So you have to be PL305 already for the engram trick to work?

I don't know, but the collector's edition has a book of it or something. You can find it scanned online.
Going off of all the posts here and Reddit, you don't need to be. It can cycle to 5 power levels below what you are currently. Aka if I'm 302 and I wait for the perfect cycle, it will show up as 297. Still could prove useful in many ways.

Yes, a couple of Adventures, especially the 'Invitation from the Emperor' one on Nessus.

So I guess we can assume The Gauntlet will be the first encounter of the Raid for the upcoming week? If so, yikes, that's rough.

I believe there's an adventure on IO that tells a little of it. But most of it is actually on the lore tabs of the loot that drops from the raid.

Hey guys I finally ended my frustration with the nighfall. I one shot it in matchmaking last night by seeking people. They had no mics or any communication but one guy just shot down all the anomalies and we beat Thaviks with 1 min and 44 seconds left. For my first guided games... I'd say it was successful!

Good god, leveling up for bright engrams is a bitch. Someone please tell me there's a faster way than just playing heroic public events, because that's what I've been doing.
Would using a fireteam medallion be worth it? Does it even work when playing solo?

Is anyone looking to do the raid today? starting at gauntlet.

Yes, fireteam medallion increases XP gains, solo or in a group. I used them to level up my alts to 20.

Why? You have to complete it regardless, does it matter the order?

So, just a quick noob question. I finished the campaign and am now about power level 210. When I finished the campaign I have a shitload of purple item rewards.
Now the plan is to level up to 265 by following the many guides in the OT.
What I'm not sure of is if I should I just forget the purples I already have and just equip higher level blues that are dropping now?
Should I keep the Purples around to infuse when I'm at 260/265 or should I just junk them?
I know I should focus on my power level, but I suppose I just don't know if my existing purple and yellows should stay around or if I should just junk them and just carry on continuously equipping whatever has the highest level.
Thanks!

There's one on IO, but it's more a harbinger of the world eater.
L2 Lore tab on the Raid sets seems to be it.

I find the Gauntlet to be the first major hang-up and stopping point for a lot of Fireteams.
Hence, if you have the other encounters before it you at least have a shot at some loot and whatnot if you can't progress past that point.

Buy them.
Yeah, I was expecting the "well-rested" buff at the reset so I could nab a few bright engrams more quickly, but it never seemed to appear.

Some of the legendaries may be good. For instance I think Nameless Midnight can be held on to if you got it during the campaign.
For exotics , you can get them back from the kiosk at a price, but I keep mine in the vault for infusion unless I get a duplicate at a higher level.
If youve used the legendary and dont like it, you can shard it to have shards for xur. Ive been trying to save one of each legendary in the vault personally though and only sharding duplicates.

Fireteam medallion XP buff only nets 625 more xp per Public Event. So it's not a huge effect. Unless you're rolling with a fireteam that's very efficient or you luck out in getting PE's with full player participation AND you're on a PE rotation that has very little downtime between events.. it's going to take awhile.
Best thing to do if you use a Medallion solo is just play whatever modes you enjoy best. Otherwise it's going to feel like a slog because there's no "best" way to use one without a full fireteam that works really well together.

Cheers. Same for legendary armour as well as weapons presumably? I will probably just do the same and keep one of each, use blues and then re-visit when I'm levelled up.

When you consider i had 63 people who had D1 & only 25 have D2 on my friends list ya big drop

260/270/280
Everything rotates.
So this week Gauntlet would easiest, Dogs would be on Calus level of 280
People forget rotation does change the PL value of adds/trash/mobs
That's why Dogs were easy to down hella quick, cause 260, were 270 week prior, and 280 coming this week
Not a huge ordeal, but it shows now that if you aren't 280+, struggle will be had at certain encounterd going forward
You sure this is right? Pools were a lot easier this week than they were last week IMO.

How are people getting to 300 without raiding? I feel like I'm hitting a wall at 245 😞. Any tips that anyone could recommend?

Well people are getting higher, no more wipes only mistakes can really hamper you
You can't use that as a thing
I do know Bathers 1 swipe from Week 1 damaged you to half shield
This week, 1 swipe put in you into Red, 2 swipes you were a goner
So there's a difference, slightly

You shouldn't hit a "wall" until 260/5, because all the blues/purples you get should be bumping you up at this point.
You just have to keep playing whatever activity you want to get more drops until you get to 265, then do milestones.

i'm at 292 and honestly hasn't required much effort. i just played the game as i wanted and have been doing milestones each week.
up until 260-265 just grind public events and stuff. after that do milestones/exotic quests and a bit later on start modding your gear. i'm only using 1 character. no alts.

You can hit 260, just with Rare gear
Just do activities. Hell just running PTEs on Heroic, net you at least 2 Rares every time.
Lost Sectors, reward you Rare, Adventures
Then hopefully you have Tokens to go spend and get packages, that gets you to 265+
Hope some items come with the +5 mod on them, for +270 gear
Then work on those Milestones, try to hit 270+
Work on next week Milestones when reset happens in Tuesday @5AM EDT
Then try to hit 280, turn all those Rate MDS you've been collecting into Legendary in sets of 3.
Slot in those mods in weapons and armor, and bam 285+
Can do Raid any time go get Loot and tokens
I mean there's so much info out there, Google, YouTube, hell GAFfers including me posted pointers or in depth ways
Hipibg GAFfer here has the Hawkins link of what he wrote our
I'm on mobile so I don't have it on me at the moment
Not quite sure yet but it seems that with the milestone resets every week you can raise your power level with about 5-10 every week after you've hit 265 and maybe with a bit more if you are under 265. Basically use the milestones as a good indication of what you should do next. I know some people waited with those for after they hit 265, but that seemed like a boring way to play.
Check your purples for +5 purple mods. They're rare but you might have one. If you do, lock and keep it, you'll want to infuse it for a long while. Eventually, you want every slot to have a purple mod on it (except for the exotics, which come with a built-in +5 mod).
Don't worry about dismantling low-level exotics, they end up in your collection and you can re-buy them for legendary shards.

i think i'm out until PC drops.
it is fun to play but i dont wanna burn myself out. i feel at 292 i'm at a good enough level. don't feel any need to go any higher. i don't wanna keep doing weekly events right now so will just wait for PC.
i feel like i've got my moneys worth out the game. i might jump on here and there but mostly i'm done until 24th october.

Wait till Trials @1pm EDT for that weekend rush
At least now you can spread stuff out for the week
