Destiny 2: Collecting Every Free Exotic in One Stream

I attempted to collect every single free exotic and Destiny 2 in one stream and I know what you're thinking that's impossible and normally I'd be inclined to agree with you but nothing I'm going to tell you about anything in the story today is normal also I'm giving away $30,000 in this video so make sure to stick around so you can see how that works for those of you who watched my collecting all 222 obtainable Exotics in one stream video you're going to be familiar with how this goes after posting that video I got a ton of positive feedback that I really need to thank you guys for but one comment that I did get a couple times was I'd love to do this challenge but I don't have the money to do it and that's fair I spent quite a lot to make that challenge possible so this time we're going to be doing a challenge that anyone can follow along with so buckle in and grab some popcorn as we set out on a journey to collect all 99 obtainable Exotics that cost $0 and0 in one stream if you end up enjoying challenges like these make sure to hit the like button and if you're new go ahead and subscribe as we'd love to have you and if this video hits 5,000 likes we'll attempt this challenge again when final shape comes out and all the episodes come out with it also I'll be doing more challenges like these at twitch.tv/ cbay so if you want to see these live make sure to come check us out now let's get back to the million-dollar question how is this possible well under the normal limitations of Destiny challenges this wouldn't be possible but our challenges aren't Destiny challenges they're Pokemon challenges it doesn't matter if you need Pokemon Gold Pokemon Silver and Pokemon Crystal all that matters is completing your Pokedex and that's how we're going to be tackling our problem we're going to be using multiple accounts of Destiny 2 to make this possible there's always been something something so special about collecting Exotics in Destiny just like completing your Pokedex and Pokémon admittedly Exotics and Destiny 2 have become way more common to get than Destiny 1 Galah horn gah horn I got the gah horn so I've always wondered just how hard it would be to obtain Exotics in this game when you have zero dos to spend well let's find out it's also important to note that we're going to be including every single exotic in the game that's free and that means raids too the only exotic we're going to be leaving out is a apparent as Guardian Games isn't until the springtime everything else is fair game now that we have you up to speed let's go over some preh hurdles and challenges that we had to take into account before starting a challenge like this we won't mention all of them as there's too many to go over before starting this challenge but let's talk about some of the important ones first off how in the world can I get nine exotic ciphers in one stream well if we take into account the new light Cipher you get the season pass Cipher as well as the Cipher from Zur followed by waiting each week for another Zur Cipher this would take at a minimum seven weeks and I don't have a month and a half plus to do this having multiple accounts is going to solve this first hurdle and it's going to allow us to get all the Exotic ciphers we need without needing to wait nearly 2 months side note this hurt extremely bad in the all exotic challenge video because every single time I bought a kios exotic on a new account I had to buy that DLC again luckily this time we don't have to do that the second hurdle is how are we going to get the raid Exotics that require RNG to obtain well once again this will be solved by having multiple accounts if I'm unlucky and fail three times at to raid exotic then I'll just have to create another account and try again hopefully RNG won't be too brutal but we know how this always goes the final hurdle was figuring out what Exotics were free now this may sound obvious but it wasn't and I'll give you some examples iora gives forsaken armor Exotics for free but can you obtain exotic armor from forsaken for free without iora also Monte Carlo is a random drop shadowkeep exotic weapon that can be obtained through an iora Quest but can a free-to-play player use it the these were questions that we were going to be setting out to solve and I won't spoil the answer to those questions this challenge took me 16 days to do when collecting all 222 obtainable Exotics when I could spend money so the goal when doing just the free Exotics where there's only 99 of them is hopefully to get this done in one week now lastly let's go over some rules one I can use as many accounts as I want but they have to be completely brand new accounts two I can farm raid checkpoints as long as I did a full completion of the raid first three I can't spend a single Dollar in the game or the challenge ends not one single Cent four we're doing a subathon so the stream ends if the timer hit zero and continues to raise as people subbed thank you guys again so much for all the support on this stream and five lastly no cheating but that's a given with all that out of the way let's get into this Challenge and start the pain let the hunt for the yellow squares commence I hope you enjoy I start our journey the the way that every challenge starts off say it with me you know what's coming with new light this is Bungie's way of familiarizing the new player with the world of Destiny it's also a place we know very very well in our challenges I decide to call our account this time spending Z dollar because I'm not really creative at all there's a few things that new light's going to allow us to do the biggest thing being traveling through the solar system until I go through each of the missions I can't travel anywhere which ends up being a huge nuisance lucky for us though Bungie did add something to the new light experience in season of the deep that actually kickstarted off this challenge they introduced us to Maes key which when obtained can be used to open up mave stash this stash has our first exotic of the challenge the tractor Cannon one exotic down and 99 to go pray for my sanity one thing that's really nice about getting tractor cannons so early in the challenge is the ability to be helpful in fire team activities even without having the highest power level or the greatest loadouts we're going to be relying on this weapon a ton after this I continued on with my new light Journey where I eventually made it to the tower for the first time and started my tower tour where you get to meet all of our Tower favorites while there I was able to pick up our next exotic the error code B because apparently CB stands for code B this was not a great sign my exotic count matched my error code count not only that but to add icing to the cake I was met with the famous One Moment screen when I logged back into the game be made up no way no way nothing like a q screen on a Wednesday for reference for anyone who wanted to know when I started this challenge it was Wednesday December 6th at 7:30 p.m. central preferably to avoid error codes in downtime amongst some other reasons that we'll discuss later I had no idea what would be coming soon enough when I get back into the game I quickly try to make up for lost time by finishing the rest of the new light campaign by beating theod and then getting to Guardian Rank 2 after talking to zala this granted me the ability to travel through the solar system on our own speaking of Guardian ranks this would prove to be the bane of this challenge but we're going to talk about that in a little bit before we go any further I want highlight something that you better get used to if you're going to be playing this game without spending any money popups telling you to spend your money after we finished newl light we received our first popup of many to come telling us to buy lightful this would become a familiar Trend next I head to aora that has a number of different Quests for us that can grant us Exotics these quests were also added in season of the deep it seems that this season Bungie made an attempt to give new players an easy path to getting some exotic armor early on in their Journeys this works out perfect for our challenge but it also brings up some interesting questions while iora gives exotic armor quests we're actually going to wait to talk about these for a bit we're first going to talk about the Monte Carlo Quest that she gives and this brings us to our first question that we were talking about from earlier with Monte Carlo being a shadowkeep random drop exotic can we actually obtain this from the quest and even better yet are we going to be able to use it for a distinction random drop forsaken weapons can't drop for a free-to-play player like curus plus one well we would see soon enough I went ahead and picked up the quest and then I left the tower before finding out the answer to our question we had one easy exotic for the taking that didn't require any questions being answered an exotic that could be obtained through the spark of hope Quest added years ago after finishing new light this Quest could be kicked off by going to devam after a few short steps and getting to do some exploring in the sewer systems of the edz I ended up in a room with the ace of spades card with kad's chicken on it and an exotic Ingram that had the zoo super yeah I mean the riskrunner of course two Exotics off the list next up I got to work on the Monte Carlo Quest hoping to mitigate some of our confusion this Quest requires you to go back down memory lane only not really Memory Lane since I'm totally a new Guardian that's never played the game so this is all new to me and I have no idea who this Kate fellow is but as soon as I start to grow slightly fond of him alren ends him how's your sister okay after this the quest sends me to Europa where I get to use stasis at the end of the mission which I'm sure is really cool for new players and an attempt to get people to buy beond light for stasis lastly my final step has me go to the throne world where I get to kill a hive guardian and Destroy its ghost once this is all complete I head back to the tower where I'm awarded my third exotic of the challenge the Monte Carlo as I had suspected not only could we obtain it for free but we also could use it as well so you're telling me that I have a chance to win up to 30,000 ,000 giving away $1,000 every day for 30 days every day by just downloading this app and there's more all you're going to do is make purchases that you're already making in your day-to-day life like at this fine establishment or restaurants or groceries and you are going to make money back to download the app is free all you need to do is download it sign up and you can redeem your offer always within 10 minutes every time this countdown hits zero we are going to be giving one of you guys $1,000 but you need to make sure that after you download the app that you also sign up and redeem an offer to give yourself a chance at $1,000 every single day for 30 days for a total of $30,000 given out to you guys upside is super easy to use all that I do when I need to buy gas is open the app and then it shows me where I can get the most cash back then I claim an offer and then I pump gas like it's normal you'll save up the 25 cents per gallon on your first tank of gas which is absolutely insane it's your money and I want to give it back to you thank you again to upside for saving us money and sponsoring this video and now let's get back into the video where we're also saving money once we finished it something important happened that's going to be something I planned on heavily relying on during this challenge a Vex incursion for those of you who might not be familiar with the Vex incursion let me explain a Vex incursion is something bunge added in lightfall that was designed to help new players and returning players alike obtain Exotics they don't have the way it works is the public event spawns on neam Muna throughout the day and normally it just grants normal rewards however randomly throughout the day these events can sometimes Grant an exotic the event requires you to kill six giant Vex minars and if you do it grants you with one armor exotic that you don't have the key part is don't have this event is bad luck protected which was crucial when I was collecting all of the Exotics and I knew it would be important for this challenge as well there would be more we would learn about Vex incursions that would turn this challenge upside down but for now at this stage of the challenge this is the information that we knew to be true also there's a Discord that I can link below if you're not sure how to know inex incursion spawn with that being said I quickly headed over to neam Muna despite the misconception that this would be a non-f freet to-play event because of its association with lightfall and Ne amuna this event is actually freeo playay since you can access Nuno without paying money the only kicker for me is that this event is brutal for an underleveled Guardian and I was getting absolutely obliterated by everything regardless I tractor what I can and eventually the event ends and I'm given my fourth exotic of the challenge the ACD feedback fences now that we've covered Vex incursions it's time to talk about one of my favorite things that Bungie has implemented in recent years you already know what I'm thinking in your heads good old Guardian ranks and when I say favorite I mean something that haunts me in these challenges you learn very quickly when doing these style of challenges that Guardian ranks are very restrictive you you don't get access to triumphs until Guardian rank three you want to use armor and weapon mods well you can until Guardian rank five have a subclass fragment you've been interested in come back at Guardian rank four you want to buy golf balls or other materials from rul sorry get good and come back at Guardian ranked six when rushing during these challenges and creating multiple accounts this can become frustrating really fast I even learned something new at the beginning of this challenge that it never really happened to me before believe it or not this would not be the last time guardan ranks would strike during this challenge but we'll come back to talk about more of this later I brought up Guardian ranks right now because the next thing on our to-do list is getting the guardian rank three this doesn't require too much outside of a few chores on neomuna the edz and nessus where we essentially meet each planet's vendor we also have to do the first lightfall campaign mission as well the purpose of getting the guardian rank three was to grant me access to the triumphs page this would allow me to later do RNG boosting triumphs when attempting to do the raid Exotics but more importantly to right now it would allow us to to get our first exotic Cipher in the new light section luckily this time I learned my lesson and knew exactly what to do and where to go in order to grab this exotic Cipher unlike the all exotic challenge next on our list was to go play dares of Eternity this may seem random but dares of Eternity plays a huge role in our challenges mainly because the heroic version started being able to drop golf balls upon lightf Falls launch this was something we learned during the collecting all exotic challenge because I was desperate to figure out a reliable way to get golf balls as a new player without without relying on Guardian ranks since I didn't have time to get Guardian rank six on multiple accounts to buy golf balls from rul I know what you're thinking though you're barely over 1600 how in the world are you going to do legendary dares when it's 1830 well lucky for us Bungie made one additional change to Legendary dares in lightfall that would completely solve this issue they made legendary dares operate on a Delta system this means that if your power level was too low it would boost your power up to the lowest possible threshold where you can still do damage this is how I was able to damage and kill enemies despite not being anywhere near 1830 with this explanation out of the way I did a normal dares of Eternity to be able to unlock Legendary dares I also went ahead and picked up the 4Runner Quest while I was at it as well I jump into legendary dares and I hope to RNG that we get a golf ball on our first time it was not a guaranteed drop and in true me fashion I didn't get one on our first try get some good luck why every other people got a send the shards I knew I wouldn't get one I just knew it I had a feeling lucky for us after a lightning round on our second try we were able to get a golf ball for our additional efforts thank you good good despite most of the kiosk Exotics costing one golf ball I decided to go for an additional Ascendant Shard from legendary dares I got punished for getting greedy and I didn't get a golf ball on my third try for Rise of iron the glows were so good I didn't get a golf ball G so got to go again on my fourth run we get a lightning round then just like last time I was able to get my second Ascendant Shard freeing my Souls from dares for now at least give me a golf please it was a lightning round let's go I head back to the Tower and now everything just start making more sense I go and purchase the outbreak perfected which cost two golf balls bringing us up to five Exotics in the challenge you might have just noticed something when I bought the outbreak perfected especially if you're watching this in season of The Wish before final shape unlike last season outbreak perfected doesn't cost legendary shards your eyes didn't deceive you this is the case Bungie as of this season started the process of phasing out legendary shards out of the game because of this a lot of things that traditionally cost legendary shards stopped requiring legendary shards and became more glimmer focused this was a huge lucky break for us as normally our challenges are extremely painful because we need a ton of legendary shards now this wouldn't be the case for our exotic Cipher part of this challenge as an added bonus Raul allowed us to exchange any excess legendary shards and other materials that we did for glimmer and we didn't need to be a certain Guardian ranked to make this exchange with this lucky break let's now talk about some unlucky breaks I was hoping to pick up a few easy exotic weapons through the Exotic Quest kiosk like the sweet business and the arbalist I remembered picking up these quests when collecting all of the Exotics unfortunately to my surprise the sweet business Quest required witch queen and the arbous quest required lightful I think these would have been great introductory quests to give free-to-play players but I digress Also if anyone was curious if a free-to-play player could get the chaperon per the kios quest despite not having forsaken you unfortunately can't because the blast from the past chaperon Quest weirdly enough requires Beyond light not sure what Bungie was thinking with these the Tex mechanica tournament Quest was a wash as well as it also requires forsaken moving on it was time to go back to the exotic armor iora Quest we were talking about earlier with the three exotic armor quests I can unlock the Doom Marchers synth the subs which are Beast for a free-to-play player and lastly the heart of Vin most light and you may be wondering why I set that confused well heart of inmost light better known as hoil is a forsaken exotic armor piece this posed our question from earlier first can free-to-play players equip forsaken armor Exotics and the bigger question can you obtain forsaken armor that is not given to you by aora each Quest required a decent amount of farming on a particular subass you needed each subass unlocked before you could pick each of the three quests up with that being said I started off with syth theps with them being so strong for a new player I had to get a decent amount of solar ability kills which I got across the EDC in public events in Lost sectors once I was done I returned back to iora to claim my prize the synthe UPS six Exotics off the list let's go before moving on to the next exotic armor piece I cleared up a little bit of confusion on the question I kept getting asked can a free-to-play player do the Exotic Rotator missions this should answer your question if you're curious you cannot do the rotators next it was time to set my sights on the heart of inmost light I started getting to work on aorus Quest and as I did a Vex incursion spun we fly to neomuna as fast as I can and we beat the event after I actually decided to let the Exotic go to my postmaster I did this to make sure that we didn't get the iora armor Exotics from the Vex incursion before we earned them from iora to take them out of the loot pool after this I got back to work on hoil getting void weaken kills and ability kills proved to be a pretty timec consuming task because of this I decided I needed to establish a better place to farm these kills with a rally flag public events across the edz were okay but not really doing the trick I didn't have shoch Chi because I didn't have the Forsaken pack and I didn't have the beginning of graspa avarest because I didn't own the 30th Anniversary we were kind of in a bind I tried to be creative and I decided to farm in an unlikely place the prophecy dungeon it was free the first encounter boss spawned a ton of throw and it had a rally flag so I thought it was worth a try funny enough this is the only free dungeon and in case you didn't know it doesn't have an exotic tie to it this is the only dungeon in the game that doesn't have one I asked this when we did the dungeon exotic Challenge and I'll ask again what existing exotic or new exotic would you attach to the prophecy dungeon if you could at least let me know in the comments below once we finished farming I headed back to the tower to hopefully answer one of the biggest questions of the challenge can we unlock knock a forsaken armor exotic through iora I made it to her and she Awards us with the heart of inmost light free of charge that we are able to not only get but also equipped as well bungee number seven Exotics down I thought this would late to rest everybody's questions but it really just made for a bigger debate could we obtain forsaken armor Exotics through means that aren't iora everybody was once again split so I decided to open the Vex and cursion exotic I had saved there was a risk of this being Doom Marchers which would have really sucked since I could just get this from my Cor in a few short moments but I decided that the chances of this were pretty slim I told everyone that if the next 5 to 10 Vex incursion and also World drop exotic ingrams weren't a forsaken exotic that we could go ahead and rule this out as being possible with that being said I rolled the dice on the Exotic Ingram and lucky for me I get the Aon safes a non-for saken exotic by the way and not Doom Marchers thank God eight Exotics already obtained not bad after this was time to head back into freeo playay shiroi aka the prophecy dungeon checkpoint I got back to work jolting as many enemies as I could as the Doom marcher Quest required a decent amount of different Arc ability kills I finally get it done and then complete the Lost sector it required me to complete in the cosmo drone after I finished this I headed back to iora to pick up the final iora armor exotic the Doom Marchers nine Exotics down and another nice one for the late game of this challenge next I wanted to put something to the test that we learned during the collecting all 222 exotic challenge this is going to be a familiar Trend too putting the knowledge we learned from that challenge into this this challenge as you all probably know legendary lost sectors when done solo can drop armor Exotics you don't have this exotic will be whatever armor type it is for the given day also Legend LW sectors are 1830 so they're nothing I jump into right now by myself this early in the challenge so far this is all common knowledge and I'm sure you're following me but what if I was to tell you that you can get Exotics to drop in legendary lost sectors with the fire team this is something I learned during the last Challenge in a fire team you can get Exotics to drop in Lost sectors the kicker is they aren't bad luck protected and they can drop as any of the armor types not just the daily Rotator I wanted to reput this to the test during this Challenge and what do you know and on only our second attempt this happened told you I literally told you guys it's a cheat code your eyes didn't deceive you the worm Gods dropped with the fire team bringing us up the 10 Exotics we were now in double digits and only a little more than 8 hours into the challenge it was nice to know that this wasn't a glitch and was actually a real reliable thing I would definitely come back to this later for multiple reasons next it was time to go back to good old dares of Eternity not for golf balls this time but for an exotic that's tied to dares of Eternity that you might have forgotten about the Forerunner this exotic Quest doesn't require the 30th Anniversary like Galah horn does I got to work on the quest which required collecting strange coins followed by knocking out some of the starhorse bounties while I was grinding dares funny enough this dropped trctor can can just drop from random enemies and dares strange I didn't know this Catalyst could drop end dares from random enemies but you learn something new every day after this I finished the bounties I needed and then picked up the strange key from Zur once I had this all I needed to do was go to The Eternity space area that had the chest we were looking for and it had the parts for the weapon once completed we went to Banshee and he gave us our prize the 4Runner 11 Exotics down another thing that happened while I was getting the 4Runner was something I told you we would get really familiar with popups this time it was telling us to spend money on the 30th Anniversary shifting gears from dares of Eternity it was time to do something fun just kidding it was time for more new light now that we had our three Titan Exotics from myora as well as Monte Carlo it was time to create my hunter we still had six more Exotics for the taking for myora that we could get just from completing her quests I go through the First new light mission on my Hunter and then expect to be able to head to the Tower and pick up the quest from aora this is because once you complete the full new light campaign on one character it only requires doing the first mission on your other characters to fly throughout the solar system unfortunately I had a slight miscalculation and didn't realize that the iora quests are locked behind completing the new light campaign this meant I had to do the full new light campaign two more times fully on my first account with all the new light I already had coming in my future to get all the kiosk Exotics this hurt dearly I get to work and funny enough a Vex incursion spawns once again I hurry back over to my Titan and get to neomuna as fast as I can when I complete the event I'm awarded with the Eternal Warrior 12 Exotics down not bad after this I head back over to my hunter to continue new light funny enough if the pain of doing new light two more times when I thought I wouldn't have to wasn't enough the new light Gods thought it would be funny to laugh at me a little bit more they brought back the invisible glitch from the beginning of lightfall so that I wouldn't be able to see any of my weapons but then before I could even finish the campaign the new like Gods showed some mercy on me a third Vex incursion spawned and I quickly headed back to NE amuna on my Titan to complete the event this time I got the capric horn unlucky number 13 Exotics down this will make a little bit more sense soon I get back to my Hunter and I finish new light despite not being able to see my weapons before I get to the point of being able to pick up iora 3 exotic armor Quest I'm stopped by an unfortunate miscalculation that I made all flying maintenance that's right on a random Thursday Bungie decided to take the game offline this was in the previous week's twab or twid to be fair but I never saw it it was going to be offline for 2 hours it may not have felt like it because I was so locked in but more than 12 hours had already passed I wasn't sure what to do with the next 2 hours so I decided to just take a quick 2-hour nap since there was nothing else I could do when the downtime finally ended I got back on my Hunter and unlocked every Super to be able to grab my three iora armor quest to get back on track the three Exotics I'd be able to unlock would be the young Cara spine the graviton forfeit and The Forsaken exotic the 6 coyote after this it was back to free to play shiroi AKA The failinks Echo I decided to knock out all three quests at once this time instead of doing them one at a time admittedly this took quite a bit of time to get all of the ability kills for each subass but slowly but surely we got it done then we just had to do all three corresponding lost sectors as well one on the edz one on nessus and one on the cosmod drum after finishing all three lost sectors all that was left was going to iora to collect the three Exotics she had waiting for me the first being the graviton forfeit the second being The Forsaken armor exotic the six coyote and the final exotic being the young ahamkara's spine with that we now at 16 Exotics and we are approaching the big 20 in under 24 hours you can probably guess what's next so I won't bore you with it too much I once again did New Life to my despair to get my warlock through the campaign and got him to the point where he could pick up the three iora armor exotic quests this time we could earn the crown of Tempest the Starfire protocol and The Forsaken exotic the controverse hold you can guess exactly what I did next we farmed the failing echo which admittedly took forever followed by the three lost sectors for each respective quest after this all I had to do was go to iora to claim my three prizes just like that we had the controverse hold the crown of tempus and the Starfire protocol bringing us up to 19 Exotics next it was time to do something I was neglecting getting my power level up was going to be important for doing highle activities eventually like croa Zend and Legend lost sectors it was time to get my season of The Wish artifact from Good Old marov herself I took the time to do the opening mission where I got to visit the wish wall without having forsaken or without spending any money I made a wish that the challenge would end quickly I would learn later that Riven didn't take very kindly to this wish after it was completed I visited Mara who gave me the artifact I did also get one more thing and you can probably guess what it is a pop-up to purchase season of The Wish of course bringing us up to our third popup of the challenge it was almost the end of day one so I decided that now that we had the artifact that we would Farm some legendary lost sectors with the fire team again like I mentioned this wasn't bad luck protected so this wouldn't be useful later in the challenge but I figured it couldn't hurt early on plus it was absolutely fantastic for prisms and cores after just one failed run to my surprise this happened even though it's not going to happen Ashton wake drop bringing us up to the big number 20 Exotics in less than 24 hours of the challenge after this good luck I thought for sure it would take a while to see another exotic as this definitely was not a get-rich quick method for getting Exotics it would usually take me a decent amount of runs to see even one with that being said this is what happened on the next run no way no no mask of The Quiet One dropped bringing us up to 21 Exotics I hoped we could make this three in a row but unfortunately nothing dropped on our next lost sector however we ran it back and this is what happened after actium War riged the Titan chest piece dropped bringing us up the 22 Exotics after this stroke of good luck it was time to ship gears for a little as we were coming up on our first 24 hours of the challenge I decided it was time to do all of our weekly seasonal challenges to get our artifact bonus as high as we possibly could while we were grinding we had the invisibility glitch strike again only this time for our weapons we get back to work and keep the grind going until we're stopped again to my despair this time it was because we hit our subg goal and don't get me wrong normally this would be a good thing but when the incentive is eating a massive spoonful of peanut butter this is the worst thing possible for me don't if I can do this y'all I'm going keep it real CH I open wide and put the Spoonful in my mouth almost disintegrating in the process after brushing my teeth multiple times I get back to work it was the evening of the game award so I decided to grind the challenges while we watch the awards the Challen weren't too hard just kind of long like the stunning Champions challenge where I went back to visit barrier the barrier or the painfully long dreaming city challenge that I did in the Lost sectors we were officially on to day two we hit 22 Exotics in just one day time when we had lost two hours to maintenance so I was feeling really good as we were just barely shy of averaging one exotic per hour at this rate I was definitely feeling like we could finish this in a week to start day two I decided we would return to Legend lost sectors with the fire team for some more semi easy Exotics I thought this would be ideal since we were still missing so many and didn't have a high chance of duplicates after eight failed tries I was starting to think it might be hopeless but then the affidia Spade dropped bringing us up to 23 Exotics honestly I wasn't tripping over not seeing a ton of Exotics here as there was another reason that I was in here Legend lost sectors were great for getting my character up to the soft cap of 1750 even when I wasn't getting Exotics each Ingram dropping from enemies or the chests were getting me up to 1750 once I was 1750 Plus on my Titan and Hunter it was time to move on to some activities to make me slowly more powerful as we needed to get to 1800 as fast as possible it's important to note that the process of getting my power level higher did take a lot longer than it normally would have and that's because I didn't have access to the best power leveler in Destiny the heroic campaign normally if you want to get to 1750 or even higher starting off with the legendary campaign for lightfall is the best way as it'll automatically take you to 1750 however unlucky for me I wasn't spending any money so this wasn't an option by the time my Titan and Hunter were past the soft cap of 1750 we are crossing the 32-hour mark of the challenge after this I decided to do some of my powerful and Pinnacles only the lower tier ones though I started with the nine ritual activities Bungie made it where the three ritual activities you do being Gambit Crucible and Strikes would Grant you an exotic Pinnacle Ingram admittedly this was a gamble doing these as I really needed these exotic ingrams to be weapons As Weapons would be extremely harder to get later in the challenge however I decided reluctantly that getting my power level higher would make it worth it and I could always make up for it later with that being said I decided to compromise and only earn two of the three exotic ingrams from the rituals and save one for later I do strikes to knock out the six required activities also while we're on the topic Bungie please take Battlegrounds out of the strike playlist please I return back to Raul with the two ingrams and open them both up remember I really need these to be weapons the first Ingram drops and I get the heart light a great drop could I make it two in a row let's see thunder Lord dropped which would be a beast of a weapon for this challenge this was a really lucky break as we still had a ton of armor in our loot pool just like that we were up to 25 Exotics we were also up to 1765 power which was not bad and we still had quite a bit of powerful and Pentacles to do I decided we take another little break as we are now past the 36-h hour mark Zur was going to be here in just a little over 2 hours so I decided another mini nap would be nice when I came back we would do more powerleveling and our good friend Zur would be waiting for us I wake up 2 hours later and it's time to get back to it I ran to Zur like a kid running downstairs to go see what Santa Claus brought for Christmas I was happy to see that the majority of what Zur was selling I didn't have this was the first Zur of season of the wish so there was something I assumed that I was completely wrong about like I told you all legendary shards were being phased out this season to prepare for final shape where they'll no longer exist I showed y'all already that the kios Exotics no longer require them and that Raul is exchanging them for glimmer with this knowledge I make the assumption that Zur would also not be asking for legendary shards I I was unfortunately dead wrong on this I still had a few shards from all the Lost sector farming but not nearly as much as I would need to pick everything up I start off buying the Jade Rabbit bringing us up to 26 Exotics before I can make another purchase to my surprise a Vex incursion spawns and I frantically prepare to head over that way I make sure to purchase the insurmountable skullfort first to make sure we don't get it from the looming Vex incursion 27 Exotics down we make it to neam Muna and we down all six minitar that I can claim my prize and when I do this happens I got Capri horn the 13th unlucky zodic we talked about earlier what did just happened Vex incursion are supposed to give you an exotic that you don't have the bad luck protection is what makes this event so crucial to what we're doing surely this just had to be a fluke this was extremely demoralizing but I figured it just had to be a one-off I head back to Zur after a little a little bit of legendary Shard farming to pick up my faded Ingram I open it up hoping that it's an exotic weapon as once again like I mentioned these are extremely hard to get versus Armor after the Vex incursion bat luck The Faded Ingram spared our soul giving us the colony bringing us to 28 Exotics after we picked up the colony funny enough another Vex incursion spawn a chance at Redemption surely this duplicate nonsense would just be a one-off thing that we would never see again I say a prayer and then this was our fate here we go Helma Saint 14 we get the Helma Saint 14 bringing us up to 29 Exotics thank the Lord I guess it was just a fluke after this it was back to the legend lost sector with the fire team prison as we would start to call it at this point the main driver wasn't even Exotics this would be an added bonus but it was mainly just to get plus zero drops what are those you might ask well they're drops that drop at my power level if all my gear is at 1770 or higher except for a mark That's at 1761 I shouldn't be wasting my powerful and Pinnacle drops hoping to get a Mark instead I should grind activities until I get a plus zero Mark which would be at 1770 to fill in that Gap then when I do more powerful the drop will be higher since that Mark isn't bogging us down anymore I get to work and everything's going pretty well as we're slowly but surely getting the plus zero drops we need the ultimate goal of getting our power up to 1800 was so that I could eventually do these lost sector solo so I could obtain all the Exotics remaining very quickly to achieve this I couldn't waste even one power Flor Pinnacle drop this is why I wasn't too focused on getting a Exotics at this point however after 17 runs of not seeing a single exotic drop this happened there it is we got Exotics but guess what I have those Exotics yeah we got a duplicate synth theps extremely unfortunate but what could we do we press on and keep the grind going after seven more fails to my surprise this was our next run okay there we go we got double exotic drops orange got one too Doom things doomfang pauldrons dropped bringing us up to the big 30 Exotics in just shy of 43 hours we weren't collecting Exotics as fast in day two but this was solely due to my emphasis on slowly but surely bringing our power level up my goal was to be 1,800 by the end of day five we keep grinding and I have a realization that maybe should have been obvious but for some reason it wasn't to me oh wait these boosters were part of the season pass I thought I'd still get the booster I guess it technically is on the bottom what boosters you have to pay for another unlucky break is we really could use the extra experience while leveling after this we take a break from legendary lost sector prison to start doing all of our weekly bounties across the solar system we have access to the cosmo drone weekly bounties as well as the dreaming City Weekly bounties as well you don't have to have the DLC to do the Bounties in the dreaming City unlike the way you need to for some other destinations like the moon in Europa I get to work on the dreaming City bounties which require an ascendant challenge as well as multiple blind Wells we also realized during this that you can't see the cats if you're free to play what am I what am I looking at guys what is this what am I looking at guys I I haven't paid you think I get you think I get access to goodies you think freeo play players get access to cats once I'm done with these I decide it's time to do everyone's favorite activity it's time for Gambit I still have that final exotic Ingram I was saving as well as the powerful for completing the bounties after I finished I'm awarded with my final exotic for the week on my Titan I decid to open it once again knowing it's a risk that I could get an armor piece instead of a weapon lucky for me our luck continues as I get the graviton Lance bringing us up to 31 Exotics the next thing that happened was a funny sequence I was in Crucible trying to get some of my bounties done for the powerful you can get from Shacks while I was in game my mechanic called so I had the stream on mute and I was on the phone while that took place this simultaneously happened the first world drop of the challenge was none other than the work Cliff coil bringing us up to 32 Exotics this was awesome luck and an exotic weapon dropping will always be an added bonus let's go that was really really important guys that was really really important I don't know if you guys just saw that I was the phone with my mechanic but um we just got another weapon we concluded day two back in legendary lost sector prison in a fire team filling in more gaps slowly but surely getting our power level up I thought that day three would be more of the same slow and tedious power grinding however little did I know the next chapter of this video will be called hello my old friend I start the day with more legendary lost sectors with the fire team as I mentioned before Exotics weren't dropping but we were getting some good plus zero drops during one of the runs a Vex incursion spawned I hurried to neomuna super excited to finally get another exotic as the power grind was really slowing down how many Exotics I was getting I quickly finished the event but to my confusion this happened Dune Marchers okay Dune Marchers good old Dune Marchers the Dune Marchers the ones I have already somehow in some way another duplicate dropped in a bad luck protected activity I don't get it I got the Doom Marchers the Exotic iur had already given us what was happening something happens once maybe it's a bug or glitch but twice this was starting to really get weird when I collected all 222 obtainable Exotics I did over 50 Vex incursions and didn't see any duplicates really I was not only confused but I was feeling super defeated I tried not to let it slow me down too much I head back into the legend lost sector with the fire team and slowly but surely get my power level up with plus zero drops I hadn't seen an exotic in a while so I was hoping maybe I'd get lucky soon while farming and get maybe a new exotic to make up for the duplicate well after 24 lost sectors without an ex extic drop here's what happened on the next one I got a duplicate of the Eternal Warrior this was painful solely because I still had a decent amount of exotic armor in my loophole so despite this not being a bat luck protected activity my chances were still pretty high of me not getting a duplicate I figured if I just kept farming and didn't get discouraged then the next time an exotic dropped it would be a new one well after one more failed lost sector RNG had a chance to redeem itself for us and here's what happened huh no no way no way I'm I'm I'm no no no no no no no no not only did we get a duplicate exotic when the majority of our Exotics we still don't have but we got the exact same exotic we just got that's statistically just not supposed to happen the Eternal Warrior was now eternally laughing at me I kept up the grind as best I could like I said the main goal was getting my power level up so really Exotics were secondary here it was just extremely painful seeing all these duplicates that was now three in a row to start the day I couldn't wait to be a higher power level so that I could do these legendary lost sectors alone and get some bad luck protection we do another run and I'm losing my mind really really fast and with my sanity on the line here's what happen happens worm Gods dropped another iura exotic that we had obtained earlier four duplicates and there was nothing I could do besides Smile through the pain I shift gears and do some grinding on my hunter as the Titan bad luck right now is just simply unbearable by this time our characters are over the 1770 Mark which is good we just need to keep our foot on the guess after a few runs of Vex incursion spawns and I in stantly think back to the pain of the last Vex incursion I have a lot fewer armor Exotics on my hunter so the chances of a duplicate if it really wasn't a bug was going to be slim the none but still I was extremely worried after I finished the event here was my fate we go fa tracers that's new let's go we got the faux tracers finally a new exotic bringing us up the 33 Exotics off the list and officially a third of the way done with the challenge in under three full days days we continue grinding to get my hunter's power up and to our Good Fortune another Vex incursion spawns I decided that if this Vex incursion was a non- duplicate then I would just declare of the earlier nonsense a glitch as some kind of anomaly maybe I quickly went to finish the incursion and here's what happened good good good good good good Aon Swift's dropped bringing us up the 34 Exotics this put my mind at ease at least for now and I decided to just put the earlier Vex incursion weirdness behind me our luck continued to turn around as while I was grinding the legend lost sectors with the fire team my hunter was able to pick up another two Exotics along the way I got shinobu's vow and the stompies bringing us up to 36 Exotics while continuing to grind another three Vex incursions spawned throughout the day while I was grinding my hunter's power level I was able during this time to pick up the Raiden flux the extremely strong Celestial nigh Haw in the Gemini gers bringing us up to 39 Exotics the next exotic on our list was one that was an extremely slow grind as we were getting our power level up by doing weekly bounties seasonal challenges and normal bounties if you didn't know the current season pass weapon is actually free if you can make it to the season rank 35 on the pass I had my eyes set on dragon's breath for quite a while and it was finally right there for the taking we got the last bit of XP that we needed and then the dragon's breath was mine a fitting 40th exotic this exotic would also be a beast for the late game of this challenge when we started doing solo Legend lost sectors after this I felt like it was finally time for a decently longer nap we've been going over 60 hours so far with an only 2hour nap under our belt we had streamed all the way through the night for the third time and the sun was already back up as you can see here when the RNG God started shining a beam of good luck into our room I don't think I've ever seen that in any of my streams we have to be getting an exotic or something now right after a 6-hour sleep it was time to get back to it hello hello hello oh my gosh it was almost the end of day three by this time but I wanted to see if we could snag one more quick exotic to finish the day I had a few exotic ingrams from the ritual activities I was grinding when power leveling I had decided to open up one since we had been getting such good exotic weapon luck unfortunately this ended when we were given the dragon Shadow bringing us up to 41 Exotics after this it was time to raid just kidding it was time for more no no just kidding it was actually time to raid for real this time more specifically croa Zend the newest or newest raid brought back into Destiny 2 we weren't yet 1800 but we had broken the 1780 Mark which at least meant that this was doable as you all knew it was about time we snagged one of the more difficult Exotics on our list the necrochasm this was going to be a serious grind as we were going to need to complete the croen raid to get the quest and then do it as many times as necessary in order to get the 20 Essences to be able to actually earn the weapon I get to work and I'm pleased that I'm not getting one shot at in the raid despite this it didn't quite feel great I made sure that every run we were doing was a full run to give ourselves a chance at jackpotting what is jackpotting you might ask well Bungie added a feature where if you do a full run you get a chance at getting all of the Essences for the necrochasm and the Catalyst in just one run it looks like this I got it I got it it's also important to note that doing full clears will be a great way to spoil Farm which is crucial for this challenge because we needed to get the Legend of acreas from the kiosk let me quickly explain how spoils work for those who may be confused is there's a major reason I did this challenge during the season as it would have been impossible to do earlier in the year and that's because you can only spoil Farm the most recent raid that's right that means when rud of nightmares was the recent raid I wouldn't have been able to spoil Farm it because it's not free because of this I needed to wait until cren came out so the most recent raid would be a free raid that I could actually Farm once you've complete at croo once for the week on a character every encounter will give you spoils endlessly after that you can also get spoils from Secret Chests and other raids but this is the only raid you can endlessly Farm them once final shape comes this is going to change to the witness raid so I knew I needed to do this challenge before final shape dropped with that explanation out of the way we get started and do our first full raid clear we start things off strong getting an Essence on the lamps and counter to kick us off unfortunately we're not met with a jackpot but we are given another two Essence one for our first clear of the week and another for it being a full run so we're already up to three Essences in just one run it sucked we weren't able to Jackpot but luckily we were able to at least pick up the necrochasm quest that concluded day three with 41 Exotics so far averaging just about 13 Exotics per day so far on a free account honestly isn't awful especially when we were so laser focused on the power grind I knew it could have been higher if we didn't deal with the duplicate nonsense but nonetheless we were getting pretty close to 1780 on my hunter so I was pretty happy about that we start off day four grinding more lost sectors for plus zero drops I learned something new about Guardian ranks that blew my mind while I was grinding no no no no way man it's to help people there's no way it's to help people how is how are you going to help a new player if they can't be a new player I couldn't believe this it just feels weird weird to block so many things if you stray from Guardian ranks anyways after I was satisfied with my grind we headed back into croa for more farming I wanted to keep grinding for necrochasm and spoils over time without going too hard all at once we did another full run and here's how it finished GG's and jackpot one unfortunately no jackpot to make it worse that was my only essence of the run so I was only at four essences as a consolation the drops were at least good for my power level after this I took the time to complete my husk of the pit step for necrochasm that requires a ton of Hive kills that for some reason don't work inside of the actual raid it's made for I decide to go to alters and knock it out as quickly as I can once completed it was back into the raid for attempt number three we get to croa again and it was time to see if three was a magic number like they say in Schoolhouse Rock here's how the attempt went trolling I I really lost them I don't know where they are right now but the good thing is I lost them in the house during the sub th how do I only get one another swing and another Miss but one cool thing was that we are already up to 50 of the 240 spoils casually just running the raid 20% done already we were also now up to six Essences of the 20 we needed to be done with necrochasm we ran it back again for run number four to see if this could be the run that we would jackpot unfortunately Cotto wasn't having it today would number five change his mind please please this game I was convinced at this point the croa hated me I did complete quite a few triumphs though so I was able to claim an additional three Essences from the triumphs page overall in just one grind session this was our progress on spoils and on the necrochasm Essences 90s spoils is where we ended up and in terms of the quest ended up at um 12 that's not bad after all the croa fails it was time to do something funny we had hit our next sub goal and this time you guys wanted me to order a pizza with everything and anything on it from dominoes you all ended up deciding on a large extra cheese pizza with garlic Parmesan sauce pepperoni Italian sausage bacon ham salami jalapeno peppers banana peppers shredded parmesan pineapples black olives and an chovies which luckily they didn't end up having but um yeah I like it honestly it ended up being pretty good after this a Vex incursion spawned as a way of RNG telling me that it wanted a slice we ended up getting the lucky raspberry to hopefully bring us some good luck bringing us up to 42 Exotics after this it was back to Legend lost sectors with the fire team to farm more plus zero drops before another Vex incursion spawned it it seemed like the luck of the lucky raspberry was real until it wasn't graviton forfeit oh my gosh I don't understand these have been the most painful Vex incursions in the history of my exotic challenges and I don't know what I did to deserve this guys that settlement Vex incursions could drop duplicates but why like I said I never received any duplicates when I did my collecting every single exotic challenge what it changed the only thing that I was doing differently this challenge was not spending money that couldn't be a factor could it for now I moved on feeling extremely defeated luckily for us we were at least getting extremely good drops from farming these Legend lost sectors with a fire team endlessly we had now officially cross the 1780 Mark which meant it was officially time for phase three of my leveling plan what was my leveling plan phase one was getting new light done as quickly as possible and doing any and every activity to get to the soft cap of 1750 Phase 2 was to a combination of my lower tier powerful and Pinnacles mixed with filling in the gaps by men maxing in the legendary lost sectors with the fire team to get around 1780 and then finally phase three was to take advantage of something that only comes around the few times a season something that I knew would help push us over the edge to 1800 getting to 1800 in a few days I knew it take careful planning on a free account so I made sure that I did this challenge during the week of iron Banner iron Banner is a week-long crucible event held by Lord saladan and if we play it we can get some extremely High Pinnacles to drop also we could Target men Max and iron Banner as well by being able to focus old armor sets I tried to load into iron Banner but how do I put this well just watch as crazy as that is like if a if if I'm I'm a I'm not the the craziest veteran player but I know the game I'm sure you guys would admit that if if I don't even know what to do to spawn this thing what are what are new players doing I had no idea how to activate the node for iron Banner being a new player is so confusing in this game as a veteran player sometimes I feel like I know this game and then I realize that I don't I just don't after some research we found out that I needed to complete Shack's quest in order to fly into iron banner on my own with this knowledge I get to work and as soon as I do the Monte Carlo Catalyst drops honestly a pretty fun Catalyst after a few more gains another Vex incursion spawns I try to contain myself as I know that Vex incursions have been nothing but cruel to me so far despite this I try to keep a positive attitude and I head over to neomuna to hopefully claim another exotic for the challenge here's how it went just don't be a duplicate here we go here we go nope at this point I was officially losing my mind I just couldn't fathom what I was doing wrong nothing was adding up I try to rally as I get back to iron Banner it was going pretty well and I had gotten some good drops that had me over 1790 which was awesome now it was back to Legend lost sectors with the fire team to fill in some missing gaps that we needed during one of these runs after the grueling exotic luck that we were having this happened on our next run finally oh my gosh knucklehead radar dropped bringing us up to 43 Exotics when Legend lost sectors with the fire team keep in mind is being more generous than Vex incursions you know there's a problem we keep up the grind and slowly but surely level up my hunter then we run into an interesting Crossroads another Vex incursion spawns normally my thought process in case y'all are curious is to go to the character that has the most Exotics already so that I can finish that character as quickly as possible this is due to the fact that once a character has all of their exotic armor every single Ingram that they open up will be guaranteed to be an exotic weapon however due to all this Vex incursion non I actually decided to do the opposite I make the switch to my warlock who has the fewest Exotics and the most missing so that in theory the chances of us getting a duplicate are slim to none I get to my Warlock and I roll the dice here's what happened three two and one Sun bracers Sun bracers Sun bracers we'll take it our game of chance at worked I I got the sunbracers bringing us to 44 Exotics after this I decided it was time to take a quick break to knock out some more of my Crucible Bounties in The Relic game mode which takes forever to matchmake I wasn't quite ready to get my next exotic Ingram from the ritual activities Pinnacle so I thought Relic would be a safe way to grind and not have the activities count Unfortunately they did count and my exotic Pinnacle did drop which confused me at first I wasn't quite ready to open another exotic Ingram as there is still a really high chance of it being exotic armor but after feeling somewhat behind I cracked into decided to roll the dice with one more exotic Ingram even if it didn't end up being a weapon I figured we could rally later I roll the dice and here's how it went lucky for us not only did we get a weapon but I was really needing an energy weapon for my power grind so this was a double whammy we got the bore Alis bringing us up to 45 Exotics we were getting so close to the big 50 after that we wrapped up the iron Banner grind on my hunter next on my list was jumping over to my Warlock and starting this process again of grinding iron banner before that I decided to first go to Zur since I knew I could pick up a really strong warlock exotic while on my hunter that would drop at my hunter's power this would be a great booster for my warlock I pick up the skull of dire ahamkara now that I have plenty of materials from all of the grinding bringing us up to 46 Exotics next I decided to test our luck once again I snagged our final Hunter Pinnacle exotic Ingram from doing ritual activities I knocked out three quick strikes as I needed a break from Crucible and something funny happened that I was hoping would be a sign of good luck not only did we get our exotic Ingram Pinnacle but we got the outbreak perfected Catalyst outbreak perfected Catalyst I'm done the question was whether or not the outbreak perfected Catalyst would give us the luck we need to get another exotic weapon to drop here yes that's a weapon at least what do you know the Catalyst blessed the run and brought us to Crimson bringing us up to 47 Exotics off the list that completed the grind at least for now on my Hunter he was up to 1791 which was really good it was time to repeat that grind and crack 1800 on my warlock finally once on my warlock I transfer over all of my weapons and I get to men maxing AKA back to the legend lost sector grind with my teammates even though my weapons are really high my armor is still pretty low so I need to rely on blues and purple drops to slowly get me up after I got to 1787 I thought that was a pretty good time for a 2-hour nap I could practically taste the 1800 but I also was pretty much running on fumes once I woke up it was time to get back to it I got right back on the minmax and GR in the same lost sector unfortunately right when I got into a Groove I kept hitting error codes over and over and over again why do we keep getting error codes after battling with the servers I finally felt like I got to a point where I felt comfortable going back into iron banner I should mention that we kind of got spared for anyone playing Iron Banner around this time you're going to remember what I'm talking about you see Bungie decided to introduce a game mode called iron Banner tribute let's just say this wasn't very positively received and because of this it was canceled so lucky for us we didn't have to play through this game mode while grinding with that being said we keep up the grind and after three games I'm given my first ritual exotic Pinnacle Ingram since I had good luck on my hunter I decided to open this one up in hopes of getting another weapon I head to Raul and unfortunately gives me the Verity's brow another new exotic so I can't complain but I was really hoping to carry over the good luck from my hunter oh well it couldn't be helped 48 Exotics down we get back to the 00 grind and keep pushing as hard as we can I had no idea how much we had been grinding until I realized we had unlocked the ritual sword the shival fire which happened to be a great powerful heavy drop for me by the way also I ended up finally getting to Guardian rank five which meant I could finally use armor mods I quickly hurry into my character menu to equip some resilience mods or that was the plan why aren't they aligned so I need to get to an even higher Guardian rank just to be able to upgrade it so then I can actually use the mods that I just unlocked Guardian ranks had struck once again and found a new way to laugh at me trying not to dwell on this too much I decided it was time to grind more raids to get closer to necrochasm and legend of acreas we do a full clear of croa and speed through it as fast as possible in hopes of getting a jackpot this time our warlock was also getting extremely close to 1800 so these would be great drops That Could set them over when we finally got back to croo we took him down as fast as we could and this is how our sixth completion went it just baited me a dragon's breath catalyst I got one so no jackpot but we were up to 1797 on my warlock now which was fantastic we were also up to 14 Essences which felt great after this it was back into croa for bung number seven jackpot attempt unfortunately Bungie hasn't been on our side for this challenge so as expected we didn't get a jackpot this run we also did an all warlock run so we were able to get an extra Essence from the Triumph after this I took a break from croa but this was our progress after all of the runs we had did so far orlock so that has me at 120 spoils which is half I need 240 for acus 18 I'm like one more away I'll knock it out tomorrow I was pretty pleased with this and that's how our day four ended we had capped out at just shy of 50 Exotics at 48 as we continued to climb through our power grind I could taste 1800 and I knew that day five would be my day I continue pushing through iron Banner getting some really good Pinnacles and doing some really nice men maxing using the old gear I could get from the iron banner ingrams I won't bore you too much with day five because most of it was really just spent grinding iron Banner match after iron Banner match after iron Banner match after iron Banner match after oh my gosh after I finished iron banner and lost most of my sanity we were getting extremely close I decided that we would knock out our powerful we could get from completing eight bounties for zala it was one of the final things I was really needing to set me over the edge but when I loaded up Vanguard Ops this happened I kept running into a glitch that was trying everything in it's power to convince me that I needed witch Queen to do Vanguard Ops when I obviously don't this is a good time to talk about all the things that I couldn't do during the challenge due to not having money I couldn't do the Nightfall Pinnacle as it was birthplace of the vial which required witch Queen's DLC the Pinnacle rate was deep Stone so that was out of the question because I didn't have Beyond light the rotating dungeon was fire of The Watcher which I didn't have the dungeon key for also the most recent dungeon Pinnacle was out of the question too since it was warlord's ruin I couldn't do Grand Masters as they weren't out yet funny enough but even if they were it also would have required witch Queen this week I couldn't do Trials of Osiris without the current DLC being lightful I couldn't do the Exotic Rotator Mission as each exotic is tied to its respective DLC and I couldn't do the seasonal activity powerful because I don't have the season pass and that goes for the starcross Exotic mission 2 which wasn't even out yet at the time with that explanation out of the way I finished the bounties that I needed in Vanguard Ops by having someone fly me into the playlist once I finished the bounties all that was left was heading to Zavala and seeing if he had the powerful I need it to be 1800 let's see if today was going to be my day one boots arms we'll take it that's a GG that's that's 1,800 oh I'm almost scared to click it just cuz I'm so happy and so exhausted from it oh my finally after 5 days of slow and methodical power grinding I was 1,800 in 5 days without spending a scent starting from 1600 I felt really good about this and felt like a weight was off my shoulders a lot of it Exotics were now very obtainable now that I broke this barrier Not only would Legend lost sectors that are 1830 finally be doable solo but now I could also tackle croz Zen comfortably as well now that I was 18800 it was go time but before then I wanted to get to Guardian rank six so I could finally use armor mods I knew that having resilience mods would really make my life a lot easier and it also couldn't help to have some surge mods when going back into croa I started upgrading my gear and as I went to put on some surge mods this is what happened only one sniper yeah P why is there something I'm learning each time surges serges at seven all right really I can't use armor surges Bungie why every step I take Guardian ranks is there to point and laugh at me Guardian ranks is just so overly restrictive when doing these challenges no matter nothing can take my joy away from not needing to power grind anymore before I went back into the raid I wanted to start off by snagging every remaining chest armor exotic piece that I was missing today was the Bay of drowned wishes and it was the chest piece heroic Legend lost sector that I could finally do solo I get all of my weapons gear and mods in order and then I get started the MVP of this lost sector and honestly all of my Legend lost sectors so ends up being the dragon's breath this thing is a beast with overload rocket and I'm grateful that it was free this season I finished the First lost sector and open the chest hoping to start things off with a bang unfortunately no luck luckily on the second loss sector we were able to get our first Legend lost sector exotic Solo getting the Vesper radius bringing us up to 49 Exotics after that attempt we ran it back and unfortunately didn't have any luck but on our very next attempt we are able to get the wings of sacred Dawn bringing us up to the big 50 Mark in a officially crossing the halfway mark of this challenge I knew I still had a long way to go but being over 50% of the way done with this challenge felt really good and I felt motivated too after two more fails I was able to pick up our final warlock exotic chest piece the sanguine Alchemy bringing us up to the 51 exotic Mark it's important to note that at this point we had ruled out forsaken armor Exotics from being able to drop from ingrams or lost sectors it seemed that the only way to get forsaken armor Exotics for free was for aora herself being now over 50 Exotics if one was going to drop it would have dropped by now it's also important to note that I got those three warlock chest pieces in seven attempts are at a 42.85% drop rate I'd say that's extremely good and fitting for the RNG my warlock usually gets after this I headed to Zur as he owed me something after all of those iron Banner matches and Strikes that I had been doing over the last few days I headed over to him and demanded he give me my exotic Cipher which he gave me after I asked nicely once I had this it was time to switch over to my good old Titan I still had three more chest pieces I needed to grab grab before the reset I got to work and on my third attempt I was able to get the Crest of Alpha loopy bringing us up to 52 Exotics following this I had a drought where I failed four times in a row before finally getting the hallof fire heart bringing us up to 53 Exotics I failed again on my next run but after that I was able to snag my final chest piece exotic for my Titan the armamentarium one that I really enjoy using 54 Exotics off the list funny enough through Vex incursions and ingrams I already had all of my hunter chest pieces so this included our lost sectors for the day overall my Titan was able to get all of his chest pieces in three out of 10 runs or at a 30% drop rate after this it was time to get into the fun stuff the really fun stuff it was time to do something super super fun just kidding it was time for more new light luckily this time I only needed to go through the campaign once on this account since I didn't need to do the iora quests again finishing out the new light campaign also concluded our day five at 54 Exotics I had wished I was a little bit further but the highlight of today was definitely reaching the 1800 Mark once I was done with new light it was time to grind the guardian rank three so that I'd have access to the new light exotic Cipher I knock out my nessus edz and neomuna chores and I head back to zala to increase my guardian rank once I do I claim the triumphs that I need to get my exotic Cipher from New Light even though I have the cipher I can't yet afford to buy any Exotics with it the next thing I do is head toer on the winding Cove to pick up my second xenology quest of the challenge after this I get to work on it I think it's time that I mention how this Quest actually works it requires you to do 21 ritual activities meaning strikes Crucible wins or Gambit you can double the amount of points you get if you do this with a clan meaning I could cut this down to 11 activities this is exactly what I do when I bring back the CB subathon Clan from the last exotic challenge I get to work on the quest and I was really happy to see an exotic drop for me out of the strike here's what I got wait what is that is that like bait that's bait right a it's bait it's bait yeah unfortunately I just got the other side the OG Rat King Sparrow no matter I got back on the grind and I had another drop that surely had to be in the Exotic this time it's happen again what's this time what's that one that's probably just like glimmer right let me pick it up I think it's glimmer how this one goes lit and there's an Ingram that's just a lot of glimmer and it looks like that weirdly enough I know every trick in the book now yep uh classic glimmer Ingram I've been doing these challenges for so long that drops like these don't even phase me anymore I get back to work and after a grueling 11 strikes and a ton more Battlegrounds that I had to keep exiting out of I was able to get my second xenology Quest done I now had two exotic ciphers on this account I head back to orbit and funny enough I get my first dungeon key popup of the challenge asking me to purchase the dungeon key to play Ghost of the deep Bungie I'm not going to crack I jump into dares of Eternity so that we can unlock heroic dares in order to get the golf balls that we need to purchase the two Exotics on this account after we complete the normal dares we jump straight into heroic dares not without Bungie reminding us to buy the 30th anniversary of course once then we try to get it done as quickly as possible truth be told I'm exhausted and just need RNG to work with me luckily on my first heroic darus I was rewarded with an Ascendant Shard for our efforts one golf ball down with that and some glimmer that I picked up from Raul in the season pass I had enough to purchase my first Cipher exotic on this account a pretty good one too the sleeper simulant bringing us up to 55 Exotics after this I dive back into heroic dares and unfortunately my second attempt doesn't bear any fruit and I didn't get a golf ball a Vex incursion spawned after this which was pretty welcome since we hadn't had one in over 24 hours due to the terminal overload overlap I jump back to my first account and load in on my warlock as he's missing the most Exotics of all my characters I pray to the RNG gods and this is what happened N1 what's the point what's the point I genuinely do not understand I'm the only person probably arguably ever to sit in one sitting and collect every exotic in this game in one sitting took 16 days as you guys know in that I did over a 100 Vex incursions over 100 and I only got one duplicate and over a 100 so how is it now that I'm doing the free version of this challenge where I'm not spending any money have I gotten seven duplicates in under 20 Vex incursions whatever it is it's a problem I think I said everything that I could possibly say there I didn't want to think cynically but why did this happen when I was giving Bungie money I had zero issues until I decided to do a free challenge I tried not to have this mindset but the thoughts were becoming intrusive despite this I tried to keep it together and I headed back to my second account as we still had one more golf ball we needed to get truthfully I was feeling super defeated after not only not getting my second golf ball but then dealing with this Vex incursion nonsense we dive back into heroic dares which becomes a lightning round this surely had to be a good sign when we finished it up Zur wed us with the golf ball that we were seeking after this I headed back to the tower where the Exotic Monument was waiting for me the legendary weapons that I got from dares I was able to dismantle and then I used the shards at Raul to get more glimmer that I was needing I decided this time to pick up the old school speedrunning goat weapon the world line zero bringing us up the 56 Exotics in the challenge exhausted I felt like this was a good time to take a small power nap after 3 hours I was ready to get back to it after waking up I did what any normal person would do after getting some rest eating breakfast I mean new light I can't escape funny enough but before I can even finish the first mission of Vex incursion spawns being honest I didn't have High Hopes but I headed over to my first account and flew into neomuna on my warlock after finishing the event here's what happened they're new they're new guys they're new to my shock we got a new exotic the Luna faction boots from a Vex incursion which shouldn't have been shocking but after everything I had pretty much lost faith 57 Exotics off the list after this I head back to my my third account where I continue new light I get to the second mission the cold boot and ironically a second Vex incursion spawns so I finish it up and head to neomuna on my warlock again now before we go any further I want you to close your eyes and envision a sight that makes you sad now open your eyes I'll give you guys an exclusive look of what I saw when I closed my eyes no duplicate uh ah I just can't with these Vex incursions they've literally been the biggest letdown of this challenge I tried to rally and I did my best to power through lightful on my third account followed by suffering through my chores to get to Guardian rank three once I was there I was trying to claim my exotic Cipher but I was having some really weird issues I couldn't unlock the Triumph to get my Cipher literally nothing was going right at this point and I couldn't figure out why I tried not to let it get to me and I figured I'd just just pick up my xenology Quest from Zur and try to figure it out later my day six unfortunately ended on this note but surely the next 24 hours will be kinder to us in 6 days we had 57 Exotics which was just shy of 10 Exotics per day average for an added stat we had six exotic duplicates from Vex incursions as well which meant that we really should have had 63 Exotics I got to work on the xenology quest by knocking out strikes as quickly as I could while I was doing the strikes I was annoyed that I couldn't figure out what was going wrong with the new light Cipher even though I didn't want to let it get to me it definitely was while I tried to scour my brain in the internet for what had gone wrong I was met with a Vex incursion that I hurried back to my first account to take advantage of I went back to my warlock as you could have guessed to minimize the chances of a duplicate luckily the game showed mercy on me as I was able to get the transverse of steps bringing me up to 58 Exotics after this I got back on the Vanguard Ops grind aka the Battleground playlist finally after more than five strikes I figured out what was wrong if you've ever collected a single exotic you get this for free that's what it is I think I know what happen Vex incursion happened right when I was going to maves key I don't think I ever picked up mes key so I don't have tractor Cannon we Vex incursion right when I was supposed to get tractor Cannon to get that secret Triumph you need to collect one exotic just one and usually that exotic is the tractor Cannon when we get Ma's key but on this account right when I was about to open Ma's key a a Vex incursion spawned and after I did it I went right back to the account and continued on with the new light campaign without ever going back and retrieving the Exotic even though this cost me some time I was glad that it was my own mistake and not a bug after the strike I went back to the cosmo Drome to pick up the tractor Cannon and sure enough the Triumph was there waiting for me to collect right after this after this I grinded out the rest of my strikes to receive my second exotic Cipher on this account I won't bore you with what's next because I'm sure you can guess it normal dares followed by a heroic dares I grinded to get heroic dares done until I got my two golf balls it took absolutely forever to get the golf balls to drop this time which was super frustrating after I got them both it was time to head back to the Exotic Monument to pick up my next two Exotics before that I decided to do something that I haven't talked about at all yet I decided to open up a dar's vetern Zur box these have a small chance of grining you an exotic I had done a few here and there earlier in the challenge but I hadn't mentioned them yet because I declared they were useless during the all exotic Challenge and that challenge I opened up almost 30 Zur boxes and didn't even get one exotic so I decided not to focus on these during this challenge as they had wasted enough of my time on the last challenge because of this I didn't grind any additional strange coins but with my bad golf ball luck I found myself able to buy one when I opened that Zer box up this is what ended up happening this will be the first one in three two and one I actually got an exotic I couldn't believe it after 30 fails in my previous challenge I just casually opened one up after a few tries after this I sped back to the tower as fast as I could to take the Ingram de Raul I opened it up and here's what I got two and one it's a dke unfortunately I got a duplicate crust about the loopy but I wasn't really tripping over this I was on a brand new account and I already had over 60 Exotics on my first account so getting a duplicate was highly likely this account was mainly just for ciphers and raid Exotics anyways I just found it pretty cool that I was able to get an exotic in the Zur boox not wasting any more time I headed back over to the Exotic Monument when I got there I changed my mind and decided to pick up my favorite weapon The Whisper of the worm that cost two ascendant shards instead of one this meant that I'd have to grind for another golf ball but I figured it was better to knock out the more expensive Cipher Exotics first 59 Exotics down you may be wondering why is we still at one more kios exotic to get on this account well I unfortunately had made another huge miscalculation once again I didn't realize there was maintenance coming that was going to be taking the game offline this time for 3 hours until the weekly reset that time was quickly approaching and I had a lot of lost sector Exotics that I still needed to obtain before it did I get to work as quickly as possible this time the legend lost sector was the chamber of Starlight and the Exotic was the helmet I was already done with my Titan helmets but I had quite a few that I still needed to get on my Warlock and Hunter this lost sector proved to be brutal for me despite me being at 1800 and relying on dragon's breath as much as I could despite this after just my first attempt I was able to get the apotheosis Veil bringing us up to the big 60 Exotics this had to be good luck right I definitely believe that after this happened on the very next run I'm glad it's a crimson Catalyst bro really uh clearly RNG was showing us that it was going to be on our side during this lost sector we followed the Crimson Catalyst with three failed attempts which made me start to get nervous but on the next run I was able to get the eye of another world getting us up to 61 Exotics after this a Vex incursion spawned which seemed like a great sign so I headed over to neomuna as I was already on my warlock I prayed for the good luck to continue and not only did the good luck not continue but the game continued to test my limits giving me an exotic that I literally got 30 minutes ago Bungie why this is when things took a turn for the worst the Lost sector started to absolutely destroy me I just can't stress enough how hard this is on a new character I was completing runs but they were extremely slow on top of this I failed the next six lost sectors in a row overall we went two for 11 on warlock drops or 18.1 182% which was absolutely soul crushing I was still missing two warlock helmets and one Hunter helmet but we had to stop for something else that was extremely urgent before maintenance I hadn't done my three ritual exotic Pinnacles for my Warlock and I was going to miss out on three crucial ingrams I needed to save to get exotic weapons in the late game I rushed as fast as I could to get through these big shout out to everyone in the community who runs these activities with me during these challenges while we were running these strikes this kind of caught me off guard I'm actually confused because I I don't I have one more strike I don't even know what that is I'm going to keep it real I have one more strike what is that is it a sparrow yeah it's the other side that's I thought like that's why I figured okay I had assumed since I already got the other side Sparrow I wouldn't get it again but I forgot that that was on my third account this was just the start of the madness as a Vex incursion spawned right after since I had already gotten a million duplicates on each character I deemed it didn't matter what character I was on since I was getting unlucky no matter what I decided to stay on my Titan this run even though I was missing less Exotics and well this happened please please don't be a duplicate just don't be a duplicate don't be a duplicate don't be a duplicate please game I was officially done with Vex incursions something I loved something that I praised Bungie for now I despised I just didn't get it why weren't they working were they stealth changed does Bungie hate free-to-play players what was the deal this was it for me and I was completely over it I get back to my Warlock and continue grinding my exotic ingrams this was taking longer than it should have because I was getting extremely unlucky with Battlegrounds but what's new after this to try to torment me once again a Vex incursion spawns what I do here may surprise you I didn't hop on my Titan on this account I didn't hop on my warlock I didn't even hop on my hunter I logged off the game did I Rage Quit no but I did do something I've never done before in the history of my challenges I logged back into my main OG account why you might ask well I had every single warlock exotic besides one on my main account I was only missing the Brier binds this was my declaration if there truly was no bat luck protection then I should not get Brier binds I only would have a one in40 chance of getting it if there was truly no bad luck protection however if I do get Brier binds then there's 100% without a doubt bad luck protection what was the only difference my account that I'm using during the challenge is free to- playay and my OG account has given Bungie hundreds and hundreds of dollars if I was to get Brier binds officially 1,000% confirmed Bungie locked bad luck protection behind a pay wall which would be unprecedented it was time to put it all to the test here's what happened two one I alt f4d instantly I couldn't believe it good luck is payal I had seen it all funny enough cheese forever had made a video on this 3 months ago but no one talks about this best believe I'll be doing anything in my power to help raise awareness on this because in my opinion this is ridiculous after this I tried to Rally as best as I could as the offline maintenance was still approaching really really quick and I had a lot of strikes I had to finish once I completed them the final exotic Ingram for my warlock was mine as I mentioned I was going to be saving all of these exotic ingrams so it was now time to rush back over to my first account to get back into the legendary lost sector so I could hope get some more attempts in in true fashion and you can't even make it up another Vex incursion spawned right when I got back to my first account and I wasn't even excited for it if it drops something new great but if not oh well here's what happened it's not a duplicate that's funny Winner's guy no duplicate imagine that we actually got a new exotic the Winner's gu bringing us up to 62 Exotics I was still fed up with the Vex incursions but at least it was something new after the strike grinding and The Surge of Vex incursions it was time to rush back into the Lost sector with the tiny little bit of time we had remaining would I get another exotic well here was Our Fate when I tried our first attempt never mind all right the biggest lesson that I've learned during this challenge outside of Vex incursions being an absolute waste of time is that I need to check the tabs to know if maintenance is going to be happening when I'm doing these challenges this was absolutely soul crushing twice now after this all I could do is sit and wait for 3 hours for the reset to come and this wasn't just going to be any normal weekly reset this was going to be the weekly reset that brought us the dawning I took a quick shower during this period And once the servers came back on I headed back into the game the dawning didn't have too much that could benefit new players on their exotic grind so I got right back to work I miss Dawning Exotics like the Nova mortise with another reset came a new lost sector to farm this time being the pair Edition on Europa that was offering exotic boots I still needed quite a few so this was really ideal for me I got right to work and I got the mk44 stand decides on my first try bringing us up the 63 Exotics after this we had two fails in a row followed by two successes in a row where I got the lion rampants one of my favorite Exotics and the peacekeepers bringing us up to 65 Exotics this completed my Titan Exotics with us getting three Exotics in five attempts or a 60% drop rate this was our first major Milestone of the challenge too we officially completed one of our characters full set of armor this felt amazing and it meant something something very important that I'll explain to you it meant that now every single exotic Ingram that I open up on my Titan was guaranteed to be an exotic weapon as long as I'm still missing weapons this is how you target Farm exotic weapons in the game complete your armor first and then all of your ingrams will be guaranteed to be weapons it was time to put this to the test I conveniently had my level 45 season pass exotic ready to be opened and here's what happened when I opened it 3 2 1 weapon good all right our plan is working our Target farming is working it's working there we go and that my friends is an example of how you can exotic weapon Target Farm in this game we got the Huckleberry bringing us up the 66 Exotics and officially putting us at the 2/3 Mark of this challenge now that I was Guardian rank six it's also important to note that I can now buy golf balls from Raul which felt especially great with all of the mats I had gotten from fire team lost sector farming after that shopping spring it was time to pick up another Cipher exotic this time on my first account I never spent my xenology Cipher that I completed from doing iron Banner so it was finally time to do that I bought the Polaris Lance bringing us up to 67 Exotics after this I grinded tirelessly to get another exotic Cipher we had coming up the level 55 season pass exotic Cipher this was going to be a brutal grind but luckily since it was the weekly reset we now had new seasonal challenges and new weekly bounties that we could do I continued to grind as as hard as I could as I knew even after we got that exotic Cipher there' be another exotic Ingram that we' need even deeper on the season pass I decided to do my first ritual exotic Pinnacle in Gambit to knock out challenges as well as bounties as well on my final Gambit game this is what happened and that's team out their Prim all right there's our exotic I go open that up we got a momento too oh we got both that's pretty cool not only did my exotic Pinnacle drop but a Gambit momento drop too I never get these on my main account but I always get them when I do these challenges after this it was time to go back to Raul as we could safely open up this Ingram with 100% confidence that this would be an exotic weapon since we were still on my Titan ironically we got the fighting lion from Gambit which is funny for anyone who remembers the all exotic challenge fighting lion clip yes no way 68 Exotics down that concluded our day seven officially a week at came and gone in the challenge we were just shy of 70 Exotics at this point which wasn't our original goal of finishing the challenge but my new goal was to complete this challenge in single digit days so that meant that we need to finish this before 10 full days or 240 hours hours also I can't say enough how much I appreciate you guys keeping the stream going for an entire week at this point Thank you day eight began how day seven ended more ritual activity farming to get my ritual exotic Pinnacles while I grind XP after three more activities I got my second exotic Ingram for the week I headed back to Raul to open up my Ingram and I was given the OG rry weapon the aralis bringing us up to 69 Exotics nice after this it was time to finish something that we had been grinding throughout the challenge the necrochasm we were one run away from completing the quest so I was excited to get to it we ran through it as fast as we could and we were able to complete the final step which meant that all that was between me and the necrochasm was one final croa checkpoint clear I loaded into croa and I told him that he had something that belonged to us after he went down he gave us what we were after I'm already done I didn't give there it is though there it is to the postmaster something's never change the necro Castle I'm bringing us up to 70 Exotics off the list it's also important to note that through this grind I was already up to 145 of the 240 spoils that I would need to get the legend of acreas back on the topic of necrochasm though every great exotic weapon always has a great exotic Catalyst I mean popup hey look and sell me to buy byebye new ornament available corrupted logic congratulations on discovering it now purchase it no no no this is the zero account Bungie I'm not going to falter unless maybe it's bat luck protection on Vex incursions then maybe I I may after this it was on the Vault of Glass we got the secret chests along the way for extra spoils as I knew Legend of acre is still required a decent amount of spoil grinding once we got to Aon I was hoping that we would get the Vex myth the class in the first three tries here's how the first run went after this a vex incursion spawned and I decided to try a new Theory we're going to go to my warlock we're not going to pick it up we're going to let it go to the Vault and then we're going to see what happens if you didn't follow that I planed to jump on my Warlock and not pick up the Vex incursion exotic and instead let it go to the postmaster to see if maybe that would somehow add the bat luck protection back would this new method bear us any fruit well just watch one just leaving this game this game is not this game is not this game G yeah there was no hope at this point moving on it's time to get back to Vault of Glass would I get it in the next two tries let's find out all right guys manifest fun game all right and we're off three fails on vog definitely hurt but I was assuming that we'd be able to Rally later and get it for now it was on to King's fall to see if Touch of malice would be any nicer on the way I once again made sure to pick up all my spoils from the secret chests once we made it to orex it was time to see if Touch of malice would show itself all right number one is a fail nope last one oh oh no no no no no oh no unfortunately touch of malice was not nice to us but surely my RNG would turn around later in the challenge surely surely funny enough on the last Touch of malice run a Vex incursion spawned so we hurried over to neomuna right after we finished the Run nope expecting a duplicate I was pleasantly surprised to get a new warlock exotic the aidian aspects bringing us up the 71 Exotics also funny enough we got the fighting lion Catalyst but I never saw it drop we ended up concluding after going back in the footage that this had to have dropped from one of the minars we pushed off the cliff during the gatekeeper challenge as we checked every other enemy that I killed in the footage after this it was back to the paradition LW sector as we needed to take advantage of this before the reset we dive into the First lost sector in my Hunter and I'm pleased to get the frosties bringing us up to 72 Exotics after another fail the RNG Gods blessed us with the lucky pants bringing us up the 73 Exotics would they be lucky for us well we failed the next two but then we were able to get the orus rigs bringing us up to 74 Exotics that concluded our hunter boots we got three Exotics in six attempts or a 50% drop rate which was pretty good as we were on the Run where the orus rig dropped another Vex incursion spawned would it be a new exotic let's find out nope just another dupe it's a good thing we're not trying to complete a challenge or anything funny enough right after this a second Vex incursion spawned before I could do anything else I'll spare you the suspense though because I got another duplicate apotheosis Veil I was officially past just getting duplicates now I was getting duplicates of duplicates what could be better after this I grinded to get my third ritual exotic Pinnacle on my Titan as it was another guaranteed weapon now that we could Target Farm exotic weapons on my Titan after I had the Ingram all that was left was taking it to rul and claiming my exotic weapon it ended up being the sky burner's oath bringing us up to the 75 exotic Mark more than 34s of the way done with this challenge the Vex incursions didn't stop pouring in as another one spawned after this let's spin the Vex incursion roulette and see one just another dupe just another dupe we tried of course we got a duplicate wouldn't expect anything less it would get worse than this but let's talk about something good first to break up the sadness we jump back back to my third account where we only picked up one Cipher exotic which ended up being the whisper of the worm we grinded to get one more Ascendant Shard from legendary dares once we did it was back to the Exotic kiosk where we were able to pick up the good old Rat King bringing us up the 76 Exotics off the list after this we got another Vex incursion to spawn I'm going to give you guys a test after watching 76 of the Exotics drop of the 99 of this Challenge from this Vex incursion did we a get a new exotic B get a dup exotic or C get a duplicate of the last duplicate that we just got from a Vex incursion let's find out and worm husk no no no absolutely not absolutely not just absolutely not I just got that if you chose C great job you're correct this just statistically doesn't even make sense but Vex and cions were dead to me so it's fine funny enough the despair wasn't even done but let's come back to it later after this I took a nap until reset as I couldn't bear the pain anymore once I woke up it was the daily reset which me a new lost sector in the rotation this time it was exotic arms on the bunker E15 in Europa meaning that we can make a really good dent in our armor Exotics after two failed attempts we strike gold and get the claws of ahankara bringing us up to the bungee number 77 Exotics the next two attempts I failed but on the second fail I was pleased to see this happen oh I talked about it finally yes yes yes yes World drop yes finally we got a world drop this world drop would be huge when it would come to getting our remaining exotic weapons late in the challenge I was carefully spreadsheeting each exotic Ingram I had remaining or left to earn and paired them with the remaining exotic weapons I had left after this world drop I was feeling really good about the next lost sector and sure enough the k 16 armlets Dro bringing us up the 78 Exotics wanting to keep the momentum going I jumped right back into the Lost sector unfortunately the next two runs were fails but after that I was blessed with the Aon Souls finishing off our warlock arms and getting us up to 79 Exotics overall my warlock got three Exotics and nine tries in this lost sector or had a drop rate of 33.3% which wasn't great but we had definitely seen worse moving on we jumped right on to my hunter who ended up having some pretty good luck to start things off we ended up getting the mechaneer's trick sleeves bringing us up to the big 80 Exotics that unfortunately concluded our day I completely hated Vex incursions by this point and never wanted to hear them named again at least we were up to 80 Exotics which was nice we needed to get the remaining 19 Exotics in under 48 hours if we wanted to achieve our goal of doing this in under 10 full days we keep the grind going to start day n with more lost sectors as we still need one more pair of Hunter gauntlets after our first attempt that was pleased to be given the sealed aam C as grass bringing us up to 81 Exotics overall we went two for seven on gauntlets or a 28.57% drop rate which honestly was not great after this I stayed on my Hunter and started knocking out more weekly bounties to get as much xp as I could for my next season pass exotic I would just need one more after this to have everything fully accounted for I decided to do the dares of Eternity weekly bounties they can be a little tough but I got them done without much difficulty one nice thing about them is they're a great source of strange coins and Zur boxes funny enough speaking of Zer boxes I decided to open up two of my Hunter and here's what happened two strange coins is actually good that's a good that's a good prize that's a good prize that's a good prize I can love it that I can live with it too strange coins is good strange coins is good and this challenge was going totally different than the non free exotic challenge I couldn't believe it this was going to be huge as I could save this Ingram until I finished all of my hunter Exotics so I could guarantee this being an exotic weapon after this I continued on doing as many of the weekly bounties as I could as we were getting so close as I finished another legendary dares and completed another bounty we had something really funny happen from beyond the stars is that a catalyst thank you for joining us tonight I don't think I could be anything else right I think it has to be a catalyst I think or is it I assume so see it's bore alysis after this is where things got extremely weird I saw something that I had never really seen before ever not only did I guess it but there's two of them I have two of them yeah two catalysts just like that world's first world's first to have two of them not only did I guess the Catalyst but somehow I got it twice in all of the destiny I've played I've never seen anything like this after this we got back to the weekly dares Bounty grind as we were getting so close to our final season pass exotic that we needed for the challenge as crazy as it sounds with a bit more grinding we were able to finish another weekly Bounty which set us over the edge and unlocked our next seasonal exotic 65 painful levels in just over 8 Days upon getting to this rank it was time to go back to my spreadsheet to make sure I had every single exotic weapon accounted for we only needed one more exotic Ingram before I could safely unlock every single exotic weapon we would figure out where to get this exotic Ingram later but for now it was time for more don't say it please don't say it new light unfortunately we still had two more Exotics to get from the kiosk that weren't Legend of acreas so we needed to push through new light again I got to new light followed by grinding to level three in Guardian ranks to pick up my first exotic Cipher on this account after this it was time for more dares of Eternity followed by legendary dares to get another golf ball I'd prayed that I'd get lucky on my first try well for once in this challenge Not only was my prayer answered but it was more than answered thank you oh I got two oh my gosh two for the price of one it said I got two golf balls which meant no more legendary dares for this character I rushed back to the Tower and headed to the kiosk where I picked up the Mida multi-tool bringing us up to 82 Exotics right as this dropped it was right back to my first account as a Vex incursion spawned and I headed to neomuna on my warlock you all know where I stand with Vex incursions at this point so I'll spare you all Verity's brow dropped bringing us up to 17 duplicates just on Vex incursions alone we could have saved well over a day in this challenge just if everything cooperated after this it was unfortunately back to new light on my fifth account of the challenge as I couldn't pick up a technology on this account because Zur wasn't here yet I wasn't tripping as I figured if my RNG was bad I would probably need extra accounts anyways when attempting raid Exotics I get to work on it and I'll skip you the parts that you know at this point new light followed by Guardian ranks followed by legendary dares followed by heading back to the tower once all of this was done the Sturm was mine bringing us up to 83 Exotics I could now taste getting out of exotic Cipher jail we still had acreas to do but we had the cipher for it already and now all we needed was the remaining spoils to get it done before our soul could finally be freed we hopped back onto my first account and grind it more cotus we were getting super close and the Finish Line was near so I decided that croa checkpoints would be the most optimal thing to do here after a ruthless grind over the course of a week on our seventh checkpoint run of the day we finally had the remaining spoils that we needed to get to the 240 spoil Mark after this I headed back to the tower to finally be freed from spoiled prison I go to the kiosk and it feels good to finally be able to by my beloved Legend of acreas getting us to 84 Exotics off the list let's go thanks guys oh finally no more ciphers I hate ciphers so much with that all of the red War kios Exotics were ours you would think that the rest of this challenge would just be celebration from now a lot of smiles and maybe some champagne but the next chapter of this video is called champagne without the Sham next on our list was getting Touch of malice and all that stood in between us was Orcs And The SMS verification that's right I could no longer verify accounts with my phone number as I've done it too many times throughout these challenges unfortunately when playing free raids you have to have your account verified I had to do something here that might surprise you guys I called my mom I called my dad I called my brother and I called a bunch of my other friends to start helping me verify accounts throughout this challenge cuz you know like how I like was like collecting everything right uh in the in the game with like that uh the video that we watched at that one point so like when I do those things it requires like new accounts and I've made tons of new accounts and all these challenges and each time I have to verify the phone number and i' I've done it too many times so now I'm calling you to save the day so I'm going to use your phone number and then I need you to text me a code and then I'm hoping that you're going to give me the good luck to get what I need on this account thank you after we got this problem solved it was time to get into the attempt starting on my second account surely this wouldn't take [Music] long this game this game is great what a great game no matter surely my third account would have better luck [Music] three more attempts and three more fails honestly I was losing hope slowly but we still had two more accounts that it surely would drop on I hop on my fourth account and I'm greeted with the wide croa screen after that little bit of weirdness it was time to get into the attempts here's how they went bro where where is the loot where is the L where is literally the loot wait what is happening what am I missing something please be something else there please be something else no no no I got baited by The Challenge no I hate the challenge four accounts and still no fruit surely our fifth account would be the turning point I really really didn't want to do another new light campaign let's see how things went that was unfortunately all of my accounts tapped out and all I could do is smile through the pain and thus spending 06 was born I went as fast as I can speeding through the new light campaign once I did I decided that I would get to Guardian rank three so I could try some of the r triumphs this time since the normal RNG was killing me I rushed through my neam a chores so that I could get back into the raid and unfortunately this happened how runs I go well I'm contacting no not towards the end towards the end would be so painful if they're like yeah do the whole first mission again thank you sweet nothing was going right and everything was fighting against me at this point RNG Vex incursion servers you name it once again all I could do is sit on my couch and just smile through the pain and wait for the servers to come back on one cool thing that happened was while I was waiting gups sent me a custom gups bath R nothing like getting the Exotics while you're warm and comfy make sure to use code CB at checkout by the way after we got back into the game we speed through everything and finally get to Guardian rank three by stopping by The Magic Tree that deems that I can use Guardian ranks now after this it was back into the raid during these checkpoint runs we are going to be taking advantage of two different triumphs that boost RNG one killing oric in one go which meant we were going to be one phasing him and two not killing the same ogre or Knight twice which is pretty easy when you do a one phas we would be making this happen with my tractor Cannon paired with five whisper catalysts we finished the first run and I claim my two triumphs knowing it won't take effect until the next run but I'm hoping it'll grant me some good luck let's see please please please please no no no matter the next two runs would have RNG boosters hopefully this would mean something this was starting to feel like my main account if anybody remembers my original grind to get touch of malice here we go here we go come on come on nope after this I decided that we would grind three new accounts before we tried Orcs again again we are going to also be getting each of these accounts to Guardian rank three as well this was brutal and it took hours on hours on hours once we had all three accounts at Guardian rank three and ready to go it was time to get back into the raid once again I made sure we got both triumphs upon completing Orcs to give us the RNG boosters I set a prayer to RNG to free my soul and here was my fate go on let's recap I've now tried touch aalice 27 times and I failed miserably all 27 of those attempts could anything just go right there was just no light at the end of the tunnel but speaking of light this amazing RNG meant it was time to go back to New Light the plan this time was to get my 10th account yes I set my 10th account to Guardian rank three so we could do the triumphs then we would do a full run of triumphs to see if we could get better luck we start off never standing on the same plates at the same time in the totems challenge then at War priest we make sure that everyone gets the buff before the same person grabs it again next we made sure that each damage phase that everybody got the go grth gaze which was a really fun blast from the past as well we followed this up with the good old Flores lava challenge in the sisters encounter and just like that finally we were back at Orcs the taken King who had taken my soul at this point in this encounter once again we one phased them and didn't kill the same ogres and knights to get the two additional orangy boosters all that was left was seeing if any of these three runs would be the Run here's what happened there is no TR wait this is what happiness looks like and I told you that the chapter of this video is called pain let's see what actually happened [Music] we were now officially at 30 fails I couldn't believe it the RNG boosters were doing nothing and I was regretting the time that I wasted getting to Guardian rank three on so many accounts and wasting time on triumphs I was crushed absolutely crushed I was so frustrated at this point over the challenge that I just had to take a nap to sleep it off I wanted to keep grinding but I just felt too defeated I did promise myself that this would be the final sleep of the challenge when I wake up I'm still feeling sad but it's time to finish this challenge I decide we need to end day nine on a win so I jump back on my Titan on my first account to open up my 65 level season pass exotic on my Titan since it's guaranteed to be a weapon I just needed to see an exotic drop at this point I go to rul and go back to our 100% exotic weapon Target Farm we get the cold heart bringing us up to 85 Exotics that concluded our day n with 85 Exotics Touch of malice and Vex incursions have ruined this challenge we officially needed to finish this challenge before another 24 hours went by if we wanted to successfully finish this challenge before 10 full days passed would we succeed only time would tell another big reason I decided that final nap I took was okay that I was talking about earlier was because I knew I'd wake up desser waiting for us with the final faded Ingram that we needed to have every single exotic weapon accounted for this man I could finally get every single random drop exotic weapon remaining in the challenge today so our exotic total was going to Skyrocket fast I start off on my Hunter and began doing my first of nine strikes that I would need to collect my final three exotic ingrams on this character as soon as I get started I get a Vex incursion to spawn so I hurry over truth be told I only have three armor Exotics left and they were all helmets so I wasn't really tripping if this was a duplicate I already had enough exotic ingrams across my three characters to account for them plus it was the helmet loss sector on neomuna anyways however of course since we don't need an exotic to drop from the Vex incursion and because I don't care if it's a duplicate you can already guess what happened [Music] one we get the Stag because of course we got the Stag bringing us up to 86 Exotics and only two armor Exotics remaining of course after this I get back to the the strike grind and before I knew it we were able to grab all three of our remaining exotic ingrams this brought me up to a total of four exotic ingrams on my hunter one from the Exotic Zer boox we got from earlier and these three that we just earned it was time to open all four of these ingrams but before I do for some extra details we were still missing one final Hunter exotic armor piece however I wasn't worried because I had enough exotic ingrams to cover all but one exotic for the rest of the challenge and I could use Zur faded Ingram to fill in the final Gap we had an extremely high chance of getting the remaining weapons so I was mainly expecting to see weapons here I open up the first exotic and I'm given the merciless bringing us up to 87 Exotics it goes to my postmaster and I go to retrieve it when I'm greeted with this oh when do we get Sky burer Catalyst we've gotten so many catalysts during this challenge the next exotic we get is the prospector bringing us up to 88 Exotics the Exotic weapon Target farming was working beautifully I opened up our next exotic once again expecting to a weapon and to my satisfaction I met with the vigilance Wing bringing us up to 89 Exotics what exotic would drop for the big 90 let's find out two one and there's our helmet and look at that we got our final Hunter exotic the worm hust Crown bringing us up to the big 90 exotic mark this felt fantastic the ball was rolling and I was ready to keep it going in the back of my head I knew that we had some unfinished business to return to we would talk about that later though after this I swapped hoed over to my warlock as it was time to repeat a similar process we had currently four warlock Exotics ready to be opened these were exotic ingrams that we save from earlier three being from before the reset when we speed ran strikes and one being from a world drop in the Lost sector from the other day once again these would most likely all be weapons but even if they weren't we still at the safety faded Ingram even better we at three more exotic ingrams to get for the three Pinnacle ritual ingrams this week that we still hadn't earned on my warlock so before the day was over we'd have seven Exotics to open up on my warlock let's start with the four that we did have I opened up the first exotic and I met with the nzar S bringing us up to 91 Exotics I was shocked as we hit more weapons in our loot pool but this wasn't necessarily a bad thing at this point like I mentioned earlier with that we officially not only just completed my warlock armor but we obtained every single free exotic armor piece in the game which felt great before I open up any other Exotics I want to mention that at this point officially every single exotic Ingram was guaranteed to be an exotic weapon we didn't have this was exotic Target farming at its finest and it felt really good to be at this point of the challenge the next exotic we got to drop was the Testo besto bringing us up the 92 Exotics on the list we opened up Ingram number three and we were met with the siros regime bringing us up to 93 Exotics I open up my fourth exotic and I'm met with the original laser tag weapon the Prometheus lens bringing us up the 94 Exotics I want to explain now why I planed this so carefully on a spreadsheet I had three random drop exotic weapons remaining Darcy sweet business and sunshot and I had three more warlock Exotics already ready to be earned from ritual exotic ingrams for the icing on the cake Zur had a faded Ingram as well as a backup all the chips were falling into place and it was time to get our last three exotic random drop weapons we get to work on the strikes and before you know it we have two of the ingrams of the three ready to go you may have noticed that I only set two and that's because I decided to let Zur do the honors of giving us our last random drop exotic I head to the Tower and I open up our first Ingram and I'm given the sunshot 95 Exotics off the list the good old Darcy was the next exotic to Dro bringing us up to 96 Exotics after this all that was left was heading to Zer so he could give us our final prize lucky for us he happened to be in the tower this week so I paid him a visit so he could end this chapter of the challenge would Zur act right let's find out see you later and that is how you successfully Target Farm weapons and just like that we H 97 Exotics of the total 99 Exotics obtained we officially had every exotic that wasn't a random drop raid exotic I wanted to celebrate but I knew we were already 30 fails deep in touch of malice tries I came up with a new plan to tackle Touch of malice now that I had a fresh perspective I decided that I would create three new light accounts get them all up to Guardian rank three get all of them the six RNG boosters that we could get them and then we'd have 18 tries of op attempts at touch aalice if this method didn't work it would just mean that I needed to uninstall the game is that would mean 48 total fails I get to work hopefully one final time on new light this process took well over 3 hours just to get all three of these accounts rable to put all this in perspective once I'd be done with this I would have created 13 accounts and done the full new light campaign 15 times in the new light first mission 39 times just in this challenge alone if it didn't drop here it was going to be the end for me I just couldn't take it anymore by this point you all had kept the subathon going for over 9 days and I couldn't be any more thankful and grateful to you guys for keeping this challenge alive and for all of the support this process was grueling and mentally I couldn't help but go crazy hearing shahan's voice over and over and over and over again I was going insane to make matters worse the game decided that it no longer wanted to follow its own code for the city I'm soft locked hope they'll still let me grab the quest dude I'm soft thing like having a Titan out on the front line wait what just happened I was like trying to plan for the next part and then I was like why am I not moving once they're all ready to raid whoa I was used to doing that that was weird uh who oh my there's ghosts bro what is going on with these ships why do they have to like come all the way down they're like it's like they're laying eggs bunch of drags in the ground oh no it doesn't work ah fun that's funny after all of this weirdness and grinding for over four hours I was finally ready to give this up to 18 strong attempts we dive in getting the totems challenge done first once again we follow this up by getting the war priest challenge done after this it was back to goth Challenge and he didn't put up very much resistance once we were past Gogi it was time for the floor to once again be Lava ified all that was left after the this was killing the taken King in one phase while not killing the ogres and knights more than once after this it was time to go all in and see where the chips would fall here's how it went it was beginning to feel like deja vu all over again my soul couldn't take it anymore I was at my breaking point and everything was feeling hopeless I thought this was going to be the end of the challenge but on my very next attempt this happened wait wait wait wait wait I feel like I heard it wait I'm not going to cap I feel like I heard it I feel like I heard it I really do feel like I heard it I I feel like I heard it I I I hold on hold on I really do feel like I heard it out here I I really do feel like I heard it I really do feel like I heard it please please please for the love of God please don't a bait at me please don't AIT at me please don't AIT at me please please please please please thank [Music] you [Music] yes oh my gosh finally finally after 32 attempts Touch of malice was ours and it felt amazing I could literally cry I was so happy with this breakthrough getting our final exotic and sub 10 full days was looking like it could actually be possible once again 98 Exotics off the list everything was going to come down to one final raid we had already failed three times at this point but we had 12 more accounts or 36 remain remaining attempts on these accounts that I had created if it didn't drop here it never would I hop in the Vault of Glass clearing it as fast as possible I made the decision that the first 20 attempts we wouldn't do any RNG boosts and if it started to look hopeless we would go back and start grabbing some of the triumphs on some of my later accounts because of this we get to start right at aeon and we get right into the action would it drop on our very first run of these attempts let's find out I'll see y'all later just not not yet I guess no worries it now dropping on the first try wasn't really the end of the world but surely it would take too long [Music] [Music] right hold on I'm glad we didn't get it on that it was starting to not look great but now wasn't the time to let my faith waver we kept pushing as hard as we could and here's what came out of it oh where is it oh darn it let it be real I'm sorry to inform you guys but the one piece just isn't real would it drop on our next account let's see please please [Music] please we were now up to 15 fails for vex meth clast it was starting to look like this would be the new touch of malice the 10 full day Mark was quickly approaching and we had less than 12 hours to get this ch challenge done before we go any further let's recap some of the important stats from this challenge Vex Smith class hadn't dropped in 15 runs Touch of malice dropped in 32 runs necrochasm took nine croa runs to obtain also we received 17 duplicates from Vex incursions getting back into the challenge though would this next run be it once again another and another Miss we jumped on to the next character and we tried to keep the momentum going here's how the next run [Music] went another try and unfortunately another fail I was beginning to think that unfortunately this challenge just was never going to end but after 17 fails with Vex Mythic clest on the next run this [Music] happened yes yes yes we did it yes it's real it's real yes oh he did it the adrenaline rushed through my body as I hadn't had a full night's rest in over 9 days the stream had been going for over 200 hours and I had only slept for 23 of those hours my mind was on the destiny 1 subathon which is going to be coming at the end of February so make sure to like this video and follow the twitch at twitch.tv/ cbay if you want to see it live and just like that this concluded the story of how I collected all 99 obtainable free Exotics in 9 days 14 hours 14 minutes and 52 seconds in one stream and man I wish Aira parent was available so we could have gotten all 100 thanks for watching
