In Destiny, we provide you with tips on how to efficiently improve your light level as a solo Guardian.
As a lone wolf, it’s not easy in Destiny. The (most) raids are impossible solo, the Nightfall strike can only be accomplished with a lot of time and skills, and most PvE activities are designed for fireteams with multiple players. Even to be truly successful in PvP, you should have well-coordinated friends in your fireteam.
However, even the most loyal comrades can’t always be online, which is why you occasionally have to look for ways to level up alone in light level, the maximum of which was raised with “Rise of Iron.” How can you efficiently reach values over 365 solo?
Sepiks Perfected gives you the loot you need
The Redditor vpz has put together a highly praised guide on how he reached light level 365 without a fireteam. This guide is easy to replicate.
For a good start, you can directly buy a vendor ghost shell at 350 and two armor pieces at 350. Additionally, early in “The Rise of Iron,” you will receive a “Iron Lord” artifact from Tyra Karn, which also has 350 LL.
And now you play the strike “Sepiks Perfected” over and over again with the 320 difficulty. Choose the strike directly from the director. The strike goes quickly and does not require a fireteam to master it. If other Guardians leave the strike, it can also be completed solo. According to the user, the boss drops items that can be up to 365.
- Always use the Three of Coins and save the Exotics Engrams for later.
- Also, keep the Legendary Engrams that occasionally drop.
- Skeleton Keys should also remain untouched in your inventory.
- Always equip the item with the higher light level immediately. Do not infuse it. This saves you Legendary Marks and other items.
- A problem when leveling is ghost shells and artifacts, which lower the overall light level due to their rarity. How to quickly get artifacts with higher light level, you can find out here.
- Once you are near light level 365, you can decrypt all the stored legendary engrams. The reason for this: sought-after artifacts with high light level can also be in them. The user only decrypted these when he urgently needed a better artifact.
- If you now have a “problem slot” where you have no item with high level but have an Exotic Engram, you can decrypt this now.
Now you can infuse the items you have at 365 into your good gear – or you simply keep the new items.
What to do at Light Level 365?
At 365, it becomes really difficult to level up solo. You can rely on faction reward packages, exotic engrams, and strike treasures. Or you can venture into the Nightfall strike solo.

During the Iron Banner, you can also grab items up to 385. We present the new Iron Banner after “Rise of Iron” here.
