For those wondering.

Calling level 20 Destiny‘s cap is a misnomer. That’s the point at which earning XP no longer pushes the number higher — it’s still useful though, as we’ll cover shortly — but you can definitely go on to level 21, 22, 23, and beyond.
The easiest way to explain is like this: At level 20, Destiny transforms from an XP-focused grind to a loot-focused grind.

Once you get to 20, you’ll notice that all of your armor pickups have a new stat called Light. Just armor; weapons don’t get a light stat. Further, if you look at your character sheet you’ll see a Light stat listed next to the helmet armor slot. Hover the cursor over that stat and a text pop-up appears with a meter at the bottom. The higher your Light stat, the more that meter fills. Fill it completely and you earn a new level, at which point the meter empties out and you have to fill it again.

It’s really as simple as that. Keep upgrading your armor. Make sure the base Light stat for a new piece is greater than the base stat for what you’re replacing. The Light level on a piece of armor rises a bit as you upgrade it, so keep that in mind. An easy way to tell what’s better or worse, when it’s not obvious, is to look at the level requirement for using each piece of gear.
