All credit goes to Sasuke08chidori for originally coming up with this idea. I just thought I'd shorten his post up and make it simpler.
*Your characters must be 32 already and you'll probably need to complete the HoW storyline first*
1. Ascend a maxed out exotic you have (only requires exotic shard and glimmer)
2. Do the level 32 PoE to obtain an armor core.
3. Bring the armor core to Variks and redeem it. In the next expansion, armor comes fully maxed. You'll be 33 now!
4. Now do the 34 PoE to obtain Etheric Light (for those of you that don't know, you get a guaranteed Etheric Light from this).
*repeat these steps for all characters*
5. Transfer each of the Etheric Lights to one character and ascend all pieces of gear.
EDIT: The following is a reply of mine to someone saying you could just get a ton of armor cores.
" From what I understand, the cores get you Variks' armor of the week. I heard a few different YouTubers say that, which leads me to believe it will be just one specific piece sold a week to prevent you from using Cores to reach max level super quick. All speculation though."
Edit: [quote]Not speculation, (this is to reply to your edit) in the reef your it showed varik is selling an armor and gun per week that you trade in for cores the reason that you stated is correct[/quote]
EDIT: "Wouldnt you have to level his rep up like every other vendor?"
[quote]What about the rep for the vendor? Will you need to have a certain amount of rep to purchase gear?
Edit: re-watched the reef reveal no rep lvl needed for gear only armor core.[/quote]
Thanks to the above quote from a helpful reply :)
Btw- [quote]Clearly OP never played the Flash game "Level Up." Levels in seconds, easiest 34 in my life.[/quote]
Also: [quote] Sasuke08chidori: Don't forget the Lvl 35 Arena where you can get both a Armor and Weapon Core where you can Trade in both of the Cores for Judgment Chance **as shown in the provided pic** this may give you a random weapon and or armor pertaining to what Variks possibly could sell later on.[/quote]

4 RepliesEdited by TheFrozenInferno: 5/7/2015 7:37:58 PMHave fun running the Lvl.34 PoE as a 33 with 331 weapons. And don't forget things like VIP targets that can spawn and are Lvl.35. You don't have much time to kill them either. Factor that in? And yes, the stock that the vendor sells in the reef is on a rotation so you're not getting a full set in one week. It's not going to be that easy. Prepare for a grind.

No. Rule 34 is the best 34.

4 RepliesNot all HoW armor comes already maxed IIRC. There was "special" ToS armor that comes already maxed, but another set of armor in ToS (the random drops) and all the vendor gear will still have to be maxed out the normal way.
-
4 RepliesGear doesn't come maxed.... The gear that you get for winning in trials and maybe the gear that drops for you in Poe will be maxed already but using an armour core will give you an unleveled piece of gear

2 RepliesEtheric light is guaranteed? You sure Bungie went [i]that[/i] stupid? Anyone with 3 characters will 100% be 34 on one character week 1 if it is guaranteed...
-
8 RepliesThe gear you get doesn't have 42 light. You still have to use etheric light to level it up. All new legendary gear has light 36, im pretty sure, but could be wrong
-
That's pretty self explanatory
-
Epic!

1 ReplyGr8 post man, please bump for further reference.

2 RepliesReally depends on your NFS. You could get 3 etheric light just from that!

3 RepliesJust curious where does it say lev 34 PoE is guaranteed eth light?
-
5 RepliesGreat idea. Hopefully Bungie didn't make it so that you can't transfer etheric light between characters, although I wouldn't be surprised if they did just that.

1 Replystop exposing this to bungie!! keep it on the low low

3 RepliesI hope it's completely wrong.

6 RepliesEdited by Ninjambie: 5/7/2015 9:04:57 PMYou can do two characters in week one guaranteed. Upgrade an Exotic to get to 33. 2 Etheric Light per character = 6 Etheric Light 1 Exotic + 3 Ascended Armor Pieces = 34 You don't need new armor.

7 RepliesWhat's PoE
-
7 RepliesWell at least I won't have to wait 3 bloody months just to get to max level because I was unlucky. Not to mention I can actually go for cool looking gear without hindering my progress.

1 ReplyEdited by Apolloshot: 5/7/2015 8:45:01 PMChecking my math here but... Doing these steps would bet you 3 armour cores (and 3 levelled up items) and 3 light. Which means you would still have 1 light left over, meaning next week you'd have 4 light. So basically you'd be 34 x3 in two resets, not too shabby. Edit: Ha forgot about Trial too. Oh man it's going to be quick.
