20 + I found this in forms thought i shared it with you all.

Some good info. I'm no where near 20 but it good to know. Sorry I haven't been on much. My job been keeping me busy and spending time with family. Things should be calming down soon. Life in correction field keeps me busy. Summary: - Level 1-20 is training... that is not the end, it's really the beginning. - The game really just opens up at 20+ for those who want to experience what it has to offer. However, if you don't like experiencing more challenges in PvE, attemping harder Raids, gearing up for bigger challenges, or working towards harder puzzles... then you are missing out. Some Details: At level 15, I unlocked a second sub class B. If I switch sub classes, will I have to earn more experience to unlock those other skills in sub class B? - Yes Can I switch back and forth between subclasses A & B without penalty and keep all progress on each at any time? - Yes Will I continue to earn EXP after I hit the level cap of 20? - Yes Will all my current sub-class skills be unlocked when I hit level 20? - No Will the EXP I earn after lev cap 20 be beneficial to me? - Yes. Use it for unlocking your character skills in sub classes, for leveling your gear, for earning Motes of Light What is a Mote of Light? - Item you earn for each progress point instead of a new level after 20. - Mote of Light is another type of currency - Mote of light is used at the Seer for example in exchange for legendary class items (cosmetic?) Hit EXP lev cap 20 – unlock “light” - You now can buy armor with the “light” stat modifier How do you go above level 20? - You need enough “Light” stat to push you to level 21 - When you equip enough gear with enough “light” modifiers, you move up in “light” level - Just like Discipline or Strength or Intellect… Light is now a 4th stat after level 20 on your gear - Example – it may take a total of 20 total “Light” stat (across all gear) to push you to level 21 What armor can have “Light” modifiers? - All 4 slots can have it, and you want it Where do you get armor with “light” modifiers? - You must first reach character level 20, when go to orbit, you receive a notice, then… o Vanguard armory (Quartermaster or Vanguard Rep) o Crucible armory o Seer o Faction armories (several in Tower) o Cryptarch (hypothetically - unconfirmed) o Earn it through Missions o Earn it through Crucible o Random Drops fighing in the wild o Patrol mission rewards o Events How come I can’t just use Glimmer to purchase “Light” armor? - Armor with “Light” bonuses on it is harder to acquire - You now need some combination of 4 things: o Reputation (Crucible, Vanguard or *Faction) o Marks (Crucible, Vanguard or *Faction) o Glimmer o Motes of Light What is the difference between Reputation and Marks for Vanguard or Crucible? - Reptuation is how much favor you have with them. - You need to earn enough favor or Rep (think street cred) before you get to see the goods - The more reputation you have, the better stuff you get access to What are Marks? - Where Glimmer is currency accepted everywhere… MARKS are specifc to group - Marks are just currency for that specifc group - Each Faction, Vanguard and Crucible all have their own set of MARKs - Each set of Marks are earned separately o Vanguard Marks o Crucible Marks o Osiris Marks o Future War Cult (FWC) Marks o Dead Orbit Marks o Etc… How do I earn Vanguard Marks? - Strike Play Lists – circle next to the crucible circle on the Director (opens at level 18 or so) - Look for specific REWARD Vanguard Marks for special strikes / events on left column on director - Look for special Bounties and/or Daily / Weekly / Nightly Event Strike type events with Vanguard Mark rewards How do I earn Vanguard Reputation? - Play ANY Strike - Perform Patrol Missions - Turn in Vanguard Bounties - Resource cash in (need 50 of a given item) at Vanguard Quarter Master How do I earn Crucible Marks? - Play competitive Multiplayer i.e. Crucible - Look for special Bounties and/or Daily / Weekly / Nightly Event rewards (left column on director) How do I earn Crucible Reputation? - Play the Crucible - Turn in Crucible Bounties - Resource cash in (need 50 of a given item) at Crucible Armory Bot How do I earn a specific FACTION reputation & Marks? - After reach level 20, buy an class item from the faction in the tower - Equip it - Now – go read the Vanguard and Crucible tasks – do the same stuff - You will earn Faction Reputation & Marks instead of Vanguard/Crucible Rep & Marks What is the highest Light level you’ve seen so far? - Light Level 29 What is the highest PvE mob you’ve seen and where was it? - Level 26 Minotaur Vex thing - Venus in the wild
