How to Farm Dawning Ingredients in Destiny 2

The Dawning event is back in Destiny 2, and as always, players can bake cookies for their favorite characters to earn free rewards. If you want to get all the Dawning rewards this year, you’ll need to stock up on the right ingredients.

The Dawning doesn’t have a unique event playlist or anything like that, so you’ll be able to farm ingredients just by playing the game normally. Certain recipes call for specific ingredients, though, and some of their names aren’t super helpful in hinting where to find them.

How to Farm Dawning Essence

While you can get Dawning Essence by completing any activity in Destiny 2, the fastest way to obtain it is by completing Lost Sectors on Legend difficulty. You’ll get 15 Dawning Essence per run, which is enough to bake a cookie (or more than enough if you have a masterworked oven). You don’t have to run these solo unless you want the Exotic rewards, either, so you can grind with a fireteam of friends to make things easier.

The Crucible is also a quick way to earn Dawning Essence if you can put up with the frustration of Destiny’s PVP. Completing matches will net you a nice chunk of Dawning Essence. No matter which method you choose, however, make sure to pick up Dawning bounties from Eva Levante in the Tower for additional rewards.
