Destiny 2's new Tome of Want system offers players a more streamlined approach to obtaining specific loot, replacing the previous Tonic system from Revenant. This upgrade brings several key improvements to targeted gear acquisition.

The Tome of Want system works through:

• Essence of Desire: Earned by completing Heresy activities
• Rituals: Specify which rewards you want to pursue
• Scriptures: Define available rewards and track progress
• Progress through defeating powerful enemies and activity completion

Key improvements over the Tonic system:

• Inventory-based system (no physical location required)
• Single resource system (Essence of Desire)
• More straightforward targeting mechanism
• Integrated Tome Engravings that enhance Artifact Perks

The system allows players to focus on specific weapons, armor, or currencies while still earning general loot drops during gameplay. Tome Engravings activate automatically during active rituals, streamlining the previous Volatile Tonics system.

Players can upgrade their Tome to increase rewards from individual rituals. While the Artifact Perk enhancement system still feels somewhat redundant, the overall targeted loot system promises a more efficient grinding experience for players seeking specific gear.
