Can someone explain why all my blue and purple drops haven't gone higher than 317 for days on end? My present power equipped is 325. Any insights greatly appreciated.
From what I've seen explained online, regular drops are around 10 levels *lower* than you max light. Two parts to that. First, light levels from mods don't count for loot-level calculations. And then, 'minimum' loot-level is 5 below that.
I've also seen stuff about luminous/exotic engrams being around 5 levels *higher* than your max level, and maybe a weekly bonus - but don't take my word for it.
Do 3 heroic strikes, the flashpoint, the nightfall, either raid, get enough clan xp and play some crucible every week. Milestones are the only way to get more powerful at a certain point.
