highest light level witthout DLC

[Zouwop]

Im just curious what the highest light level you can get if you dont have any DLCs, im currently 1000 but am curious if that is the cap

1060, if you're not counting the artifact. you will need powerful or pinnacle rewards to get higher

It doesn't matter if you're free or bought any expansion. Everyone can get to whatever the max light level is for the season and add however much on with their artifact as they want.

This.

However, there are some Pinnacle sources (Garden of Salvation, Pit of Heresy, certain Nightfall Ordeals, Nightmare Hunts) that you won't have access to as a F2P that will slow the power grind. So you could have hit 1060 this season, but it would take significantly longer.

1050 is the soft cap, then you can get to 1060 through pinnacles. Artifact is also free for everyone so factor in that too if you choose.

1000 is the Soft Cap. 1050 is the Hard Cap. 1060 is the Pinnacle Cap.

1000 is the Soft Cap. 1050 is the Hard Cap. 1060 is the Pinnacle Cap.

Different people refer to the different caps as different things these days.

Soft cap / powerful cap / pinnacle cap makes the most sense to me. 1050 isn't the hard cap because you can continue to increase your gear score beyond 1050. 1060 is the hard cap.

1000 is the Soft Cap. 1050 is the Hard Cap. 1060 is the Pinnacle Cap.

just different wording really, I consider 1050 the soft cap because if you don't want to do the pinnacle grind then you can't get higher where as 1000-1050 will happen just by playing the game naturally there for I don't consider it a cap.

Considering the number of people who still ask on here how to get above 1000 I think it's important to mention it's the Soft Cap.

I find it hard to believe that is an issue personally, they will clearly see themselves going up in LL as they play. Saying that though, sure class it as a 'cap' when helping people like that because the 2 other caps will mean nothing to them for the most part anyway. For the larger part of the player base there is mainly just 2 caps though, hence why I went with that at the start but hey, everyone has a different way of explaining, no biggie.

You need to specifically go after "powerful gear" rewards in order to progress from 1000 to 1050 though. I think it is helpful to differentiate between the soft cap, where world drops will increase your power level, and the other caps.
