Book Rewards

Level Reward More Info
2 Signet of Speed Emblem
3 3x SRL Champion's Ornament
4 Hoarfrost Shader
5 Amanda's Tag
6 Good Game Emote
7 Xur's Tag Unlocks Songs of the Void
8 EV-31 Nightbird Sparrow
9 Saladin's Tag
10 Dawn's Return Shader

The ‘Tags’ (Amanda, Xur, Saladin) are used to open up the BIG GIFTS which are found at the entrance of the old Iron Banner location in the Tower (Just behind the Bounty Robot) Saladin and Amanda Gift Boxes may be opened at any time after receiving their Tags from the Competitive Spirit Record Book, the Xûr Gift Box may only be opened after Xûr has appeared in either the Tower or the Vestian Outpost.

PLEASE NOTE - It would appear that the Xur Gift can be opened AT ANY point after receiving the Tag. A very happy Glitch it seems

Strike Scoring

As well as the introduction of revamped strikes, we will also see Strike Scoring make an appearance. This will include Point scoring and the awarding of Medals for meeting certain feats such as Killing Sprees and certain weapon combos

Functioning similarly to Prison of Elders scoring, Strike scoring gives you a chance to earn rewards and challenge leader boards

Players can also earn reputation in a new Strike scoring for the Vanguard headed up by Zavala, who will also offer bounties.

It also should be noted reports suggesting Zavala will also hold Nightfall Bounties and this is a route to obtaining the Ice Breaker – This also suggests Ice Breaker is NOT obtainable through 3oC

Returning Strikes:

New Strike Specific Loot confirmed to be included within the new Strikes

Breaking The Ice

Along with the update we will see the introduction of NEW Exotics and a return of an old friend:

Along with the Weapons we have the introduction of new Weapon Ornaments to obtain:

Quality of Life Changes

  • Brother Vance will now offer Passage Coins in exchange for Motes of Light.
  • The Gunsmith will now re-sell the Stillpiercer, Immobius, or Susanoo. You can repurchase these weapons from him for Legendary Marks.
  • Skeleton Keys drop rates have been slightly increased in the SIVA Crisis playlist, SIVA Crisis Heroic playlist, and weekly Nightfall
  • Players will now receive a Skeleton Key for their first account Nightfall clear per week (So NOT 1 per character)
  • The Student of History Trophy/Achievement or Sigil of the Young Wolf Emblem for attuning all of the Rise of Iron Artifacts glitch has now been resolved (Yet unknown how this will resolve - Will emblem auto award or be in kiosk? Same for the Achievement / Trophy)
  • Players will receive free gifts during each week of The Dawning event, which can be collected from the Postmaster. Confirmation Required - Yes there are daily gifts (Confirmed here) BUT there are reports of 'Weekly Rewards' from the Postmaster. I am now wondering if we get a 'Daily Gift' and a 'Weekly Treasure', the 'Weekly Treasure' being what you would buy from Eververse, the 'Daily gifts' being different entirely in loot and what we get everyday - I'm still looking to confirm - The Daily Gifts will be the Presents we have seen
  • Green Engrams will AUTOMATICALLY dismantle into Weapon Parts and Armor Materials (Confirmed to be triggered once you hit Level 40)
  • Eververse will be selling ‘The Dawning’ Treasure boxes which will contain cosmetic items and a new armor set ONLY available through the boxes
  • Ornament Kiosk to be added and SPECIFIC Ornaments can be purchased and saved in the Kiosk for future use (No confirmation if this Included Bad Juju which you can only obtain from Radiant Treasures for now)
  • Ornaments will be able to be purchased SPECIFICALLY and will not be locked behind RNG in Treasure Boxes
  • Xur will stop selling ornaments. The kiosk will sell all past event ornaments for 25 silver per. The price will not change regardless of you having obtained the ornament or not. Xur will stop selling ornaments due to this.
  • Skeleton Key Drop Rates are to be INCREASED

Unconfirmed

  • Will Grasp of Malok drop from the return of Omnigul?
  • Currently unknown what the criterea for Auto Dismantling Green Engrams - CONFIRMED Level 40 triggers autodismantle
  • Ornament Kiosk - Will previously / Currently obtained or applied Ornaments already be unlocked?
  • Firelord / Voidlord will be behind an Exotic Quest - Any details?
  • Nothing to suggest Light Level will be increased
  • No details to suggest Weapon Balance update will be arriving
