Is the legendary vanguard armour the 3 people sell in the hallway the best stuff in the game? Got enough marks for a bit but don't want to waste them if something better pops up! Also looking for a new gun, been using the same battered old rifle for ages!

I want the future war cult set really but I'm so crap at the crucible it would take ages to get the marks needed.

Got a couple of legendary drops but only one was actually a legendary item, some gauntlets. Very annoying how they can turn into complete crap.

It's the best equipment in the game (besides exotics) that you can obtain before raiding.
 
Why are the helmets so expensive? All the other armor pieces are 65 marks but helmets are 120. Its not like it even has the best defense as that goes to the chest armor. Sucks as I need a helmet next as my current one is only level 19.

Yeah that makes no sense at all.

I'll be hitting 65 Marks again tonight hopefully so should have enough for a second legendary piece to hit 25. But first I'm gonna hit the Crucible to finish off my Handcannon bounty. ~250 points to go :(
 
The only thought I had regarding the helmets is that the bonuses aren't weapon specific. So you might want to switch the other armour pieces more if you pick up say a specific legendary/exotic weapon.
 
That is why i will spend my marks after i see what strange coin guy got this weekend as i got 24 of them. I farmed 4000mobs this morning andvwill farm more but its looks its like one drop every 300 mobs or so for blue and like 1000 for purple. Image my crypto guy is almost lvl 13 and so far i had 3 YES THREE useful purples. So that should get your hopes down. I got more for hunter and warlock than for my titan.... ****ing rng is bad in this game

If you have a lv3 cryptarch and have had 3 useable purples then you have done very well for yourself. I have a lv14 cryptarch and I have only had 7 purples from engrams, 2 of which are for another class.
 
how on earth are you level 13/14? it's taking an age for his rep to level up for me and I'm only at level 3 I think, and my character is level 22.

Purples can give greens too, which is a real kick in the teeth...

Just got a legendary helmet from an engram, which is annoyingly the same as the one I just spent 120 vanguard marks on. xD

I've not been spending anything for this reason, just hoarding at the moment although I hit the 25k glimmer limit. Not really sure what to do with glimmer tbh thought there would be an auction house or something...
 
You get rep for buying engrams from him? Didn't realise that, although I'm quite a way off the glimmer max I guess I wouldn't miss a few thousand.

Buy ammo synthesis packs from the weapon merchant, that's the only useful thing that I can see to buy. Buying greens from the cryptarch doesn't give me enough rep that I consider it worthwhile.
 
I didn't know about the glimmer limit, will have to watch out for that as I think I am around 15-18k at the moment. It seems about the only thing I spend it on is buying guns or engrams just to dismantle for parts.

just got my first exotic!

for the wrong class :'(

Yup, I got my first yesterday and for the wrong class. It is a shame there isn't a way to trade between players. I have an exotic titan chest armour but have no interest in using a titan, I would happily trade it for something I can use. Even trading it for some legendary armour would be preferable than it being useless.
 
Finally got the rep for a couple of the Vanguard armour, level 25 now, just need to upgrade it all :) Got another level 20 Assault Rifle too with much better recoil for PvP :cool:
 
Is anyone doing the Fraction instead of Vanguard / Crucible?

I have joined FWC so I can rep up quicker as I jump between them 2. Download side is, who use Vanguard Marks apart from Vanguard vendor?
