Loot



Loot is the collective term for various items, abilities, and currency that can be found or awarded to the player for completing quests. Before being collected, loot appears in the world as glowing polyhedra. Defeating bosses will reward the player with rare loot, such as exotic weapons and armor. Loot can also be found in chests hidden around the world; many include glimmer, but some also include a piece of gear.
