Stuck at 299 light :(

You need to do the raid now in order to get your light above 300. If you still have your 2 raid quests then they will complete if you finish off the raid. Then one of them will give you a chance to get the touch of malice which is a 310 weapon and that should bring u above 300.

Depending on how gracious rng is, u may get some decent weapons and armours at 300 and above.

How'd you manage that? Tier 2 bosses don't drop exotic engrams. Was it a legendary that turned exotic?

No it was definitely an exotic, popped a 3 of coins. Oops meant to say tier3 court of oryx, not a tier2 as I had an antiquated rune. Got lucky as I had one other random who was at 310 light so just destroyed everything while I took care of the ads lol.

No, you don't, I've seen two people jump over the 300 mark via this weeks nightfall rewards and I know for a fact that one of them has not been near the raid.

Chances of that happening are what?? Pretty rare. If he wants to definitely get past 300 then raid is the way to go. I was at 296 when I did my first raid, got a heavy and shotgun and my level went up to 300. My second run of the raid got me some armour which pushed me to 304 level now.

Two people out of three in the nightfall (it was on the same run) does not seem rare to me, will have to see what the drops are like over the next few weeks to see though, chances are that Bungie will adjust the drops I suspect after upping the rewards this week.
 
Just got a 310 Alchemists Raiment. What do you all reckon, infuse it or keep it for my warlock?

Edit: I just noticed the exotic perk also lets orbs regenerate grenades and melees when your super is full. I missed that, I thought it was just ammo -> glimmer. Definitely keeping.

Thanks, the only thing I haven't killed in the raid is Oryx so far (although I've been slacking and not really bothered).

I'll get there, it's just annoying that I've got so much raid gear and no light 300. Boots, ghost, lmg, and I think helmet.

To be fair I could probably push it by infusing stuff but I've spent the last few days going "why am I not getting any weapon parts ffs" only to find out that my inventory was full.

A few more weapon parts should do it hopefully.
 
Nope they're all sub-300. Exotics have a (50/50?) chance to decrypt at 310 if you're 300+ light level, and 100% chance of 310 if you're 310+ light level.

Does Rahool ever decrypt blues and purples into anything over 300?

Blues for sure have a max of 300.

Purples is anybodies guess but saying that raid weapons tend to drop at 300 minimum so that might be where the limit is.

300 for anything non raid related and 300+ for raid items (exotics excluded).

Trials obviously will have 300+ gear as well (at least it should anyway nobody knows yet).
 
Thanks for the adds so far people.

I'm only level 25, thanks to Spark of Light. Do I need to be at level 40 before I can start doing raids etc? By that, I mean to be of any use. Lol.
 
Blues top out at 300.
Standard legendaries (non raid) can only drop above 300 from Nightfall (as of this week).
Raid gear drops between 300 and 310 (normal mode) and between 310 and 320 (harrowed gear from hard mode).
Exotics drop at 290 or 310 (nothing in between), with 310s only dropping once you're overall light is 300+.
 
Since hitting 300 light yesterday, I have decrypted 5 exotic engrams. 3 of them were 310. Seems like the odds are pretty decent to get the 310 stuff.

Two of the 310s were on engrams I found on a sub-300 character, which I transferred over to my 301 character. So it seems the light level of the item is indeed decided at the moment of decryption, rather than when the engram drops.
 
I also think bungie are messing with the raid drops to make you raid more.

As a 302 I had a 311 gun drop in the hard mode raid (lowest possible).

It boosted me to 305 but I also had no raid armour drop. I also got stuff lower than 310 (normal mode drops on the double drop).

So there is no point in just doing hard mode for double loot the loot you get is still normal mode drops.

Your better off doing normal mode first in hope of levelling up for hard mode then having a crack at hard mode.
 
Is there an easy way to get raiding? I'm at 296 light and that ain't moving fast and want to start but can't find anyone to join with.
