Luminous Engrams, What you may not know.
[i]Ever wonder how some players seem to zoom by you in light level in seemingly no time? It's like they have a lucky jet pack made of light that they use to crap all over your hopes and dreams. I'm here to tell you that they may be keen on a little known secret about luminous engrams in particular. [/i]
[b]For those of you who may not be aware of the terminology: [/b]Luminous engrams are the rewards from completing weekly milestones.
[b]The jist: [/b] They scale with light level, you don't technically "earn" them until you cash them in.
[b]Why this matters: [/b] Lets say you're light level 310 on Tuesday, and you complete your milestones that day, then cash them all in that day and it brings you to a sweet 316. That's a big jump, but you actually just handicapped yourself for the rest of the week.
[b]Here's why:[/b] You could get even better gear from them if you boost your light via the raid, trials, exotics and by other means such as lucky legendaries. If you raise your base light level before cashing luminous in, you greatly increase your chances to receive even higher light gear during that very same week. I generally wait until Sunday to cash mine in if i'm trying to level light.
Once you've done everything you can do that week, you may then cash those luminous in & enjoy the biggest light boost possible for that week. Originally 310 at the beginning of the week, worked hard to get yourself to a respectable 314 by Sunday. Once you cash them in, you're much more likely to push past that 316 mark & likely into the 320's.
If you find yourself having trouble pushing past a certain light level, cash a single luminous and see if that eliminates a soft cap and allows blues + legendaries to help again.
Good luck & happy leveling!

I agree with everything except the part about exotics...I am 334 on all characters and every exotic I get is equal to my light level... technically I am 329 without mods so exotics drop at 329 then decrypt at 334..same as my current level...they NEVER go above 334 in my case.

1 RispondiBe more concise.
-
2 RisposteOr! You can cash them in when you complete them and do all that other grinding you mentioned, and end up at the same light level. Derp.
-
1 RispondiDude just stop posting, you don't know what you are talking about. That's twice today you've given bad advice out. Getting from 310 to 314 without milestone rewards is a super slow grind. It's best to push it up as quickly as you can. Ignore this person.
-
7 RisposteOf course, none of this means much when you get 4 pairs of Arms Armor, 2 Grenade Launchers, a Sniper Rifle, and a Pulse Rifle.

Modificato da evlwarhed: 12/31/2017 5:14:35 PMTrick I use ( just how I roll anyways, lol) I only use 1 set of weps ( I don't get 1 for each character)( although easier in D2, with God rolls etc it was quite hard to do on D1) The 310-314 u refence( as example) is minor jump imo. If I run 3 peeps, and taking same weps, your level raises faster. U get the highest at all times, which drags the gear drops/ level of regular leg. Engram. I was doing that 4 spread a day at very least. Just a heads up, in case some noobs are trying to lv 3 sets of weps instead I've PLing 1 set and share ✌️ Edit: seemed at 325 ish the PL slowed caused gear had to catch up Great post btw

I'll actually give you 2 bumps because it has nothing to do with eververse.

Who cares dude

Lmao I got to 335 on all characters last week. GG.

1 RispondiThanks for the insightful info for noobs. I'm sure someone can use that. It's now power level, not light level, and I've found that you're actually better off cashing in luminous incrementally to increase your base, supplement and build on that base with legendaries and exotics until another luminous will yet again increase your base, and so on. At this point, this game is a ghost town. Out of a clan of 100, there are less than 10 on the roster at any given time. Considering the next DLC won't drop until April or May, there is no point in racing to get to 335.
-
How are you being handicapped? If your power (not light) level is above the recommended level for the activity then you are fine. There's no prize for reaching 335 first, lol.
-
1 RispondiYou mean there were people who weren't 334 by the end of curse's first week even just casually playing? Now if only I could find a pair of pants for my titan, or a helmet for my hunter.

Modificato da Apollo_XIX: 12/30/2017 10:01:42 AMWouldn’t it be better to grab one Luminous every time you hit your new cap, and then get the rest of your slots up to your new possible high using blues? Then repeat til you’re out of milestones. If you cash in all at once, I don’t think you really get the most out of it Edit: nvm read the bottom of the post, carry on

1 Rispondi+1 Useful post, thanks :)

I'll give you a bump seen this else where and thinking of doing it on my hunter after I beat the campaign on him to see how well it does work.
