I’m a 920

What level are you now?

Tons of topics and posts about this in the past week, search for “season pass” or “grind” or similar terms

Thanks

If you’re good at crucible, survival freelance or with friends is a good idea

Don't do any powerful stuff and you get 3 blues at the end of crucible matches usually or do strikes and get blues that way. Usually crucible is super fast for leveling no matter what level you are.

If you're looking for efficiency, dumping materials into a vendor will give you upgrades up to 1000.

I did that in Crucible last night. You get a lot of drops at the end of matches, plus the rank-up drops. Then you'll get tokens as well to turn in. My opinion is that Crucible is by far the fastest. If you are decent, run Comp and you'll get rewards from glory rank-ups and valor rank-ups.

Crucible would probably be the fastest one, as PEs you have to wait for them to spawn and Strikes you are dependent on luck and teammates.

Anchor of light, kill hive knight, climb the platforms that spawn, get chest with +5-7 drops. Spawn back at Eris, sparrow to anchor. The first platform will still be there or the yellow bar knight will be. Went from 845 to 900 in 30 mins. Quick and easy.

Don't do PVPor gambit until you are 900 because if you rank them fully you get a powerful reward.

My advice is do even and strikes.

Turn in Crucible or Vanguard tokens, or planetary mats to Vendors.

Pvp, by far. Got my second and third characters from 750 to 910 in an hour each

That’s why I just spawned back at Eris, no wait for chest to reset. Speedy.

You can go from 860 to 900 in less than one hour. Just run some strikes/pvp/public events. The road to 900 is easy, after that the real grind begins.

For leveling your light level you’ll want to do powerfuls and pinnacles. Braytech has a list and there are methods to min maxing but you’ll likely want to just make sure you are doing at least all your pinnacles each week

Legend litefall. Gets you 1770 by the end plus you get to pick 1 of 2 new exotics.

Play 3 characters each week. Transfer your highest level weapons and focus on pinnacle and powerful reward activities.

Witch Queen or Lightfall campaign will be fastest up to a certain point. Otherwise anything that says “powerful” or “pinnacle” will be a bit faster

Just play the game until you reach the soft cap, then you want to be looking for powerful gear and pinnacle gear rewards

Collect Regional Chests.

Complete some challenges which reward legendary engrams, ie daily gambit, daily crucible, but most importantly if you have not already, REGION CHESTS! Grab them all. They give a lot of XP and a guaranteed light boost. Try to get to PL 451 or above and you should be good.

i would highly recommend always having 100 resilience, no matter what in PvE.

Don't bother on getting stuff this season. It's going to change into a different Episode. Or Episode: [blank] Act 1.

I just watched aztecross on YouTube to get caught back up (I’m also a returning player)

There’s a new “season” starting tomorrow. Focus on that when it comes out. In the mean time just get exotics you want/need.

Add me! Lets#9370 in a clan that does alot of end game content always looking to help people through raids and dungeons!

I'm also down. Hit me up Mendoi-Kun#5687

Sure, hit me up: ameeryo#3102

My bungie name is MambaBB#9879. I’m also a returning player:)

Grab as many bounties as you can, since they give a good amount of Exp, and get powerful gear to level up your power level

Bounties, but turn them in with a clanmate or friend in a fireteam because the xp boost

Mrs. Butterworth in the tower has double XP bounties (EVA)

If you have tokens ofr crucible or vanguard, use them.

Bounties. Especially in Gambit. Between regular Gambit and Prime you can knock out tons of bounties. Then the crucible, vanguard, obelisk etc bounties. After that each day just grind activities like Sundial, Gambit, Crucible, and/or strikes. Also you can do destination bounties, those reward xp.

The 3 glaives can be knocked out at the same time, chaperone is guaranteed from a quick new light quest, and parasite and salvation’s grips are guaranteed from easily soloable missions. Those would be the easiest / most guaranteed 6 by far in my opinion

do you have all the dlcs? and if you do, have you spent the 3 free forsaken ciphers?

I believe Cloudstrike drops randomly from any Empire Hunt just repeatedly run on the easiest level. (You said you'd done Beyond Light (stasis) campaign. There might be a few extra steps afterwards to unlock the Empire Hunts.)
Also Xur sells a random selection every Friday. He sells a 'quest' that gives you an exotic cypher for doing 21 playlist strikes (I think). Apart tfrom the ones already mentioned most of the ones you are missing are from raids or purchasable from the Monuments to Lost Light Exotic Archive, grind out cyphers using the Xur quest.
I think Parasite needs a Witch Queen completion plus some extra steps. Similarly I think Lament needs Beyond Light completion plus some extra steps.
Legend of Acrius and Tarrabah need a cypher and 240 raid spoils of conquest each from the Exotic Archive.
Good luck.

Forerunner, salvation grip, Div, parasite, lament,malfeasance and deathbringer are the only quest ones you have left.

Ostea striga you just craft after completing witch queen campaign and glaives are also a quest from witch queen.

Everything else is either a raid/dungeon drop, or bought from the monument

Getting Divinity is more complicated than just a quest, it requires solving a puzzle that requires multiple players coordinating through a raid (Garden of Salvation) and then beating the final raid boss within that same run, it's impossible to solo.

The others in that list you can solo so would be easier to obtain.

I mean it is from a raid. But it is a quest that requires a clear/puzzles in the raid and guarantees the drop.
