Destiny 2 Dawning Recipes (2020): Gifts And Rewards

Destiny 2’s annual winter celebration transforms the solar system into a festive baking adventure where Guardians become master confectioners. The 2020 Dawning introduces new recipes and mechanics that expand upon previous years’ events, creating an engaging seasonal activity that combines combat with creative crafting.

Running through the weekly reset on January 4, this holiday event centers around Eva Levante’s upgraded Holiday Oven 2.0, your essential tool for creating delicious treats. With the Beyond Light expansion introducing five new characters, you’ll discover additional recipes beyond the familiar classics. The core gameplay loop involves gathering ingredients through various activities, discovering recipes through experimentation, and delivering finished goods to NPCs across the system.

Your culinary creations serve as gifts for Destiny’s diverse cast of characters, including surprising recipients like Riven, the final boss of the Last Wish raid. Completing these deliveries unlocks exclusive bounties and quests that yield valuable seasonal rewards. To begin your baking journey, visit Eva Levante in the Tower to acquire your Holiday Oven and receive comprehensive instructions on its operation.

The Dawning 2020 armor sets for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks.

Successful Dawning participation requires strategic farming of ingredients through targeted gameplay. Most components drop from specific enemy types or combat methods, creating natural synergies with your regular activities. Understanding these acquisition patterns significantly reduces grinding time and maximizes your baking output.

Essence of Dawning serves as the universal currency for all recipes, with each treat requiring 15 units initially. This cost permanently reduces to 10 after masterworking your oven by discovering every available recipe. You’ll accumulate Essence through activity completion, including public events and strikes, while Eva’s weekly bounties offer guaranteed, though limited, additional sources.

Advanced players should focus on combining ingredient farming with their existing gameplay goals. For example, when completing Vanguard bounties requiring specific elemental kills, you can simultaneously gather Impossible Heat (Solar), Electric Taste (Arc), or Null Taste (Void) ingredients.

• Delicious Explosion: Defeat enemies with explosive damage from grenades, rocket launchers, or grenade launchers
• Sharp Flavor: Eliminate targets using sword attacks
• Impossible Heat: Secure kills with Solar-based abilities and weapons
• Electric Taste: Dispatch foes using Arc damage sources
• Null Taste: Vanquish enemies with Void element attacks

Optimization tip: Focus on Lost Sectors for concentrated enemy encounters that allow rapid ingredient accumulation. The longer you remain in an activity without returning to orbit, the more efficient your farming becomes due to reduced loading screens.

This comprehensive table details every Dawning 2020 recipe, including ingredient combinations and delivery locations. Mastering these recipes not only unlocks the oven masterwork but also provides access to exclusive rewards and triumph progress.

Pro tip: Create a delivery route by grouping NPCs located in the same social spaces. Start with Tower deliveries (Zavala, Shaxx, Banshee, etc.), then move to destinations like the Tangled Shore or Dreaming City to minimize travel time between cookie drops.

Seasoned Guardians can optimize their Dawning experience through strategic planning and understanding of game mechanics. The most common mistake involves inefficient ingredient farming by constantly changing activities instead of focusing on specific enemy types or damage methods.

Time management is crucial during the limited event window. Allocate 2-3 hours weekly specifically for ingredient gathering, focusing on activities that align with your current bounty completion goals. This approach creates natural synergy between seasonal and regular gameplay activities.

For maximum efficiency, coordinate your subclass elements and weapon loadouts with the ingredients you need. If farming for Impossible Heat, equip Solar subclasses and weapons; for Electric Taste, use Arc-based setups. This method ensures you’re making progress toward multiple objectives simultaneously.

Understanding the masterwork the oven mechanic early provides significant long-term benefits. The resource savings from reduced Essence costs compound throughout the event, allowing you to create more treats and earn more rewards with the same time investment.

Advanced strategy: Save your ingredient deliveries for when you have multiple cookies ready for the same destination. This minimizes time spent in loading screens and maximizes your reward acquisition rate.
