As a seasoned Guardian in Destiny 2, I'll never forget the thrill of diving into Raids for the first time, chasing after those elusive Spoils of Conquest. Back in 2024, when I heard about this Raid-exclusive currency, it felt like the ultimate endgame challenge—a way to finally craft those red border weapons and snag Exotics that had been sunset. Oh boy, was I in for a ride! The grind was real, folks. Each Spoils drop gave me just x5 of the currency, and with a cap of 240 at a time, I knew I had to hustle if I wanted to show off some sweet loot to my Fireteam. Man, the excitement of unlocking my first Deepsight Harmonizer on a Raid weapon still gives me chills. It's all about that Guardian pride, you know? 😎

Now, getting those Spoils ain't no walk in the park—it's a total grind fest! Spoils of Conquest can only be earned through Raids, and let me tell you, the easiest way is by opening Secret Chests. Each chest dishes out 5 Spoils per week per character, so with all three of my toons, I could max out at 180 a week. Easy peasy? Not quite! I remember one week when I spent hours coordinating with randos on a Discord-like platform (gotta keep it vague 'cause of the rules, but you know the drill) to grab checkpoints. Using bots to queue up for specific encounters was a lifesaver, but it still felt like herding cats sometimes. When I finally opened those chests, the loot drop was like hitting the jackpot—pure bliss! Here's a handy table I made based on my experiences, showing where you can farm Spoils in 2025:

Raid Name Secret Chest Spoils Repeat Encounter Spoils
Vault of Glass ✅ ✅
Last Wish ✅ ❌
Deep Stone Crypt ✅ ✅
Vow of the Disciple ✅ ✅
Root of Nightmares ✅ ❌

Man, seeing that pile of Spoils grow felt awesome. But the real fun came when I put 'em to use. With Spoils, you can activate Deepsight Harmonizers on Raid weapons to craft 'em at the Enclave—talk about customizing your arsenal! Or, for a whopping 240 Spoils, you can grab Exotics from the Monument to Lost Light. I still recall splurging on the Legend of Acrius; it was a beast from the Red War days, and let me just say, it's totally worth it for PvE mayhem. my-epic-destiny-2-adventure-with-spoils-of-conquest-image-0 Here's my take on the top Exotics to buy:

  • Anarchy: Insane for boss DPS—totally OP! 🔥

  • Tarrabah: If you love shredding adds, this is a must-have. 💪

  • Always on Time: Meh, skip it unless you're a speedrunner—kinda overrated.

Throughout this journey, I've had my ups and downs. One raid night, I got disconnected mid-fight and lost precious Spoils—talk about a facepalm moment! 😫 But when I finally crafted my first red border weapon, the sense of accomplishment was off the charts. It's not just about the loot; it's about the camaraderie with fellow Guardians and pushing your limits. Honestly, the grind can be a slog, but it's so worth it for that bragging rights factor.

Looking ahead to the future of Destiny 2 in 2025 and beyond, I'm stoked for what's coming. With The Final Shape expansion rolling out, I dream of new Raids that drop even more Spoils or introduce innovative ways to earn 'em—maybe through seasonal events or cross-play challenges. Personally, I hope Bungie adds a way to trade Spoils for unique cosmetics or boosts, 'cause let's be real, we all need more bling for our Guardians. Fingers crossed for less RNG and more player-friendly tweaks! Overall, this adventure has taught me patience and perseverance. If you're just starting out, don't sweat the grind—embrace it, and soon you'll be swimming in Spoils like a pro. Keep grinding, Guardians, and may your loot be ever in your favor! 🎮✨
