Hola destinygaf. It's been a while.
I've been away with RL stuff for a while now. Got myself a shiny new job
. I haven't played anything since TK came out (still rocking my fatebringer).
Where's the best place to catch up on all the new stuff?
Can't think of any sites to get you up to speed, so I think a quick rundown of things to look for when first starting TTK as a returning player may be useful.
First, rares(blue engrams) are the new legendaries(purple engrams), kind of.
When returning, you will likely be finding blue gear with better stats than your current purple stuff. Just throw the highest level stuff on as soon as you get it for higher chances at even higher level stuff.
In the event of a purple drop, it is likely that it's light level is less than your blue gear. This is where infusion comes into play.
Your blues are now worth keeping around to get purple gear you like up to the higher light levels.
You will of course reach a point where getting gear to infuse is much harder to acquire, and the only way to move forward is the raid, or nightfall drops.
One of the best ways to get quick high level gear is to use the court of Oryx, which requires runes, and an appropriate level to match.
Basically, do the story for TTK, after you have exhausted all story missions, and quests, focus on the court of Oryx.
Once you get to around level 285, you should be ready for your first Kings Fall raid.
Edit: Sorry for the late reply, I was at Ikea waiting on my brother to bring the truck around.
