I've noticed a lot of people, including myself, asking a lot of questions since TTK was released due to the massive amount of changes and content it added to destiny so I've made this to try and answer/give an area for people to look for info on the new stuff.
[b]1. Leveling:[/b]
In TTK the max level is now 40, as most of you know, as far as this goes for effecting the game i can say with great confidence that your first priority should be to use all your bounties/boosts to get to 40 ASAP as this will effect your drops. Once you're at 40 you are able to do a lot more quests/go to more areas for rewards.
[b]2. Light/Armor:[/b]
In TTK once you hit Level 40 light becomes your new scale of how good your character is defence/attack wise. Light level is based on both your attack ratings (all your guns light) and your defence ratings (armor/artifact/ghost). It's extremely important to make sure you always put on the HIGHEST light level items, even if you usually wouldn't that item or it doesn't match your subclass, because your light level is what determines the level of your engram drops, and engrams you decrypt at the tower!!! The putting on your highest level light stuff i would imagine will only change once you're at max light or close to it when items class effects will actually help more than random stuff. (speculated to be a max light of 310 at the moment)
[b]3. Ghosts/Calcified Fragments:[/b]
-Ghost like always are all over the place, at the moment i believe the current found ghost count is at 11 with 4 known to be missing (3 in the Vault of Glass raid most likely) there are man youtube guides for the found 11 ghosts out already.
-Cal Frags are the ghosts of the new patrol area and there are 50 of them in total, atm only 35 have been found. They are both hidden all over the patrol area/missions/strikes and rewards for killing certain bosses/opening those hidden chests on the dreadnaught and from doing the court of public event area (where you use all those "runes" you will get randomly from stuff in game now.
Here's a Link to one of the Calcified Fragments that requires you to complete a rune and then finish to fight to get it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URX5GQ8neu8
[b]Helpful Tips/TL;DR:[/b]
-Make sure you level to 40 ASAP
-Always use highest light equipment to improve your drops
-FINISH ALL STORY MISSIONS!!! (some of them give exotics/300 light weps!!!)
-Do your dailies! they give you legendary marks which will be a great help in getting year 2 stuff/infusing items!
-[u]BUY a 280 ghost[/u] as soon as you get 75 marks!!!! i have yet to get a better ghost than the 280 one from vanguard and it has good effects on it! it will also give you a nice boost to your light rating!
[i][b]Any questions? Leave them down below and ill try to help if possible![/b] [/i]
Edit #1: Here's a link to the 45/50 Calcified fragments found (you'll need them to obtain a hidden exotic)
Edit #2: Here's a link to the Final boss fight and kill in the new raid, hopefully this shows a few of the mechanics of the fight off to those who haven't done it yet. I was running relic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co7DtNGJG1M
*strong language warning, sorry in advance after countless tries and hours in the raid it gets pretty heated.
