How to cite this study
LFCarry is a game-services marketplace. This study reads every card-paid order on that marketplace for the year ending 29 August 2026: 9,176 orders, $572,772 in buyer-paid US dollars. Destiny 2 is 6,415 of those orders and $337,252: 70% of volume, 59% of dollars. The other large book is World of Warcraft ($81,611 across 663 orders, $123 average ticket). Apex, Tarkov, Division 2 and the rest are a long tail.
Money here is a confirmed card charge. Unpaid carts and store-credit payments are left out. No buyer identities, emails, or order codes appear on this page.
1. Half of Destiny 2 carries finish inside a day
On 4,575 Destiny 2 jobs with a Pro completion timestamp after payment (71% of the paid D2 book):
| Hours after payment | Value |
|---|---|
| 25th percentile | 7.2 |
| Median | 23.0 |
| 75th percentile | 70.6 |
| Finished in 24 hours | 51.4% |
| Finished in 48 hours | 67.6% |
| Finished in 7 days | 87.7% |
| Still open past 30 days | 2.7% |
The mean is 105 hours. Quote the median. A thin tail of jobs that sit for weeks pulls the mean around.
| Activity | Median hours | Share done in 24h | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|
 Equilibrium dungeon (standard) | 10.9 | 74% | 246 |
| Dungeons (class) | 14.3 | 66% | 533 |
 Pantheon 2.0 | 19.8 | 58% | 274 |
 Trials Flawless | 20.4 | 56% | 321 |
| Contest-mode dungeon | 20.0 | 55% | 91 |
 Desert Perpetual raid | 26.6 | 46% | 328 |
| Raids (class) | 30.0 | 42% | 886 |
| Light / power leveling | 166 | 10% | 51 |
A dungeon is an evening. A raid is a day. A 450 to 550 light climb is a week. Contest still lands on a 20-hour median. The contest premium shows up on the ticket.
2. Carry demand follows Bungie's calendar
Destiny 2 paid orders by month:
| Month | Orders | Paid USD |
|---|---|---|
| 2025-02 (Episode: Heresy launch) | 3,646 | $196,601 |
| 2025-07 (The Edge of Fate) | 2,327 | $152,567 |
| 2025-09 | 494 | $28,666 |
| 2026-03 | 179 | $8,514 |
| 2026-04 | 159 | $8,718 |
| 2026-05 | 196 | $11,977 |
| 2026-06 (Pantheon 2.0) | 1,295 | $74,382 |
| 2026-07 | 956 | $50,129 |
| 2026-08 | 392 | $20,144 |
Share of the February 2025 peak (3,646 orders): July 2025 was at 63.8%, June 2026 at 35.5% and May 2026 at 5.4%.
June 2026 is 6.6× May (1,295 vs 196). Pantheon 2.0 itself goes from 3 orders in May to 412 in June.
The same shape showed up a year earlier. Episode: Heresy (February 2025) is the busiest month in the 24-month series: 3,646 paid D2 orders. The Edge of Fate month (July 2025) is the next peak. Then volume sits in the low hundreds until the next named event.
Year-over-year: 6,415 vs 27,706 orders (30 Aug 2024 to 29 Aug 2025), $337k vs $1.40M, a 77% drop in orders. The prior year contains Final Shape's tail, Heresy, and Edge of Fate. This year is 1 event spike on a quiet base. The calendar moves the volume.
3. The current raid is half of all raid orders
Raid-carry orders, 12 months, classified from the primary line on the receipt:
| Raid | Orders | Paid USD | Avg ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desert Perpetual | 580 | $25,415 | $44 |
| Salvation's Edge | 128 | $7,038 | $55 |
| Crota's End | 86 | $4,263 | $50 |
 Vault of Glass | 74 | $3,837 | $52 |
| Last Wish | 56 | $2,005 | $36 |
| Vow of the Disciple | 52 | $1,634 | $31 |
| King's Fall | 50 | $1,469 | $29 |
| Root of Nightmares | 45 | $1,991 | $44 |
| Garden of Salvation | 43 | $1,103 | $26 |
| Deep Stone Crypt | 29 | $800 | $28 |
| All Raids bundle | 16 | $1,904 | $119 |
| Other raid titles | 37 | $3,490 | $94 |
Desert Perpetual is 580 of 1,196 raid orders (48.5%). It outsells the next 4 raids combined (Salvation's Edge + Crota + Vault of Glass + Last Wish = 344). Players pay for the raid in the weekly conversation.
4. Trials is the volume king. Pantheon is the revenue king
Top products (the highest-priced item on each order, discounts skipped):
| Main product | Orders | Paid USD | Avg ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trials of Osiris Flawless Carry | 490 | $14,237 | $29 |
| Desert Perpetual Raid Completion | 446 | $16,793 | $38 |
| Equilibrium Dungeon Boost | 370 | $18,996 | $51 |
| Pantheon 2.0 | 321 | $21,771 | $68 |
| Trials Loot Shower Bundle | 302 | $10,858 | $36 |
| Praxic Blade Boost | 225 | $12,983 | $58 |
Trials (Flawless + Loot Shower) is 843 orders. That is the largest named activity after the seasonal grab-bag, at a $32 average ticket. Pantheon 2.0 is the opposite: fewer receipts than Trials Flawless, more dollars than any other product ($21,771).
Activity mix across 6,312 D2 orders with a classifiable primary line:
| Class | Orders | Paid USD | Avg ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seasonal quests / titles / farms | 1,388 | $87,099 | $63 |
| Raids | 1,176 | $51,397 | $44 |
| Exotic / weapon farms | 1,095 | $59,632 | $54 |
| Trials of Osiris | 843 | $27,117 | $32 |
| Dungeons | 771 | $36,280 | $47 |
| Pantheon | 514 | $35,256 | $69 |
| Campaign / story | 200 | $6,182 | $31 |
| Contest (opening 48h) | 141 | $14,048 | $100 |
| Light / power leveling | 85 | $9,483 | $112 |
| Competitive ranks | 27 | $1,967 | $73 |
Weapon farms (Praxic Blade, Finality's Auger, Icebreaker, Necrochasm, 1K Voices) are a $60k book on their own.
5. Opening-48-hour contest is a 1.7× dungeon and a 5× raid
Same product, contest vs the standard version:
| Product | Orders | Avg ticket |
|---|---|---|
| Equilibrium Dungeon Boost | 370 | $51 |
| Contest Mode Equilibrium | 118 | $88 (1.71×) |
| Desert Perpetual Raid Completion | 446 | $38 |
| Contest Epic Desert Perpetual (opening 48h) | 15 | $194 (5.14×) |
The contest dungeon still finishes on a 20-hour median. The raid contest sample is small (n=15). The $194 figure is a ticket average on a $30 to $480 range. The live Desert Perpetual list on 20 September 2026 starts at $40.
Power leveling is the other expensive quiet product: $112 average on 85 orders, median 166 hours. T-tier cost logic on that climb is T4 at $2 to $3 per hour, which lines up with a 50 to 80 hour week more than a 166-hour tail.

7. What this window covers
This is 1 marketplace. Steam and other boosting sites sit outside the window. Direction is real. Industry share is unmeasured.
Game tags lag new titles. 1,390 orders ($109,567) sit under a generic Other tag (GTA, ARC Raiders, Marvel Rivals, CoD, custom carts) and stay out of the Destiny 2 counts. 103 D2 paid orders had no product we could sort by activity. They stay in the 6,415 and drop out of the mix table.
Completion hours exist for 71% of D2 paid orders. The rest never got a Pro completion stamp we can trust. Those orders stay out of the hour table.
We skipped 2 internal order fields that do not match reality: order status and order total. Every dollar here comes from confirmed card charges.
8. Method in 4 lines
Window: payments from 30 August 2025 to 29 August 2026.
