[b]Leveling[/b], the first thing you should be doing if you haven't hit 20 yet, get there. It shouldn't take long at all but if you're struggling, ask for help. The best advice I can give is do the story, do the bounties and do the crucible bounties. You should fly leveling. [b]Gear[/b] Once you hit 20, start going for your gear. Best course is do the random strike missions. You can find them on your screen on the planet maps. Its a Vanguard Icon, start grinding...the gear isn't going to fall out of thin air. Save your marks for your gear, not for the guns. You need [b][i]Light[/i][/b] in order to level past 20, there's none on guns, so do that last. [b]Rep[/b] The easiest is Vanguard, do the bounties, do patrols, farm your mats too. Also again, do the random strikes. [b]QQ[/b] Quit crying its an FPS with MMO, do your part, don't expect to get all of your stuff handed to you. Everyone helps everyone, give help when needed and ask for help as well.
