So... i'm at level 25. What should I be doing for gear?
This has been covered in a few places, but here are some tips.
Stop Crucible (unless you just like playing it, but don't use it as a means to level up).
However, since you have been playing crucible, what is your rank? Are you rank 3? How many crucible marks do you have?
If you are rank 2, you can buy crucible armor (the gauntles and boots 65 a piece). After rank 3, you get "commendations". This will allow you to buy your chest piece. (65 marks).
This advice is just if you have acquired alot of crucible rep. The quickest way is as follows.
Level up your vanguard to 2. This is IMO much easier than ranking up in crucible as you can clear all the bountes every day. You will hit this in a week if you do the bounties daily. Get to 2. Buy your gauntlets and boots (65 marks a piece). Get passed rank 3 and start getting the commendations. Buy the chest. If you have purchased Crota's End, you can run the Eris quest that ultimately rewards you with some gauntlets that will get you to 31 in the set. This will save on your mark grinding.
While you are doing this. Begin to run the weeklies at the highest level possible. At 25 I think you can do the one that awards 6 strange coins. You will need to team up with some Aggies here. Most will be happy to "sherpa" you to the highest level the game will actually let you go into the fight.
Get 13 strange coins and buy whatever helm Xur has to sell on the weekend for your class. It may take a few weeks for one to come become available. You could buy a helm from the vendor (120 marks), but thats alot of grinding. And you will need to replace it anyway with an exotic.
Level it all up. and you are 31. Go run Crota's End. All the gear here is RNG and you can only get it once per week. Keep running it until you get a set. Now you are 32.
While doing all this, you will need to make sure you are maxing your marks for the week. 100 per week.
You are at the real grind of the game.
Assuming you have ZERO rep (which Im sure you have some). Process will probably take about 2-3 weeks.
Good luck!
