DON'T DO THIS with your Engrams!!!! Light Leveling guide to 290
Okay, so the first thing most everyone does when they get to the tower is run to the Cryptarch, and spam X until all of their engrams are decrypted.
Don't do this!
Engrams decrypt into a light level based on your CURRENT Light Level. This means, before you decrypt, make sure you equip all of your strongest gear. Then, only decrypt one engram at a time and check to see if its higher light. If it is, equip that one and then decrypt another. You can gain 10 light levels with just a couple blues if you do it this way.
One thing I noticed is, do not decrypt two of the same armor pieces in a row, especially if you just equipped a higher version.
For example, I found that if your current gloves are at 250, you decrypt a blue and it is 265, equip that one and you go to immediately do another glove it will be 250~.. move on to another armor slot first and then come back to the gloves.
(FYI) I jumped into the Heroic Vanguard at 259 and after 7 games I was 280
Edit 2: now I'm light level 292 with this method
Good luck out there guardians!

Thanks for the tip guardian

Good advice ^_^

Thanks for the tip. I have found infusing and all rather confusing. This should help.

1 ReplyI'm so close to light level 290 tomorrow I'm gonna grind some dailys and heroics hoping I can get to 290

7 RepliesDoes doing the 36 strikes give the same drop rate as heroic strikes if I spam them or will I only get crap?
-
Engrams are determined by the light level you were when the engram dropped. This has been common knowledge for awhile.
-
Thanks! Bump this please.
-
Thanks :)
-
That came to me as common sense... Yeah.
-
Learned this the hard way

-
Thanks this is very helpful. Too bad I didn't read this sooner I just decrypted a ton of stuff.
-
Bump for great justice! I wish I'd known that before day 2.
-
Very useful. Thanks for this valuable tip. :) Now if I could just stop acting like a kid on Christmas and unwrap all the things! :D

Edited by Kil (Inept): 9/18/2015 6:47:44 AMAhh crap. I often have on lower level gear I need to level when I get back to the tower because I've just turned in some bounties. So. Much. Time. Wasted. :'( Cheers for the tip :)

1 ReplyWhere did you get your bond man?

17 RepliesWrong engrams are rolled for your light level when you receive them not when you decypt
-
Doesn't mean shit for me because I don't get armour engrams.
-
-
Yeah this works
-
Don't judge me for spamming X it is fun.

Edited by Bye Felicia: 9/18/2015 6:22:24 AMBtw for your second and third character. Equip them with your main's best weapons/ghost and decode blue armor engrams for the best possible gear. After I put my weapons back on my titan, my hunter had jumped from 184 light to 233 light with one visit to the cryptarch. Save [b]all[/b] of your purple engrams until you are ~290 light!

Nice tip, thanks. I'll see how it goes.
