After eight years, the Destiny franchise is moving on from its various destination materials – the Spinmetal, Helium Filaments and Relic Iron you could zoom around on your Sparrow vehicle and harvest while patrolling the series’ many planets and moons.
Some of my earliest memories from Destiny 1 are of looping the Cosmodrome for Spinmetal Leaves, hopping off my Sparrow to gather them, then heading off to the next node. Levelling your gear – which in turn levels your character – required plugging bits of these resources in, and I don’t want to think about the number of hours I spent grinding these out.
Now, or rather as of Destiny 2’s upcoming Season 19, the materials themselves will no longer be available to acquire – although you can still go zooming around on your Sparrow if you want to.
