Okay, so the first thing most everyone does when they get to the tower is run to the Cryptarch, and spam X until all of their engrams are decrypted.
Don't do this!
Engrams decrypt into a light level based on your CURRENT Light Level. This means, before you decrypt, make sure you equip all of your strongest gear. Then, only decrypt one engram at a time and check to see if its higher light. If it is, equip that one and then decrypt another. You can gain 10 light levels with just a couple blues if you do it this way.
One thing I noticed is, do not decrypt two of the same armor pieces in a row, especially if you just equipped a higher version.
For example, I found that if your current gloves are at 250, you decrypt a blue and it is 265, equip that one and you go to immediately do another glove it will be 250~.. move on to another armor slot first and then come back to the gloves.
(FYI) I jumped into the Heroic Vanguard at 259 and after 7 games I was 280
Edit 2: now I'm light level 292 with this method
Good luck out there guardians!

Also work on replacing your weakest items first. If you get a legendary engram, do not pop it if you are trying to replace an item that is one the best items you have. You should wait until the rest of your items catch up before burning a legendary.
