  • I recently got motivated to finally ascend from Guardian rank 7 and embark on the journey to the fabled rank 11 Paragon! Ever since guardian ranks came out I wondered how hard getting to rank 11 really was. So let's figure it out and see how long the Paragon grind really takes!

    My friends and I gilded Conqueror this season because we noticed how close we were to it just by playing the game, we only had like 2 or 3 GMs missing. We were kinda scared of The Corrupted but we learned about a cheese that lets you have infinite Flechette Storm that can break the immune shields on Strand Titan using the orbs of that nightfall, we also learned that if you walk far enough to spawn the ogre boss and then quickly walk back to the stairs without fully entering the arena, you will not spawn the champion that hides at the back of the room in the dark dimension (I don't know how it's called) and you will still get platinum without ever having to enter the arena. With that knowledge I swear Corrupted now became the actual easiest GM this whole season which is insane.
    Also, praise Tony.

    Bonus points for getting Dredgen. As a 6x gilded and on behalf of all Dredgens you are now knighted.
    Nice job on Glorious too. I think Crota rewarded you for your troubles with the jackpot of oversoul essence. It’s pretty rare to get.
    Watching your videos is always a thrill and to top it off I made and drank a strawberry smoothie to watch this with. Couldn’t have a better experience.

      I gave up on trying to be a completionist solely because of unreliable teammates. The RNG when it comes to people is worse than RNG in game, I swear. So, raid titles, any hard achievement that requires six dedicated people, are things I accepted I'll probably never complete.

    Truly saying 'nows the time for Paragon' with the absolute worst GM rotation we've literally ever had XD (I think the only 'good one' is Lake of Shadows, with The Corrupted not being terrible anymore due to being able to just stand in the back during the final section and plink plonk away. But the entire rest of the list is painnn compared to stuff like Devil's Lair and the like which often shows up XD). But hay, even more of an achievement joining the Paragon gang. Did great climbing all the way up the ranks!
    And wish you the best if you decide to do it next...whatever we are calling the next rotation!

    Whene and my bud decided we wanted to get that 11, my biggest timesink was the 90 exotics (took me like 2 months). But when we got to 10, that master crotas was a BANE. Effectively 3 days of attempts with varying people but when we did it, man did that feel good.

    i remember farming to rank 11 the first time the guardian rank system came out and decided "this is incredibly boring im never doing it again" it's not particularily hard but i remember getting the blue and green commendation requirements for rank 11 being super annoying because i had done everything else but just needed commendations, so i basically begged people at the end of raid and dungeon runs to give me blue or green commendations.

    As regular gambit player, the best advice I can give for getting the last part done on the malfeasance quest is this: use Dead Man’s Tale or a strong pulse, and either use ghorn or a strong machine gun. Easy, cheesy, and most importantly, fun.

    With lightfall, you no longer need to do shuro chi for catalysts. Grasp of avarice entrance is best for primaries, and the lightfall mission breakneck has a free rally flag after the brief parkour section through the glass door, just kill everything in there except the wyvern. Its also permanently checkpointed.

    Yeah, I'm just waiting on the green & blue Commendations for Rank 10 again; it's usually what I end up stuck on for weeks.
    Fun fact: way back when I got it, I did Protect the Runner while I was solo-queueing, on the Tangled Shore map with the death ravines in the middle, and we were against a 4-stack (iirc).
    Yes, that did mean a team of matchmade randoms beat out a 4-stack and one of us flawlessly banked 75 Motes. I think that was also back in Trench Barrel Ikelos' heyday before the big TB nerf.

    Commendations is the most annoying part of ranking up for me. I've already hit rank 11 both in Lightfall's launch and Season of the Deep but afterwards couldn't be bothered to do it because I'd already have most of the other triumphs complete but then get stopped by having to get an extra 500 commendation score. Which is such an unbelievable slog and grind.

    Probably gonna trigger a lot of ppl but honestly I did the crota cheese on master so I can finally start necrochasm quest. Exactly how did he get 34 essence? Is it from doing the whole raid or what? If so man I hope my clan can help me or hopefully I get lucky with lfg someday I got a vague idea of how the raid is done but I do better actually attempting it and learning at the same time. I at least did it in d1 and I gotta say at least it's a raid finally

    As someone who just recently finished my own Paragon grind I want to congratulate you. I personally am a solo player without a mic and am also in the process of putting together a look at what that experience is like. Congrats, and thank you for being a Paragon of our community.
