What Does the Curio of the Nine Do in Destiny 2?

If you've been grinding Destiny 2 Episode: Heresy, you've probably come across the Curio of the Nine. Here's what it does.

Destiny 2 players are finally able to dive into another Episode with the release of Heresy. However, between excitement around the Star Wars items and new activities, a mystery is forming around a strange material in the game. So, what does the Curio of the Nine do in Destiny 2?

What Is Curio of the Nine in Destiny 2?

As you progress through Heresy, the third Final Shape release, you’re going to come across all kinds of new items, including new and old weapons. However, some players are discovering a strange material in their inventory called Curio of the Nine. Its description reads, “An enigmatic token of favor, containing markings of the Nine.”

The Nine, of course, are the strange beings that control Unknown Space, but despite the Curio of the Nine being tied to their lore, there’s not much else to go on. In fact, investigating the item in your inventory reveals that “The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…”

So, the Nine are keeping everything close to the vest and forcing players to head to the internet to find answers. And that may be fun for players who are super invested in Destiny 2‘s lore and want to take in as much as possible, but it’s a bit of a nuisance to those who like to keep their inventory nice and organized and just want to focus on the action.
