This week at Bungie, we make way for the Iron Lord.<\/p>\n

We have begun to see Shadows lurking about this season. Many of you have been diligently knocking out every challenge and Triumph for Season of Opulence. Most of us still have a good backlog of Triumphs to complete and items to collect. Someone pointed out that this was the first week of Season of Opulence in which there wasn\u2019t something new to do. Consider this week a chance for you to catch your breath if you have Triumphs and pursuits stacking up. If you\u2019re already looking for more challenges, Solstice of Heroes will heap more of them onto your plate. You\u2019ll find more details on the upcoming event next week.<\/p>\n

Cry Wolf<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s time to let the wolves howl again. Saladin will raise his banners next week when he returns to the Tower on July 23. He brings with him an invitation to a powerful fight and accelerated Valor gains.<\/p>\n

Iron Banner and Increased Valor
<\/b>Start: 10 AM PDT on July 23
<\/b>End: 10 AM PDT on July 30<\/b><\/h3>\n
This competitive event will allow you to advance any Iron Banner quest steps you didn\u2019t finish earlier in the season. If you missed the first Iron Banner of Opulence, this is your chance to kick off the quest and earn that singular gear. Full details on how Iron Banner is being run this season are documented here<\/a>. We did get some feedback on this quest and have some changes lined up, but they didn\u2019t make it in time for this Iron Banner. We\u2019ll give you the details before the next one starts up.<\/div>\n
This will be the last Iron Banner before we deploy an update to Lord of Wolves. As Luke mentioned last month<\/a>, anyone who plays during these two Iron Banners will receive a special Triumph and emblem to commemorate that you were there when the wolves ran wild.<\/div>\n

A Guardian Always Pays Their Debts<\/h2>\n

As part of Season of Opulence, Guardians are paying homage to their previous adventures to earn awesome rewards. Some of us leveraged an exploit in the Tribute Hall, taking advantage of Calus\u2019s generosity with some clever character-switching shenanigans to place that free tribute over and over and over\u2026 you get it. This allowed some players to skip the tribute experience entirely, making other players who had done bounties and pledged large amounts of their resource reserves feel a little irked.<\/p>\n

We will be fixing this glitch on July 30 as we kick off Solstice of Heroes. As you all know, it not our policy to punish players who discover cheeses, loot caves, or workarounds in the game. If you took advantage of this short cut, you can rest easy. You won\u2019t be marched in front of Calus for sentencing. However, you will not be able to keep using all of your ill-gotten rewards until you square up things with Calus. <\/p>\n

The \u201cTributes Placed\u201d total will now accurately reflect individual tributes placed on your accounts. If you used the exploit, this number will be updated to properly reflect the total number of tributes you\u2019ve actually placed. The activation and equipping of both the Bad Juju catalyst and \u201cX Marks the Spot\u201d emotes are also gated by your total number of tributes placed. Bad Juju will not require you to have 18 tributes placed for it to be used. If you cheesed your way to the catalyst or emote, you have some time to start placing legit tributes before July 30.<\/p>\n

Tribute Hall Triumphs\u2014Exotic Weapons<\/h3>\n
In last week\u2019s blog<\/a>, we clarified which weapons and armor from the Menagerie contribute to Tribute Hall Triumphs. This week, we\u2019d like to clarify which Exotic weapons provide bonus progress.<\/div>\n

These Exotic weapons include:<\/p>\n

Players should be aware that Truth<\/a> does not count toward these Triumphs, and neither does the quest version of Legend of Acrius.<\/div>\n

This version of Legend of Acrius can be identified by having no catalyst socket or ornament slot, having only a single round in its magazine, and having the \u201cShock Blast\u201d intrinsic perk. Players with this version of Acrius can upgrade it by completing the Exotic quest that begins with \u201cOn the Comms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vital Information: 22\/24 Moments of Triumph<\/b><\/h3>\n

With the recent rollout of the 2019 Moments of Triumph, we\u2019d like to clarify a point of confusion which has emerged among players.<\/p>\n

Currently, players can complete only 22 of the 24 total Moments of Triumph. The final two Triumphs will become available with the launch of Solstice of Heroes on July 30, 2019. In the meantime, players will be unable to complete this seal and earn the \u201cMMXIX\u201d title.<\/p>\n
