Destiny 2: How to Farm Essence of Dawning Fast

Guide for Farming Essence of Dawning, in order to make cookies in the Dawning 2019 Event for Destiny 2.

A looter shooter game with baking. Well, here we are.

Dawning 2019 in Destiny 2 is a baking competition. Every single recipe requires Essence of Dawn which means you need A LOT of it. Here are the best ways to farm EoD so you can bake, yes bake.

Farm the Strike Playlist (Grouped)

16+ Essence of Dawn per completion.
It can be completed in 5-10 minutes.
This is the best method if you are in a good group.
Skip as much of the trash as you can.

You can also farm this as a solo player, but you won't be able to complete the strikes as quickly or skip the trash. Find some good friends and knock out those strikes in a hurry.

The Crucible (Solo)

Play Scorched
11+ Essence of Dawn per match.
The game is over in 5-8 minutes.

Scorched is the key here. It's fast and furious. Let the Essence of Dawn rain down.

AFK Farming Forges

1 Essence of Dawn per minute
Not recommended.

You can do this with friends, but please don't ruin it for others.
