Best Ways to Get Higher Light
Vanilla Destiny player coming back to the game. Just wondering what are the best ways to get gear for a higher light level. Would really like to get to 390 to do some of the raids.

Get yourself up to 280ish light (if you haven't already) to compete in Rise of Iron activities without sweating too much. Complete the main story (4 or 5 missions), then do the SIVA Crisis Strike playlist (320 is fine, doesn't have to be the weekly playlist). Then Archon's Forge once you're at 350-360 or so for the biggest bang for your time. Actual Forge drops will be mostly ghosts & artifacts, and maybe a piece of armor here n there. However, the sheer amount of engrams you'll get will get you to 385 (blue engram decrypt cap) in no time. Don't forget to do daily public events for a free legendary engram on all three characters. I'd stash those until you're at or above 385 because those decrypt up to 390. Once there, you should be raid-ready for the up-to 400 drops from the hard mode raid. If you find yourself needing a boost, all vanguard and faction packages (including QW) drops up to 400 as well so do as many bounties as you can handle.

Strikes, Archons Forge and rolling factions are the best ways to get your Light up for raids.

Do the Nightfall, then do strikes. Then do some more strikes. Then go to the Tower and pick up your Vanguard package, and it's back to more strikes.
