I currently have all 3 subclasses maxed out already and 252 power at the time I wrote this. The raid will need you to be around 300 light. So Far it seems the fastest way to level up (suggested after the first character so you have a sparrow) is to play public events until you are 20 then do all of the story then do the Cayde-6 treasures you get for completing campaign so you will have nearly all legendary pieces. Dismantle every piece of gear you will not need or use to get as many parts as possible then sell them for more legendary while trying to farm only 1 planet (this will allow you to get more Tokens) so you will get more legendaries and parts.
Main tips:
- Do not play solo (even if you are playing with randoms)
- Try to only farm one planet
- Focus on story (mainly for your first character [Red missions not orange])
- Play heroic public events
- Use fast travel to save time (you can not be on a mission when you fast travel)
- Check your map legend and make sure to do all of the extras. (regional chest/lost sectors)
How to get 265+ the fastest! (harder but guaranteed easy 280 drops)
1. Complete story (you will automatically become 20 after)
2. Join a clan (free legendary gear [this step comes at any point])
3. Complete all exotic quest (gear now drops by highest maximum light even if that is by exotics)
4. Start grind nighfall/crucible/tokens
The easy way to get past 265!
1. Farm one area
2. Collect tokens
3. Delete any unneeded gear
4. Turn in those tokens
5. Get lucky
6. Infuse exotics with blue gear!
Why are you just farming tokens?? When you get legendaries you have a chance of them dropping with +5 light than what they are showing. Saving your low-level exotics for blues is the best. Why? because they get +5 light when infusing them with a higher blue!
What to do after you finish your weeklies/raid/nightfall?
Simply grind more nightfall!
Why?
Nightfall drops more legendary/exotic gear and legendary and exotic gear has a higher chance to drop above your current light.
I suggest using a Fireteam medallion and helping people on the LFG
