Of course, less than an hour into playing the DLC, I just happen to get a Legendary Engram that just happens to turn into my signature attire... Okay Bungie, we'll go with that...

• New Exotic gear starts at Light Level 30 (With higher Defense rating out-the-box), and you don't have to level it all the way before one piece of non-raid pre-DLC gear gets you to 30 (I tested this with my Crucible helmet that's at 27 Light, which is no longer available with Shaxx, but he sells helmets with 33 Light, which means people shouldn't have a hard time getting past 30 now).
  
  -Pro-tip: Buy Leg armor from either Vanguard or Shaxx. It's better than the previous Raid gear, and only costs 75 Marks.
  
  
• I maxed it out fairly quickly, doing the daily bounties and Eris' bounties, along with two "VANGUARD ROC" strikes and the Daily story. Hopefully Xur-upgraded armor levels faster than this, but even if it doesn't, it takes less than two hours to max your gear again either way. Dunno about weapons, though.
  
  
• The stats were slightly lower than my existing chest, so the percentages for buffs are probably not going to change any time soon.
