I baked 302 cookies……the analysis and results are here
And it’s not looking good Bungie!
Had a little time today after Christmas, so did all 302 cookies with repeatable bounties. Below will show character, cookies baked, and gifts in return
Eris 15 2
Shaw Han 15 2
Tess 16 3
Eva 15 3
Drifter 16 3
Variks 18 3
Hawthorn 15 2
Devram 13 2
Zavala 15 3
Ada 15 3
Petra 16 3
Failsafe 19 3
Saint-14 14 3
Fynch 15 4
Strider 14 3
Exo Elsie 13 2
Xur 9 1 - yes ONE!!
Banshee 12 5 - best return
Ikora 19 4
Shaxx 20 5
From the 304 cookies, I received a total of 59 gifts in return. That’s 19%
Summary, for every 5 cookies, you will get 1 gift in return. Therefore you need 50 essence for a gift
What do we think guardians?
BAKING UPDATE 31/12/24
Did another 70 cookies and ONLY received 9 gifts in return. That’s 1 gift for every 8 cookies baked. MUCH worse return than the 302 cookies above.
Is it because I only gave some vendors 2 or 3 cookies, so the drop rate is based on the amount of cookies given to a vendor?
AND STILL NO EMBLEMS AFTER ALL THESE BAKED COOKIES 😂

[quote]What do we think guardians?[/quote] I think it looks bad. I always liked The Dawning (and I always enjoyed it). But this year, the ingredients are way more complicated to get. Like in the current season, too. This "spread" isn't worth my time...
-
4 RepliesYes, the returns suck, but I was more outraged by the actual drop rate of the ingredients, especially the stuff from powered melees. I spent almost 2 hours straight using as many powered melees as I could on one occasion, and managed to get 2 Personal Touches. This is beyond disgraceful.
-
Bumped due to a cookie baking update 😉

12 RepliesI like how you have such little respect for Nimbus, you don't even refer to them by their actual name.
-
1 ReplyOh it was easy to tell they nerfed the -blam!- out of gifts, just another way for bungie to increase play time. I’m leaving after heresy so I really don’t care anymore.
-
Banshee gave me the most gifts and got all 3 emblems thanks to him.
-
2 RepliesI think I'm going to skip this event, chief.
-
2 RepliesDid you keep count or is there a tracker? I’m curious how many I’ve made and how many weapons I focused.
-
1 ReplyI'm right at about 20% as well, with 42 Gifts in Return. Another question: how much Dawning Spirit did you get? Because after all that, I only have 772, which is not enough to target farm with all 42 Gifts in Return (25 dawning spirit per turn-in would require 1,050 Dawning Spirit) so I might as well only have earned 30 Gifts in Return. Granted, I didn't do ALL the bounties EVERY DAY, but I did have my Starfarer equipped; my point being that there's a double bottleneck, Gifts and Essence.
-
5 RepliesI think the more dramatic part is that you get like an enhancement core for opening the present and 250 glimmer or something.
-
The weapons from challenges had the rolls I liked. I dodged this grind completely.
-
Destiny events suck part 31423
-
I'm so full I want more lol but seriously the dawning and other events need more loot and so on.
-
I am swimming in weapons, already have more rolls than I can store, replacing single perk god rolls with double perk ones and have 63 gifts I don't know what to do with. Dawning is easy and by week 3 everyone should have enough loot provided he/she/it was playing.
-
These are scraps, we're not dogs.
-
1 ReplyI think you have too much time on your hands lol.
-
Yeah, thats about right - 1 in 5 for my deliveries too. This is the first dawning where I have just played the game and done dawning chores as an afterthought. Which is really strange as the whole idea of an event is surely to do event stuff primarily? I remember the good ole days of proper event activities rewarding event currency.
-
1 Replyfor me its been one gift out of 6 or 7 cookies
-
This also relates back to the outrage over loss of crafting. Making new meaningless systems like tonics to add to a game with terrible reward structures and then removing crafting….. Man I can’t imagine why they have no players left. Can you imagine how much all this bad faith from gamers will impact their release of Marathon? Who is going to pay these developers in advance for content?
-
Totally stingy, the Bungie grinch stole the dawning.
-
2 RepliesIt would have been interesting to see the rolls. I keep getting headstone with lone wolf and enlightened over and over. Did get a few PvP god rolls but they know I won’t ever come off my revision zero in PvP.
-
1 ReplyBeen running exclusively for emblems for over 2 weeks now. Using the vendors we're supposed to be using. Gotten -1- emblem to drop in all that time and I play dang near all day. Not even my own Vanguard. I'm beyond irritated.
-
Edited by a lost tenno: 12/27/2024 12:06:54 AMThats alot of cookies Hopefully the vendors get sick [spoiler]They make me fly to the tower to get my loot[/spoiler]
-
1 ReplyYeah, looks about right, got 1 gift for every 5-6 cookies handed in. This is outrageously bad considering how much essence you have to grind for this. Tbh I just can't fathom how this is considered acceptable practice. Onslaught should have shown them that rewarding grind will be grinded. This isn't rewarding and people just don't want to engage with this kind of activities anymore.
-
1 ReplyI think 1/5 is fine IF we get like 3x more essence to drop. If essence drop remains as is, I think the drop rate should be closer to 1/2 or 1/3. You get FAR less weapons than festival for the drops to be as scant as is.
-
Happy holidays. 1 in 5 gift in retro.is average. Boons of friendship with playlists helps to a point for gift drops. Dawning emblem drops means no weapon focus.due to unwritten mechanics . Emblem drop improves near en of week. At least that is what Bungie stated in TWAB.
