Since the start of Destiny 2's Season of Dawn, players have been looking for any and every way to accrue XP. While the Season has its fair share of new content, many players have put their focus on completing the Season Pass and unlocking all of the goodies that the 100-tier system offers. Now there is a new way to gain XP fast in Destiny 2 and it doesn't require much effort from the player.

The latest Destiny 2 XP farm arrives courtesy of the new Empyrean Foundation event that started this week. As part of the event, players are tasked with donating Polarized Fractaline in order to accomplish 7 different goals. Bungie won't say what the Empyrean Restoration effort will eventually lead to, but rumors and leaks suggest that it will be the precursor to the return of Trials of Osiris in Season of the Worthy.

Obelisk Bonus Speeds Up Bounties

But while players are donating their Polarized Fractaline to the Tower Obelisk, there are a few bonuses that unlock along the way. Arguably the most useful is a boost to the completion of Timelost Bounties by 25% per 100 Fractaline donated. So players can complete a full Season of Dawn weapon bounty in a matter of seconds, assuming that they have saved enough Fractaline. It's a good thing then that Destiny 2 players started saving their Polarized Fractaline ahead of time in preparation for Empyrean Foundation.

The XP farm is fairly straightforward but it does exploit one of the flaws in Destiny 2's Tower Obelisk. For some reason, players can pick up a lot more Perfect Paradox bounties than they are supposed to – usually about 6 or 7. Additionally, Destiny 2 players can pick up other Timelost Bounties for other weapons connected to the EDZ, Nessus, Mars, or Tangled Shore Obelisk.

What players want to do is pick up as many of these Timelost Bounties as possible, starting first with the Perfect Paradox bounties and then any other weapons they may want. There are a few Season of Dawn weapons that are worth farming in Destiny 2's latest season, but it ultimately depends on where players spend the majority of their time. Some Timelost weapons are better for PvP and some, like the Breachlight sidearm, are better for PvE.

With as many Timelost Bounties as the Quest tab will allow, players then want to donate their Polarized Fractaline to the Tower Obelisk. If done correctly, donating 400 Fractaline should complete all of the bounties.

Now, once the bounties are complete, Destiny 2 players will want to maximize their XP gains. Make sure to:

  • Equip a Ghost Shell with the Guiding Light Perk (10% bonus XP from all sources)
  • Join a fireteam member with a high Season Rank (for the fireteam bonus)

Depending on if these are the first Season Ranks of the week, players will get bonus XP up to five total ranks. Either way, this is a very fast XP farm and it's repeatable for as long as players have Polarized Fractaline. There are also a bunch of different ways to get more Polarized Fractaline, including a weekly withdrawal from the Empyrean Foundation.
