Level Up Your Characters – Or Intentionally Don’t
The way The Taken King’s new leveling system works for existing players is that although light will no longer determine level, veteran players will enter The Taken King at the current light level of their characters. So in other words, if you don’t care about the boost and you just want your character or characters to enter The Taken King fully prepared, then now would be a good time to max everything out. Continue to gather etheric light from running the Prison of Elders until you hit the level cap of 34.
And although legendaries are soon to become irrelevant, feel free to fully upgrade those too if you plan on using them in the beginning. Just remember they’ll soon fall behind when you’re considering how much time and effort you want to spend leveling up.
There’s another way to look at it. As suggested in a post on reddit, you might want to attempt not preparing for Destiny’s The Taken King whatsoever. If you already have a character that’s close to level 34, you should definitely take that guardian all the way. But if you were thinking of starting a new character or finally leveling one you never finished, you might want to wait till The Taken King releases. If you grind now, you grind with Dinklebot. But if you can wait till The Taken King releases, you can grind with a ghost newly re-voiced by Nolan North as well as an entirely new experience based leveling system and a reorganization of previous levels to fit the new narrative.
If you prepare too much for The Taken King, you’re going to lessen the grind. Perhaps this is exactly what you want to do, but with all the new stuff, you might want to give yourself a little more grind room. If you have multiple characters, maybe leave one of them un-leveled. Or not. It’s totally your call. We’re just throwing the idea out there.
