  High 360s/low 370s is fine for normal mode. And ideally you'll gear up as you progress through the raid.  I think I picked up two or three light points by the time we got to Aksis on my first time through.


Heroic mode, I dunno. I'm guessing the fights leading up to Aksis are gonna be 380-390ish, with the Aksis fight being 400.

Got to 369 last night thanks to lcoates and jdub. I feel like I'm ready to give the raid a shot again. I promise this time I won't play sunsinger and I didn't wake up at 3am so I won't fall asleep during the Aksis explanation.


Up to 371 now, not with my preferred equipment but I suppose I could infuse.

Well I'm hoping to be on around 7:30-8 to raid. Anyone up for it?

Hello all.  Just dropping in, mainly because I ran into one of you guys last night playing some crucible, on Xbox.  Saw the ARFCOM tag, and just knew it had to be from here.  Messaged the guy too about it.  Even though I'm in a clan already, I would still like to run with you guys sometime.  my GT is SilentDrifterGT.

Had a Siva offering so I wandered over to Archons forge and found players there.   Stayed for maybe half an hour, used he offering I brought and 1 I gained during play, finished all of the Bounties I had but 1 and it was raining engrams.  Gear clots were packed full nearly everywhere, the post master was maxed at 20; I've never had that happen before.


Picked up the Light in Dark Quest.


Hurray Void kills in the Crucible.  Guess I'll try Atheons Epilogue Autorifle see if it'll do anything for me, other wise it's going to be shotgun shotgun shotgun.

I did mine over the weekend with the Stolen Will shotgun. I tried using the Dead Orbit shotgun, but the rate of fire was way to slow. Of course I deleted Atheons Epilogue because I didn't think I would need it anymore, but I was wrong. In the end it didn't matter, got it done.

If the other guy ain't shooting back, sure.

100/2 auto rifles need a very specific set up of perks to be really something in the crucible, and Atheon's Epilogue doesn't have any of them.  It's outclassed at close to mid range by a well rolled Eyasluna or the vendor Palindrome (or the rifle Atheon's Epilogue wished it was, Doctrine of Passing), at mid to long range by basically any pulse rifle in the game, and at long range by scout rifles, especially ones of the Mida archetype.  Not to mention that the ability to close the distance very quickly, combined with the power of shotguns, means that someone is gonna laugh at you the whole while you're trying to kill them with that thing, as they rush and shotgun you to death before you can do anything about it.

Still, it is better than relying on special and heavy, but not by much.

Works for me.  DId the entire crucible part of the Thorn Y2 quest in 3 matches with it and Voidfang Vestments.  If you get the drop on someone, it'll melt their faces off.  Point is, it worked for me.

Sure there are, I created it. We're not much of a clan per say, just a group of friends that mainly created one, for the achievements back in Year 1 of Destiny.

I did that quest with Atheon's Epilogue too. I was an assist master with that gun. Towards the end, I was getting better with it, where I was winning gun fights with it because they had to reload, and I didn't. Or I was better at keeping it aimed at their head.

I've got vanguard and faction packages waiting for both my hunter and titan, and hopefully DO still take spinmetal after the update.

Edit to add: I need a warlock and titan that have completed the OP quest to help me out with the final part, so I can unlock it for the extra boost to light level before I go decrypting a bunch of stuff and opening packages.

Is the general consensus that Archon’s Forge is thee place for leveling up quickly? I'm at 356 but it has taken quite a while, moving a point every day or two. Doing lots of bounties to raise rankings and strikes/crucible. The drops are always just the same or 1 light level above.

FYI drops over 385 will not go into effect until HM raid goes live this PM. I assume this was done to make first clear of HM a bit more challenging than decrypting stockpiled engrams.

That's the grind. There is no quick way to lvl up. You will only gain 1-3 light in the raid and at 356 you will spend the whole time in a corner or dead.

You'll get a MST of engrams in Archon's Forge, but they mostly come out as 340 crap.  Rarely do I see a blue with light in the 360s.  I've had better results from the Heroic strike playlist though.  Pop a  3ofC and use the skeleton keys that sometimes drop in them.

You can download the update now. I guess LL is capped at 385 for most items until 5 EST.



I'll give the NF a shot but considering the recommended LL is 380 with solar and grounded I'm already sweating the last room.

If you are under 365 I suggest grinding strikes and Archons Forge. Blues now go up to 365. Equip them as you go and decrypt one at a time. I would save every legendary engram until you hit 365 to help you progress from there. At 385 legendaries cap out. Still decrypt them first for a chance to turn into an exotic. Faction packages can hit 390 so do these after legendaries. Exotics and skeleton key chests are last as they can hit 400.



I bumped up 2 LL this afternoon thanks to faction packages and exotics.

Having a doctors appointment, and having that as motivation, to take the day off from work, turned out pretty good.  With the changes to light level, I went from 384 to 391.  I definitely got lucky with completing the weekly patrol bounty for Shiro.  He gave me two legendary's, and then Tyra Karn, decrypted both of them into exotics. Now faction packages are useless to me, since they are capped at 390, as far a light level is concerned.



I did managed to see two people at he tower though, that were 396, and 399 already.
