Bungie has introduced a new currency that lets players earn various noteworthy rewards from Lightfall, including powerful reissued raid weapons. Here’s how to get Wish Tokens in Destiny 2.

Although it has been somewhat divisive, Lightfall has introduced a lot of new content since it first launched in February 2023.

However, most Guardians had not expected Lightfall to last this long with The Final Shape’s delay leaving large segments of the community disgruntled. This decision also left a content void that Bungie is now challenged to fill.

In addition to this season’s popular dungeon, story developments, and meta-defining weapons, the Destiny developers have also introduced a new currency that looks to fill that void while also letting you earn some incredible rewards.

How to get Wish Tokens in Destiny 2

Wish Tokens are received as a reward for completing the Riven’s Wishes weekly quests. These quests will be released once per week for six weeks at Weekly Reset starting on January 30 and ending on March 5.

Each week, Mara Sov will assign you a new quest that requires the completion of various tasks and activities. Once the quest is complete you can return to her to receive one Wish Token for your troubles.
