The new episode of Destiny 2, Heresy, brings with it tons of new ways to get loot and rank up throughout the next several weeks' worth of activities, but looking at the two vendors can be a little complicated. Here's how to get rewards from both the Shaping Slab and the Tome of Want in Destiny 2 Episode Heresy, as well as how to obtain and use a new material, Essence of Desire.

How to use the Shaping Slab

The Path of Resolve Shaping Slab is found in the HELM inside of Eris Morn's apartment in the back corner. This stone monolithic structure is basically the season's vendor for Heresy. Turning in Engrams for the season, unlocking rewards, and increasing reputation with this vendor is all done here.

The key new features of this vendor are Runic Enhancement and the Mysterium. Runic Enhancement is basically a reward path that is unlocked using Sigil Shards earned from Nether activities that give players additional benefits while inside Heresy activities, including Nether runs. These buffs and changes to gameplay include additional healing options, increasing Sigil Shard drops from any sources, and the ability to deal more damage. The Enhancement Level of the Shaping Slab determines the maximum power of runes that can be slotted into the enhancements and is increased for every two reputation ranks earned. So the more levels players have at the Shaping Slab, the more Runic Enhancements they can slot in. Runic Enhancements can also be changed during a Nether run at any time. Find a green glowing skull icon and interact with it to slot in different Runic Enhancements.
