Destiny's first expansion, The Dark Below, adds new story missions, Strike and Raid content, as well as all sorts of new gear and weaponry, but for many players the most interesting prospect will be going beyond the previously hard-coded level limit of 30. With the right gear it is now possible to hit level 32. So where and how do you obtain the bits you need?Please note that this guide is for people who have already reached the upper levels of Destiny and understand the basics about going beyond level 20. If you are still learning the game, check out our original Destiny guide, which contains advice on how to hit 20 and start gaining ground beyond that.
The first thing to note is that everyone playing Destiny can now reach level 31, whether or not you buy The Dark Below. The key is the new legendary (purple) armour being sold around the Tower. Bungie has gotten rid of the old stock held by the Vanguard, Crucible and Faction vendors and replaced it with new legendary items that have a higher potential light level. The old gear could only deliver 27 light. The new stuff goes to 33. In order to hit level 31, you need a total of 132 light. Conveniently enough, four pieces of the new armour will give you that, because 33x4=132. (Who needs Brain Training, eh?)
