I just wanted to post some video guides me and Barak0suna found to be helpful for us and hope they are for you to. [u][b]Leveling guide [/b][/u] As far as I can tell the best way to level up to 20 is through the Strike missions and doing all the bounties you can and of course the story line. That is just my opinion you can still gain levels from just doing patrols and just randomly killing things. Farming will gain you levels as well. [b][u]Farming Guides[/u][/b] There are a few ways to do this. Some are chests runs others are just killing spawn area's over and over. Others are killing a group then suiciding and killing them again and repeating it. I will post you some of the useful ones we found. Click the links below to view the guides.

Remember it does not matter what level the monster is they will still drop items for your level. Each place has important materials you should always do your best to gather. You can turn them into valor marks or crucible marks. Earth has [url=http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Spinmetal]Spinmetal[/url]. Venus has [url=http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Spirit_Bloom]Spirit Bloom[/url] Mars has [url=http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Relic_Iron]Relic Iron[/url] All 3 of these materials are used to upgrade the items you get as you get higher level. You can also trade them in for the marks of your choice and some money and reputation. That alone is a benefit to get but you are also farming chests and monsters in the process so your chance for other things is great as well. I will add more to this list as time goes on.
