I am relatively new to Destiny. I just started playing maybe a week ago and have the Legendary Edition. As such I am a bit ignorant to the most effective ways to increase light levels.
That being said...
I know ( or know not) about increasing LL using smallest to largest in that order and about the 5 between hard increase.
The problem is that I hit 292-295 LL and can't seem to get past that... I have been passing the blue engrams to my second acc. Because I feel as though they are being wasted. All of my gear is bare minimum 290 and blues just rarely get above that. My question I suppose is what is my best course of action?
Any and all constructive help/input is greatly appreciated. Just a noob humbly asking for advice. Thanks.
EDIT: I got what I needed. Thanks to everyone who helped. Raiding it is.

Also lvl up your other characters so you can take the useless gear that drops on your main an infuse across them all it will give you 3xs the bountys for trials an 3xs the ib bountys

1 AntwortenYou're in [b][u]luck[/u][/b]. Iron banner starts in about 4 hours and if you hit rank 5, which is not that hard, just time consuming, you should be light level 300 easy.

Raid, IB and trials. My son was 294 and got 303 ghost and 300 armor from trials
-
4 AntwortenDo all the ib bountys but don't turn them in till Friday an it's almost instant rank 5

Raid. Raid. Raid.

Iron banner is this week too, you can get high level ghosts and armour level 300. And if its the same as last time you get a guaranteed item at 310 at rank 3 and 310-330 at rank 5.

1 AntwortenBring multiple characters to Rank 5 in the Iron Banner. Candidly it is not really a question of doing well there as much as getting good random drops. I brought all 3 characters from the mid to high 290's to over 300 in the last one from them. Also you are pretty much guaranteed to get really good drops in your Rank 3 and Rank 5 packages.

Iron banner helps a lot.

2 Antworteni was in the same boat until last week. I didn't want to raid until i hit 300 since i missed the first month of everyone else raiding thanks to some other stuff going on, and going in inexperienced at a lower light level just didn't seem fair to whoever i ran with. SRl really gave me a boost to 299. The hardest thing for me was finding a ghost, and i finally got a higher light one last tuesday, bumping me to 302. After looking at your character, i would recommend just grinding out some strikes and court of oryx. stop passing your blues onto your second character. When you go to decrypt the engrams, equip all of your highest light gear( it increases the chance of a higher piece dropping) and only decrypt one of each type at a time What i mean by that is if you have 3 boot engrams, decrypt one and then inspect the pair you decrypted. If its a higher light than your current pair, either equip it or infuse it before decrypting the next one. Also, do the iron banner this week. it might be a pain in the ass, but if you play enough to rank up a few times, i do believe it is dropping 300+ stuff.

Try Iron Banner. That's what got my first character to >300 back in October. Since you're new, it might not go so well, but it's worth a try.

7 AntwortenCourt of oryx drops gear up to 300. Nightfall drops gear up to 310... Poss 320 but never seen it. Trials bounties are easy to complete, even if like me you are terrible at PvP. Gear drops up to 320. Then there's the raid. I suggest just doing the challenges. 320 gear guaranteed.
-
Court of Oryx Kingsfall Nightfall Those are probably your best options.
-
8 AntwortenIt's time to raid my friend.... SRL would of been an easy way to get high level helmets and class items but that's gone now.... You can try Iron Banner but at that light level unless you are a PVP god it's gonna suck to try get to lvl rep five. Aside from that do trials no need to win just get the bounties done. But the easiest way will be Kings Fall raid
-
Also blue gear tops out at 300 and I've only received a couple at that light level out of the hundreds if not thousands of blue engrams I've received. 290 and up you're ready for kings fall.
-
Join a clan or find a group of people willing to run kings fall with you. That's the best way to gear up past 300. If you want you can join my clan "alpha company 508". We use the website 100io to set up raids and other events. Everyone is pretty helpful toward new/inexperienced players. Got a mix of older and younger players. Just create a raid at a time you can run it and let everyone know you need a Sherpa. We have several in the clan who enjoy doing that. It's a bit quite in the clan compared to a few weeks ago due to the holiday season and most of us having done everything but I'm sure you'll still find some help. I might also be able to help depending on the time.

3 AntwortenBearbeitet von RedWineHangover: 12/29/2015 10:27:29 AMAll endgame activities have a chance of giving you 310 gear, some have a chance of 310 to 320. Crucially, remember it is a chance, not a guarantee, so it will be a grind. So, your options are (in no particular order and not a full list): Nightfall Shaxx bounties (if you have unlocked them) Trials of Osiris King's Fall (other raids won't get you high light gear, but you should still do VoG because it's really fun) Certain quest lines (eg vanguard quest line) Vanguard strikes Iron Banner I would also recommend spending your strange coins on 3 of coins from Xur. Basically use one of those one every activity. Some of the exotics will drop at 310. If you have more than one character, do the weekly activities on all characters for maximum chances. When decoding engrams, make sure you have your best gear equipped at the same time. People say that makes a difference. Good luck!

The Nightfall is pretty easy this weak and can reward some good stuff. Doing the KF raid is the best option to raise your light, but you'll have to look for a team. LFG works sometimes. Enjoy the Iron Banner this week and try to drop some good weapons =]
-
Kings fall normal is your best bet, that and iron banner coming up
-
2 AntwortenRaid is your best bet to get higher light drops.
-
Also if this isn't the correct thread for this post please let me know. I'd be happy to move it to the appropriate one.

2 AntwortenGrind strikes. Do raid. Repeat raid.
