Essence of Dawning is the primary currency associated with Destiny 2’s Dawning 2021 holiday event, and players that want to do some baking will need to farm for it. Fortunately, there are a couple of great methods for obtaining Essence of Dawning in Destiny 2, and fans that spend some time focusing on them should amass the currency fairly quickly. For those players that would like to know more about Essence of Dawning farming, details can be found in this guide.
Destiny 2: How to Farm Essence of Dawning for Dawning 2021
The fastest way to earn Essence of Dawning centers around Destiny 2’s Cryptolith Lure, which is found near the Crow at the Tangled Shore. Upon obtaining the Lure, players should access it from their Quests and put the Prey Mod: Savek into its first mod slot. The other two slots should be filled with dormant mods, and fans should follow the onscreen prompts to activate the Lure and start a Wrathborn hunt when that is done.
With the Lure activated, players should make their way to the Wrathborn’s lair and zone in. After loading has finished, fans should immediately remove the Prey Mod: Savek from their Lure, to prevent any charges from being expended, and complete the Wrathborn hunt in Destiny 2 to earn some Essence of Dawning. Players should then abandon the activity and continually repeat this process until they have enough of the currency.
If a player is not interested in pursuing Wrathborn hunts, then Destiny 2’s Legend Lost Sectors provide a reasonable alternative for farming Essence of Dawning. That is especially true if a player puts in the effort to assemble a fireteam, as the extra firepower should make clearing these activities a breeze. Again, the Cryptolith Lure method that was previously outlined is likely to be the faster option, but its repetitiveness may be too much for some fans to handle.
To note, Essence of Dawning is certainly not the only thing that players will obtain while they are executing these two farming methods, as they should expect to also collect a number of Dawning 2021 ingredients. Those ingredients include Taken Butter and Destiny 2’s Null Taste, and they are used to bake the treats that this event focuses around. While it is true that players can obtain these materials more quickly by farming for them specifically, it is still nice to earn some while collecting Essence of Dawning.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
