Lumia Leaf is the most valuable currency in Destiny: Rising. This premium resource lets you pull on limited-time banners featuring new characters. You can spend it on other things, but you should save it exclusively for limited banner heroes that match your playstyle.
All Methods to Acquire Lumia Leaf
The game gives you multiple ways to get Lumia Leaf, from completely free methods to paid options. Here's every confirmed method for obtaining this premium currency.
Tree of Lights Blessing (Monthly Subscription)
This monthly subscription service provides premium currencies, including Lumia Leaf. You'll find it in the Store under the Subscription tab.
After purchasing the subscription, you need to log in each day to claim your allocated currency rewards. This subscription offers very good value for money compared to other purchase options.
Destination Exploration
Exploring specific locations in the game world lets you discover chests containing Lumia Leaf. Jiangshi Metro is one confirmed exploration destination where you can find this currency.
There are two chest types to look for:
- Golden Age Legacy Chests: These specialized chests serve as excellent sources for Lumia Leaf acquisition.
- Normal Chests: Standard chests that spawn randomly throughout exploration areas also contain Lumia Leaf.
To make the most of exploration, thoroughly search available destinations and prioritize opening Golden Age Legacy chests when you find them. Stay alert for randomly spawning normal chests during your exploration sessions.
Triumphs System
The Triumphs system is an achievement-based reward structure that grants Lumia Leaf for completing specific in-game accomplishments. You can access the Triumphs tab from the Homepage.
The interface displays completed achievements that haven't been claimed yet. You need to manually claim these rewards to receive the Lumia Leaf. Completed Triumphs don't automatically grant rewards, so regular checks ensure you don't miss available currency you've already earned through gameplay.
Campaign Mission Completion
Progressing through the game's story missions provides a reliable source of Lumia Leaf. Each campaign mission typically rewards you with some quantity upon successful completion.
Campaign missions give you a one-time source of Lumia Leaf while also advancing your understanding of game mechanics and story.
Handbook Challenges
The Handbook contains a collection of specific challenges that reward Lumia Leaf when completed. Check your Handbook to view all available challenges for your character.
In-Game Mail Rewards
Free Lumia Leaf gets distributed through the mail system. Completed surveys can result in Lumia Leaf being sent to your in-game mailbox.
Check your in-game mail regularly to collect any available Lumia Leaf before rewards potentially expire. Mail rewards require manual claiming and may have expiration timers, so regular mail checks prevent losing free currency.
Bounty System (Daily and Weekly)
Bounties are repeatable tasks that refresh on daily and weekly schedules. Daily Bounties reset every day, providing regular opportunities to earn Lumia Leaf. Weekly Bounties reset weekly and likely offer larger rewards for a more substantial time investment.
Bounty completion is an excellent method for earning Lumia Leaf, suggesting favorable reward-to-effort ratios. Prioritize completing both daily and weekly bounties to maximize your recurring income.
The Shifting Gates (PvPvE Mode)
The Shifting Gates is Destiny: Rising's PvPvE competitive mode. Ranking up within this mode rewards Lumia Leaf.
You'll need to spend time in this mode to progress through ranks and earn rewards. Unlike one-time rewards, ranking progression in PvPvE modes typically provides ongoing incentives for continued participation.
Limited-Time Events
Temporary events run for specific durations and offer Lumia Leaf as participation or completion rewards. The game regularly runs these events, making them a recurring source of currency.
Confirmed examples include:
- New Light Challenges: An ongoing event that rewards Lumia Leaf
- Wolf's Ascension: Another ongoing event offering Lumia Leaf rewards
Monitor the events interface and prioritize participation in active events to maximize your currency acquisition from this source.
Silver Purchase (Real Money)
This two-step purchase process lets you acquire Lumia Leaf with real money. First, purchase Silver using real money. Then exchange the Silver for Lumia Leaf.
This option is for players willing to invest money to accelerate progression or guarantee specific character acquisitions.
Strategic Spending Recommendations
Current Banner Considerations
Tan-2 is obtainable through the fixed Banner using Bon Voyage tokens rather than Lumia Leaf. This matters because Tan-2 functions as a powerful support character. Support characters in gacha games typically maintain relevance longer than damage-focused specialists because their utility-based kits remain valuable even as raw damage numbers inflate with new character releases.
Since Tan-2 provides strong support capabilities without requiring Lumia Leaf investment, you can preserve your reserves for future limited characters while still building a viable roster.
General Spending Philosophy
In gacha game ecosystems, newer characters frequently outperform older ones as developers introduce escalating power levels to maintain player engagement and spending. This is the power creep problem.
Reserve Lumia Leaf for characters that either fill critical gaps in your current roster composition, offer unique mechanics that align with your preferred playstyle, or demonstrate exceptional long-term viability (such as versatile support characters).
Maximizing Your Lumia Leaf Income
For Beginner Players
Priority focus:
- Complete all available campaign missions for one-time Lumia Leaf rewards

- Explore Jiangshi Metro and other available destinations to open Golden Age Legacy chests

Common Questions and Clarifications
