Destiny 2's Dawning 2024: How to Quickly Farm Essence and Ingredients

The annual holiday event challenges players to gather resources for cookie recipes, with efficient farming methods critical for success.

Essence of Dawning is required to bake cookies in Destiny 2's Dawning 2024 event, with each cookie needing at least 15 Essence unless players masterwork Eva’s Holiday Oven 2.4 to reduce costs to 10 Essence.
The fastest Essence farming methods include completing the First Contact campaign mission for fireteams, Legend Lost Sectors for solo players, and EDZ Public Events for casual players.
Ingredient farming is essential for recipe completion, with specific locations like Trostland for Cabal Oil, Altars of Sorrow for Chitin Powder, and the Bay of Drowned Wishes for Dark Ether Cane offering the best efficiency.
Players can passively earn Essence of Dawning through ritual activities like Crucible, Nightfall strikes, and Gambit, combining resource farming with weapon and gear pursuits.
Masterworking Eva’s Holiday Oven 2.4 by discovering all 20 recipes is a priority, as it significantly reduces Essence costs and improves overall resource management during the event.
