Level 22 now. Getting there is an easy RP grind.

Figuring out vanguards/factions/etc to get up to a level where I can participate in raids in damn near calculus to this old guy.

demi · « **Reply #3 on:** March 03, 2015, 10:03:13 AM »

Nothing to really figure out.

- Farm rep / marks to buy vendor gear, allowing you to hit 31 (this already puts you WELL above the Vault of Glass raid because bungie screwed this up)
-- Marks reset every tuesday, can only get 100 a week
-- Rep/Marks is easy to farm with the weekly (now has matchmaking) and doing ROC strikes (assuming you have Dark Below DLC)
-- Stick with Vanguard, since the factions require Crucible marks

-- You need Ascendant Shards and Energy to max out the gear, you can farm these from public events, and doing the Daily. You can also get them from packages from the varying groups, or dismantling purple level gear. If you can do the nightfall, theres a chance to get a handful as well.

- When you think you're ready for a raid, try to find a group on LFG, or /r/fireteams or /r/DestinySherpa (people who carry first timers to help them experience and learn raids)

Buying an exotic armor piece from Xur doesnt hurt, either.

Is Xur the guy who decodes my engrams or the crazy bitch who has a fireball in her hand?

demi · « **Reply #7 on:** March 03, 2015, 10:12:57 AM »

Xurs the tentacle faced bitch who appears in the Tower every Friday & Saturday

You need Strange Coins to buy shit from him, which you can get by doing the Weekly (up to 9 if you do it on the hardest, 3 per difficulty level), doing strikes/crucible, dismantling blue level engrams, and sometimes from the public event package you can get once a day.

Did my first raid with a sherpa. We smashed VOG normal in about 1:25 minutes (and would have been quicker if that goddamn jumping platform shit didn't kill me like 18 times before I figured out Super Double Jump + 3rd platform = win)

can't speak for Crota yet (still only level 26, got dick for legendary crap on my first run) but raids are

compared to the normal missions/strikes.

Dat platforming, dat strategy, dat requirement for teamwork

And I think the key was having a good sherpa who actually explained how to avoid the gorgons/jumping mission after letting us fail a lot/end game rather than just blowing through it for us.

I'm serious when I say there is nothing available online quite like it, at least on consoles.

Rumors are the next expansion will include the Reef, which will be like a social gathering spot for people to build a raid team. That will make it 99% easier to find a team than it is now.

Although like Demi said, I can't recommend R/Sherpa enough if you want to play through with a person who knows exactly what to do. Because trust me if you don't, prepare to die, a lot.

Crota raid's only saving grace is if at least 4 ppl know what they're doing (and should at this point) you can finish it really fast. VoG only feels quick if you're starting from an oracles checkpoint.

I'm trying to swing back into things after a second break. Still need raid armor on two characters for 32. Not sweating it too much though since it doesn't look like Wolves is coming until early summer.

I hear that a lot that after you get your team to the 30's the game drags horribly and becomes all about grinding. Fortunately I only have one level 26 hunter and have only ever completed VOG twice so I have a lot to look forward too.

I limped through crota as a level 27 with some buddies and got some real good shit.

Level 28 at current but when I get done leveling my around I should be level 29. Just need an exotic armor drop not 11 goddamn ascendant shards

Still having a blast.

Still don't have a good primary (Using Three little words right now)

I will next week. Missed my window this week and didn't realize armor is only 13 shards, not 23 until after he left. Durp. But on the bright side I have 25 shards now thanks to the 11 shard weekly nightfall drop.

Could have got knucklehead Radar too

By the way in multi the truth is a straight cheat code. You can basically function as artillery once you get the heavy ammo.

Got the sniper rifle that makes you invisible
Got dragons breath (teeth) whatever it's called
Got exotic chest piece
Got exotic leg piece for a titan (which I need to create and get up to 31)
