This week in Destiny:
In case you haven't noticed, we recently had a makeover with our very own key art which we commissioned from Jax!
We're really happy with how it turned out! We've already updated all of our graphics to include it.
There's even some emblems themed around it which are available to purchase from the new Glimmer Store which we'll be talking more about just below!
We've released/are releasing a bunch of new permanent stores and currencies, so let's go over them real quick.
This can be earned from turning in excess event tokens. It will have many more sources in the future and will act as a general currency.
This is earned from over-levelling event passes. Every 100,000 points over the final rank you go, you'll earn 100 chronologs.
This is earned from placing in the top 50 on leaderboards. You earn more gold for placing higher on the leaderboard.

This is a shop where you can purchase general emblems, banners and badges. Each shop season, we'll add 6-12 new emblems, 6-12 new banners and 3-6 new badges. Shop seasons last around a month.
This is a shop where you can purchase retired event rewards, excluding placement badges, quest rewards and prestige rewards. Retired and unreleased spotlight rewards will also be purchasable from this store. Excess chronologs can be converted to glimmer.

[REDACTED]. Sorry, we can't really talk about this one yet.
Flashpoint: Neomuna, our first week long flashpoint event has started. We spoke more about this in last week's TWID.
This time around, we've made a few changes to the event store.
We've added daily deals to the shop, where you can convert your tokens into other currencies. Below is a table with all the trades you can make:
| DEAL | PRICE | DAILY LIMIT |
|---|---|---|
| 3500 Qubits | 15 Data Keys | 3 times a day |
| 10 Chronologs | 5 Data Keys | 3 times a day |
| 1 Reroll Chip | 1 Data Key | 7 times a day |
We've removed the ability to infinitely convert your tokens into the collectible currency. Instead, players will be able to infinitely convert their tokens into glimmer going forward. They can do this at a rate of 15 tokens to 1000 glimmer.
With the top spots likely being more competitive going forward due to gold rewards, we don't want to allow players to "hide" collectible currency from each other by holding onto tokens to convert at the last moment.
Besides these changes, and the ones we outlined in the TWID, the rest of the event should play exactly as you'd expect.
Veist has won the event poll and the next Arms Week will feature Veist weapons!
We will have more info to share regarding this next week. Thank you to our patrons for voting!

We have a good chunk of news about Challenge Packs to share with you today.
We're changing how we release Challenge Packs. Instead of releasing waves of seven, we will drop two or three themed around events and have them grant event currencies while they're featured.
We will still honor our previous commitment to release King's Fall as the next raid Challenge Pack, and have that launch alongside Arms Week: Veist.
We are removing emblem rewards for individual challenges from future Challenge Packs and be shifting to alternative rewards.
While we'd love to have an emblem tied to each challenge, it's a lot of work to do which slows down the release of Challenge Packs, takes resources away from events and prevents us from setting intermediate challenges.
While we won't have rewards for every challenge, challenges we consider to be "Tier 5" challenges will have a new cosmetic reward tied to them. These are the hardest challenges, such as the trio speedrun raids, solo speedrun dungeons and solo flawless master dungeons.
We will also feature custom badges for Challenge Packs in the future, a suggestion based on your feedback, but we will need some time to fully prepare these and retroactively apply them to old Challenge Packs.
Old Challenge Pack emblems will still be earnable for a little while, but will eventually be moved to the glimmer store under the retired rewards section.
We have no plans to remove the emblems tied to full or partial Challenge Pack completion.
This isn't a decision we took lightly, but it is to improve the quality of rewards we offer inside of Challenge Packs, and to be able to focus more heavily on running fantastic events.
"Community Triumph Score" has long been dormant and will be added to Challenge Packs in a future update, alongside some rewards for hitting triumph score milestones.
Challenges will have different amounts of triumph score tied to them depending on their difficulty.
That's all for now, I hope to see you all around for Flashpoint: Neomuna and Arms Week: Veist!
Until next time, eyes up, Guardians
