Cosmetic Items
As mentioned previously, the Eververse will be stocked with new cosmetic items that can be randomly obtained from Dawning engrams. You’ll get one for completing the new weekly Milestone, Spreading Holiday Cheer, which requires you to participate in the Mayhem Crucible playlist.
Alternatively, you can also speed up the process by buying engrams directly from Tess. Here’s what it’ll cost you:
- 1 Dawning Engram – 200 Silver
- 3 Dawning Engrams – 500 Silver
- 5 Dawning Engrams – 800 Silver
If you’re new to Destiny 2, it’s worth mentioning that Silver serves as the game’s premium currency. Which means that you can’t simply earn them by completing in-game activities; you have to pay real money to get Silver, which can then be exchanged for more engrams. Essentially, you’ll have to shell out real dollars for the new cosmetic items if you don’t want to grind for them. The new armor pieces don’t offer statistical boosts, though, so there’s no worry of being comparatively weaker to another player in Crucible who’s opted to buy the new gear.
If the idea of Silver doesn’t appeal to you, it is also possible to buy some cosmetic items with Bright Dust instead. Bright Dust is another type of premium currency that can be earned in-game by dismantling items you got from Bright or Dawning engrams. For instance, if you receive duplicate items in your engrams, you can dismantle one of them to get Bright Dust. This can then be exchanged for select cosmetic items that Tess is currently selling.
At the moment, these are the items that are available for Bright Dust:
- Holiday Cheer – 2,500 Bright Dust
- Breath of Stars – 500 Bright Dust
- Dulcinea Shell – 400 Bright Dust
- Icecapade – 400 Bright Dust
- Silver Dawning Lanterns – 450 Bright Dust
- Winter Shaders Pack – 150 Bright Dust
As you can see, some of the more coveted items will require you to fork out even larger sums of Bright Dust. Given how difficult it is to grind up levels in Destiny 2 after hitting the level cap, you’ll need to spend a rather significant amount of time unlocking engrams and accumulating Bright Dust to buy these items.
That’s all you need to know about Destiny 2 and the new event for now. Be sure to check our wiki for more information on the game.
