Quality of Life Changes

• Brother Vance will now offer Passage Coins in exchange for Motes of Light.

• The Student of History Trophy/Achievement or Sigil of the Young Wolf Emblem for attuning all of the Rise of Iron Artifacts glitch has now been resolved (Yet unknown how this will resolve - Will emblem auto award or be in kiosk? Same for the Achievement / Trophy)
• Players will receive free gifts during each week of The Dawning event, which can be collected from the Postmaster. Confirmation Required - Yes there are daily gifts (Confirmed here) BUT there are reports of 'Weekly Rewards' from the Postmaster. I am now wondering if we get a 'Daily Gift' and a 'Weekly Treasure', the 'Weekly Treasure' being what you would buy from Eververse, the 'Daily gifts' being different entirely in loot and what we get everyday - I'm still looking to confirm - The Daily Gifts will be the Presents we have seen

• Green Engrams will AUTOMATICALLY dismantle into Weapon Parts and Armor Materials (Confirmed to be triggered once you hit Level 40)
• Eververse will be selling ‘The Dawning’ Treasure boxes which will contain cosmetic items and a new armor set ONLY available through the boxes
• Ornament Kiosk to be added and SPECIFIC Ornaments can be purchased and saved in the Kiosk for future use (No confirmation if this Included Bad Juju which you can only obtain from Radiant Treasures for now)
• Ornaments will be able to be purchased SPECIFICALLY and will not be locked behind RNG in Treasure Boxes
• Xur will stop selling ornaments. The kiosk will sell all past event ornaments for 25 silver per. The price will not change regardless of you having obtained the ornament or not. Xur will stop selling ornaments due to this.
• Skeleton Key Drop Rates are to be INCREASED

What Happens After The Dawning?

The Dawning

Can we still get Ice Breaker after the The Dawning ends?

• Yes, Zavala will still carry bounties after the event

Can we still complete the Competitive Spirit Record Book?

• Yes, the book can still be completed

Can we still get Exotics Nova Mortis / Abbadon after 'The Dawning'?

• Yes - You will start the quests / Rewards by dismantling the tags themselves

Can we still complete the SRL quest?

• Quests for the most part CANNOT be progressed In Private Matches so it's more than likely the SRL quests will become obsolete

What happens to Sparrow Racing?

• Sparrow Racing will be moved to Destiny Private Matches

What happens to Strike Scoring?

• Strike scoring will remain in-game through Nightfall, Heroic and SIVA Strike Playlists

Can I still get Dawning Treasure AFTER the event?

• Yes you can, Eververse and the Heroic playlist with Radiant treasure stepping a side to another playlist. Not to mention Sterling Treasure is still active in the Prison of Elders Level 41 activity

Can I still get the Sparrow Lysander's Cry?

• For this it is unknown, the Sparrow is kickstarted by a Ghost on Bannerfall (PVP map) so there's nothing to say it will be removed when 'The Dawning' ends but if you have time, I would collect it to be sure - Guide on how to get the Sparrow

Can I complete Speed Kills Quest after The Dawning?

• Yes but only if you obtain it BEFORE 'The Dawning' ends - this is a limited time only Quest - Bungie says - With the return of Sparrow Racing, all Destiny: Rise of Iron players are invited to complete the "Speed Kills" Exclusive Quest, which may only be obtained during The Dawning. Once the Quest has been received from Amanda Holliday in the Tower, it may be completed after The Dawning concludes on January 3rd, 2017 at 01:00 AM Pacific Time.

Sparrow Racing

Is S Class worth it and What will I get for S Class?

• Yes - Circuit Helmet, Emblem & Shader - Dawning Treasure is for RANK 5 and you pick it up from Amanda Holliday direct

Will I still be able to get the Shaders and Emblems?

• We don't know if Private Matches will do this - Although PMs do currently drop rewards and Reputation gains

Can I still get the Weapon chances on Sparrow Racing when the Dawning ends?

• Cannot say for sure but based on how Private Matches currently works, unfortunately, no

Will SRL bounties stay?

• Based on last year, No. Reason being there is no longer a SRL event, Sparrow Racing will take over

Strike Scoring

Will the Bounty robot still hold scoring Bounties?

• Yes, for your pleasure and pain on filling up all your bounty slots

Is the 'SUNRISE' Nightfall Bounty the only one that can drop a chance of Ice Breaker

• Yes

Will the revamped Strikes (Taniks, Omnigul, Nexus) be staying?

• Yes and in regular rotation. Nightfalls too

Simply Perfect Bounty is surely simply impossible?

• Aslong as YOU don't die, it completes. You all don't have to stay alive to complete it but obviously, staying alive is important

Other Information

Will the Ornament Kiosk stay?

• Yes, it will remain between Eververse and the Postmaster selling Ornaments Pre Dawning

Can I still get TLW, Red Death, Black Spindle and/or Ice Breaker Ornaments?

• Yes, from Dawning Treasures

Can we expect anything else from the event?

• In all honesty, yes! There's a week to go until it ends on JAN 3rd, keep your eyes up Guardian - Something may not happen but the Dawning Fortunes were unexpected, no reason why something else can't appear

I haven't signed in this week, can I get my Paper Fortune?

• Yes you can
