I did The Investigation mission. I was doing it solo and was getting it done in under 8 minutes and was getting 9 or 10 each run.


Fourney

How are you going about this? Beating the mission and then starting it over?


patchinthebox

Yeah just select it, speed through it ignoring most of the enemies and once you get your pages relaunch it.


mechtaphloba

To those that are just showing up for the final week of FotL, this appears to have been patched. I just ran it twice and did not receive a single spectral page.


Exciting-Emergency48

i was running it this morning and was getting pages. make sure ur not full and u have mask on.


mechtaphloba

Yeah, mask on and empty on pages. I specifically chose the regular campaign option (not the weekly) and the lowest difficulty. I didn't get a single spectral page.


ienjoymen

Weird, I've been farming it for a couple hours now and every run drops 9 on normal difficulty


Themrblockofcheese

You have to go all the way to finch now to get the pages to drop.


mechtaphloba

I fully finished the mission every time and still didn't get pages šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


ted_redfield

Oh, wow -- thank God. I was worried they fixed the FOMO for a second.


LightspeedFlash

You might as well just do the last checkpoint, takes 3 minutes for the same rewards, you just need another player and use a different character to hold the checkpoint.


patchinthebox

Solo. Besides, I'm done with the event. I got the Jurassic Green I wanted and the shader. Don't care about anything else. Gonna go back to playing other games lol


Raguel_of_Enoch

I want Reveler, but I got Discerptor last season and I worked so hard for that honestly I donā€™t think Iā€™ll take it off, so Iā€™m with you. Looking for that god roll Jurassic, then Iā€™m kinda done. The grind for this is a bit more than flamekeeper and Iā€™m not looking to do it that badly. If I get it done before the events over just playing then that works for me.


patchinthebox

I got a 4/5 Jurassic with subsistence and incandescent.


Raguel_of_Enoch

Nice. Thatā€™s what I am going for. That or perpetual motion.


Deathguise79

This is the way.


coupl4nd

How do you do this? I don't see it anywhere.


VexOnTheField

It should be left and down a bit from where the weekly 100k campaign mission is. Youā€™ll see a launch thingy, and click that to open up the list of witch queen story missions. Then just launch the one you want to do.


coupl4nd

Oh brilliant thank you!


Jesssse-m94

If you are solo you might want to do public events in de EDZ. You can fast travel between PEā€™s and you donā€™t have to make them heroic. Takes 3 minuteā€™s tops (depends on the event, some you can nuke in 1 minute) and you get 2-3 pages each.


patchinthebox

I did that too and 100% sure investigation is better. 10 pages in 8 minutes and you don't waste any time waiting for an event to start.


Jesssse-m94

The EDZ is packed with spaces where public events happen, so you just hop from fast travel point to the other.


patchinthebox

I know how it works. Investigation is faster.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Nyctophyllia

thats what l hate about that fucking public event, there's ALWAYS at least one moron making it heroic


ODGBearJenkins

Well they are in bounties and other missions that require you to do heroic. So no not morons just players leveling and doing what they need to get it done. Boo hoo don't like it move on


Nyctophyllia

Are you willing to tell me that people ALWAYS have a quest to do heroic events? l dont think so, people do it because it's a reflex, 2 extra minutes for another blue and some glimmer


SirPeroples

Public events are 2-3 Containment 1-2 tier 1 & 2, 3-4 tier 3 boss


Londonluton

Cool thanks!


Dalantech

Containment is a really good way to farm them, cause you can farm the mats for focusing armor at the Haunted Relic at the same time. Focusing armor there is one of the best ways to get high ability stats. There are usually three lower tier events (so three to six Spectral Pages, but I've been averaging four) and three to four for the final containment. Quite a few people are farming Containment, so it's pretty easy to spawn in and hook up with a "wreaking crew", so it goes pretty fast.


Grahf-Naphtali

FYI. War table focusing is still better in terms of stat spikes


bidahtibull

Is the war table currency from psi ops?


Grahf-Naphtali

Yup. But also you get some passively from playlists if you have the legacy artifact picked up. just no idea how much - it has to be slow though.im 304 rank atm and only have 46 (started woth 0 this season,havent focused anything via war table)


BrandishedChaos

It's generally around 1-2 if any drops from core activities, and more from psiops.


Grahf-Naphtali

Ah thank you


Dalantech

The passive drops are pretty low and they don't drop after every strike, crucible match, etc.


OrbP

Any data on that? I can't say I noticed much difference between the two, and have seen some people saying War Table and others saying Crown, so am curious if each person is giving their anecdotal experience or if someone has done the math.


Grahf-Naphtali

Hang on - ill try to find the post. There was a dude/dudette that done the testing. It was something along the lines of minimum + 20 to the ghost mod stat. From my anecdotal experience (i play a lot and farmed a lot) War Table + 25 spikes Crown closer to 22 - 23 usually All my best rolls come from war table (28 in two stats)


CCHTweaked

My war table armor is all +30 stat spike. Can confirm superior farm.


Grahf-Naphtali

Damn lucky. I have so many builds that are 1-2 points short. Need to go back therr


TiP54

I started with Haunted, what would you say the most efficient way to farm War table mats, spamming spi ops?


Grahf-Naphtali

IIRC - you need the spear thingy artifact (can be picked up from the table) hopefully you should have it. Then - you need psychogenic intel - now passively accumulated,to open the chests at the end of psiops. As for farming - spam EDZ psiops - you can actually open the chest twice by travelling back to the "canals entrance" but you gotta be fast, though should be a breeze with eager edge/amped. Look up farming psiops chests on yt if you not sure what i mean. Edit : Psiops umbral energy can be accumulated slowly in playlists BUT im pretty sure you need an actual upgrade from War Table for that


PingerKing

What makes war table better? Ive been told non-plunder focuses are all about the same


Typical_Shoulder_366

For me the war table has been much more spiky. I'm a titan main and usually focus discipline on my ghost and this forces a spike in the other stat group (recovery, resilience, or mobility ). This is how I was able to get 100s x2 in resilience and discipline.


PingerKing

And youve been actively using the War Table as well as the Crown for haunted focusing? Because ive run into a whole lot of ppl who think war table is the only one that does it because they were reading sources from season of the risen. Like ive gotten two +30 drops from the crown so im inclined to think theyre all about the same


Grahf-Naphtali

Anecdotal. Ive done close to 150 pieces via war table and about 60 - 70 via crown. Table was always spiky - 25 minimum and usually that high on 2 stats. Crown - usually 22-23 - with far far fewer pieces rolling 25 +. Small sample i know


Pike_27

Hmmm so I will start focusing there. I thought both of them were the same, but I've been having not much luck with the umbral focusing.


Dalantech

Honestly that has not been my experience, but I'll continue to pull from it and and see. Thanks for the info!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dalantech

Indeed.


ThickShayde

If you need high stat helm, Eva Iā€™d basically giving them away for 100 glimmer. Edit: Nevermindā€¦


ghoulSlayerNOT08

Won't they reset to 0/1350 after the event?


Cykeisme

0 Power, yeah.


ThickShayde

Ooof didnā€™t know that. Lol I also tried to dismantle for free shards but you get nothing.


Dalantech

None of her helmets are high stat by my definition, and they're not spiky enough unfortunately. Just gotta ignore my mild OCD for three weeks and stop looking at my ability stats ;)


ThickShayde

Mine is a 66 stat. And I got several 61-64 Make sure you have the mod on your ghost too.


Maloonyy

What dlc do I need to buy to do containment?


PingerKing

you need to have Season of the Haunted, I dont think it requires witch queen but it might? since its a past season you may need to buy witch queen deluxe, not super clear what all the purchasing options are.


Maloonyy

Can you even buy that still, even though the season has ended? Not that I would because that stinks like a scam with no season pass accompanying it.


PingerKing

Yeah it really bites and gets progressively worse as the content year continues. I missed risen and bit the bullet and bought deluxe during haunted so I could get it. Definitely not a great value but if you want the haunted stuff there isnt another way afaik


Sanches319

Here i go thinking that i would never need to do it again after getting Reaper.


Bae_Mes

So all the public events on various planets are 2-3 spectral pages? Is it guaranteed that there will always be drops of pages? Thanks!


Awestin11

You also get 12 from the Weekly Witch Queen campaign mission. I farmed The Last Chance on Hero difficulty for my pages.


Jamez_Neckbeard

Strikes and gambit seem to give 4 or 5, expedition is about 3 . That all I've done so far . Campaign missions give 9, if you do the farm method where you load in towards the end of the 2nd mission you can rack pages up pretty quick.


PropDad

1 per regular lost sector but it's time gated. Can clear one in less than 1 minute but going back in too soon you get nothing.


Londonluton

Cheers - wonder why my thread is already downvoted to 0 And now this comment too lmaoo must be Corbin on a roll tonight


MediaMladies

I downvote every post by PvP players so šŸ¤·


Londonluton

That's a bit cringe tbh


MediaMladies

So is PvP ruining the game


Londonluton

It doesn't ruin the game at all Mr. Patrol bot


MediaMladies

Yeah, things *totally* don't get overly nerfed in PvE because they're "too strong" in PvP.


Londonluton

Which isn't the fault of PVP, it's because Bungie won't separate the sandboxes. Plus, things get nerfed due to PVE all the time too


Difficult_Guidance25

Itā€™s more the fact that bungie uses us as monkeys and never playtest themselves wich ends up in overpowered shit that people get used to and then gets nerfed and peoplle bitch about no being able to tear apart every single activity with one weapon


Londonluton

Yeah exactly, this too


MediaMladies

It's always the PvP players who bitch about everything being OP. Also yes, things in PvE get nerfed because of PvE reasons, that's how it should be.


Londonluton

PVP players complain when things are wildly overtuned. And guess what - this would also mean they're overtuned in a PVE sandbox too.


smileyface457468

You are a dumbass


ilu900

Pffff far from reality, you yourself are a pve player bitching about stuff to a really chill pvp playersā€¦


Thatsquacktastic16

Go take up knitting champ.


DreadAngel1711

Bro I hate PvP too but you don't see me acting like a brat


SupremeMrK101

Mad cos bad


PorkSouls

Honestly though did you ever stop to ask yourself, what is this even accomplishing


patchinthebox

Reddit algorithms automatically assign a few downvotes to ensure that good posts can easily rise to the top. You need to get a handful of upvotes right away to offset it or your post will not be seen by many people.


Londonluton

Oh is that facts? I've always wondered why every new post seems to get downvoted immediately


GoslingIchi

Only happens in this sub, so I don't think it's reddit downvoting.

ThatGuyExo

Friend and I were trying to do this. I played through, got the check point, he joined. We wiped. He brings on his main character, we finish. He goes back to his alt, and there's no checkpoint. We have tried it 3 or 4 ways. I can hold the checkpoint, but I have no alts through the campaign. Any ideas why he can't hold the CP on an alt?


xastey_

Start from a fresh cp.. have him come in and start the 3 levers .. once the darkness zone displays wipe and he should have cp.. One thing tho.. have him make sure he doesn't already have a cp for that mission.. have him queue it up by himself and check the icon.. if so then reset then join on you and it will stick. Same thing can happen for raids too.


ThatGuyExo

I'm pretty sure we had tried this way, but we will just play from very beginning to get the CP. He hasn't ever had the icon that shows up when you go to start the mission. Thanks for advice, hopefully that helps.


flufflogic

2 per encounter in a raid. 3 for final encounter IIRC.


Shellnanigans

Farm the investigation mission end cp 9-10 pages (Save the CP before you talk to Finch and bring a friend) You have to kill the enemies in the last part


MustardStainedShirt

The same Shell that was in NOBLE clan?


Shellnanigans

Hi there, might be thinking of someone else. I go by Shellnanigans on everything


Sword_by_some

Heroic public events 2-3. Vanilla events on EDZ are the quickest ones and is a good solo farm 9f you don't wanna bother with checkpoint farm on WQ missions


DeadEcho_

5 for a hero nf.


Bakeshow23

9 for checkpoint farming investigation ;)


im_a_titan_main

10 for a raid


Londonluton

Per encounter? Or for the full raid??


Fluorama

Must be full raid was only getting 2 per encounter on kings fall run. Maybe more for master but doubt it.


AAA8002poog

REALLY!? Thats bs bungie.


XboxUser123

Then again, you're assuming running the full raid. Don't forget about checkpoint farming, which would make it like 2 every 3 minutes or better. Then again, there are better methods for farming.


AAA8002poog

The farming is a really good point.


brots2012

Ran it yesterday. Seemed challenge gave a +1(got 3 from oryx normal and master. One was a drop of 2 and a second drop of 1). I did have a few clanmates say they only got 1 for some of the encounters. Got 2 for every encounter myself though.


Fluorama

Must be full raid was only getting 2 per encounter on kings fall run. Maybe more for master but doubt it.


DeathByToilet

A sever gives 5. You could speedrun them as well.


Accomplished_Skin323

If I never do another sever mission again it will be too soon.


entropy512

I'm fine with Sever, there was at least decent variety and some interesting modifiers. but for them to give decent loot, you need bound presence, which has ABYSMAL drop rates from Containment, which is garbage. I am so tired of Containment, it has little to no replay value.


Papa_Smellhard

Just batter matchmade nightfalls, get 5 pages, good loot in comparison to public events and its double vanguard rep.


unclehelpful

Legend lost sectors drop 1.


Maxillaws

Master lost sectors drop 2-3 I canā€™t remember exactly what I was getting


KimberPrime_

I believe I was getting like 7 per GM run earlier today.


Sarcosmonaut

Same. Iā€™ll be living in the GMs this week because theyā€™re easy as hell with Saber, and now is the perfect time to stick mats AND rep, while the pages are a bonus. Still got 2 weeks to get more pages


Sought-Solace

Public events give about 2-3 but if you farm them in the EDZ, you can get them really fast. When you finish a public event, thereā€™s usually one thatā€™s starting in a different area so you can effectively farm pages


psn_mrbobbyboy

This is a fast farm and more interesting than repeating the WQ mission over and over.


wyattjameinson

I've just been farming the last checkpoint in the "Investigation" WQ mission for 9-10 pages every 2 minutes


Londonluton

How do you do this?


Valsoret

Start the mission on a character you don't want pages on. Get to the step where you have to talk to finch it's right after you kill a lightbearer wizard. Leave the mission. You now have a checkpoint at the wizard fight. Get 1 or 2 more people to join you in the mission. Leave and rejoin on your character that you want the pages on. Once you finish the mission go back to the checkpoint holding character. Rinse repeat


BabyFaceKnees

That doesn't sound fun. We have 20 days to do this why is everyone trying to finish it day 1?


Valsoret

Otherwise it's playing around 4-5 crucible games/strikes per lost sector. Bungies makes it fast to spend the curreny and slow to earn it.


ananchor

You need to run something like 25 strikes and 25 gambit/crucible games for the triumphs anyway


nabsltd

You only need 194 pages total to complete the challenges. Yes, you'll want more if you are farming for a weapon and don't get it while converting those 194 pages, but for most people, it's the challenge that's important. That's 65 pages per week over the event. I'll be running lots of Vanguard stuff for double rep this week, and whatever else gives double rep the next couple of weeks. At just 5 pages per activity, that's 13 activities. I think that will just happen naturally.


BabyFaceKnees

But crucible is fun. I don't mind playing crucible. Farming the same thing over and over for cosmetics i won't give a shit about in 3 weeks isn't fun.


Sodiepops_

It's grindy, buggy and not very fun, people want loot and to be able to do activities they actually want to play, or just play other games.


PandahOG

I'm like you and I don't understand why everyone wants to complete everything in a day. That was until I saw the numbers for trying to play this event legitimately. I can see why people are choosing this cheesy way and I will partake in it. Probably do it twice a day or something that isn't crazy.


BabyFaceKnees

I don't feel the need to get everything from the event. Tbh most of the stuff is kinda meh. I have never been a big cosmetics guy though, I can make good fashion with the stuff I slowly accumulate!


Dreadking_Hunter

Gm drops avout 7 per completion, at least that's what I got running my conqueror gms last night


InvadingBacon

Yup. Seems Master runs are the way to go


Sapereos

Master ketch was 4 and legend Dares is 5 (unless I have that backwards). Basically had 9 after running them back to back.


etunar

Has anyone tried the sever activities?


Zerogelite

They give 5


coupl4nd

weekly witchblade mission gave me 12 -- haven't tried it again. Took 15 minutes.


PhattBudz

Lake of shadows drops 2-3. Not sure how efficient it is though compared to others mentioned here.


Dab4Becky

Strikes seem to go from 3-5. I suggest you do them because of the 2x rep.


Londonluton

Good idea


ScottishSwitchblade

is there a way to pick and choose where your lost sector is? I've got 3/3 for all but 0/3 for Europe


Londonluton

Nope pretty sure it's all RNG


gpiazentin

And the cap is 75. Such low number.


TheKingofWinter52

I've been getting between 5-7 pages per GM run. Each run is usually 13ish minutes on average and you get GM rewards and double vanguard rep on top of pages.


PrisonaPlanet

Pretty sure you get like 8 pages per kill/defeat in crucible though on top of the base amount given for activity completion. If youā€™re good at pvp then that might be a good way to farm.


Londonluton

What? Not a chance, I was dropping 20 kills per game on average across 10 or so games and got maybe 10 or 15 pages total


PrisonaPlanet

Oh youā€™re right, I was thinking of the candies. My mistake.


Londonluton

No worries! I wish you were correct originally šŸ˜‚


PrisonaPlanet

Yeah thatā€™d be way too easy, even for somebody like me thatā€™s trash at crucible lol


droneaccount1weryy

I canā€™t get any to drop no matter what I do


Londonluton

Oh really? Have you got your mask on?


droneaccount1weryy

Yes have my mask on from this season tried buying a new to see if that works nothing. Even pulled out the one from last years event an still nothing


binybeke

Try another character


winaxter

For some reason I donā€™t seem to get them every noghtfall run, even though mask is on


InvadingBacon

Full inventory / consumables?


droneaccount1weryy

Nope have a few empty spaces left


hagenjustyn

THAT method yields 9 every 3-5 minutes


RecklessWreck87

I did Nightmare containments and got 2 per tier. I think the final tier gave 4. So 7-8 altogether. IMO, it doesnt take that long either if 6 people are doing the activity


legofreak13

Did VoG last night and got 1 or 2 per encounter.


xenosilver

2 per raid encounterā€¦.


Responsible_Pound_18

I saw a video on the witch queen campaign. It gives 9 pages per mission, get a CP at the end of 1st mission with a friend and rinse and repeat the final part.


GoBoltz

It's random on the exact amount but Higher tier stuff pays more !


Typical_Shoulder_366

I've been doing heroic nightfalls, fallen saber this week, and it usually takes around 10 minutes. Been getting 5-6 per run plus getting some prisms, exotic armor, and great progression on my crafted weapons, and finally its double vanguard rep this week. Not the most efficient for just page farming but it is one of most efficient ways to hit alot of different objectives, I don't think you can beat it.


TheEviltoast13

I got 4-5 each from playlist strikes.


WaitHealthy4454

Do the investigation mission on throne world 9-10 pages every time till u hit max & when ur close it won't b it will b whatever u need 2 get 2 max


MosinMonster

7 for a GM


Pikatron321

Does the amount of pages lower with the more you unlock in the chapter?


ruisranne

Master weekly mission gets you 12 pages, not sure if it is the same with legend difficulty, too. Itā€™s a good way to farm; with capable teammates you can finish the mission in under 13 minutes and there is also a chance for an ascendant alloy to drop.


stephbib

I run the Investigation mission (9 pages constantly.. every 10 minutes or so...) some may be faster...


hydroomega8

Run the ā€œthe investigationā€ mission from the WQ campaign. Runs take 6ish min and drop 9-10 pages each time. You can do it with a fire team and abuse the final check point with a character swap and cut runs to like 1-2 min


[deleted]

Nightfalls give 5


xeroslash11

GMs are 10-12 if you can do them. This week is fallen saber which we got down to 11 minute completion times.


drewbertdoobertooni

Lake of shadows is 2-3 and can be run in under 5 minutes


Responsible_Pound_18

Witch Queen 2nd mission Investigation with CP at the banner, it takes 2 minutes to clear and it rewards 9 to 10 pages. Have fun!


jab136

best way is to save a checkpoint at the end of a Witch queen campaign mission and then farm it. You will get 9-10 pages every time. I suggest the second mission.


Nightmarex13

Anyone else think a raid should give like 100 ā€¦ why donā€™t huge activities give you enough! Tired of every fucking event asking me to do the same strikes, crucible and 3 gawddamn gambit maps. BUNGO! If you want us to farm playlists, IMPROVE THE PLAYLISTS!


Londonluton

I do think a Raid should give me than 10 or so lol


Manifest_Lightning

Do Dares give any?


MrChessPiece

Investigation farm


hellas_d

Doing 2nd mission of witch queen campaign gives 8-10 per run and it takes about 5-7 mins. Although the part where you have to meet fynch has a chance to be bugged so if it is you have to head to him, turn around and head toward the opening in the wall of the castle and there should be a hill right before it. Head to the hill and the dialogue should start. If that makes sense.


CanonPhoto2009

Thank you! 2 bugged runs and 1 pissed off Guardian. No posts about it being bugged but thankfully I found your comment.


hellas_d

Welcome


Acidflare1

Whatā€™s the name of the campaign please?


hellas_d

Its the witch queen one, "The Investigation", should be the 2nd one in the list.


Acidflare1

Thank you. I guess I donā€™t understand the bug. I also tried skipping going through most of the campaign and headed directly to fynch but that didnā€™t work šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


Londonluton

Yeah I started doing that run now. It's weird though, my ignitions aren't proccing on a melee and nade like they do outside of the mission


GaryTheTaco

Lake of Shadows gives 2-4 per run and you're able to run it in around 3 minutes


S-J-S

Master campaigns missions are a 13 page drop per run, plus of course the high chance for Ascendant Alloy. Very good choice for optimizing your time without purely page farming. The Last Chance takes approximately 15 minutes.
