Okay I'll type it out again.... Strikes drop loot. Loot is higher light Strikes also drop engrams. Engrams decrypt higher light Decrypting each engram one at a time and equipping items increases your max light thus causing the next few engrams to decrypt higher and this continues on and on You also pop a three of coins each strike. This gives exotics. More strikes and repeat with blue engrams ------------------------------------------ Everything above this line takes about 2-3 hours total if you're a competent player that knows how to speed run Save all legendaries until 370 and decrypt one at a time Do heroic strikes / nightfall Do crucible Do archons forge Save all exotic engrams until you're 389+ You don't need to time it it's common knowledge that strikes take 5-10 minutes to speed run and on average a strike gives 3 reward and 2-3 blue engrams 2 hours is 120 minutes 120/10 is a MINIMUM of 12 strikes That's 36 rewards and about 36 blue engrams Then every blue you decrypt will be 2-3 points higher and you do that one at a time this increasing your gain
