#Season18 #Destiny2 #BountyPrep

[BPhillipsgg]

Don't clean out your vault before the new season. Clean it out at the beginning of next season to get Banshee rep. TWAB last week said that you will be getting more rep for dismantling legendaries next season so mark it as junk in DIM and pull it all and start breaking down.

[SushiJuice]

Might also want to add that if you have friends who bounty prep and get to the seasonal XP boost, you'll want to jump in with them to gain a little extra XP when turning in your bounties

[howlingbee]

Thanks for everything you do very informative and well worth watching

[chibioniyuri]

Thanks Ebontis. Really informative and well put together

[Nexuish]

Probably not going to go hard on bounty prep this time, but I did find the tip about weeklies vs daily bounties helpful.

[TheAshfyr]

Thanks for the info about the Eris bounties. I never bothered taking them for bounty prepping, since they didnt say XP++. Good to know it is just an oversight on bungie

[unclereaper]

Great video as always. Always look forward to your next video. Can't say I like those double 15 second ads though!!

[furionmax]

Everything on my end is good to go. I got my god role armor finally and it pairs well with all of my class exotics perfectly.
I got eighties in resilience and eighties in recovery. With a few mods. If I master rank all of my stuff I get a ten plus stat bonus to all of them making them in the high nineties.
And thanks to my configuration. I can mod them for either high resiliency or recovery with a few mod swaps.


It's not exactly what a god role would be considered but it is a sort of swiss army knife set that can be changed at any time through mods without doing a total equipment swap.

[kevincarter]

Should you encrypt all engrams before season end?

[OBELISK]

Wish i new about the dreaming city bounties 5 weeks ago so i could of done all ascendent challenges.

[douglasclark]

you can't complete skyburner oath catalyst in leviathan or duality -- I just found out the hard way

[ThatGingerDd]

Are XP boosts additive or multiplicative? say I'm already 100 on the season pass and I get a total of 32% xp bonus, is it a total of 44% with blinding light?

[patrickcarr]

What is the process to turn them in and get the most XP. I assume, do the new season up until you get the new artifact and then turn them in. Also does it matter where you turn them in i.e. in Orbit or at some location.

[lindamarzano]

Next week if you look at the stuff we get at reset shaders, emotes blah blah it shows the quadracycle for bright dust but the solstice event ends this week .. is it a bug or will they still sell stuff from solstice event even though this is the last week ?

[oldmanjaphy]

Kills on Derelict Leviathan doesn’t count towards Skyburners catalyst

[dyscalculic]

Did they fix Petra's bounties, weren't they historically not worth for whatever reason?

[F-aber]

I think acendant challanges are bugged right now they havent been spawning for me two weeks in a row

[emilveje]

On my third character the ascended challenge lost sector has no enemy’s it’s that a bug?

[Himhova]

dumb question but can you turn in the same bounty on all 3 characters? Like If I did the same weekly bounty on all 3 characters can I turn them in on all 3 characters?

[akurami]

"Save your exotic engrams" prep step is pointless, they will not add more World Pool exotics, and just put every exotic behind Lost Sectors, which, as a casual with bad rng, sucks.
