Destiny Daily 10/29/14: Daily Bounties, Daily Heroic Mission

Welcome back, Guardians! Yesterday I solo’d the Weekly Heroic (for nine strange coins, and also three blue engrams at the reward screen) and the Nightfall. My reward for the Nightfall was a legendary primary engram, and I was happy with that. Then it decrypted into two Shards. Not what I was hoping for, but eh those are always nice to have.

For those wondering, the Jackolyte consumable just gives you a really cool pumpkin head for 30 minutes with some nice background noise (screams, laughs, etc.) and a nice visual effect when doing a melee. If it has any other purpose, I haven’t seen it.

Here are the bounties for 10/29:

Vanguard Bounties

BOUNTY	DESCRIPTION	+ REP / + EXP
Relic Harvest – Venus	Collect 200 Pumice Threads on Venus.	+50 / +2,500
It’s All in the Head	Kill 100 enemies with precision damage.	+50 / +2,500
Fallen Leaders	Kill 10 Fallen Majors or Ultras.	+100 / +5,000
Cleansing Light	Kill 3 or more enemies with a single super use, 20 times.	+50 / +2,500
The Bigger They Are	Complete a Weekly Heroic or Nightfall Strike.	+100 / +5,000
Patrol Venus	Complete 6 Patrol missions on Venus.	+50 / +2,500

Getting real tired of that “The Bigger They Are” bounty coming out on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s, instead of Tuesday. Sure as hell isn’t worth running through a third time for a measly 100 Rep and 5000 XP.

Daily Heroic Mission: The Garden’s Spire

Location: Meridian Bay, Mars

Description:

• Seize control of the Black Garden Spire held behind the wall of the Cabal Warbase and wake the Gate Lord’s Eye.

Modifiers:

• HEROIC – Enemies appear in greater numbers and are more aggressive.
• ANGRY – Minions of the Darkness won’t flinch, even after massive damage.

Rewards:

• Cryptarch Engram
• Vanguard Marks +5
• +4800 XP (lvl 20) l +6000 XP (lvl 24) l +7500 XP (lvl 28)
• Ascendant Material (lvl 24) l 2 Ascendant Materials (lvl 28)

You won’t have too much problem with this one. The biggest thing here is the Angry modifier, which means that the Phalanx won’t come out from behind their shields when you shoot their hand/arm. So you’re not going to be able to get that easy headshot on them, and instead are going to have to hit a small area a few times.

That’s going to wrap us up today Guardians. There may or may not be a live stream of the Daily Heroic, but the player is included below just in case. Of course if you follow us on Twitch you can an email of when we go live.

Did you get anything for completing the Nightfall? Let me know in the comments below.
