Destiny: A Comprehensive Guide to Level 20 and Beyond

(CraveOnline) "Destiny has a “soft” level cap of 20, though you can level your Guardian all the way up to level 30 using “Light.” Destiny is quite vague when it comes to explaining the best ways in which players can achieve this, and the majority of guides we’ve stumbled across don’t offer a comprehensive look at the best methods in which to achieve the max level cap in the game. Fortunately for you, we’re here to help."

Great information. I am loving how everything works towards something in this game. Such a great leveling system, and not too grindy.

ninsigma3926d ago

The leveling system is great, I really get tired of having to grind in games so this is a really nice way of doing it. The random drops and rewards for levelling after 20 always provides more incentive to keep playing imo.

stormswrath3926d ago

I only disagreed with this because once I reached level 20 I grinded on the same strikes, patrols, daily heroic missions and weekly strike and I have barely gotten any thing. I haven't even reached level 22 in light and I only have a handful of vanguard marks. My rep is up but you still need a lot of marks to buy vanguard armor. For me this is grinding at its worst.

iceman063926d ago

@stormswrath...I had just reached level 20 yesterday. After a single strike I reached level 21 with 2 blue armor pieces and 3 blue weapon drops. In the end, it's the luck of the draw I guess. However, it seems like once you get to level 20, you get more blue drop opportunities. I had 1 blue weapon from level 12 all of the way to level 19. Then, they just started flowing in the last couple of days. It can be a bit grindy. But, I like the mechanics so I don't necessarily mind the grind...yet.

@stormswrath
I get where you're coming from. But when you compare this to normal games that require leveling, it's far less stresfull. A tip for getting those vanguard marks: remember that there is a 100 mark cap per week so no matter how many times you play a stike or whatever you're not going to get past 100. My plan for getting vanguatd marks before i decided to go for dead orbit was to do a daily heroic story which gives you 5 vanguard marks and do 5 level 20 strike playlist rounds per day. Then do whatever I want after that. This minimum gives you 15 marks per day (only need 10 on sunday). If you play it like that you won't feel like it's grinding because you're pacing yourself and not getting frustrated by the lack of progression.

Don't know if that's any use to you but I thought I'd try help you out :)
Believe me I know waiting for randoms can be annoying. Especially on crucible when you're top of the table and the only person to recieve a drop is the worst player lol

ninsigma3926d ago

Where the heck was this guide last week when I was running around the internet with a confused face trying to figure it all out! Very good guide, I recommend it to anyone just about to hit 20. It's got it all :)

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast287d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole287d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_287d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981287d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140287d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85287d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj287d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman287d ago (Edited 287d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake287d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn287d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg287d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07286d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom287d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac286d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake287d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark286d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde286d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125286d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
