In Destiny, there is an effective way to obtain artifacts above 365 light level.
Since the launch of “Rise of Iron”, the new maximum light level is 385. In the future, when the hard mode of the raid is unlocked, the cap is expected to be 400. However, Guardians can already obtain items that are over 385; a prominent example is the Raid pulse rifle Outbreak Prime at 390.
How you can efficiently reach the maximum light level, we have already presented in the provided link. However, many Guardians are currently struggling to obtain high-quality artifacts. Therefore, we now provide tips on how to specifically obtain artifacts up to 385 light level.
350 is not hard, but 385 is very
Obtaining an artifact at light level 350 is not a complicated task. Tyra Karn has an “Iron Lord” artifact available for you each week, if you complete a quest for her. This item is at 350. But how do you get higher?
Up to light level 365, artifacts can drop from legendary engrams. However, it’s also a matter of luck. After that, there are not many options to obtain artifacts up to 385.
A possible way is the skeleton keys and the strike treasures: These chests can contain artifacts that go up to 385. However, it is quite labor-intensive and luck-based to even obtain the necessary skeleton keys, so this method is not suitable for farming.
Additionally, there are user reports that artifacts can also drop in the raid “Wrath of the Machine”. However, repeatedly playing this raid to obtain artifacts is also not particularly efficient and targeted.
The currently best farming method is called Eris Morn. Because with this vendor in the Tower, you receive a guaranteed artifact when you rank up! This can go up to light level 385, like all items from faction reward packages. So, make yourself popular with Eris to get the desired items. But how can you do this particularly quickly? After all, a rank-up requires 3000 experience!
This is how you climb in the reputation of Eris Morn
The YouTuber Venero TV provides you with tips in the video on how to increase your reputation:
- One option: Using runes in the Court of Oryx and mastering the battles. You gain reputation for this, but not too much.
- Bounties from Eris Morn:

- For some Guardians, there is still a good option: Go to the Strike Hall, turn right, and head to the kiosk where you can access abandoned quests. If you haven’t completed the quest line yet, “Darkness Looms” is waiting for you there. The individual steps grant you reputation with the good Eris. Before you complete the quest line with Omnigul, you can delete it and pick it up again from the kiosk. This way, you can quickly complete the missions again and gain reputation.
- By the way, there is still one way if you have an abundance of items: Through item donations. Currently, Eris Morn is asking for Worm Spores from you. For 25 of them, you get 50 reputation. That’s not a lot, but you might be able to scrape together the last reputation points this way.
What tips do you have up your sleeve?
