So this Queen thing, what is the point? From what I can see the emissary only sells blue items, so there is no reason to bother gaining reputation with her as there is nothing worth buying. Am I missing something?

A lvl 4 player does massively reduced dmg to a lvl 5 mob (something like 33%?).
Don't bother trying to fight stuff more than 1 level above you.
If you stick to the story missions, you should never be fighting mobs a higher level than you.

A high level player does not deal more dmg vs low lvl mobs for balancing purposes. A lvl 1 fallen will still take multiple body hits from an auto rifle to kill, even if you are lvl 20+ yourself :D
(I personally hate this mechanic, because your character never feels like they are actually getting stronger, but meh what can ye do).

Ahhh gotcha. That's a lot clearer and makes sense thanks. I kind of like this sytem I think, as it means I can keep doing the patrol missions :) But yeah I see you point about not feeling like you're getting stronger.

Course you are.

Just because you can't go through level 4s taking no damage and killing them by looking at them funny doesn't mean you aren't still significantly stronger against them than you were when you were equal level. You can take far more damage from them and kill them a bit faster. Its enough that you still have to actually think about what you're doing which keeps things interesting.
 
So I've now got the exotic bounty for the Pocket infinity, that's my 4th exotic bounty now. Just going to hope I get lucky with the vendor and he sells some rare fusion rifles.

I think someone said public events give you some marks too or something? Not sure on that myself tho.

I normally get 2 vanguard marks for doing a public event. Not sure if you only get them for the first event you do that day, or for each event.

Just reached vanguard level 2, shame I only have 100 marks :(


Has any anyone done their exotic weapon bounties? Do you get a random weapon from it, or do you get to choose from a selection?
 
Bungie really needs to sort out the level of rewards obtained from various activities.

Currently, the ways to obtain a legendary Helm + Chest are:-

1) 185 Crucible marks ~ 74 Crucible Matches ~ 15 hours
2) 185 Vanguard marks = 31 Lvl 24 Strike ~ 15 hours
3) 185 Vanguard marks = 46 Public Events ~ 12 hours
4) RNGesus from Treasure Cave = ??? hours

1-3 also require Rep.

Now, with this event it appears you can get the same level gear from:-

5) 2 Bounties + 2 lvl24 missions ~ 1 hour

It's just really bad design

It also gives a method (for 2 weeks only) of obtaining ~ 4 Shards an hour

p.s. still loving the game

Well considering I need about 16 shard and got 1 in the past three days I'd best get on that! :P

4 shards per hour eh - I know what I'm doing this week. I need >40 of them currently. I'll buy a legendary helm this week too so no doubt will need even more there.

I kept getting energy so almost had enough of those for my rocket launcher

Really need those shards though...They should get me to Lvl 28.

Not sure if he meant strikes, but there are daily heroic missions, which are just story missions at a higher level with some modifiers added (often to make the enemies harder). These missions give you vanguard marks.
