A Mote of Light is a type of currency that can be used to purchase items from The Speaker and Xûr. In the Taken King, Motes can be used as a consumable to award an amount of XP to the player and his/her munitions.
Once a Guardian reaches level 40, any experience earned goes to acquiring a Mote of Light. One Mote of Light requires about 80,000 experience.[1] Motes can also be awarded randomly for completing Crucible matches, completing Vanguard Strikes, in loot chests, in rare engrams, dismantling rare armor and weapons or finishing a Public Event with gold ranking.
