Rather than clutter up the D2 thread with anymore questions I'll just necro this one...
Anyone played this recently enough to give some advice about what to do at 40? My Titan hit 40 before I even finished the Y1 DLCs, and I have the boost to use still on one of my other two characters (can't decide which). So now I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do to raise my light level. It's currently still under 200. I dumped all the blue engrams I got in the vault since I have no idea how the really bizarre-sounding revamped loot system works. Titan (defender) isn't as fun as I remember it being, so I'm leaning towards focusing on nightstalker hunter for whatever time I spend between now and D2.
Are there any exotic quests easy enough to bother with at this point, besides the one that upgrades the starter AR to an exotic? Like ones that don't require weeks/months of faction work or raiding, or PVP at all. My willingness to PVP is strictly limited to doing the daily/weekly crucible for marks, and most days I don't even feel like doing that.
Currency wise, I have a bunch of old stuff and I've only figured out the conversion of class-specific armor parts to the generic kind. I have a pile of Ascendant Energy/Shards and Motes of Light that I don't know what to do with now. Convert the Ascendant stuff into Motes, and then use the Motes for ________ ? I have basically no legendary marks besides the 15 a day I've gotten for completing an event since starting up again. Strange Coins, I think I have like 60-70... Monte Carlo worth buying from Xur today since I don't have enough marks to buy any Y2/3 versions of the Y1 exotics I have?
