Higher Level Requirements **HOW TO**

Saw this on the forums, hope it helps someone: [quote]Here is a guide to the requirements for the last few light levels in terms of armor and crafting materials, since it can get really confusing. Level 27 requires 87 light: Translation: A full set of legendary missing just the shards-dependent upgrades (4 * 22 = 88). Level 28 requires 98 light. Translation: A full set of legendary, missing the last upgrade on each, and another upgrade on one (3 * 25 + 23 = 98). This will require 42 ascendant shards. DO NOT UPGRADE ALL YOUR LEGENDARY ARMOR ALL THE WAY (see level 29) Level 29 requires 109 light. Translation: Two fully-leveled legendary pieces (27 + 27), one fully leveled exotic (30) and one legendary with all but one upgrade (25). Note that four fully-leveled legendary pieces will not do the trick (27 * 4 = 108). This will require 64 shards. Level 30 requires 120 light, which is the maximum currently possible. Translation: One exotic and three raid set pieces (dropped only in Vault of Glass), fully leveled. This will require 79 shards.[/quote] TL;DR: Dont waste ascendant shards and upgrade materials with "normal" legendary armor, as it will only take you so far, It's better to complete raids and get better legendary rather than waste everything for 2 more light points. Hope the info helps!
