Is the Spire of the Watcher farmable?
Yes, loot may be farmed. Meaning you will continue getting dungeon drops from every encounter completed.
Once a new dungeon arrives, Spire of the Watcher will most likely be added to the dungeon rotator. The dungeon rotator features a different dungeon every week and awards a Pinnacle drop upon completion for the week (one per character, weekly) and legendary gear may be farmed when it is featured).
- The weekly pinnacle reward and exotic bow only drops once per week, per character.

Loot Table
The final encounter grants two different engrams drop Non-Pinnacle and Pinnacle. Each encounter will grant one Pinnacle drop once per week and per character, after that only legendary gear will continue to drop from each encounter completed.
