-_-_-_-_- LEVELING GUIDE -_-_-_-_- Some of you wanted me to do a leveling guide. I tried my best ;) If you find any mistakes or you disagree with me - tell me If you find any spelling mistakes - tell me Thanks ;) . . Leveling guide Ver 0.6 . . FIRST THINGS FIRST: There are Tiers of powerful rewards: Powerful is not powerful Some have caps at specific power levels . . Powerful drop Tiers(=T): T1 (520): Spider, Dailies, Strikes, Gambit, PvP, Flashpoint, heroic story, Ikora, lv. 50 bounties T2 (540): Nightfall T3 (560+):Dreaming City, Exoitcs, Prime Engrams, Exotic quests . . . CAP FOR POWERFULS - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN It means that you won't get really powerful items when you are above 520/540 Instead you get an item 1 higher than your max overall power level Example: You are 525 and have a 528 weapon You do a T1 activity (520 cap) You get a weapon which is 526 power, even though your current weapon is 528 max power + 1 = reward drop Same for nightfall until you hit 540 Dreaming city loot cap is above 540, same with Prime Engrams . . . . ACTUAL LEVELING GUIDE . . BELOW 520: Pretty easy: Do the T1 (Tier 1) rewards first — once you reach 520 these are less valuable so wait with nightfall and Dreaming city loot . . ABOVE 520: Look at your equipment: Do you have many items which are equal or do you have a few items which are much lower than your current level Let's say you are 530 with only 530 items Would it make sense to do T1 rewards They will reward you with only 531 items and will not increase your power (unless you pull 8 different items - very unlikely) -> don't do it Instead do T2 and T3 rewards. (Keep in mind that you do T2 rewards before reaching 540! They will be less valuable afterwards) Now you are 532 with still many 530 items -> farm T1 rewards until you can't increase your power any more Example: You are now 532,2. Do rewards until you are 533, because 534 is too difficult to achieve with only T1 rewards and require lots of rng luck Continue to boost your level with T2/T3 rewards and try to push low level items with T1 rewards. . . "I HAVE LOW LEVEL ITEMS - MUCH LOWER THAN MY POWER" Do the nightfall It drops items -5 to -10 below your power level (if you are below 540) Example: You are 530,5 and have a 520 chest piece - you can farm the nightfall until you get a 524,525 chest piece and your power level increases to 531 -> better rewards . . WHEN SHOULD I DO MY T1 CHALLENGES You have to think about it and decide different in every situation. If you have 3 items below your power and need to improve all of them to gain +1 max power it is very unlikely But if you have 4 items below your power and need to improve only 2 of them you should do T1 rewards until you gain that +1 power upgrade . . EXOTICS: Don't redeem then until you hit 520 and only use them if they boost your primary weapon by more than 3 OR if they let you increase your max power level . . PRIME Engrams: You can get 1-3 Prime engrams per char daily They drop at around +5 Redeem then immediately because they don't scale with your power once dropped (not like exotics and challenges) Best ways to get them are EP , Blind Well (without glitch) They can basically drop from every orange or yellow bar enemy . . TO SUM THINGS UP: Below 520: do all T1 , then T2, then T3 below 540: only do T2 and T3 if you can't raise your power by doing T1 (or if it is very unlikely) - but do your T2 rewards before hitting 540 otherwise they will be not useful above 540: only do T3 rewards if you can't raise your power by doing T1 and T2 like above
