Level 40 in Destiny – what now?
Reaching level 40 works, as in other games, by gaining more XP, leveling up, and then you are at the maximum level. In Destiny, this is where the game actually begins, as the “Light level” becomes important. This indicates how strong the player’s gear is by forming the average of the attack and defense values of the equipped armor and weapons.
The most important thing is to
get acquainted with the new “Tower” and the collections within it. Here, in these oversized iPads, lie your trophies. Most Destiny players aim to fill these “display cases” as much as possible and do everything to acquire as many shaders, sparrows, emblems, exotic weapons, and armors as possible.
Legendary Marks – what’s next?
To fill as many of these display cases as possible, it is first important to raise the Light value as high as possible, as this in turn allows stronger equipment and makes it possible to tackle the more difficult missions.
Therefore you will surely want to know how to increase your Light level. One of the ways to increase the Light level works by buying legendary gear pieces that are available from various vendors in the Tower.
The most important currency in Destiny for this are “legendary marks.” For 150 legendary marks, players can buy important weapons and armors from the vendors in the Tower.
You can read how to obtain legendary marks in this article. You see: This is closely tied to strikes and various weekly tasks. Most of them can be approached through “automatic” matchmaking; otherwise, you should find friends and teammates. These tasks reset every Tuesday.Some items are only available in specific strikes.

Who is Xur?
At some point, you will be dealing with the “exotic” items, the special, golden items of which you can only wear 1 weapon and 1 armor piece at the same time. This is where Xur comes into play.
Xur is a special vendor in Destiny, who is only present for 48 hours between Friday and Sunday morning. He offers special armors and weapons, as well as “Glass needles.” Every Friday, we present his inventory at Mein-MMO.
Among the weapons he can sell are the No Land Beyond and the coveted Zhalo Supercell.
