2019 Candy Trading Quest

One of the hold outs from the original Festival of the Lost is the Candy Trading quest. This involves starting at one NPC and eventually working your way back to that same NPC, swapping candy each time with another that might be interested in the item you just got. In the original Destiny this quest chain more or less died at Eris Morn who gave you a Box of Raisins… and nobody wanted a box of Raisins. This year it begins with Eris on the moon who still has her raisins. However it turns out that maybe the Spider in the Tangled Shore is interested. This kicks off a chain of events and mini quests that require some candy and some of the ever so important Chocolate Strange Coins. Since I had not really seen a run down of the sequence I thought I would create one this morning.

Spider – The Tangled Shore

Spider gives you the quest called Even Handed, which requires the following kills with any weapon or ability.

  • 12 Scorn
  • 12 Fallen
  • 12 Cabal
  • 12 Hive

Handing in the quest will give you an item that you then need to take to Ana Bray.

Ana Bray – Mars

Ana will give you the quest Armed to the Teeth which requires you to get kills with different types of weapons while on Mars.

  • 10 Power Weapon
  • 10 Energy Weapon
  • 10 Kinetic

Turning in will give you an item that a certain gensym scholar might like.

Asher Mir – Io

Asher will give you the Precisely quest that asks you to make precision kills on two different types of mobs that appear on Io.

  • 10 Precision Vex Kills
  • 10 Precision Taken Kills

Asher will give you an item that he thinks the Followers of Osiris might like.

Brother Vance – Mercury

Brother Vance asks you to make kills with specific elements with the In Your Element quest. These can be done with abilities or with elemental weapons.

  • 10 Void Kills
  • 10 Arc Kills
  • 10 Solar Kills

When you turn in he gives you some Splice Drops that look pretty and taste horrible, aka the perfect candy for an AI.

Failsafe – Nessus

Failsafe is going to give you the Touched by the Light quest which asks you to defeat enemies with your abilities. Since my hammer throws are easily repeatable by reclaiming the hammer each time I used this to get through the quest quickly.

  • 5 Cabal Ability Kills
  • 5 Vex Ability Kills
  • 5 Fallen Ability Kills

Failsafe gives you a treat that maybe your friend in the EDZ might like.

Devrim Kay – EDZ

Devrim tarts the Foregone Conclusions quest which asks you to perform finishers on mobs of various types. To get Fallen I went into the Hallowed Grave lost sector in The Sludge.

  • 5 Taken Finishers
  • 5 Cabal Finishers
  • 5 Fallen Finishers

Upon turning in you get a piece of candy fit for someone in the dreaming city, and off we go to there.

Petra Venj – The Dreaming City

Petra gives us the quest The Best of My Abilities and asks us to do a number of specific ability kills.

  • 5 Melee Kills
  • 5 Grenade Kills
  • 10 Super Kills

After turning in we get a piece of candy that sees us travelling over to Titan.

Sloane – Titan

Sloan wants us to help clean up the rig and gives us the Not In Our House quest asking for kills in specific regions of the rig.

  • 30 Kills in Solarium Region
  • 15 Kills in Festering Halls Region
  • 15 Kills in Arboretum Region

This sends us back to Eris with some candy we think she might like.

Eris Morn – Moon

This quest asks us to equip a specific dance and dance in front of Eris with The Dance of My People quest. This is the dance that we got as kinderguardians and likely no longer have equipped. For each race use the following dances:

  • Human: City Dance
  • Awoken: Graceful Dance
  • Exo: Popping Dance

Satisfied with our performance she hands us a bag of goodies… that includes a toothbrush because she is that kind of killjoy.

I am not sure if this is a fixed number of items in the pouch or if this varies. In my particular satchel I got the following items.

  • 5 Fright Night Shaders
  • 5 Chocolate Strange Coins
  • 3 Enhancement Cores
  • 1 Toothbrush

I also got an achievement unlock as part of it, so for me at least it was worth the extreme time sink. Additionally each step of the quest rewarded a couple of the chocolate strange coins and you need a silly number of those to get all of the masks required to get the new auto rifle.

  1. Thanks for the guide, Bel.

    Much appreciated. I’ll work on that in between Haunted Forest runs. As long as I’m getting a constant stream of experience to help move my seasonal level, I don’t care what I’m running.

      • Right behind you at 81.75. A bounty should ding me 82.

        Finished this off today during breaks. Wasn’t that time consuming, plus I made sure to grab the bounties planet-side first so I could make the most of the time.
