Moon Armor: Set Bonuses
The Moon’s Armor sets, the Dreambane sets, also received a significant update to include Tiers and dedicated set bonuses:
- 2 Piece | Nightmarish Power: Final blows dealt to a challenging combatant or higher-ranked target grant Unstable Essence. While you hold Unstable Essence, you receive passive grenade and melee stat bonuses.
- 4 Piece | Nightmarish Resilience: While you hold the Unstable Essence buff, landing rapid weapon damage or securing quick final blows heals you and triggers health regeneration

Destiny 2 Moon weapons farm: Where to find them
Farming weapons in Destiny 2 is often difficult due to low drop rates and/or having too many weapons drop from the same sources. But luckily, Moon weapons are easy to target-farm. Thanks to the Lectern of Enchantment, you can actively target the weapon you want and work towards it.
Lectern of Enchantment farming
The Lectern of Enchantment is a vendor located in the Moon, next to Eris Morn. There, you can grab weekly, daily, and repeatable bounties. But more importantly, you can find Nightmare Essences, which are special bounties that reward Moon weapons and armor.

Each Nightmare Essence has slightly different requirements, including kills with specific weapons, activity completions, and Phantasmal Cores.
To farm the weapon you’re interested in, all you need to do is purchase the right Nightmare Essence and complete it:
| Weapon | Nightmare Essence | Requirements |

Completing activities on the Moon will steadily reward you with Phantasmal Cores, but if you happen to be out of Cores, you can also get more from the Lectern of Enchantment.
