Destiny 2‘s holiday Dawning eventis upon us once again, featuring an exciting array ofnew weapons, unlockables, and cosmeticsfor Guardians to chase after. As per usual, though, the only real way to participate in Dawning is to bake a smorgasbord of cookies. 20 of them, at least!
Indeed,Destiny 2‘s Dawning 2023 event features a grand total of 20 unique cookies, cakes, and other fantasy baked goods. Whilethe process of baking cookies inDestiny 2is straightforward in and of itself, actually farming the necessary resources is a fair bit more involved. Guardians will need to burn, electrocute, and punch their way through a ridiculous number of enemy forces to truly immerse themselves into the spirit of Dawning proper, and this guide will ensure that you optimize the heck out of this process.
All cookie recipes and ingredients in Destiny 2 Dawning 2023
Let’s start from the basics, then: there are two different types of cookie ingredients inDestiny 2: common resources and rare resources. On top of dropping at often wildly different rates, the key difference between common and rare cookie ingredients also lies inhowthey drop. Whereas it’s enough to just take a specific kind of enemy down to get their common drop, the only way to get a rare drop is to, say, shoot them in their head. Neat!
Common cookie ingredients
There are only six unique common ingredients you’ll need to farm as part ofDestiny 2‘s Dawning of 2023, and each of them is attached to a particular enemy faction:
All of these ingredients are easily accessible simply by playing content that features a particular enemy faction. Duking it out with your target faction in Patrol Zones should yield similar results, so Guardians have plenty of options to choose from.
Rare cookie ingredients
Whereas you should have more than enough common ingredients to go around, the same cannot necessarily be said about the rare drops. The only way to get these is to use specific weapon types or elemental damage, which means you’ll often need to go out of your way to, say, use a shotgun or a fusion rifle for these to drop:
The vast majority of these are RNG-bound. In other words, it is entirely possible to spend loads of ammo and ability energy before a rare cookie ingredient drops, and getting them all may well turn into a bit of a grind before you get them all done.
All cookie recipes – Dawning 2023
Finally, there are all the ingredient combinations we’ve got on offer for this year’s Dawning. With 20 cookies to go, it’s going to take a bit until you may masterwork your Oven for reduced crafting requirements. Yet, if you aim to unlock all (or even just the majority) of Dawning’s cosmetics and items, you’re going to want to get this done for sure. Here are all the cookie recipes, as well as who you should be giving them to:
One last thing to keep in mind is that you’ll need 15 Essence of Dawning to bake a single cookie. After you’ve masterworked your Oven by baking each cookie at least once, this drops to a mere 10 Essence for further bakes, allowing you to optimize your farming by a significant margin.
