When the “Age of Triumph” kicks off on March 28, you will be called to the Speaker in the Tower immediately after logging in. Your first steps in this update should therefore lead you to him. He has a multi-part quest for you that, according to Bungie, contains about 12 tasks.
As part of this quest, titled “Age of Triumph”, you will be guided through the new weekly rituals. Your first task consists of completing story missions in the new “Featured Weekly Story Playlist”.
The further steps are still unknown, but you will likely still need to go into the weekly heroic strikes, the Nightfall, the Crucible, the Prison, and the weekly raid. If after each of these tasks the next quest step is “Return to the Speaker”, it adds up to the “about 12 quest steps”.
These are the new weekly rituals
In the screenshot, you can see the weekly rituals at the bottom left. From left to right:
Weekly Crucible Playlist: 6v6 activity (for example Control), where you earn a Treasure of Ages and 10 Legendary Marks.
Weekly Story Playlist: For 1-3 players (no matchmaking). The recommended light level is 380. Three modifiers are active (there haven’t been story missions with modifiers for a long time). The rewards are 1x Treasure of Ages and 5x 20 Legendary Marks. You can earn up to 100 marks in this playlist each week if you play 5 missions. The treasure is only available on the first run each week. The playlists are categorized: For instance, in one week, the missions on Mars and Venus might be featured, while in another week, the missions on Earth and Moon take the spotlight. There will be thematic weeks.
Heroic SIVA Crisis Strike Playlist: Heroic strikes with modifiers. Recommended light level is 350. The rewards are 1x Treasure of Ages and 3x 10 Legendary Marks.
Weekly Nightfall: The Nightfall and its rewards remain the same, with a recommended light level of 380. However, there is a new feature: The Daybreak modifier. When this modifier is active, your abilities (Super, grenade, melee) recharge faster. You can unleash your light in all directions. The emphasis is more on fun and less on challenge. Daybreak is active every 4 weeks. Rainbow strikes – meaning all elemental burn types are active – are also possible again.
Prison of Elders Challenge: Recommended light level 390 (by the way, no matchmaking). There are modifiers and a kill bonus. The rewards are legendary engrams and 3x 10 Legendary Marks per week.
Weekly Raid: Recommended light level 390 (by the way, no matchmaking). Each week features a different raid, and all raid challenges are active. The Crota raid has a Crota challenge and a Deathsinger challenge (during the Witch phase). The rewards include a raid gear set, an unknown reward, and new “Age of Triumph” ornaments.
Interesting: It was mentioned in the stream that starting from July 18, the Daybreak modifier will be active for six consecutive weeks, until the end of August. It is currently speculated that Bungie intends to make everything active during these weeks so you can complete your book of triumphs before Destiny 1 concludes. And as Destiny 1 takes its final bow at the end of August, Destiny 2 is probably not far behind…
