Quests

Subclass Quests

Ikora offers quests that will unlock the two Light subclasses that the player's class does not start with. Each quest also rewards a class-specific emblem. A quest can be acquired even if the player already has the relevant subclass unlocked.

• Gazing Into The Abyss – Unlocks Void subclasses for Titans and Hunters;
• Riding the Storm – Unlocks Arc subclasses for Hunters and Warlocks;
• Stoking The Flame – Unlocks Solar subclasses for Titans and Warlocks.

Subclass Mastery Quests

After unlocking all three Light subclasses for their character's class, the player can acquire three additional quests from Ikora. Partially completing a quest will reward an Exotic armor item that synergizes with the subclass, which must then be used to finish the quest. The final reward will be a curated roll of a specific Legendary weapon.

• Exalting the Flame – Rewards:
  • Titan: Synthoceps (Exotic Gauntlets);
  • Hunter: Young Ahamkara's Spine (Exotic Gauntlets);
  • Warlock: Starfire Protocol (Exotic Chest Armor);

Grow Your Light

After the player unlocks a subclass, they can purchase upgrades and abilities for that subclass from Ikora using Glimmer. After purchasing items from Ikora, the player must meditate by interacting with the device on the shelf to the right in order to finish unlocking them.

Notes

• Prior to Shadowkeep, Ikora could be found on the Farm after completion of the Fury mission. She moved to the Tower after completing the Red War campaign.
• Prior to Forsaken Ikora used to handle Meditations, replayable story missions which awarded Upgrade Points and Vanguard Research Tokens. The Tokens could be given to Ikora in exchange for Vanguard Research Engrams and individual armor pieces from them.
• During the Season of the Undying, Ikora acted as the seasonal vendor.
• Ikora appears during The Witch Queen campaign as an NPC in the Enclave, accessed from the Savathûn's Throne World map. After completing the campaign, she will no longer appear here.
  • If the player did not claim their Legendary campaign rewards before Ikora left the Enclave, they can be claimed from her in the Tower.

Patch History

• 7.2.0.2
  • Fixed an issue where the vendor UI would display during conversations with Ikora.
• 7.2.0.1
  • Relive the past. Ikora offers a Timeline Reflections quest to help new and lapsed players get caught up on major story beats by replaying three key moments: Cayde’s Fate from Forsaken, Communing with Stasis from Beyond Light, and the Lucent Hive from The Witch Queen. Includes new cinematics and rewards for new players to quickly get up to speed before The Final Shape.
  • Fixed an issue where some players were unable to purchase Void Fragments from Ikora until they had purchased at least two Void Aspects.
  • Fixed an issue where Ikora was saying an incorrect line for purchasing a Fragment if a player hasn’t unlocked Aspects for that subclass.
• 5/26/23
  • Fixed an issue allowing players to acquire duplicate rewards from the Subclass Mastery quests.
• 7.1.0
  • UNLISTED: Three "Subclass Mastery" quests (Exalting the Flame, Taming the Storm, and Into the Abyss) have been added to Ikora. They can be acquired after unlocking all three Light-based subclasses for a specific class.
• 6.2.5
  • Fixed an issue where some icons were displaying with the wrong background at Ikora.
• 6.2.0
  • Arc Subclasses
    • Reworked to fit the Subclass 3.0 system. There are too many individual systemic changes to list here, but the Arc subclasses now use the Aspect and Fragment system used by Stasis, Void, and Solar.
    • UNLISTED: Ikora now sells upgrades to the Arc subclasses under "Grow Your Light".
• 4.1.0
  • Solar Subclasses:
    • Reworked to fit the Subclass 3.0 system, in particular: Solar subclasses now use the Aspect and Fragment system used by Stasis and Void.
  • New Light Solar 3.0 updates:
    • New Hunter characters will start with the reworked Solar 3.0 subclass.
    • New Titan and Warlock characters will start with Void 3.0 subclasses.
    • Subclasses you have not acquired are available after finishing the A Guardian Rises questline and talking with Ikora Rey during the A Spark of Hope quest.
  • New Hunter characters will start with Solar subclass abilities intended to be more friendly and appealing to new players. Additional abilities may be unlocked by purchasing them from Ikora in the Tower and completing meditation
• 4.0.0.1
  • From her overlook in the Tower Bazaar, Ikora will now teach all classes the Void abilities, Aspects, and Fragments they have yet to unlock on their character.
    • However, easily learning new Void abilities comes with a cost: each new ability learned requires large quantities of reprogrammable matter (Glimmer) and a nearby meditation device to expedite the process.
  • Returning characters with a Void subclass will have the majority of their abilities unlocked upon character login.
    • Grenades that were not accessible to a class prior to The Witch Queen launch will still need to be learned from Ikora.
  • For new characters, Ikora will offer quests to earn their Solar and Arc subclasses once they have reached her step in the A Spark of Hope questline.
