User blog:Derp2000/How to get up to higher light levels in a short period of time

DISLCLAIMER:

THESE ARE MY OPINIONS IF YOU GUARDIANS HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE THINGS FEEL FREE TO PUT IT IN THE COMMENTS SECTION DEOWN BELOW OR AT THE MESSAGE WALL:

If you are just starting at the Taken King (which probably mostly you're not), if you are a level 30+ & finish the original story missions before this came out, there are things that you should do:

1.) (Only for people that have VIP rewards) do the veterans tour:

      You probably forget about this mission at the tower, then you're probably missing out on a bunch of good items. You get shaders all the way up to Y01 Exotic weapon (which if you didn't have yet, well it opens that in your weapon blueprints). It really gives you a small boost when just starting in The Taken King.

2.) Do the missions 1st:

      If you actually do missions as your 1st priority, then you'll get (I believe) 2 legendary pieces. The 1st legendary is a primary that you can pick after finishing the mission "Regecide". You can choose from an Auto Rifle/Pulse Rifle/Hand Cannon from those 3. The 2nd one is a piece of armor, but it's from a higher vanguard reputation. You can also get goodies from finishing missions, from The choosing of swords to an Exotic Bounty (The Chaperone bounty, if finished the last TTK missions.

3.) Do the Legendary Marks next:

     Legendary Marks can get you up to many things, from the cryptarch (60-125 legendary marks), to getting 280 light legendaries (crucible vendors/vanguard vendors, must be a rank 3 or higher to unlock all of them). It's very simple to get legendary marks, from daily crucible/heroic (must be 240 light to do heroic missions) missions to Vanguard strikes (must be 260 light or higher).

4.) Infuse:

    As soon as you get your 1st legendary (Y02), make sure to infuse armor/weapons that are higher levels, because not only you get a higher light level, you can get higher light level items also.

Now those are some tips that I can give you right now, if you guys have any comments/questions or tips, feel free to put it down below in the comment section/message wall.
