per week to open the secret chest under the bridge until you get one armor piece which has the raid specific 5th mod slot on it, and the "taken armaments" raid mod, as it gives you the equivalent of one full bricks worth of heavy ammo every time you get a grenade kill, combine that with at least one weapon with demolitionist to get your grenade back quicker and you never need to waste rally banners when levelling heavy weapons.

Sharding the weapon only gives 100 mats whereas if you get the kills for the mats it gives you 300 instead

You didn't mention my go to levelling strat: Speed Run Nightfalls. A Nightfall completion gives 44% of a level to all your equipped weapons. Adept Nightfalls can often be speed run in ~5 mins. 2 runs, with 3 crafted weapons equipped, effectively gives you 6 levels in 10 minutes. It isn't as fast as shuro-chi, but it is slightly less mind numbing, and you can get vanguard rep/rewards while doing it.

It's great, I made a video a while back when crafting came into the game and almost everyone commented saying that using shuro chi was not the best way to level weapons. I still use it to this day tho bc it obviously was and still is.

For golgoroth, one thing you can do is put on echo of starvation fragment so when you pick up an orb you get devour, this way you can run and gun as much as you want without dieing as fast The other advantage to golgy is ammo, if you don't wanna drop 30 raid banners to level up ur heavy or sniper gogly has enough ammo drops (feels like more then chi) so you don't have to worry about placing another banner. U still get 10 mins and in that time I'm getting about 350+ kills Last thing is what kind of weapons it's best for. For linears I found it far easier to kill a line of ads with the side hallways then the ultra instinct taken thrall in last wish. But if I want to level up say a hand Cannon. Chi might be better as you can hit more one shots on those thrall then on the adepts and acolytes. Or if you want to level up a rocket launcher chi would be better because you have more space. Hope this info helps out people who want it.

An addendum at 7:40. It's much easier to pick the thralls off at the door from a distance as they'll just wander around it so it's just a waste of a super.

If you are running low on resonant elements, and you get a deep sight weapon, DO NOT IMMEDIATELY dismantle them. It will give you only 100 re, and using and completing the deep sight will give you 300 re. Once completed you can safely dismantle

I’ve found that luckstruck’s bots get a full party pretty regularly with shuro chi. I was trying to join one yesterday and a friend of mine was able to input the wish completely on his own before I was ever allowed into the bots party.

Hey Fallout, if you add Reaping Well, Extra Reserves, Elemental Charge, Charge Harvester and Super Charged, you wont ever have to worry about not having special ammo (you just have to run a void weapon for the void kills) might be overkill but its there if you need it

You can actually do GOA almost eternally as I realize the other day that every time you pick up an engram it resets the timer and you don’t cap out until you’re at 100.

In the deep moon mission. Grab the cryptoglyph run halfway up the stairs then jump off. Afterwards respawn and head halfway up the stairs turn around and kill endless thrall as they feed your way from the cryptoglyph pedestal. You’ll level one level about 4-5min. No need to use flags or a be hunter on tether just sit there and shoot until you achieve the level you’re after for the perk you need. Tether and shuro may still prove better on say a sniper since you’ll have no super energy while on those stairs in that encounter.

Yep, happy shuro-chi abuser here! Couple of things to add: Having double harmonic/kinetic/element specific syphons in your helmet nets faster progress than dodging with dynamo, just get 2 helmets with arc and solar, for the respective syphons. Also, don't need any intellect, just put font of wisdom and reaping wellmaker, then dodge before killing the closest thrall so you get max INT for 30 seconds. During the second wave kill only one knight, so the 3rd wave can spawn. Rinse, repeat. If you catch the rythm of things, you can have 100 kills in more or less 2 minutes, your mileage may vary. You need about 2150 kills for reaching lvl 16.

Grasp of Avarice start is actually quite bad because the XP per kill is heavily reduced, unless they fixed that. Also, if the engrams explode, they actually do damage to enemies, which lowers that even further.

Grasp of avarice ammo problems for special and heavy ammo is manageable with Special ammo finisher or Heavy ammo finishers, with scav and finder you get plenty. just pick up 10 engrams in the encounter if you need more super energy to generate ammo.
