So as I (vaguely) understand it the mod game is where the grind is once you hit 280, but I’m still around 270. What should I be grinding out to slowly climb higher (other than the raid)?

The intended way to advance is clearly to just do as many powerful gear milestones as possible each week. Not sure what the expected rate of return is on each of those, but I went from 265 to 281 today by just playing the parts of the game I enjoy, and as a side-effect finishing all the powerful gear milestones I will do this week (clan xp, flashpoint, nightfall; the raid is obviously much harder, and fuck the crucible).

I have no idea how you went from 265 to 281 in a day.

I figure weekly I can manage the Nightfall, Flashpoints, and Clan XP milestones. Crucible I can do if I get really motivated. Raid I can do eventually, but not there yet.

That’s only 3 milestones per week. Each one gives me a piece or two of gear. How was that enough to jump you 16 points in a day?
