Renewal Grasps - Warlock:
Osmiomancy Gloves or 
Secant Filaments
- Titan:
A Higher Truth emblem (rewarded from "The Witch Queen—Legendary" triumph)
Notes
- The Power Level of the Exotic armor item chosen depends on the player's current Power Level. The Rare bundle will always be at 1520 Power, regardless of the player's Power Level.
- An Exotic armor item cannot be claimed if the player's inventory for that armor slot is full.
- The Exotic armor item chosen will have the default Collections stat roll, which has a relatively low total stat value compared to possible rolls received from random drops.
- Choosing an Exotic armor item will add it to the general Exotic Engram loot pool, allowing higher stat rolls to be obtained as rare drops from other activities.
- The Exotic armor items can also be obtained from Legend and Master difficulty Lost Sectors.
- Choosing an Exotic armor item will make it less likely to drop from Lost Sectors, as the loot pool prioritizes items that are not in Collections. Despite this, Legend and Master Lost Sectors can still be a viable method for farming higher stat rolls of these items.
- If this quest is completed by playing through the campaign on Classic difficulty, finishing the campaign on Legendary later will still allow the player to obtain all of the Legendary rewards.
- If Ikora disappears from the Enclave and the player has not claimed their Legendary difficulty rewards, the rewards can be claimed from Ikora in the Tower.
