While we’ve actually known recommended Light level for the King’s Fall raid for quite some time, it’s a detail that many may not remember. According to creative director Luke Smith, the recommended light level for the new raid in Destiny: The Taken King is 280. Even though the leveling system in the game has changed to focus on XP-based progression, players still need to raise their Light level in order stay competitive and do more damage. Raising one’s Light level is mainly done through acquiring better gear, as it always has been in Destiny.
Those that want to reach maximum Light level in Destiny: The Taken King should refer to our max Light level guide on the subject, as well as take some notes from the creative director of the game himself, Luke Smith:
The good news is that reaching higher Light levels shouldn’t be as much of a grind as it was previously, mostly because Destiny’s loot system has been better planned out. While it’s unclear how exactly the game evaluates Light level, in our experience there is always a steady flow of better gear, and some new items for Destiny, coming down the pipeline. These new items include artifacts (artifacts can only be equipped once the player reaches level 40) as well as the new stat-boosting Ghost shells.
Keep in mind that this recommended Light level of 280 is likely in reference to the normal version of the King’s Fall raid. We aren’t sure yet what the recommended Light level is for the hard version of the raid, but that information should become available soon enough.
Most Destiny players are still busy exploring the wealth of new content added in The Taken King, and the addition of the King’s Fall raid tomorrow should put even more on their plate. The raid is said to be the biggest raid in Destiny’s history, and will feature a “special twist” as well. It will be interesting to see what exactly that “twist” happens to be, and dedicated Destiny players should be sure to gear up in advance so they can take on the King’s Fall raid to the best of their ability starting tomorrow.
