New episode in my "smarti guilde" sereies, this time let's talk about how to get to 310 Light.
Prelude
Light level 310 is the highest light level any guardian can achieve in the current Destiny universe, because the highest attack/defense number any gears can have is 310. To reach 310 Light, you need to acquire 310 roll pieces of all 10 gear slots: Primary / Special / Heavy / Ghost Shell / Helm / Gauntlet / Chest / Boots / Class Item / Artifact.
Why do I care?
1) Bragging rights;
2) Make yourself as ready as you can light level wise for taking down Oryx on hard, the true test of a guardian's resolve.
Road to 310
To get to level 310, you'll need to obtain 310 pieces on all 10 slots. The following table should help you out:
Notes:
1) Exotic engrams can be obtained from: a) Xur sale, b) Three of Coins;
2) Exotic drops can come from a) Nightfall, b) Raid exotic chest;
3) Raid legendary drops' stats roll varies from 300 to 310;
Tips
To acquire 310 pieces:
1) To get 310 exotic from engrams, you MUST have light level >= 300. So horde your exotic engrams until you reach 300+, and to only decode them when loadout is configured at 300+ light;
2) To get 310 exotic drops, you must have 300+ light at the moment of the drop. So make sure to configure your light level to 300+ before getting into Nightfall / Raid;
3) To get 310 raid pieces, pray to Raid RNGesus;
To use 310 pieces:
1) Infuse is your best friend;
2) While 310 exotic pieces look great and I know you want to keep them: fight that obsession and strongly consider feeding them into your highest light level legendary of that slot. Even when this means that you'll lose a few numbers (310 feeding into a 300 piece will get your 300 piece to 308, so losing value of 2. That's perfectly OK in exchange of the flexibility of not having to commit on exotic slot);
3) Keep in mind that you can infuse armors from a different class. Say your primary is Hunter and you have a Warlock exotic helmet at 310, feed it into your Hunter legendary helm;
4) Take advantage of Xur to the full extent when he is selling Helm/Gauntlet/Chest engrams. Buy as many as you can afford until you get your primary a 310 piece (and 2nd/3rd if you have lots of coins);
5) Abuse 310 Black Spindle bug (the game is incorrectly dropping 310 Black Spindle even for <300 light guardians) as much as you can until Bungie patches it, this means:
a) every time the mission pops up in daily, do as many as you can to earn as many 310 versions as possible, then feed them into your best legendary/exotic specials until they reach 310. A 310 BS is great to keep, but Bungie promises to patch it down to 290 at some point. So do not keep them until you run out of special weapons worthy of infusion;
b) You can purchase 300 BS from Blueprint, cost is 2500 glimmer. Buy as many as you can and feed them into you favorite legendary/exotic specials until they all reach 300.
