Levelling 265 and Beyond

Good Morning Guardians [10:30AM UK TIME] By now we should all be familiar with the daily struggle of getting your new character beyond its current level once getting past the dreaded curse of the 265. I've put together a list of tips that will hopefully help you get the best possible results and get on those raids and high level events, enjoy 🤘 ================================== [b]Milestones[/b] Weekly Milestones offer up a rewards called Powerful Gear above your average legendary or rare engrams. This is basically a package that provides legendaries and exotics that drop higher than 265, or usually higher than whatever your current Light level is. [b]Flashpoint[/b] Simply complete public events at the weekly location, triggering Heroic events will increase the percentage quicker [i]see the public heroic events paragraph below for a tip or two more[/i]. [b]Call To Arms[/b] This is your weekly crucible objective where Lord Shaxx somehow convincingly tricks guardians worldwide into fighting each other rather than the actual ruddy enemy! Win or even lose matches in the Crucible, either way taking part will increase your percentage. Winning however will raise the percentage quicker. [b]Nightfall[/b] Your weekly dose of a hard mode strike with added soul destroying modifiers and enemies that just don't die and have shields that are [i]always[/i] immune. Don't forget your stress ball for this one. You will however be rewarded 'powerful gear' on completion, [b]HAZAAR[/b]. [b]Clan XP[/b] Weekly challenges for clans. I personally have found that the best way to raise Clan XP quickly is to do patrols and miscellaneous story missions, in the time it takes to complete one strike for 500 XP you can likely complete several patrols for 250 XP each. There are also 4 'powerful gear' engrams per clan each week for completing the nightfall, a win in crucible, the raid and trials of the nine. ================================== [b]Public Heroic Events[/b] Buy and activate a Fireteam Medallion from Eververse [dismantle some bright engram rewards if you need some bright dust] and complete multiple Public Heroic Events to farm for Exotic Engrams. While they can drop from any activity, I’ve personally had the best luck with this tactic. Exotics tend to drop higher than your current Light level, so they’re a really good way to increase your overall power. ================================== [b]Level Up Vanguard Rep[/b] Whilst you can level up all vendors, they tend to have a very strict cap on the legendary gear they give you [i]usually five points less than your current light level[/i]. Ikora Rey and Commander Zavala's however tend to dish out some of the better goods. [b]Commander Zavala[/b] [spoiler]AKA the one with the big purple head that stands at the end of the tower reminiscing the good 'ole days[/spoiler] Run some Vanguard Strikes and collect as many Vanguard Tactician Tokens as you can. Then turn these into Zavala in exchange for some juicy rewards. More often than not he’ll give you two items, one that follows the cap, and one that’s higher thanks to a legendary mod. Use that new item, or infuse it into something else, to steadily increase your light level. [b]Ikora Rey[/b] [spoiler]AKA the miserable one who never stops bloody moaning or crying about old times, she even makes you complete missions again, emotional or what?!![/spoiler] Complete any random milestone you get from her daily. Also, each week make sure to complete her Meditations for some Tokens. You can then turn these in for some gear that looks like the starter gear but higher levels rewards. ================================== Hopefully using these tips will be useful in helping you to get the best possible character ready for high level end game content. ================================== [quote]Clan Founder and Sumerian Brethren of the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/ClanV2?groupid=936311]Sumerian Order[/url] Ash : [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/9538376/itsASHB]itsASHB[/url][/quote]

  • I just made 3 titans so I could get more stuff for that character. Now he's 305 with every set up I like except for my new favorite PvP set up. I plan on making two hunters so I can rank them up faster before I make my warlock.
