Xûr, Agent of the Nine

A peddler of strange curios, Xûr’s motives are not his own. He bows to his distant masters, the nine.

Departs: Tuesday, Jan 31 at 9 AM PST

Where is Xûr?

This weekend Xur is hanging out in the Tower’s Hangar (on stairs by the old Dead Orbit area).

When spawning in the Tower, immediately go to the left and follow the path until you get to the Hangar. Once you get to the Hangar take a left and go straight back until you see stairs on the left. Go up the stairs and Xur should be in the corner on stairs.

TWAB Highlights

Insight Regarding Triumph Fix and Rollback

“Earlier this week, we released Hotfix 6.3.0.5. Shortly after, reports came in that many Triumphs, Seals, and catalysts were missing.

We discovered that the issue was caused when some currently incompletable EDZ and Nessus Triumphs were moved from Forsaken into the archived Triumphs section. To make that change, we used a tool that can move player state from one location to another in the player’s account. This tool is very powerful but requires careful and cautious handling. Due to a configuration error, we accidentally re-ran an older state migration process used for the Beyond Light release. As a result, we ended up re-copying old data from before Beyond Light into the current configuration, essentially undoing certain aspects of player progression since then.

Once we identified that the issue resulted in a loss of player state, we took the game down and rolled back the player database while we investigated how to remove the dangerous change from the build. Last night we constructed a patch for 6.3.0.5 that removed the specific change that was causing the issue, tested it, and deployed it to live.

As a result of this fix, all player accounts had to be rolled back to 8:20 AM PST on January 24. This means that any progress made between 8:20 and 11 AM was lost, and all purchases refunded.

You can find more details at our new @Destiny2Team account here. Thanks again for your patience while we sorted this out!” -Bungie

Creepy Crawly

This year Guardians will be able to vote for their favorite armor set for Festival of the Lost 2023. This year theme is  “creepy crawlies” and the choices are:

  • A spooky spider style
  • Bone-chilling beetle body

This time around, you’ll vote based on your primary class type. For example, if you main a Warlock, you will get a Warlock email. For those who play on more than one class and anyone who have not been able to get Bungie emails for whatever the reason may be, you will get a separate link to submit your votes for your secondary classes (votes will be blended into the same pool).

Please note, these are armor concepts and could change (although Bungie doe snot expect that).

Upcoming Content Changes

The following will be deployed next week to help everyone complete their collections for the Season.

  • Weekly Deepsight (red border) weapon focusing from the Exo Frame at the H.E.L.M. will be adjusted to daily availability for the remainder of the Season to help players craft those final weapons before Lightfall arrives! This will also apply to vendors offering guaranteed Deepsight weapon focusing from Seasons 16 to 18.
  • As a reminder, Iron Banner reputation gains will be increased in several ways when Fortress returns on January 31. These include:
    • An increase to base reputation earned per match.
    • An increased multiplier contribution from wearing Iron Banner armor.
    • An increased multiplier contribution from equipping an Iron Banner emblem.

Season of the Seraph Ends Soon

This Season ends on February 23, 2023. Make sure to redeem any Bungie Rewards retiring at the end of the Season.

Information below is from the following articles: TWAB Enhancing Weapon Crafting

Craftable in Season 20

  • Seasonal weapons. 
  • Neomuna weapons. 
  • Base raid weapons 
  • Plus, a handful of other weapons that don't have direct comparisons to TWQ sources. 

Craftable in Season 21 and beyond

  • Seasonal weapons.
  • Raid reprise weapons. 

Here's a look at crafting changes coming:

  • No more Deepsight Attunement objectives
    • "If you obtain a Deepsight weapon and just want the pattern progress, you can dismantle it. If you want pattern progress and also want to keep the Deepsight weapon, you will also have the option to immediately obtain the pattern without dismantling the weapon."
  • Only locked weapon patterns will drop with Deepsight.
    • "When a Deepsight weapon drops after the release of Lightfall, it will signify a reward you will want to engage with immediately, rather than an afterthought you might toss into the vault for later. Deepsight will operate like a checklist – every red border weapon that drops will be pattern progress that can be earned." 
  • Resonant and Harmonic Alloys will be removed in upcoming seasons.
  • Enhance Adept Lightfall raid weapons starting a few weeks after master difficulty for the Lightfall raid releases.
  • Activate Deepsight on any craftable weapon pattern (coming in Season 21).
  • Leveling a weapon will not require equipping it (coming after Season 21).
    •  Level crafted weapons the current if preferred.
