Gear does not have motes of light, gear has light. There are three things people get confused about: [quote]Quick Answer to the terms that use Light that everyone is confused about: Light- Light is a stat in gear (not guns) that operates similar to intelligence, discipline, and strength. Light is what helps you fight higher level enemies. Specifics are unknown, but you want a lot of it! Orbs of Light- OoL are produced when you do a specific action with a super (kill, shield bullets, revive someone, ect.) and some grenades (usually on the non-lethal focuses like the Titan Defender and Sunsinger. Orbs of Light can be picked up by surrouding teammates to fill up their super bar. Motes of Light- These are a part of Bungie's answer to Call of Duty Prestiging. Everytime you level up after level 20 with a gaurdian you are given a mote of light. These can be spent at the Speaker of the Traveler for unique rewards. There will likely be more items then at the beta, but I would assume it will all be cosmetic (class item, emblems, ships, maybe a ghost shell). Think "prestige shop"[/quote]
