Destiny 2 Resource & XP Checklist
Learn how to earn XP as fast as possible through bounty and order grinding and how to obtain important resources for levelling and progression.
Let's Prepare!
- This page once served as a pre-season/expansion checklist for new releases.
- With Destiny 2’s final content release, we’ve updated this page to be a go-to for bounty grinding for quick XP gains and how to obtain essential resources such as Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Alloy.

The Bounty Grind
- One of the more effective ways to gain XP as quick as possible is to complete bounties and orders. Bounties offer a range of XP and can be kept for an indefinite amount of time (when completed) unless the bounty states otherwise.
- Orders are quick action items that can be completed by playing any activity, including free roam, and can be completed alongside the bounty grind. These are accessible through the Seasonal Hub. Learn more here.
- Your Quest Inventory can hold up to 63 items, shared by Quests and Bounties. Keep in mind, the more quests you have on your character, the less amount of bounty space you have.
- TL;DR – Complete bounties and orders at the same time for maximum XP gain.
Types of Bounties
Weekly Bounties (12,000 XP)
- Weekly Bounties offer 12,000 XP, excluding any XP bonuses. Sources include:
- The Moon (Eris Morn and the Lectern of Enchantment)
- Both Eris and the Lectern have 2 Weekly Bounties offered every week
- Tip: Slow-Wave Disruption and Nightmare Sojourner can both be completed during the Altars of Sorrow event in Sorrow’s Harbour. Load up on bounties and have at it!
- Europa (Variks)
- Xur’s Treasure Hoard (Starhorse)
- Starhorse and Xur Bounties are staying!
- You can only hold one Starhorse Bounty at a time
- Save this for last. You can still play some Dares and store some Paraverse Haul Boxes (which can provide some decent loot and materials)
- The Moon (Eris Morn and the Lectern of Enchantment)
Daily Bounties (6000 XP)
- Daily Bounties offer 6000 XP, excluding any XP bonuses. Sources include:
- Planetary Vendors (The Moon, Savathûn’s Throne World, Neomuna, The Dreaming City, Europa)
- Lectern of Enchantment
- Xur’s Treasure Hoard (Xur)
Additional Bounties (3000 XP)
- Additional Bounties offer 3000 XP, excluding any XP bonuses. Sources include:
- Planetary Vendors (The Moon, Europa, Savathun’s Throne World, Neomuna)
- Lectern of Enchantment
- Xur’s Treasure Hoard (Xur)
Helpful Apps
Bounty & Order Stacking
- Bounty Stacking is purchasing many bounties with generic objectives that can be completed in a single activity.
- This is the easiest and most efficient way of levelling through your Pass as you would be completing bounties much quicker.
- If you’re doing a grinding session, pick up various planetary bounties and head into an Ops Playlist!
- Check your orders via the Seasonal Hub often and optimize your gear to complete your bounties and orders at the same time.
Tips & Tricks
- Again, we do want to note that Bungie has made it so you can get to Rank 100 by passive gameplay and by completing orders and activities over the course of time.
- But, if you want to get ahead, or if you need XP gains for say – Eververse engrams, the bounty grind is the way to go.
- If you have alternate characters, be sure to complete the Weekly and Dailies before just focusing on Repeatable Bounties.
- Bounty Stack when possible. This is the most time-efficient way of gaining levels fast.
- Running low on glimmer? Visit Rahool in the Tower Courtyard.
- The Moon bounties (especially repeatable bounties) are the easiest to complete and are easy to re-acquire from the respective vendor.
- Visit the Altar of Sorrow for a good amount of enemies to deal with.
- Bounty grinding can be tedious. Putting on a nice music playlist of your favourite tunes can help − and Guardian? Don’t forget to take breaks.
- Editor’s Note: I’m from the days when doing loops around locations for material farming for hours on end in Destiny 1 was a normal thing to do. Music helps!
