So guardians how are you preparing for house of wolves. I figured I'd try to get a list trending since I haven't seen any. 1. Reputation: any faction gains a package after ranking up to rank 3 or higher so by getting all of them to just about to rank up you can receive many packages after ranking them up on day one. If you are wearing the faction class item when you open a package you will receive bonus reputation as well. 2. Cryptarch: you will also want to level the cryptarch in a similar way but you can also save packages. This along with public event packages can for you a lot of experience and quick engrams though try are coded to the dark below. 3. Exotic weapons: rank up your bounties to the last objective to get them in HOW (disclaimer I'm unsure if this will give you ascended gear or not) 4. Xur: grab that heavy ammo and telemetries. Coins won't be as valuable in the exchange system later so get them while they are cheap and my at the gunsmith. 5. Ascending: exotics will be ascended using shards glimmer and a small amount of materials while legendaries will require etheric light. A good way to level on day one would be to ascend an exotic armor piece that isn't what varyks is selling by completing the story. Play the 32 Poe for an armor core. Buy the varyks armor. Play 34 Poe as a 33 or roll the dice on trials of Osiris/crucible/nightfall for etheric light. Ascend an armor piece. Repeat this on your other characters for the last etheric light and armor piece. Will be easier if you have multiples of the same class but not impossible. 6. Bounties and commendations: save them. The rep and and experience will help boost for packages and upgrading weapons and armor. Especially the 5000 xp 100rep ones. Don't save Eris bounties as the rep won't transfer to other factions (is this a bug or true it doesn't for me) I'll be adding more time to eat an get FWC up a bit more. Post with your suggestions I'll add the best
