'''Age of Triumph''' is a live event released ''[[Destiny]]'' as part of the ''[[Rise of Iron]]'' expansion on the [[PlayStation 4]] and [[Xbox One]] consoles. It delivered content on a similar scale to the ''[[April Update]]'' during ''[[The Taken King]]'' expansion. Bungie hosted a series of streams to present some of the new content coming to the game throughout March<ref>[http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/774890/Destiny-news-Age-of-Triumph-Bungie-Destiny-2-release-update '''Express''' - ''Destiny news: Age of Triumph revealed as Bungie confirm grave Destiny 2 release update'']</ref> until the 22nd.<ref name="Road">[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/45708/7_The-Road-Ahead '''Bungie.net''' - ''The Road Ahead'']</ref> The update itself was released on the 28th.<ref name="reddit">[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/5ya3om/what_to_expect_in_age_of_triumph/ '''reddit''' - ''What to expect in Age of Triumph'']</ref>

Age of Triumph is the final content update to be released for Destiny, being the finale to Guardians' adventures before ''[[Destiny 2]]'' is released later in September 2017. As with ''[[The Dawning]]'', the content featured in this event will remain permanently in the game once it went live,<ref name="Road"/> with the exception of [[Sparrow Racing League]], which will not be making a return to [[Destiny]]. There will not be an increase in the maximum [[Light]] level that [[Guardian]]s can achieve,<ref name="reddit"/> but there will be additional loot and PvE content added into the game,<ref name="reddit"/> including updated Raid rewards.<ref name="reddit"/>

There will also be a 13-page Record Book to keep track of your [[Guardian]]'s achievements and to commemorate your legacy throughout the last three years. Players that have played [[Destiny]] since the first three months of the game's release will be awarded with an exclusive emblem that celebrates their dedication, as well as receiving a code for redeeming a t-shirt with your [[Guardian]]s Gamertag/PSN ID on it upon reaching rank seven in the Age of Triumph record book.<ref name="reddit"/>

===Story Missions===

A weekly [[Story]] mission playlist will be available with a recommended Light level of 380. It will feature up 3 [[Modifiers|modifiers]] at once. Guardians will earn [[Legendary Marks]] for up to 5 times a week and a [[Treasure of Ages]] for up to once a week.

Once a month, the Weekly Nightfall [[Strike]] playlist will feature a new modifier by the name of Daybreak, which will drastically increase the recharge rate of grenade, melee, and [[Super]] abilities similar to the Mayhem [[Crucible]] modifier. The recommended [[Light]] level for this playlist will remain at 380. There were a few reinvented versions of some strikes such as [[The Nexus]], [[The Shadow Thief]], and [[The Summoning Pits]], which include new mechanics, textures and rewards. There were no new strikes added into the game with Age of Triumph.

All four [[Raid]]s will have a brand-new node featuring a [[Light]] level increase to 390, and there will be new challenge modes as well as a chance to earn additional loot, as well as exclusive emblems that drop once players complete the challenges. There is still much to learn about what kinds of new loot will be available once the event goes live,<ref name="reddit"/> but there have been confirmations in relation to the return of primary weapon elemental burns (They will be separate weapons from their legendary counterparts, but have the same perks as them), weapons from Year 1 being brought up to relevant [[Light]] levels, and so on. In addition, a weekly featured [[Raid]] playlist will be available. When a raid has been selected for the playlist, the Heroic modifier and all raid challenge modes will be activated and players will be able to earn exclusive ornaments for [[Raid]] gear that can be applied to any piece of raid gear from any hard mode (380 or 390) version of any raid. Raid ornaments dropped from [[Crota's End]] can be put on [[Vault of Glass]] gear, and so on. There is an entire section dedicated to keeping track of your raid achievements as well so that players can know what they should do next.

Besides the new raid modes, there will also be a weekly [[Challenge of the Elders]] playlist available with a recommended [[Light]] level of 390. An [[Elders' Sigil]] is still required to participate in this activity, which can be acquired in [[The Reef]] from [[Variks, The Loyal]]. [[Guardian]]s will be awarded Legendary Marks for up 3 times a week and a [[Legendary]] [[Engram]] for up to once a week.

There will be some balancing changes coming out with the Age of Triumph having to do with the concerns surrounding special ammo changes that went live in patch 2.5.0.2, including that ammo for special weapons now drops directly into the magazine like heavy ammo, the flinch on the [[No Land Beyond]] will be increased, range drop-off on [[Hand Cannon]]s will be furthered by another 3 meters sooner, and that the [[Memory of Skorri]] now requires a kill to activate the super fast-charge, and only lasts for one minute at a time before resetting if the player using it doesn't keep getting kills. The change affects both PvE and PvP.

There will be some new [[Weapons]] and [[Armor]] coming out with the new event, most of which will be related to the new, revamped versions of Raids,<ref name="reddit"/> and they'll drop up at 390 and up to the Light-level cap.<ref name="reddit"/> Some of these weapons have two versions: [[Legendary]] and [[Exotic]]. The exotic versions of the weapons [[Fatebringer]], [[Abyss Defiant]] and the [[Fang of Ir Yût]] are some of the new weapons being re-introduced into the ecosystem, among others. Other exotics such as the [[Vex Mythoclast]] are also being made available to earn once again through the new raid modes, including earning adept weapons with elemental burns applied from completing raid challenge modes. Only the adept versions of the new raid weapons will come with elemental damage burns, and the [[Legendary]] versions will remain kinetic. The new armor that will drop from the new raids will also be raised to relevant light levels, and will come with slots for optional ornaments to be applied. The ornaments only drop after completing the challenge modes to a particular encounter. the last notable section of the new loot pool are the new emblems that drop from completing raid challenge modes in the 390 versions. These can also be used to complete one section of the new Age of Triumph record book if a player acquires a certain number of them.

===Trivia===

*The new Age of Triumph record book will have one page dedicated to each class, as well as pages for each of the new raids, the [[Trials of Osiris]], collecting weapons, armor cosmetics, etc,. Completing the book (reaching rank 7) will reward players with a code for a shirt emblazoned with the logo for the Age of Triumph on it, with the Gamertag/PSN ID of your Guardian on it as well as an optional extra for no charge. The shirt requires that players complete their record book by September 1st and costs $24.99 + tax and shipping.

*Players who first played Destiny within the first three months of launch (September through December 2014) will receive a special emblem to commemorate their status and cement bragging rights.

*Bungie's raid developers have said in the Age of Triumph live streams that the challenge mode for [[Atheon, Time's Conflux]] is the toughest one they've ever made.
