Spoils of Conquest are a special currency in Destiny 2, introduced with the Beyond Light expansion. They are essential for acquiring specific raid gear and exotic weapons, especially those no longer obtainable through regular gameplay. This guide will help you understand how to earn and use Spoils of Conquest effectively.
Spoils of Conquest are legendary currency items that players can earn exclusively through raid activities. They appear as golden hexagons with raid symbols and are stored in your inventory, up to a maximum of 240. These spoils can be used to purchase raid weapons and armor from vendors at the end of certain raids or to buy legacy exotic weapons from the Monument to Lost Lights in the Tower.
Earning Spoils of Conquest
To collect Spoils of Conquest, you need to participate in raid activities. Each raid encounter and hidden chest offers a specific number of spoils:
- Modern Raids (e.g., Vault of Glass, Vow of the Disciple, King’s Fall, Root of Nightmares, Crota’s End):
5 Spoils per encounter and 5 per hidden chest. - Legacy Raids (e.g., Deep Stone Crypt, Garden of Salvation, Last Wish):
3 Spoils per encounter; hidden chests do not grant spoils.
Note: Hidden chests can only be looted once per character each week.
Best Farming Methods
1. Templar Encounter in Vault of Glass
The Templar boss fight in the Vault of Glass raid is one of the most efficient ways to farm Spoils of Conquest. This encounter is relatively straightforward and can be completed quickly with a coordinated fireteam. By saving the checkpoint before the Templar fight, you can repeatedly defeat the boss to earn 5 Spoils each time. With efficient runs, it’s possible to accumulate a significant number of spoils in a short period.
2. Ir Yut Encounter in Crota’s End
Another effective farming method is the Ir Yut encounter in the Crota’s End raid. This boss fight is manageable and can be completed swiftly with a well-prepared team. By rotating checkpoints among fireteam members, you can continuously farm this encounter for Spoils of Conquest.
3. Solo Farming Hidden Chests
For solo players, certain hidden chests in raids can be accessed without completing encounters:
- Vow of the Disciple:
The first hidden chest can be reached by destroying three Darkness resonance crystals during the opening barge section. - Vault of Glass:
Some hidden chests can be accessed using out-of-bounds glitches or by obtaining specific checkpoints.
Each of these chests grants 5 Spoils of Conquest and can be looted once per character per week, allowing solo players to earn up to 15 Spoils weekly.
Spending Spoils of Conquest
Once you’ve accumulated Spoils of Conquest, you can use them in several ways:
- Raid Vendors:
After completing certain raids, vendors appear that allow you to purchase weapons and armor you’ve previously unlocked. Standard items cost 20 Spoils, while Adept versions cost 25. - Monument to Lost Lights:
Located in the Tower, this kiosk lets you buy legacy exotic weapons that are no longer obtainable through their original raids. Each exotic requires 240 Spoils, along with other materials. - Deepsight Harmonizer:
You can spend 15 Spoils to activate Deepsight Resonance on raid weapons, aiding in weapon pattern progress for crafting.
Tips for Efficient Farming
- Multiple Characters:
Running raids on all three of your characters increases the number of Spoils you can earn each week. - Checkpoint Sharing:
Utilize checkpoint-sharing methods to repeatedly farm specific encounters without completing the entire raid. - Community Resources:
Join Destiny 2 communities or use Twitch checkpoint bots to find groups and share checkpoints for efficient farming.
