Was wondering if Lake of Shadows is still the fastest one to clear? Which ones are you using to farm for like catalysts?
I feel like with how Bungie changed up Lake, I would say it isn’t the fastest anymore. Inverted Spire is pretty fast so maybe that one?
Ohhh, I somehow forgot that one still exists. Have to try that one. Thanks for the tip.
Just tested the Inverted Spire and did a clear in 10 mins with a random team. Solo or with a Clan, there is definitely room for improvement.
Is that the strike with the floor that falls out beneath you? If so I know I’ve cleared that pretty quick.
Yep, exactly that one.
If I remember correctly, some catalysts only drop from the strike playlist, meaning you have to go into the Vanguard Ops section and you aren’t able to target farm a particular strike.
Is there a source somewhere on this that you know of? I’ve had the Prometheus Lens for forever and have never seen the catalyst. I feel like most of mine have come from control or trials but I’ve never seen this one. If that’s a thing that some random ones can only come from certain pools that might explain it.
If you don’t have a catalyst, when you check the Patterns & Catalysts page in the game and hover over it, it will give you a hint/outright tell you how to get it.
Are you trying to get catalysts to drop, or to farm to complete ones you have? My memory is fuzzy after so many catalysts (I have all non-raid/dungeon done), but I swear I had a lot better luck in Crucible and Lost Sectors getting them to drop than I did Strikes. But I didn’t keep notes or anything…
Just trying to get a catalyst to drop. Will try Crucible as well although I’m trying to avoid PvP usually.
I hear you, not a huge PvP fan myself - at least with Control and iron Banner (non-eruption mode) it’s pretty good because you have an objective (capture the flag basically), and Mayhem isn’t even like PvP at all it’s more “just ability spam and shoot and have fun and level weapons”.
I think you should just go with the playlist. Especially since it sometimes drops you into strikes in progress so you get free super fast clears.
