Using Data to Find the Fastest Exotic Class Item Farm | Destiny 2: The Final Shape

good day everyone last week exotic class items in dual destiny were released and I've seen a lot of claims and results surrounding farming these most people say that farming dual Destiny is the easier and faster option but I wanted to see for myself exotic class items are a new and unique alternative to standard exotic armor they feature two simplified versions of standard exotic perks meant for use with Prismatic and when I say meant for use with Prismatic they're locked to Prismatic subclasses so they're not a complete replacement for standard builds uh but they are however hugely powerful in their own right and allow for some pretty crazy and neverbe seen interactions for example the one that I've been excitedly farming for the most is Spirit of apotheosis and spirit of the starer this gives warlock hugely boosted super damage and it allows for some pretty crazy ability spamming after using it and funnily enough for the first time in a while warlocks have really good boss DPS abilities and supers with this and Prismatic my main current theory craft is like needle storm and threading grenades with euphony the new raid exotic glenia Fusion rifle that boosts its own damage when dealing damage with thread Lings up to 25 times this thing already cranks damage uh and I've done a little bit of testing with the perk spindle at 25 Stacks uh and it's really surprising and really impressive but I just need this class item to make the build more viable and more consistent for Boss DPS scenarios and general play you know stuff like Master Champions and and under light level stuff I've also come up with a route for farming chests and I have the data to prove that this route is faster than dual Destiny we'll start with the route and look I can't draw a map to save my life so hopefully you can follow along and I'll explain some things as we go we only need a few requirements for this farm and they're pretty easy to meet first up a ghost with wo detector on it this lets us see all chests and planetary materials within what it states as a 50 m radius now I say that because we can change that a little bit we'll also need a sniper and the zoom doesn't really matter so whatever works for you this is because Zoom affects womo detector and it lets us see those markers just a little bit further away I also recommend any eager Edge sword be it a falling Guillotine or a dar's sword and it's useful for just making adjustments and speeding up the Run by a few seconds and now finally and probably most controversially I got to recommend a skimmer I have some minor changes for a route while using a sparrow and those will be a little bit later but given the skimmer's ability to sail over gaps it does save a fair bit of time all right starting off the chests don't spawn for 15 to 20 seconds after initially spawning in and I'm going to call this the grace period I usually take this time to set up and so what I do is I move down to these brass copper spheres and I'll clear the immediate area of any Hive scope in with the sniper and when you see the first chest or planetary materials spawn in you'll begin the run after a few runs you'll learn pretty much all the chest spawns but the path overall stays the same you're just moving in a loop around the map and you have to make sure to be within about 50 m of every chest spawn location so you can see it and go grab it [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] once the loop is complete I'll go grab any of the marked chests that spawn in the lower cave section in the middle of the map and you'll be able to see them while in the loop so keep them in mind after I've grabbed all the chests I'll reload into the landing and I'll repeat the cycle just a few things I tend to head back to orbit once the overthrow level hits two or three usually three this is when events start spawning that really interfere with the route and pathing such as the large Arena Style bubble near the spawn the shria and ogre room at the bottom of the map in the caves and the three Lucent Hive bubbles in the middle of the map if you can dodge and avoid these events without losing too much time great do that now the sparrow route and variation comes in at a few seconds slower every run and the time loss mainly happens at this Floating Bridge and tree at the bottom of the map you can usually circumvent this by watching the chest spawns down at the bottom end of the map and looping through the middle towards the caves if there's a chest down there near the bridge eager Edge over to it and return to the normal [Music] route in these clips you'll see me drive the sparrow across the bridge and if there's enemies down there or if you mess up a a Thruster Dodge and you hit the tree it does lose a little bit of time so keep that in mind [Music] [Music] now overall these routes can be made faster and more optimal with stuff like shatter skating Ascension skating strand grapple or like icus Dash I did want to keep this route class neutral at the moment and maybe I'll make some hyper optimal routes for each class but let me know down in the comments if you'd want to see that now that we've got our routes let's go look at the data just quickly these spreadsheets will be available in the description below after learning the route I ran it 129 times and recorded all the data how many chests there were how long each took and how many engrams and class items dropped these 129 runs featured a total of 608 chests and in my runs I got 15 class item drops the time stats on this table are recorded in seconds and they do include the 20 or so second grace period at the start of each run as well they do not however include loading and menu times I didn't want to include them because they do vary from player to player and if you're on Console or PC it's not really represent representative of the efficiency of the farm now on an average run it'll take about a minute and 41 seconds with an average of 4.7 chests per run and this doesn't include the occasional high value Target chest which I do recommend nuking and grabbing if it's on your path all in all it's hard to pinpoint an exact drop rate for the class items seeing as I only have my own data and the drop rate is low enough to mean that a single outlier could throw off the exact percentage by a few decimal points using all of these averages however we can figure out to a pretty solid degree of accuracy how many chests and how many runs it takes to drop a class item here we can see the average clear time the drop rate and the average clears per drop using this we can extrapolate that not including loading times chest farming in the landing will reward an exotic class item every 13 minutes and 50 seconds of near optimal farming time now that's pretty good to compare I did some runs of dual Destiny with my clanmates to try and find the average clear time for the AC ity with a dedicated farming partner the times average out to around 14 minutes and 30 seconds while using eager Edge and some speed strats now there is something that I want to point out and that's the bug regarding getting double loot from the Dual Destiny Mission I'm not going to show off how to do that but it does save significant time in the long run it's by far the most optimal way of farming these and I expect that it'll probably be patched within a few days but the daer is important for right now and in the future for posterity sake now looking at the average clear times and drop times saving 40 seconds by gambling and playing with drop chances doesn't seem like much on the surface but there are 64 permutations of this class item per character and at the moment I don't know if there's bad luck protection I don't think so I've gotten a single duplicate out of my 20 odd that I have so far so now let's move over to the no drop protection sheet if you're targeting a specific role this is about how long it takes for each version of farming it's pretty rough I personally like long farming sessions and and really having to to grind for something but I know that the average player might not be too big a fan of that standard dual Destiny farming currently requires a partner and is generally slower than farming chests alone I wanted to map out this data and make it publicly available in the scenario that Bungie both patches the Dual Destiny double drop issue and they potenti changed the drop rate from pale heart chests I also did a few runs of farming overthrow and farming chests in the daily overthrow area which at the time was the impass and there were no real significant changes to the drop rate but there was a big drop in the clear time but overall at the moment farming chests on the landing is the fastest way to score these and they're one 100% worth it if you made it to the end of the video thank you so much for watching let me know any thoughts down in the comments below and I hope you learned something from this
