Bright Dust is required to buy items from the Eververse, which includes Legendary Emotes and Exotic Ornaments. Bright Dust comes from Bright Engrams. Bright Engrams can randomly drop, but they have a higher drop rate in activities like Heroic Public Events, Strikes, Nightfalls Strikes, and Raids. Take the Bright Engrams to Tess Everis at the Eververse to get items such as Exotic Ornaments and Legendary Ships, Shaders, and Sparrows from them. Dismantle these items to get Bright Dust.
When Cabal Phalanxes raise their shield, shoot the circle emblem in the middle of the shield to take it down and inflict some damage, making it much easier to kill them.
Easy Radiolarian Cultures and Paradox Amplifiers ("Curse Of Osiris" DLC)
Radiolarian Cultures and Paradox Amplifiers are required to forge Verse weapons on Mercury. You can get Radiolarian Cultures from Public Events and loot chests on any planet. A quick and easy way to get Radiolarian Cultures is by jumping between Public Events on any planet and searching for chests in the area while waiting for the Public Events to start. Make sure to use a ghost or perk that displays nearby chests on that planet. The best place to farm for chests while completing Public Events is Titan. It is a smaller map, with lots of chests spawning, and two Public Events that are near each other. To collect Paradox Amplifiers, play Crucible matches and Heroic Adventures and Strikes. Crucible matches are the best way to earn Paradox Amplifiers, as matches are shorter than Heroic Adventures and Strikes, and you can earn Paradox Amplifiers whether you win or lose a Crucible match.
First, successfully complete the campaign to unlock The Tower. In the walkway of The Tower courtyard is a pile of random items. When you get close to these items, a message will appear saying "Don't Pick Me Up." Pick up an item to get a notification saying the "Floor is Lava!" The ground will now be lava. If you land on the ground, the screen will turn red and you will take damage. If you stay there too long, you will eventually die. Avoid the ground by jumping on boxes, pallets, or use the railings while making it to the nearby blue marker in The Tower. Reach the point to complete the mini-game and unlock the "Quickness" buff, which allows you to move quickly and jump higher.
Getting desired Exotic weapons, armor, and items
When you have an Exotic or Bright engram, go to the inventory screen and scroll over it. Press Y to preview the possible items you can get from it. If you do not want any of the items listed, simply wait a few minutes for it to refresh the items you can get from it. Keep doing this until at least one of the items listed in the preview is an item you want before decoding it to increase your chances of getting an item you want.
Successfully complete the campaign. Then, complete the "Patrol" mission in the EDZ to unlock the Patrol mission beacons on all four planets. Complete three Patrol missions on any one planet, then return to Cayde-6 to unlock the weekly Flashpoint Milestone objective. The Flashpoint objective can take place on Earth, Io, Nessus, or Titan, and requires you to complete a certain amount of Public Events that week to unlock a Legendary Engram from Cayde-6, which contains either a Legendary or Exotic weapon or armor item. Every time you complete a Public Event, you will be given a certain percentage towards completing the Flashpoint Milestone. You will gain more percentage points towards the Milestone if you complete a Heroic Public Event.
To unlock the Sparrow before the end of the game, you have to get it through a Bright Engram. Bright Engrams are earned by leveling up. You can also purchase them with Silver, which is bought through microtransactions using real money. Turn the Bright Engrams into Tess Everis at The Farm to decrypt. There is a small chance you will unlock a Sparrow. To buy a Sparrow after completing the game, find Amanda Holliday in The Tower - Social Sector. She sells Sparrows. The Tower becomes available after completing the main campaign and defeating the final Boss. The Sparrow is a one-person mount a guardian can summon from their inventory to get around more quickly. Weapons cannot be used on Sparrows, but boosting into opponents will inflict damage. Your Sparrow cannot be destroyed. If you leave it behind, you can simply summon another one.
Successfully complete the main campaign and defeat the final Boss to unlock The Tower, which contains lots of new vendors and end-game activities.

There is a special vendor named Xur, Agent Of The Nine, that appears in random areas on the four planets. You can find his location by displaying the map and finding the "IX" logo on the map. He spawns at 9:00 a.m. GMT/UTC on Fridays and leaves at 9:00 a.m. GMT/UTC on Sundays. Unlike other vendors, Xur sells exotic weapons and items, and his supplies change each week. However, the cost of the weapons and items use a different currency. His normal rates for exotic weapons are 29 Legendary Shards and armor are 23 Legendary Shards.
