Exactly. I don't see this kind of hamfisted bad game everything in Wildlands

That might be because no one has played wildlands in 6 months and even then it was only around for like 5 days.

Lol how are people so baffled by the Raid milestone

It's telling you that this is an activity you haven't completed yet, and can be used to increase your light

Castellum gives you 1x Luminous Engram (this is what all other Powerful Rewards in the game are) but the Milestone doesn't go away until you defeat calus because he gives you a high light item (not engram) which can also be used to increase your light.

A good rule of thumb is that you don't have any more powerful rewards to pick up if you don't have any milestones telling you to do an activity or talk to a person to pick up the rewards

It's also literally impossible to miss out on Earned Rewards because they go to the postmaster after the week ends.

This knowledge can be applied thusly - Want the powerful reward for doing an activity? Do the activity

It really is. Even by the time AoT rolled around people STILL got hung up on the VoG jumping puzzle. Which wasn't even a puzzle. It was please fall for a good bit without going splat.

Although, I do find great enjoyment in causing unnecessary deaths in jumping areas because that is never not hilarious. Bonus points if you can get someone to do it to themselves.

You get a guaranteed powerful engram from the Castellum chest. You take this to the cryptarch.

You get a guaranteed loot drop from Calus. It is pure loot, not an engram.

Aside from tokens and keys these are the only guaranteed rewards from raid completion. There is no vendor you return to and get a powerful engram from like with other milestones.

If you are in a clan there is a clan engram from hawthorn when anyone completes the raid. This has nothing to do with the milestone but obviously if you complete the raid yourself you will trigger it for everyone, including you.
So why doesn't the "Powerful Gear" milestone go away until you complete the raid for the week? When does the milestone achieved popup happen?

Like this is ultimately dumb so whatever but implying that the milestone is referring to the castellum is wrong otherwise it'd disappear after the first mini encounter in the raid.

The game tells you, using milestones, every existing opportunity that you have to Increase Your Light

So if you haven't beaten calus yet, and he drops a powerful reward, and you've got a milestone telling you to defeat the raid to get a powerful reward,....

Also every activity that gives Powerful Rewards gives you a Luminous Engram. No exceptions. Guess where you get the Luminous Engram in the raid!

Raising your light in D2 is easy, unlike D1 where it was hard.

Iron banner doesn't raise your light anymore, but it gives you items that don't drop anywhere else, which you should be able to increase to 305 easily.

Are you one of them fellas that deleted all their raid and trials weapons because they were 10LL

The new incentive to do things is to get Unusual Rare Items.

Even if they dropped at power 69 they would be worth getting, because Bungie gives you like 8 opportunities a week to get a plain ol High Light item

This ain't your D1. "High Light" is boring, bad.

New items are cool, good, my friend.

Anything that comes from Eververse, so

Ghosts
Ships
Scooters
Shaders unless they're very obviously from a faction, vendor, or special activity like trials or raid

Maybe optimacy armor too? Unsure!

In only 70 percent to my IB emblem but I somehow lucked into a full armor set, minus the chestpiece but im kinda ok with that because i have a few good ones otherwise that i like a lot.

You could look at it like that, or you could realize that because it is ultimately meaningless, it's really silly for Bungie to give you lower numbers that you have to infuse up. Especially given that IB has generally been regarded as a way to increase your light.

Bungie is the master of taking what should be a positive experience, a loot reward, and turning it into something frustrating. Ffs the core endgame loop is "do stuff, get tokens to turn into a reward that is most likely a lower level duplicate of a gun you have, turn that into mats (not tokens) that you turn in to a different vendor which will most likely give you a lower level duplicate of a thing you already have."

Never forget this is the company that thought players would appreciate extremely low drop rate purple engrams turning into blue gear once in a while.
