Salty I need to re-do my profile in CAG4.0
There are two levels to focus on: regular level and light level.
Regular level caps at 40, so going from 32 to 40 shouldn't be too bad. It'll naturally level thru playing the game until you hit the max. And honestly, it's mostly pointless.
Light level is what really matters (and it's the new grind). It caps out at 310 and is based on the attck/defense rating of ALL your gear. This includes weapons, ghosts, armors, class items, etc.
All your current gear is probably gonna put you around 140-160 light level. This is fine to start but you'll quickly notice that new green gear will have higher levels and you'll want to start wearing those right away. Reason being... the higher your light level, the better your chances at getting gear with levels higher than your current gear.
Also, you need to adjust how you decrypt engrams with the cryptarch. Make sure you're wearing the highest light level gear you've got. Then decrypt one engram and see if it'll help increase your light level. If it does equip it then go and decrypt one more piece. Rinse and repeat like this. It's a slow process but it helps speed up the pace at which you get higher level gear. Otherwise you may find yourself getting stuck at a certain level and wondering when you'll get better gear.
Legendary Marks are also important. This replaced Vanguard and Crucible marks. Get in the habit of doing the dailies for both PvP and PvE. You'll get marks from doing missions but those will run out, so max your opportunities at getting them by doing the dailies. It's not so easy to buy your way to the higher light levels like it used to be. And the 200 mark cap will force you to be more picky about how you spend them.
Once you get purples and exotics, you'll be able to infuse them with higher level gear, to increase their level. But this costs marks + materials. So if you get a purple that's low, but has nice stats/perks, you can use a higher level blue to increase the purple's level.
That's the most critical stuff to watch. And as you play you'll instantly realize that everything has been turned into a quest. Oh and the Gunsmith has been made relevant so you'll also want to start doing his stuff.

, exotic armors can be re-rolled, heroic strike playlist will show how many marks can still be earned).
