Incase anyone is wondering, currently there are only a few ways to exceed 385. These are my findings: Blues/Purples that turn into exotics can take you above 385. Nightfall rewards, Treasure Hordes, and exotic engrams reward 385+. I've used about 6-7 faction/vanguard packages with no increase. Veriks caps at 385 from what I've seen also. I hit 386 last night and it's gonna be a slow grind to 400, but it will be worth it for hard mode. If anyone discovers a way to get a 386+ Ghost let us know!

you get over 385 gear from faction gear and weapons , they drop a light level higher than your current level . So once your 385 rank up a faction and your drop should be over 385
