I have created this blog, because i have a passion for the game Destiny. If you know of it and play it, you know that the game is absolutely amazing! So far, the game has been everything i expected out of Bungie. Being a big fan of the Halo series, i had high expectations for the story and game play for Destiny, and its even better than i imagined!
My goals for the site
With so many websites dedicated to the content of the game, my only goal is to bring you the latest updates, tips, hints and tricks for getting the most out of your play time.
Your first tip
Your first tip for the game;
GO TO THE LOOT CAVE!!!
Now there are plenty of videos on Youtube and Reddit that explain where you need to go to get in on this before (and if) Bungie patches it out. But just in case you are not aware of what exactly the Loot Cave is, ill explain it.
What is it?
The Loot Cave (Also known as the "Treasure Cave" or "Murder Cave") is a cave in the Old Russia portion of Earth. They call it such, because it is an easy route to getting gear and glimmer in the game. The cave spawns up to six Hive beings at once, every 10 seconds or so, if you kill them in the cave quick enough. They will continue to spawn over and over if you kill them before they leave the cave. This has not been addressed by Bungie as an exploit or a glitch. Until it is, it is safe to continually farm this spot without getting banned or in any type of trouble.
When should i go there?
Once you are level 20 or above, you have a chance to get Legendary Engrams from anything you kill in the game. You also have the chance to get Uncommon Engrams and Rare Engrams more so. I would not suggest farming this cave until you are 20+, as it will not be as rewarding since you cannot get Legendary Engrams until you are 20+.
What kind of loot will i get, and how much of it?
There have been a few people who have done the statistics on what you will get. As for the when, i do not have statistics on that. I know it is based off of RNG (Random Number Generator), so getting a Legendary Engram is much less likely than getting an Uncommon Engram. Usually when i hit the cave, i stay for about three to four hours. RNG has been good to me so far, and i have usually picked up 1 or 2 Legendary Engrams, 10+ Rare Engrams, and 30+ Uncommon Engrams. This is by far the best way to farm items if that's what you need.
What will i do once i have these "Engrams"?
Once you have obtained Engrams, you will need to take them to the Cryptarch. The Cryptarch is located in The Tower, just to the right and forward of where you spawn after choosing to go to The Tower. He is standing by a small booth awaiting you. If you have at least 1 Engram in your inventory, he will have a green diamond with an exclaimation point in it above his head. When you first talk to him, he will have a turn in for any engrams you currently have. Now the fun starts. Each Engram CAN contain certain things. It i not guarunteed that you will get the rarity you want from it. A recent Reddit post by GrievouzOCE explains the chance of what you will get in each engram. He did some decrypting, and his results are below.
Essentially, what you need to understand is that if you get a Legendary Engram (listed above as "Purple Engram"), it does not mean that when the Cryptarch Decrypts them there will be a Legendary item inside of it. It just has a higher chance to have one. This can be frustrating at times, but overall farming the Engrams is worth every second.
Alright, this sounds awesome. How do i get there?
The easiest way to get to this spot is by going to the "Patrol Cosmodrome" mission on Earth. You then follow the path ahead of you up to the big building with the satellite on top of it. There will be a large opening with two Dreg's and one Captain standing guard. You can run past these guys, and head into the building. You will then follow the path inside of the building (There is only one route you can take), and eventually you will come out of the back side of the building. Once you're outside, you can head straight up the path to a rocky area just outside of what looks like a green spaceship. Ahead of you will be the cave in question. Below is a good video explaining how to get there and what you need to do in order to make it all pan out correctly.
And that's it for the Loot Cave! If you have any questions, there is always the Reddit page. They answer a lot on some of the main posts.
Happy farming!
