You may encounter a frustrating message in Destiny 2: Forsaken, saying, “You lack an offering.”
This means that you need a particular item called an offering to present to the Oracle and receive rewards and quests.

How To Make An Offering?
You can use an Offering to start an encounter in the Altars of Summoning activity in Destiny 2: Season of the Witch.
You need an Offering to participate in this activity and earn rewards such as Dreaming City gear, exclusive mods, and more.
To make an offering, you must complete waves of Blind Well in the Dreaming City.
This lets players make progress on the “Gateway Between Worlds” bounty.
The Offering to the Oracle is a reward from this bounty. Thus, you’ll need 40 Dark Fragments to purchase the bounty.
Once you have the Offering to the Oracle, you can present it to the Oracle to acquire reissued Dreaming City gear and an exclusive mod.
You Lack An Offering In Destiny 2
Sometimes, you may encounter a bug that prevents you from presenting the Offering to the Oracle Engine.
You may see the message “You lack an offering” even if you have the Offering in your inventory.
This bug happens if you claim the bounty while not in the Dreaming City or leave the Dreaming City before using the Offering.
Fixes To You Lack An Offering
To fix this bug, you can try the following solutions:
1. Reload The Area
Reload the area by going to orbit and returning to the Oracle Engine.
This solution may work if the bug is caused by a temporary glitch in the game’s connection or loading.
By going to orbit and coming back, you may refresh the game’s state and allow the Oracle Engine to recognize your Offering.
2. Close And Reopen The Game
Close and reopen the game and try again. This solution may work if a corrupted or outdated game file causes the bug.
By closing and reopening the game, you may force the game to update or repair any damaged data and fix the bug.
3. Complete Another Dreaming City Bounty
Complete another Dreaming City bounty and claim it while in the Dreaming City, then return to the Oracle Engine.
This solution may work if the bounty and offering mismatch causes the bug.
Contrarily, this triggers the game to register your Offering correctly and allow you to use it.
4. Claim The Bounty
Claim the bounty before the Oracle Engine; it will work if a location-based issue causes the bug.
However, you may avoid any potential problems with the game’s tracking of your Offering and ensure you can present it.
The Bottom Line
To conclude, “You lack an offering” means completing the Gateway Between Worlds bounty from Petra Venj.
This will reward you with Dreaming City gear, a Purification Ritual quest, and a Transcendent Blessing mod.
As a result, it will remove the Riven’s’ Curse from the Reverie armor.
However, you may encounter a bug preventing you from presenting the Offering, which can be fixed by following possible solutions.
