 ====Year Four====
-The Light mechanic from Year Two of ''Destiny'' was carried over to ''Destiny 2'', but was renamed '''Power'''. The current hard cap for Power is '''380''' with the introduction of ''[[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]]'', which can be stretched to '''385''' by equipping all Power 380 gear with Legendary mods, as these add +5 Attack or Defense. However, a soft cap at Power '''340''' makes rising to 380 very difficult. While players can quickly climb Power levels until 340, after 340 they are dependent on high-level gear rewards from Luminous Engrams and Exotic Engrams, as most Legendary Engrams will drop 6 levels below the player's highest possible Power, which is calculated based on all gear in their inventory and vault. Legendary Engrams can occasionally drop higher-level gear as well, but this is rare and the increase is generally smaller than with Luminous and Exotic Engrams.
+The Light mechanic from Year Two of ''Destiny'' was carried over to ''Destiny 2'', but was renamed '''Power'''. Everyone starts at 750 Power, and can raise their natural Power up to a maximum of 970 with the introduction of the ''[[Season of Dawn]]'', then augment it further by leveling up the [[Artifact#Destiny_2|seasonal artifact]]. However, soft caps make reaching 970 power with gear difficult. While all engrams will raise a player's average Power level until they reach Power level 900, and Prime Engrams, Exotic Engrams, and powerful rewards will take them to 960, only pinnacle rewards will be able to level a player from 960 to 970. There are only a few sources of pinnacle rewards, each of which can only be acquired once per week, and those are:
-[[Story]] missions, [[Adventure]]s, [[Strike]]s, and the [[Nightfall]] all have various recommended Power levels, ranging from as low as 20 to as high as 240 for the Nightfall. The Raid [[Leviathan (raid)|Leviathan]] is locked until 260 is reached, but has a recommended Power level of 270. Power 280 is required to exchange Rare gear mods for Legendary ones with [[Banshee-44]]. Lastly, the Prestige version of the Leviathan Raid has a recommended Power of 300.
+* The current [[Nightfall: The Ordeal|Nightfall Ordeal]] with a score of 100,000 or higher
+* A heroic run of the [[Sundial]]
+* The [[Pit of Heresy]] dungeon
+* Each encounter in the [[Garden of Salvation]] raid
+* The [[Iron Banner]] weekly bounties, when available
+Most content in Destiny 2 currently has a recommended Power level of 750, effectively meaning they have no Power requirement. The exceptions are content coming with and following [[Shadowkeep]], such as its campaign, [[Nightmare Hunt|Nightmare Hunts]], the [[Pit of Heresy]], the [[Garden of Salvation]], and the [[Sundial]]. Additionally, Nightfalld can impose a Power handicap through the Five of Swords (purchasable from [[Xur]]), and Ordeals, Nightmare Hunts, and the Sundial all have multiple difficulties, ranging from 750 Power to 980 Power (among other differences).
