The Dawning 2018

[GazzaGarratt 11,049]

Here's the info from Bungie.net about the event that starts at today's reset.

 

The Dawning begins on Tuesday, December 11.

The Dawning ends on Tuesday, January 1.

 

"Come in, come in! Even you Guardians can catch a chill. Things have certainly changed since I last called this place home. But the Dawning is always here for us: just as we should always be here for each other."

 

—Eva Levante

 

When the Dawning last came to the City, a new Golden Age had just begun. Humanity had faced their greatest threat and emerged victorious, if not unscathed. Our Light had returned, brighter than ever. We were dazzled by the infinite possibilities in the world, and every day brought something new.

 

The return of something familiar can be like a welcome visit from an old friend. This year's Dawning is no exception. Our dear Eva Levante—who was instrumental in bringing the traditions of the Dawning to the Tower—returns with it.

 

Eva's fond memories of the heroes who share her home—and the friends she's made in her many years there—spurred her to write down some of her favorite recipes, and recall stories of Dawnings past. This year, she'll share them with some of her favorite Guardians, and help bring the spirit of togetherness back to the Tower.

 

Baking the Goods

 

Eva has returned to the Tower and brought her baking supplies with her. All players of Destiny 2 are invited to join the celebration. She will provide the oven and some ingredients to get you started, but you will need to go out into world to gather more ingredients by defeating enemies and completing various activities in Destiny 2.

 

Once you have your ingredients, you can start combining them to create some tasty treats like Gjallardoodles or Chocolate Ship Cookies. We’ll give you a few recipes to get you started, but it’s up to you to try different combinations and discover which ones turn into the most delicious cookies. Be careful: mismatched ingredients result in burnt edges.

 

You might be asking: “What do I do with all these cookies?” Friends you’ve made throughout the solar system are eager to receive your baked good as gifts. They will show their thanks by rewarding you in their own ways. There will also be bounties to complete along with your cookbook. Here’s a preview of the rewards you’ll have a chance to earn:

 

• Enhancement Cores
• Mods
• Legendary Gear
• Avalanche Heavy Machinegun, featuring random rolls

 

That’s not all you will earn while you celebrate the Dawning. As you gather ingredients and bake items, you will also progress towards unlocking a festive new Sparrow. 

 

Your new ride will come equipped with some very special perks.

 

Glimmer Boost

While boosting, the Sparrow spawns a glimmer present every few seconds, until boost runs out. Glimmer presents burst open after a moment so that players can acquire the glimmer. Only active during the dawning.

 

Glimmer Trick

When the player lands a trick with the Sparrow, 3 to 5 glimmer presents are spawned. Only active during the Dawning.

 

Instant Summon

Reduces Sparrow summon time significantly.

 

Dedicated bakers will also have triumphs to pursue. Those who unlock all the Triumphs during the Dawning will be flying in style.

 

Double Drops

 

A new event means new wares from Eververse. During the Dawning, we’re continuing the tradition of double Engram drops. All players who are at max level (depending on what content they own) will receive both a Bright Engram and a Dawning Engram on every level-up. There will also be a “knock-out” list on the Dawning Engram, preventing you from receiving duplicate items until you’ve earned all of the new items.

I got mine earlier today, not much of a grind tbh just the gambit and crucible milestones and the flashpoint yesterday

I think the grind being the way it is a really good thing. It's only a 3 week event and my first impressions are that the twist on this type of event using an "oven" and you have to create stuff is a really inventive way of getting variety into the game.

I'm also not finding it to be the ultimate everything that I do. I can do it alongside the other stuff I'm focusing on but then take a look at the oven and items I've received over the past hour to see if I can create anything else.

As a free live event goes, I think it fits in nicely to what is going on in Destiny right now.

Nice Dave! That's all I've really done tonight and can now see the 3 extra bounties to unlock further stats for it.

 

As far as cosmetics go, this is by far the best one we've had and worth the grind for upgrading different stuff from weapons and armour.
