Yeah, I burned through a huge chunk of my glimmer trying to get some. Think I have 2 or 3 now that I'm holding on to.

Mine has been very "feast or famine". One point I got 2 within 3 events of each other, another time I was doing them for a good hour and a half before getting one.

Public Events are a case of diminishing returns at this stage, got an exotic this morning and it decrypted the same boots I was wearing except 3 LL lower

Bought that weird Warlock Chest piece the other week.

Put it into the inventory of my Warlock yesterday.

Got an exotic engram from completing the story mode yesterday - Same stupid chest piece.
Got an exotic engram from a Raid chest (underbelly) yesterday - Same stupid chest piece.

Milestones should provide powerful legendary engrams that are 5 light over your current score (minus mods) or plus 10 in the case of an exotic.

The Milestone legendary items may not have a mod attached.
Mods add +5 to your light levels. So all your other gear may have mods on them.

You need to check the Milestone gear and see what it would come in at with a mod attached.

The is:dupe and is:dupelower filters are great for identifying duplicates to shard in DIM.

I need this. How does it work?
Not sure I'm using the right app. I just typed in DIM into Google and downloaded what came up probably along with a ton of malware

As much as Phone Apps are great and all, DIM is worth while using on a Tablet or Laptop if you can as you can seriously blitz tidying up your Inventory. Don't forget: stuff with yellow borders have Legendary Mods

Cool that's the one I'm using. Didn't realise it had such advanced features I've just been using it to switch gear between characters.

Forgot to mention the frustrating part when other morons come along and try to steal your kills, you tend not to get as much done then.

Hopefully this is the right place:
Just started destiny 2 on PS4 the free version. What would be the best package to buy unlock all the previous content?
Also can destiny 1 raids be done on D2?
TIA

My introduction to this game took place in 2020, and since then the game has undergone significant changes and unquestionable improvements, which is not unimportant for games of this type.
