So you wanna be the very best, like no Guardian ever was? To catch those Holofoil weapons is your real test? Well, buckle up space cowboys, because Bungie’s latest currency—Nonary Manifolds—has players diving headfirst into ancient content like archaeologists with rocket launchers. These shiny digital poker chips are your golden ticket to Rite of the Nine’s Adept weapons and disco-ball-esque Holofoil gear. But here’s the kicker: getting ’em ain’t no walk in the Tower Gardens. Nope, it’s more like running a marathon through a Vex conga line while solving Sudoku puzzles. 🕺💀
💎 4 Ways to Farm Nonary Manifolds (Prepare Your Coffee)
Guardians ain’t got time for guesswork, so here’s the loot pipeline breakdown:
-
Weekly Highlighted Dungeon Slaughter: Jump into rotation dungeons and turn enemies into confetti.
-
Curio of the Nine Exchange: Trade those dusty trinkets like a Fallen haggler at the Flea Market.
-
Rite of the Nine Dungeon Encounters: Because punching bosses repeatedly is therapeutic.
-
Emissary Contracts: Basically bounty grinding with extra space magic.
Pro tip? Combine all four like a cosmic smoothie for maximum gains. But why sip when you can GULP?
⚡ The God-Tier Farming Spot: Spire of Watcher Ultimatum
Listen up, speedrunners! The undisputed champion of Nonary Manifold grinding is Spire of the Watcher’s first encounter (Ascension) on Ultimatum difficulty. Why? Let’s crunch numbers:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Manifolds per Run | 90 |
| Time per Run | ~7 mins |
| Adept Weapon Drop Chance | Ridiculously High |
| Required Skill Level | "Can You Press Buttons?" |
It’s hilariously simple: activate Arctician buff, solve two puzzles (easier than IKEA instructions), vaporize some Hydras, and bam—90 Manifolds richer. Solo players rejoice! Even your pet Exo could farm this while you nap. 💤
🥈 Honorable (But Slower) Mentions
Not a fan of Vex puzzles? Try these alternatives if you enjoy pain:
-
Ghosts of the Deep: More enemies than a Cabal family reunion. Bring add-clear weapons.
-
Prophecy: Nostalgic, but you’ll spend half your time cleaning Taken goo off your boots.
🎰 Spending Your Hard-Earned Chips: The Reward Chest
Once you’ve stockpiled Manifolds like a dragon hoarding gold, head to the Eternity tab’s Reward Chest. Each pull costs 250 Manifolds, but oh baby—the dopamine rush when that Holofoil weapon drops! ✨ Pro strat: Attune to specific weapons first. It’s like whispering sweet nothings to RNGesus for better odds.
