Welcome to destiny.

...You have 27 hours of play time and expect to have great gear? Have you never played a MMO before? Actually not even a MMO. Any decent RPG for that matter. It takes time to get good gear.
-
Just play the game in spurts, an hour here a couple hours there. Won't feel like a grind that way. 8 years from now destiny will still be the same way. I hope not but with a rng based system, grinding is the only way to get anything good. No one is that lucky that they only play a few hours a week and get all the good stuff.

Edited by brose one: 1/8/2015 1:20:23 AMstrikes / public events / daily missions all give vanguard marks. get marks & buy vanguard gear. since the DLC was release I've obtained: all 4 Vanguard armor pieces / Vanguard marks 3 Crucible armor pieces / drops 2 Dead Orbit armor pieces / Crucible marks 2 Iron Banner armor pieces / Glimmer all I do is strikes & crucible. I've completed VoG once. yesterday at level 29. (today I spent 100 vanguard marks on mats. so I could hit level 31) [spoiler]I'm not good at this game.[/spoiler] -- edit: i just looked at your stats... 9 strikes? that's insane. you have no clue what a grind is. I've probably done 9 strikes since the reset. shine brighter, Little Light.

1 ReplyYour grimoire and being a 24 tell me you have in fact not being on since launch and have not put in enough effort to get any actual high paying rewards. Like both raids. Nightfalls. Ranking up factions. Get to work gaurdian.

1 ReplySorry for the mean/unhelpful comments. This is not the greatest community. I find that the Reddit for Destiny is often more friendly/helpful, FYI. So to actually answer your question - the only way to get good gear (other than grinding) is to be incredibly lucky. There are stories told of people who got amazing gear/armor in their first drops, so it can happen. Obviously this is not a great solution because it's completely outside your control. The earner's path: you need a full set of purple or better gear to get to 31. Arms and legs. These are pretty easy - only requires ~60 marks for each and no commendations, and you can buy this from the vendors. Chest/helmet. This is harder - you need 150 marks plus a commendation for each. One key shortcut (which still depends a bit on luck) is to try to accumulate motes of light. Xur (weekend vendor) will sometimes sell exotic armor engrams for 23 motes each. Minus of these is that they decode to a random class, so you may need multiple engrams to get something your character can actually wear. On the plus side, getting that helmet or chest can speed things up quite a bit, and the exotics go up to 36 light, so they'll boost you more than the other gear. You need to get to at least rep level 3 with the vendors to buy everything, and commendations don't start dropping till level 3 or higher. So level 3 with at least one vendor is critical. Vanguard is the fastest. You're also dealing with the 100 mark/week limit. If you stick with Vanguard, it'd take you three weeks to accumulate enough marks to buy just arms, legs, and either a chest or a helmet. To speed this up, you'll need to accumulate crucible marks as well (so you can get 200 total marks/week, 100 from vanguard and crucible each), which means you'll also need to accumulate rep with either crucible or a faction. So the fastest way to get all this done would still be about a week and a half - to get leveled up with both vanguard and crucible/faction, and earn 100 marks for both vanguard and crucible over two weekly reset periods. I'd estimate that at about 10-12 hours in the crucible and 8-10 hours in PvE if you're pretty efficient. So it'll take you at least 20 hours, spread out over at least a week+ (due to the weekly mark limitation). Unfortunately that's the fastest way to get there other than being lucky.

HAHA guys you hear that "I refuse to grind for better gear" You sir have no idea what your doing in this game. When the title says "Destiny" it truly means that it's your destiny to grind your balls off for hours on end and not get what you want. I wish you the best of luck not grinding.
-
This game is just a grind fest so either grind or get good with the fact that its gonna be awhile until you see an exotic thats just how the game is.

Twenty seven......hehehehe....27h.......LOLOLOL......27 Hours.....oh lordie.......HAHAHAHA

24 hours to level 24. Sounds about right to me. Ever play a RPG?

I'm really sorry about the insults. Unfortunately a post like this is going to attract the desticles of the community. Again, hope you see this and know that there is a good community out there, just hidden sometime beneath the -blam!- who like to take little phrases and throw them back at your face. As for your question: easy way is to buy the armor with marks. If you do your bounties regularly (still a bit of a grind, not nearly as much) then you should have it in no time. Vanguard and crucible armor will get you to level 31.

Looking at your game history it would appear you played though the story then only played crucible. Not surprising you have no gear. Playing the weekly strikes you should have at least been able to buy exotics off xur and the crucible vendor.
