Destiny 2 Bright Dust guide: Fastest farm, all sources, best ornaments, and more

Bright Dust is one of the most useful currencies in Destiny 2, especially for those who prefer not to waste real money. While you need to spend on silver, you can get Bright Dust just by playing the game. With every new season and event, Bungie releases many new Eververse items in the in-game store. As The Final Shape is delayed until June 2024, this is the perfect time to farm some Bright Dust and save for the upcoming materials.

So, if you're wondering how to farm some Bright Dust or what great items you can spend your precious resources on, this article is for you. We will go through all the sources, along with some ornament recommendations, that you can buy with this in-game currency.

Although Bungie nerfed the Bright Dust economy by removing the weekly playlist bounties, which were the primary sources earlier on, they introduced seasonal challenges in Destiny 2. This new way allows players to farm an impressive amount without much effort. The change not only made farming easier, but has also encouraged players to play more.

Other than the ornaments, you can also get shaders, ships, sparrows, and a lot of other materials. However, as resources are often limited, it is better to save some for future seasons.

Although there are also some silver-only ornaments available in the Eververse store, don't buy them with your hard-earned money because they might be added as Bright Dust offerings in the upcoming seasons of Destiny 2.
