I got lvl 2 Vangard yesterday just in time when I reached 70 marks.

Legendary.... c'mon you will be mine.

Now I'm undecided if I continue the Vangard up to lvl3 or start to level up the Future faction.
I believe the Vanguard Rank 3 reward is a random Legendary (but it could easily be for another class). So take that for whatever it's worth.

Does buying that increase cryptarch rank?
Nah. They're just useful items and a good investment of your constant glimmer supply.

I swear to you, no one has any idea what increasing the cryptarch rank does. Try to forget about it until we have more information.
 
Only week 2 and bounties are repeating. And then there's Monday where there are Salvage bounties with Salvage not available.

This is not encouraging, Bungie.

Warlock I'm guessing, too?

I decided to go for Vanguard rank 3 for the weapon selection since I put in so much work to get Rank 2. Once I get VG to rank 3, gonna put all my effort into FWC.

I'm in the same situation but with crucible instead. Don't know if I should join a faction now are get to rank 3 first.

Exotic bounties are a little mysterious for the moment. I got mine the instant I hit Rank 2 in Vanguard rep.

I have gotten total of 4 Exotic Weapon Bounties just by doing regular ones and returning them. Never bounty popping up has lined up with rep ranking up or anything like that.
 
...My cryptarch is level 4 - does this actually mean anything?
I posted this in response to someone but I got this straight from the strategy guide:

After you level up the Cryparch past one or two (whichever level gives you access to buy the uncommon engrams), each additional level only nets you a chance at a random reward for levelling him. That's it.

We need one more guy for the weekly strike, if anyone is up for it message me/ friends request me on psn at YzeNup

Almost fucked that up at the end there, my bad man.

15 strange coins racked up, 500 rep away from Vanguard Rank 2. Looks I'll finally be out of this Level 24 hellhole by Friday.

The story is so fucking dumb. There so many things I would like to know. Like what is the last fucking city on earth like. They make big deal about it but you never see it.
 
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but the reason strikes don't seem to be dropping much gear is the advisories on Bnet are the way to open them up. I have one sitting there right now where I need to beat 5 more strikes (50 total) and then cloaks, marks and bonds will start dropping too. Perhaps once you hit 75 or 100 it makes legendary or exotic gear available as end of round drops too?

I did not receive nothing with lvl 2 :(

I'm thinking to level up Vangard to 3 and after started Future.

Warlock I'm guessing, too?

Yeap... Warlock for life.

I will do the same... the possible Legendary gear on lvl 3 made my mind.

It's weird, though. Mine also popped as soon as I hit rank 2. Makes me wonder if there aren't multiple possible triggers, one of them being Vanguard rank 2.

Uh that's the worst. Someone was doing that to me last night, so I just kept firing at him instead of the mobs.

Yep, we had to go to orbit because a guy sat down in front of the spawn :/

Also, I've seen a few people in this thread looking for people to play with. If you're in or around the EU time zone, feel free to look up my small clan Team Ribena on bungie.net.

We're still leveling at around 25-26 and will try and attempt the raid when we are ready.

I'd be down for the strike but I'm only level 20 Hunter right now. Happy to give it a go with you, PSN is GKW212. I'll be on tonight (in about 7 hours).

I'll add you either way as I'll be leveling up in the next few days.

Woah! I never knew this! Thanks for the info! That explains a lot, and why I just star Ted getting shader drops up the ass! (seriously I got three bloodpacts in the last 2 hours).

Nice find.

Wow just got a Legendary Engram after completing a patrol mission. That's a first.
Edit: Strange Suspect get. That's 4 legendary primaries.... I think my level is affecting the loot quality.

this is referring to the bonus on the Grimoire card, which you can see at Bungie.net. This is the only bonus it gives so I don't believe you will receive anything else after that (i.e there is no bonus that states exotic gear will now drop etc).

EDIT: example http://www.bungie.net/en/Grimoire/2/4611686018428658176/Activities/Strikes click on the Strike introduction then the chart icon to see the ranks and bonus applied. Rank 1 give you the bonus but rank 2 and 3 only give you + Grimoire score

But I don't want Marks, yet. They're cosmetic only (for now), so I don't care. As much.

That and I already have an amazing looking Rare one that I'm using instead of my Legendary one.

Am I doing something wrong or do the daily Strikes not have matchmaking?

Is this because everyone gets a different daily Strike?

The grimoire card bonuses are apparantley tied to loot drop rates. If you get to a certain level of that bonus you get more chance and more materials and more x.

It's doable solo, if you want to go with friends you can though. Just need to invite them.

Praise RNGesus!

I may try it solo tonight, then.

Level 20 Strike alone seems like it might take a long time, though...

What are Grimoire card bonuses? Anywhere I can read more about this?
