Is Garden of Salvation Farmable?
When the Garden of Salvation is the featured raid of the week, you can farm it endlessly for loot, including its Exotic reward. All you need is a dedicated Fireteam and some time to grind.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to farming the GoS raid:
Step 1: Reach the Desired Encounter
- Play through the raid on your first character until you get to the encounter you want to farm.
Step 2: Set Up the Checkpoint
- Start the encounter, then wipe (have your team die without completing it).
- Stay in the Fireteam, but switch to another character that has not done the raid that week.
- Rejoin your Fireteam on this second character.
- Wipe once more to lock in the checkpoint on your second character.
Step 3: Begin Farming
- Launch the GoS raid on your second character (which holds the checkpoint).
- Switch back to your first character and rejoin the Fireteam.
- Complete the encounter and collect your loot.
- Leave the raid, switch characters, and repeat the process.
This method lets you farm the same GoS encounter as many times as you want during the weekly reset.
