The Eververse is the in-game shop in Destiny 2, where you can buy Bright Engrams for Silver and various items for Bright Dust. However, you do not need to spend money to obtain items from the Eververse.
In the early days of Destiny 2, Bungie faced significant criticism directly related to the Eververse. The reason: Shaders in Destiny 2 are consumables that can only be used once – after that, a new shader is needed. Since the quickest way to get shaders is through the Eververse, via the in-game shop, criticism poured in. Some players even called for a boycott of the Eververse and received strong support.
But what does the Eververse actually offer, and how can you get these items?
Bright Engrams – Silver or Playing
At Tess Everis, you can buy Bright Engrams for real money. However, this is not the only way to obtain these special engravings.
There are two sources:
- Purchase of Silver in the Eververse: A Bright Engram costs 200 Silver. There are also bundles: 3 Engrams cost 500 Silver, and 5 Engrams cost 800 Silver.
You must purchase Silver in the store with real money. You cannot earn Silver through gameplay. 500 Silver costs €4.99. There are several bundles – the most expensive contains 5800 Silver and costs €50. - Experience Points: By defeating enemies and completing activities, you collect experience points. Each time the XP bar fills after level 20, you receive a Bright Engram. In other words, you can also obtain Bright Engrams simply by playing.
Note: You must be character level 20 to purchase Silver. On your Guardian journey, Tess Everis also sometimes gives you a Bright Engram.
What’s inside Bright Engrams?
Most items that can be in a Bright Engram are cosmetic. Not a single one of these items is required to progress in the game or to gain access to an activity. So nobody “has to” buy or open Bright Engrams.
A Bright Engram contains several random items. You cannot determine which specific items are inside beforehand. However, if you hover over a Bright Engram and preview it, you can see which items might be included:
- “Armor of the Optimat”:
- Ornaments for exotic weapons
- Ghost shells
- Emotes
- Sparrows
- Ships
- Shaders
- Mods
- Arrivals (changes teleport effect)
- Armor mods
- Weapon mods
- Bright Dust
Important Information:
- If you buy Bright Engrams from Tess, they are opened immediately, and the items are sent to the correct slots in your character’s inventory.
- If you earn Engrams through experience points, they are in the Engram slots. They must be decrypted by Tess.
- If your inventory is full, the items from the Engrams will be sent to the Postmaster. If the Postmaster is also full, you will lose items. It is therefore recommended to pay attention to having enough free slots before buying Bright Engrams. Lost items will not be replaced by Bungie.
- Many items can be obtained multiple times; others can only be obtained once (like Emotes). You can then retrieve them from the collection in the Vault as often as you like. The other items that you can obtain multiple times will yield Bright Dust when dismantled.
What is Bright Dust and how do I get it?
Bright Dust is an in-game currency that you only receive when you
- open Bright Engrams
- or dismantle Eververse items (exceptions are mods, ornaments, and emotes).
Tess Everis not only offers Bright Engrams for Silver but also items for Bright Dust. This item offering that you can purchase for Bright Dust changes weekly at the Weekly Reset.
Here you will find emotes, sparrows, ships, ornaments, ghost shells, armor pieces, shaders, and fireteam medallions (which increase XP gains in a fireteam for 4 hours). The items cost between 40 and 800 Bright Dust.
Bright Dust cannot be purchased directly. It is also not possible to transfer it to other accounts. The currency is shared between all characters on one account.
By the way: There will occasionally be special offers in the Eververse, according to Bungie.
