Soft cap = 1500
Powerful cap = 1550
Pinnacle cap = 1560
1501-1550 can only be achieved via “powerful” drops, 1551-1560 works the same way but with “pinnacle” drops.
Prime engrams always decrypt at your current overall light.
World drops are always below your current overall light unless you are still below 1500.
Artifact level is completely seperate from the values above, just think of that as bonus light and nothing more.

For one week, there were almost no drops above 1520. I had an exotic twice and 1 legendary i think, in 7 days. Rest were 1520 max. Never happened before. I looked this up to be sure, and was very surprised by the numbers.

Edited by DHawk12: 3/16/2022 12:30:52 AMAdd up the light of all your gear (character specific) and divide that by 8, that is your overall light. Powerful drops will be +2/3 above your overall light depending on the source (pinnacles are +4/5 when below 1550). The light levels of your gear on your 3 characters look right, the road to 1500-1550 is long especially if you don’t do the campaign on legendary to skip straight to 1520. Save dares of eternity until the end on each character because a weapon is always rewarded so that extra light can transfer to other characters.
