@@hunterblack9778 it’s possible, trust me lol it’s not “needed” but it’s something to aim for when sifting through pieces. & For some reason, when I turn in emblems through the random armor engram, I get way less than I do when I pick a specific piece. Not sure if you’re getting that issue or not as well. Maybe it’s something they changed this season…

Important to note you have to focus a specific piece you cannot do the random 1 engram roll.

Returning player here, last time I really played the game was Forsaken. Thx for the guide.

Thank you for this very important information. As an OG veteran Destiny player, I learned so much from you especially this particular season. I pride myself on having triple stats (no artifice armor) on all or most of my elemental load outs with exotics, but not on all 3 of my guardians (hunter & warlock, 2 stats each). So now, with the help of your video, I’ll work on my other 2 guardians. My tip to all is: save your high stat armor as you play the game for each part (helmet, gauntlet, etc). When you’re ready to create your build, pull out all those pieces that will synergize with your build. Keep the great content coming.

Once you get a ton of high star armor after farming the activities he mentioned you will still need to go to DIM and let it pick your armor.

This the first video on this topic I’ve watched that actually made me understand how to do this. Subbed!

Nice video. To the point and clearly explained. Thank you.

Duke, thanks for this video man. Trying to get back into D2 and this video is very well detailed, and you're very easy to follow. Thanks again, and keep up the great content!

Thank you! I forgot all about Failsafe! Since the War Table is gone I didn't know where to go. I should've known that whatever vendor was in the H.E.L.M. that's would give good armor

My friend! Thank you so much for the info. As an OG veteran Destiny player… I know this might be old info but still goood to go back and refresh your memory and learn new things.. you got ur self a sub! Keep the goods! 🔥

Thanks for the video very helpful. When focusing armor, you can do the random one too or does it have to be a select a specific piece?

Phenomenal content, keep up the great work. Going to farm armor now

I hope the future new dungeon haves a chill boss to farm for Artifice armor, I need a lot for my Hunter and Warlock.

I normally don’t engage with videos, but Ty. 😂 I been putting off harder content because I felt like I had to hard grind good artifice armor first. Your logic makes sense. Grueling for an extra 12 points doesn’t really make a lot of sense anymore to me now. 😂

good vid man i actually understood the vid very well done gg's

My personal requirement for a piece of gear is for it to have 3 different stats of 20+ with a mod/masterwork. Great guide for beginners and returning players. I didn't know Xur could sell artifice armor now, so that's cool. Got a new sub from me!

defo gave me something to do between weekly resets

does do face to focus on each armor peice itself or can you use the random selection at the start sincei only costs 1 engram to maybe get 1/2 good peices before you narrow it down

Do you place all of the armor focus you want on the ghost? Or one at a time?

What is the seasonal activity for the pale heart? Haven’t played in soooo long

Depending on your build if you need mobility, being Amplified gives you 50 already and it is quite easy to maintain so you really only need 50 in mobility on the character sheet.

I didn't know exotic ciphers were limited to 5 in the inventory, I freaking did a nightfall last night and the cipher was a drop and it didn't give it to me. Right after that I discovered that exotics can be made into artifice armor... Then I bought xurs warlock artifice helm... that was a series of events I now regret happening.... it sucks being a solo new player

Such a good guide, thank you

As a hunter what should I focus on

The changes to exotic armor ar the biggest change it so awesome to get an amazing role in case you only have one cipher & you are debating what to do either make a sub par piece artifice or do a 3rd tier focus do the focus don't make shitty armour artifice even if you strike out there is a good chance that focused armor piece will still be better than what you got. Don't make shity artifice armour.

What is the first seasonal mission , start with that cause I’ve done a bunch of shit and nothing took me to this planet

Unless you starting with zero good armor then anything lower than 64 is deleted. When picking 3 stats (Resilience , Recovery, Strength) you want a minimum of 2 with 20+points and one with 10+points to keep it. I also keep various stat points of the same stats to help balance exotic armor. Maybe both Helmets have the 2x20 and 1x10 but I would keep 1 with the 10+ in resilience, 20+ in Recovery and another with 10+ in Recovery and 20+ in Resilience. Hunter is very annoying and I have to keep more armor. I also keep a top 3 (mobility, resilience, recovery) split of 15/15+ points especially for Hunter as it tends to distribute better at times.

That's the exotic class item; you'll have to do a run of Dual Destiny to unlock it. Dual Destiny requires a bit of a secret quest to unlock it (as in, a precise series of steps without clear in-game instructions), which is why you won't see a node on the map for it unless you've found the mission already. I won't spoil it here; google it if you want a play-by-play, but I will say that you will need exactly 2 players to run Dual Destiny and I would personally recommend just finding a friend who has it unlocked already to launch you into it rather than doing the secret stuff, since it's pretty tedious and not especially interesting.

I must be so unlucky, today I focused 88 engrams at the helm, I didn’t get 1 price that was better than what I had, I can only make 100’s in discipline & Resilience with recover around 60-70, so it’s either that or 3 x 80-90..

dude you could have just explained the Stat buckets

so uhh.. what shader is that? lol

In other words, you must do the same as you did with Riven vendor 🤷🏻

Yeah spend the 2. You'll get the helmet if you want a helmet at least

sad that Artifice armor so hard to get 68 rolls.....

Should maybe point out that you should make sure (for non hunters) anything > 2 on mobility is a wasted stat. I wouldn't even look at most of the pieces you call "decent" ... a 67 with 18 in mobility is worse than a 57 with 2 in mobility. So priorities are #1 have 2 in Mobility (so not to waste points, for warlock and titan), #2 have a high stat roll (something > 65 the more the merrier), #3 things that add up to 5s and 10s after upgrading to tier 10 etc. (or at least be close, 99 is as good as 90, that is 9 wasted points). Same goes for Artifice Armor ... a roll of artifice with 5 mobility is at best as good as a normal "high roll" on a legendary with 2 mobility, only bonus being you can round numbers off better with the 3 stat to choose. To be better than a regular high roll it needs to be Obviously hunters are different and you will need to add some stat mods to ever get to triple 100s. Max you can get is like 69x3 (high rolls) + 72 (ish exotic) + 5x12 (5 Items with + 2 on each stat for golden border) = 339 (ish, didn't look up exact max rolls etc.) that is 33 effective "stats" (within a 10 range that actually gives a bonus). Then you can get 5x +10 with mods (and theoretically another 15 with artifice). so 38 to 40 is the maximum effective 10ranges you can ever get with super rolls adding up to fill exactly 10s. However the lowest a stat can be is 8+10 = 18. So your going to loose some from that. 3x100 is not that big of a deal imho. Just go for 2x100 (but don't go too high, give yourself some flexibility with the mods to top things off). Aiming around 80 in the important stats is a good rule of thumb there. Also destiny armor picker ... a must mention when optimizing armor really.

What shader is he using??

Trippin. Last season was the easiest but this season you passively get a lot of echo engrams. You could do both and probably still get echo drops but if you stock pile them then spam random armor with a focus mod, throw them all in the vault, then destiny item picker makes it super easy to make trip 100.

Is it just me, or do you HAVE to have the season pass for this????

What do you expect? This guy is a casual gamer at best. The dude took 16 minutes to explain how to get high stat armor 😂

First❤

I've been doing that recently and I've come to the conclusion that Bungie just hates me. I had a Discipline mod on my ghost and focused an engram. I rolled a piece with a total of (12) Discipline and like 42 Intellect. I shit you NOT. But it doesn't lie. I did get at least +10 Discipline. I dunno if anyone's done and number crunching but I'm almost positive the stat distribution does not have equal rng. I'm betting Intellect has a much higher chance of rolling a boost over anything else, followed by Mobility, then Resilience, Recovery, Strength and with Discipline having the lowest chance of getting a boost.

I only recommend to my friends, using tier 1 focusing if you haven't reset rahools reputation yet.

Disagree with this man only do tier 3 focusing tier 2 is a waste tier 3 is always high base stat armour it may not be exactly what you want but as long as you get a high stat in one of the 3 it is a great start to focusing around it. DO NOT WASTE A CIPHER ARTIFICING SHITTY ARMOR. Get a good exotic piece & go from their. You can waste you exotics on tier 2 but good armour is few & far between.
