So. Tips for the last couple of light points? I've been crawling up from 294 for three days. Playlists are just dropping 260-280 engrams by the 100. I've had one ghost and one bath mat drop above my level in so many engrams it's not true. I guess I need to raid? Is it that simple?

Otherwise the best piece you can get are 299 besides for the 300 artifact. I have played a LOT, and I only got 1 299 piece, 2 298 pieces, and 3 297 pieces. There are a couple of quests that have steps that require rais boss kills, you should priorize getting them done if you need something to do other than raiding.

300 artifact --> from court of oryx quest (activate a single rune yourself, kill boss, talk to erris to get quest (she will NOT have a marker over her head!))
310 artifact --> Complete taken war quest on all planets and road to kingsfall, then complete the raid
300 shotgun/fusion --> endless war quest from Ikora (strikes, strikes, nightfall)
other than that, blue engrams and raiding. I eventually got several 295+ blues, but they drop only like 1/50 of the engrams you hand in. My experience is that they drop allot higher if you already have a high light piece in that slot though. Therefore I don't give my blue's on my high levels, to my low levels. I think blue engrams are going to be valuable for a long long time. Because every new weapon needs a few blues to get to 300+ (or if you raid allot, you can ofc use double raid gear, but that is still going to be pretty rare)

tooros: hurry up and get 310 Black Spindle from today's daily heroic, then do the following: 1) Go to Exotic Weapon Blueprint, buy 300 BS, and infuse your most favorite special to 300. You may need to buy more than 1 if your most favorite special is < 295; 2) Then infuse your most favorite special (now at 300 attack) with the 310 BS, it should reach 308; This should boost your light level to at least 295 (from 294), maybe even 296.

BS? = Black Spindle? You can buy another one, once you've earned the first one?

Once you earned any exotic, you can buy it cheap (by cheap I mean it does not cost marks, still cost 2500 glimmers) at exotic weapon blueprint. With the BS attack bug, you can buy one at 300 attack. Post patch it probably will drop down to 290 or 280. Until then, you have a way to bring any of your special to 300 by repeatedly infusing with the 300 BS.
As an FYI for everybody who has already gotten an BS and plan to get another one:
In other words, do it on your alternates.

Patch incoming. Bungie just tweeted. I wonder if all spindles earned will now be 'correct?' :/

Black Spindle is mine! I would not be denied this time. HebbNH and I knocked it out on our first try today with a cool 6 seconds to spare. We then proceeded to get booted to the title screen because of that patch a mere 15 seconds later. You talk about good timing! And I was worried too that my Black Spindle would get nerfed, but luckily when it let me back on it was still at 310, so I went ahead and infused a different one to get it to 307. Fun times.

That's just lovely. Mal and I are up for some encores this evening on our alternates. Time to bring our 307/308 weapon to 310!
