Did you do the Rise of Iron story missions? Basically we just stormed the SIVA leader's base and killed him. It was not epic from a lore standpoint.

Well, so long as someone lets them know and gets it changed, it's fine. Like, I'm not gonna assume it was done on purpose by some nefarious texture artist, although it would be extremely funny if it was just some hapless artist who made the design not knowing about any of this Kek poo poo. But yeah, that's gotta go or else every Pepe in the world's gonna start wearing that poo poo in the game.

Wall of text inc but it may be helpful to yourself and others. Hopefully it at least paints a general outline of what to do and you can just run with it from there however you wish.

Shard gathering aka the most tedious and pointless thing in all games of this type was part of the daily quest yesterday. Collect 10 Duskshards from EDZ, kind of annoying but there is a way to cheese it. Just like in D1, each planet has it's own plants or rocks that you can collect to turn in for reputation with specific factions. Your Ghost cannot see them and to be honest they look pretty drat similar to the vertical white lights in EDZ which is annoying as gently caress... but anyways.

This will answer a bit more than you asked but it's not common knowledge for some people so here we go. Others feel free to chime in with more effective or efficent ways, this is what I've used and I went from 20 to 273 in just over a day and a half of playing (12 hours total maybe).

What you want to do at level 20 is run Strikes but you'll eventually get bored of those. PvP if you're into it but it's kind of slow (faster than D1). Personally after you hit 20 I think the most ideal way to level up is to do the Daily Challenges (easy) get your rear end to the EDZ when you're done. So far they've mostly been there anyways. Keep pulling up the mini-map of that specific zone and fast travel to areas where a world event is about to start or has already started. As soon as you see it shoot any mob near it to become apart of of the event, if you don't do this that's fine just get on your sparrow and enter the radius of the event. If you're under 225 they are tough to solo but the EDZ almost always has people like myself running around trying to find high value targets and world events then most importantly, chests. There are a variety of chests on each planet with varying levels of loot. There are plenty of guides online that show you exactly where these are and they're probably worth going to if you're able to make it to them (they're often tucked back in a cave so you need serious sparrow skills or fight to it.

Before you start all of this go to Cayde in the Tower. Buy 1 or 2 of the the 4 hour consumable that allows you to see reputation chests in a large radius around you. Go loot each of these. If you find an empty zone you can get into a pattern of circle looting and net dozens within 30min. Most just have one rep token but you seemingly can get anything from them, I've never got an exotic but I have got a few legendarily (rare though). At the same time keep an eye out of Brightshards. They come in different colors (purple, white, and a black/purple, maybe a yellow I can't recall). Just loot these chests until you mind turns to mush. Thankfully the monotony is broken up by the world events and high value targets that you'll come across. If you can't beat them and no one is around just ignore it, if you see others fighting them all you need to do is involve yourself on the most minimal level and you'll get the chest at the end. This chest has rep tokens and loot. You'll get to 260 in no time, and you should be able to start soloing them prior to that unless you're really bad.

When you have a good amount go back to to Trostland and head to the top of the church to run your tokens and shards in. When you level up you'll get a legendary that's immediately decoded. Typically 2 purples, a mod, shader, etc. Rinse and repeat. Before work this morning I just stayed in Trostland. The chests spawn so fast, there are always people there so you'll get help with the 1 event that happens there and if you miss 1 of the 3 high value target spawns completely but someone else kills it, you can still loot the chest - but you only get a single rep.

Don't forget to explore the side areas now and then. They'll have chests. Some respawn for you in a few hours others a day from what I've heard (these have a higher chance of giving high value loot).

Anyways everything I just said can be found is about a dozen guides written by professionals, but I have yet to see one that shows an efficient and effective way of farming. I'm bored at work so there's my strategy. Feel free to pile on and by goony about it but it does work and it's so simple. Lke I said this got me to my LL in 273 in 12 hours and I went from 255-270 in maybe 4 hours? Of course part of that is luck but it's an RNG loot game. You may do it in 2 or 12.

another tip is that if you have the chest detectors active and zoom in with a scope it will extend the radius a little bit and you can sort of look for chests that way. At least you could find where some are that are pretty far away, but your field of view is obviously pretty restricted.

Always buy Cayde's treasure maps. You get some really good and some funny stuff and some trash.

Lexorin: Jul 5, 2000

I found all of Cayde's "treasures", is that all there is to them? I assume there'll be new ones weekly or something. Gonna be kinda weird if you find the same poo poo in each chest though. "Here Cayde, I brought you back your Ascended Artichoke. Again."

mikeraskol: May 3, 2006; Oh yeah. I was killing you.

I found this exotic sniper rifle that let's you switch between void, solar and arc just by holding down square. That seems pretty good for the Nightfall, although limited by the fact that (i) you don't have as much power ammo as others and (ii) you kind of want to use an exotic in one of the other slots. Might test it out though.

Same on PS4. I can't tell if the connection is super sensitive to touches of latency or if the servers are lazy as a stoned jazz musician. I haven't had a single issue of it causing actual issues. Just waiting for the game to essentially save my info after I get a drop or something.

Alternately: Who cares, the armor looks cool, and if it makes a bunch of 4chan NEETs do something more fun with their time than take Fleshlight levels of Comfort in defunct violent ideologies and sowing fake controversy, I'd say that's a great and appropriate marketing hook for that particular audience.

The armor set itself is pretty cool; I haven't gotten the cape, but I like the "wet suit" look of it, it's like the Gensym set that you get from Asher.

Grizzled Patriarch: Mar 27, 2014; These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.

So if I happen to have a +5 light mod drop for me before 280, should I slap it into a piece of armor right now just for the extra stats?

And just to be sure, the general progression is:

Hit the soft cap of 265 from drops / reputation engrams, etc.

Do weekly events for the powerful engrams to get to 280+

Buy blue mods and turn them into random purple mods, hoping for +5 light mods to put in all my weapon / armor slots

Is that about right? I'm only at 256 right now so I've still got a lot of grinding ahead of me it seems. Each faction rep turning basically increases my light by 1 or 2 points.

a little off

drops/public events/caches to 265

then reputation turn ins with all the items you got from public events

Then weekly events
