Prepping for the Raid? Fastest way to get light? (Destiny)

Daily helps. PvP is participation in 1 match for 15 marks. Daily heroic, once you're nearing 240, should go pretty smoothly, but I haven't done that one yet.

I've gotten 2 primary weapons, 1 secondary, and 2 chest pieces from faction upgrades. Not 280, but 240-260 light levels.

Blue engrams scale up like they used to (36-40 is kind of like 16-20 back in the day) but they seem to follow your light level. So you inch forward 5-10 light every 2-3 engram drops you get. I think it's based off your light level when the engram drops, so keep your light as high as possible. This is probably your bread and butter from 200 to 240, getting a couple pieces from "lucky" drops along the way.

I'm still questing, these look to be a great way to get some decent rewards. Looking forward to getting that sword. :D

Weekly heroic gives a guaranteed legendary the first time each week. IIRC that's at 260, I'm getting close to where I want to try it.

Once the strikes are possible for me, I'd like to try for staying in the list for greater rewards. Don't know what that means, but maybe blue fire or something eventually. ;)
