Alright, let’s talk about getting those Spoils of Conquest, specifically grabbing a full stack of 240 real quick in Destiny 2. I found myself needing a bunch, like, yesterday. You know how it is, staring at that Kiosk, wanting one of those old raid exotics that cost an arm and a leg in Spoils. I think it was Tarrabah I had my eye on this time, or maybe it was Anarchy, doesn’t matter really. Point is, I needed 240 Spoils and didn’t want to spend weeks doing full raids.
Finding the “Fastest” Way
So, I started asking around, checked what folks were saying online. Everyone kept mentioning this farm, the first encounter in the Crota’s End raid. They called it ‘The Abyss’ or ‘Stills’ farm. Sounded simple enough: load in, grab a chest that gives spoils on your first run per character per week, then… somehow reset it fast? Nah, that wasn’t it. The real farm was about completing the very first part super fast for spoils after your first weekly clear.
It boiled down to this: you finish the encounter once normally on a character. Then, you swap characters, join back on someone still in that first encounter instance before they finish it, finish it with them, get spoils, leave, swap back to your main, rejoin, finish, get spoils. Repeat. Sounded fishy, maybe like an exploit, but people swore by it for speed.
But here’s the thing I actually ended up doing, which was way simpler and legit, just pure speed grinding the encounter itself. Turns out, just running the first encounter (The Abyss) over and over is genuinely fast if your team is decent. No weird character swapping needed after the first weekly clear per character gave its guaranteed spoils.
Getting the Grind Going
I grabbed a couple of buddies from my clan. We figured three people would be enough. We loaded into Crota’s End, the normal difficulty one.
- We made sure we all had decent add-clear weapons. Forbearance was popular, some folks used Trinity Ghoul.
- Movement was key. Lightweight weapons, Eager Edge swords, Strand grapple… anything to move fast through that dark maze.
- One person usually focused on grabbing the ‘Chalice of Light’ and dunking it to build the bridge plates.
- The other two just cleared enemies like mad and tried to stay alive, activating plates as needed.
First few runs were a bit messy. People getting lost in the dark, dying to the Weight of Darkness debuff, missing plate timers. Standard stuff when you’re learning or shaking off rust. But we got into a rhythm.
The process looked like this: Load in. Grab Chalice. Run like crazy. Clear adds. Dunk Chalice. Activate plates. Kill Ogres. Cross bridge. Open chest. That first chest only gives spoils once per week per character, remember. The spoils farm comes after. You get spoils dropped right after the encounter finishes each time, regardless of the chest.
The Repetition Kicks In
Man, after maybe the fifth or sixth clear, it started to blur together. Load in, run, shoot, dunk, run, shoot, cross bridge, get 5 spoils. Repeat. Over and over. We got faster. Much faster. A run probably took us, I don’t know, maybe 5-7 minutes once we were really cooking? Maybe less?
We put on some music, chatted about random stuff. You have to, otherwise the sheer repetition would drive you nuts. It’s efficient, yeah. “Fastest” is debatable, maybe those character-swapping things are faster if you have the setup, but this felt consistent. No messing around with joining and leaving.
We did this for… I don’t know, felt like a couple of hours? Maybe three? We just kept going until everyone had their 240 Spoils. My eyes felt glazed over by the end. Staring into that dark Abyss map for so long, doing the same thing.
Was It Worth It?
Yeah, I got my 240 spoils. Went straight to the Tower and bought that exotic I wanted. Felt good, for a minute. But the title, “fastest 240 spoils destiny 2″… fastest, maybe. Did it “spoil” the game? Nah, not really spoil it, but it definitely highlights the grindy part. It wasn’t exactly thrilling gameplay after the first hour.
It’s like any super-efficient farm. You trade fun for speed. You get the reward, but the process itself becomes robotic. I remember thinking, “Is this peak Destiny? Running the same short thing again and again?”. Probably not, but hey, gotta get those exotics somehow, right? It worked. Got the spoils, got the gun. Job done. Just needed a break from the color green and darkness for a bit after that session.
