A bunch of my friends are confused.

Here's how it works:

Exotic armor has a max light of 30.
Legendary Raid gear has a max light of 30.
Regular Legendary Gear maxes out at less. I think it's 25.

To hit level 30, you need 120 light. To hit level 29, you need 109 light. To hit 28 you need 98 light.

This means you can hit 28 at most without any exotics or raid legendaries. 25 x 4 = 100.

To reach level 30, you need either 4 raid legendaries, or 3 raid legendaries and an exotic. 30 x 4 = 120.

Defense upgrades cost more on exotics and raid legendary gear. Either 7 or 8 shards as opposed to 6 for the regular legendaries.

Level 28 is more than enough to do everything except the raid on hard mode. If you don't plan to do that, don't sweat.

I am hoping Bungie never ever raises the level cap, so I never have to grind ever again.
