Believe it or not, there are actually simple ways to do these steps. This is not an in-depth guide at all because I assume most of you have Hawkmoon or are close to it and don't need some help. This is a suggestion so you don't have to try it but I literally got through both of these steps relatively quickly.
Orbs of Power Step:
My recommendation is to use the "Ace of Spades" Hand Cannon to get Orbs, as far as I know (quick note: this worked for me so it should work for you) you can get multi-kills to generate orbs and pick them up. I got 41/50 orbs just by doing a normal playlist strike and then the rest on the end fight of the strike (which was EZPZ). If you have a fireteam, I would recommend doing a strike and dying on the last part or boss-fight (ik its annoying) to repeat getting orbs. If you don't have the Ace of Spades, you can acquire it via your collection or just get it from the Monument of Lost Lights (considering you have the mats).
Crucible/Champion Kills Step:
So here's the deal, there is no way to do this step without it taking around an hour. This is a hard step but if you go the champion route, you get more progress. Personally what I would do (and what I did) was to go into crucible and get kills in solo Iron Banner. I used Crimil's Dagger and the Seventh Seraph shotgun for this and it worked perfectly. Within like 9-10 games I was done (averaging ~20 kills per game). If you go the champion route, you could do the 1280 NF or just the 100k NF and farm those ogres or anti-barriers. Very easy step, just time consuming.
In total (Final/TL;DR):
-Use Ace of Spades for orbs on strikes
-Farm crucible (Crimil's Dagger and Seventh Seraph, or really anything that's a 1-2 punch)
Thanks for reading and I thought to share my knowledge with the community because I know there are people like me that struggle with quests or just simply don't have time/are either new or just haven't played in a while.
*Must Have Season Pass and done First Wrathborn Hunt as well*
Thanks again,
