Focused Decoding

Players can acquire Exotic Engrams that are stored in their Engrams inventory. These can be decrypted into random Exotic items by Master Rahool through a menu that appears on top of his vendor screen. By closing this menu, players can save their Exotic Engrams and access the Focused Decoding screen, where they can focus them into Exotic armor.

Note: new Exotic armor items will not be available for Focused Decoding until the season after they are added to the game.

The Focused Decoding menu provides two types of decryption: "Advanced Decryption" and "Precision Decryption".

Advanced Decryption

Advanced Decryption gives a random Exotic armor item from one of several smaller pools. For example, Beyond Light Armor Decryption will only drop Exotic armor from Year 4. Each option requires that the player own its associated expansion (if any), as well as have acquired all of that engram's contents for the current class in Collections. These engram options can be inspected to view their contents.

The following options are available for Advanced Decryption. Each Advanced Decryption option costs 1 Exotic Engram, 30,000, and 1 Ascendant Shard to focus.

• Red War Helm Decryption;
• Red War Chest Decryption;
• Red War Arms Decryption;
• Red War Leg Decryption;
• Forsaken Armor Decryption — Requires Forsaken Pack;
• Shadowkeep Armor Decryption — Requires Shadowkeep;
• Beyond Light Armor Decryption — Requires Beyond Light;
• Witch Queen Armor Decryption — Requires The Witch Queen;
• Lightfall Armor Decryption — Requires Lightfall.

Precision Decryption

Precision Decryption allows players to focus specific Exotic armor items at a higher price. This includes any items within the Advanced Decryption engrams.

In order to focus an item, it must be unlocked in Collections. Although players will usually need to own an expansion in order to acquire a specific item, owning an item's associated expansion is technically not a requirement for Precision Decryption. This means that, if the player obtains it through other means (for example, Ikora Rey's subclass mastery quests, or limited-time promotions), an Exotic armor item can be focused through Precision Decryption without owning its associated DLC.

Focusing an item through Precision Decryption costs 1 Exotic Engram, 60,000, 3 Ascendant Shards, and 1 Exotic Cipher.

Services

Master Rahool offers a variety of other services.

Decrypt Engrams

While players decrypt most of the engrams they find on their own or at other vendors, only Master Rahool can open Prime Engrams and focusable Exotic Engrams. Rahool can also decrypt Umbral Engrams, Gambit Engrams, and Iron Engrams that may remain in the player's Engrams inventory.

Quests

Vaulted

These quests are no longer available.

• Daily Business
• Reach Power Level 900
• Seasonal Focusing — Removed in the Season of Defiance.

Notes

• Some Legendary Engrams from the Leviathan raids could only be decrypted by Rahool.
• Prior to the Season of the Splicer, Rahool had a Shader Recycling service, which allowed players to dismantle Shaders in stacks of 5.
• Prior to the Season of the Risen, Rahool sold Legendary Engrams that gave weapons and armor at the current Power Level floor.
• The Glimmer and material exchange services were originally fulfilled by the Spider, but were moved to Rahool when the Tangled Shore was vaulted.
• During the Season of the Risen, Rahool would allow players to purchase 10,000 for 20 Etheric Spiral (the destination material from the Tangled Shore). This option was removed after the start of the Season of the Haunted.
• Rahool previously exchanged destination materials for Glimmer, and sold materials for Legendary Shards. After destination materials were deprecated in Version 6.3.0 in the Season of the Seraph, players could still exchange materials for Glimmer, albeit at a lesser rate. Material costs for items such as Masterwork materials were also removed.
• After Amanda Holliday was removed from the Tower in the Season of Defiance, her wares were moved to Rahool, including her Ships, Sparrows, Transmat Effect exchange, and Prime Gaming rewards.
• With the addition of the Special Deliveries kiosk in the Season of the Witch, various rewards were moved to from Rahool that vendor. This includes pre-order bonuses, "Secret Stash" rewards, and Prime Gaming rewards.
• As of the Season of the Witch, Transmat Effects can no longer be reacquired from Collections as inventory items. As a result, Rahool's "Reconfigure Flair" service, giving a random Legendary Transmat Effect in exchange for a stack of three Rare Transmat Effects, appears to have been deprecated.
  • By reclaiming Rare Transmat Effects from Collections and then dismantling the Legendary Effects obtained from Rahool, this could be used as a slow and somewhat tedious method for converting Glimmer into Legendary Shards.
