@rorie: Quick questions like this will probably get a much quicker response from a bunch of us Vets over at the Destiny Discord, but I figure you probably didn't even know that existed, so just throwing that out there in case you have anything else like this in the future and wanted to hit that up.
But to actually answer your question, Warmind's softcap for all non-Powerful Gear is 340 (+5 with Legendary Mods, or 345). That includes all Rare drops, no matter where they come from, and any non-Powerful Legendaries or Exotics, including Quest Exotics. Here is the list of all Powerful Gear Activities and Rewards that can drop 340+ Gear.
- Flashpoint Milestone - Turn in at Cayde. (2x rewards)
- Call to Arms Milestone - Turn in to Shaxx. (2x rewards)
- Clan XP Milestone - Turn in to Hawthorne (currently bugged, leave until after reset, and pick up the week after). (2x rewards)
- Nightfall Milestone - Drop within Nightfall, plus turn in to Zavala. (1+2x rewards)
- Heroic Strikes Milestone - Turn in to Zavala after 3 Heroic Strikes, 350+ Power Recommended. (2x rewards)
- Prestige Nightfall - Engram for finishing, 360+ Power Recommended.
- Leviathan Raid - (5 Rewards + 1 possible for Challenge, + up to 2 Exotics from Keys)
- Eater of Worlds Lair - (2 Rewards + 1 Possible Exotic)
- Trials of the Nine - Rewards are based on wins at 3, 5, 7, and Flawless. (Flawless rewards are 3 Random Rewards, 1 Weapon choice, and 1 Armor choice, so 5 total)
- Prestige Leviathan Raid - I highly recommend you be very experienced with Leviathan before attempting this, as I don't even try it much. (5 Rewards + 1 possible for Challenge)
- Spire of Stars - I wouldn't recommend this until 370+ Power, my group isn't even doing it yet. (I think it's 3 Rewards, though not sure)
- Escalation Protocol - After finishing Round 7 you get 1 Armor and a 10% chance at the Weapon, but I wouldn't recommend this unless 360+ Power and with 6+ people.
- Random Legendary Weapon Quests - The guns from Curse at Brother Vance are Powerful Rewards.
I'm pretty sure that is all of the possible 340+ drops. They tend to be +5 Power per drop as well, so it will take about 2 drops to gain 1 Power Level. The grind is extremely slow, and slows down again past 370. If I think of any other possible Powerful Gear locations, I will add them. Heroic Strikes are tough, but doable at 345 Power, depending on the modifiers, and the normal Strike Playlist won't help you at all. Starting next week, a patch goes live that will make Heroic Strikes drop an up to 360 drop every 1 in 5 Strikes, but currently, outside of the Milestone, it will not help you get above 345 Power. I hope this information helps, and let me know if you need to know anything else.
