How to Farm Warlords Ruin for Loot

Warlord’s Ruin is farmable, allowing you to run it as many times as you want each week to get its loot. However, the Dungeon Exotic, Buried Bloodline, can only be obtained once per character each week.

icon To farm the WR dungeon:

  1. Clear the Warlord’s Ruin on your first character until you reach the encounter you want to farm.
  2. Start the encounter and wipe.
  3. Have your Fireteam wait while you switch to another character that hasn’t run the dungeon that week.
  4. Rejoin the Fireteam, wipe again, and your second character will now hold the checkpoint.
  5. Repeat this process as needed to farm the encounter until the weekly reset.
