but, but, just earn the gear for them on your first character!

Yeah, personally I can't wait to level the other two. After spending so much time on armor looks, it's going to be so awesome to experience two totally different styles.

I think starting with Titan helped me, actually. You get so invested on what's the least dynamic gear you can find so that when you start a Warlock or Hunter, capes and coats look SOOOO EFFING COOL WHEN DO I START.

Correct. For the purposes of gearing alts (still thinking it over, but this may have been very intentional), only Vanguard armor is viable (you can buy from the vendors that aren't your class). Weapons you can buy for other characters with either Vanguard or Crucible marks.

Either way it should be 100% possible to get an alt to 26 with that character still at Rank 0 on all vendors.

Ah okay, gotcha :)

Yeah I think a faction is quickest to get your 1st (since it funnels all rep into one) now I am taking my faction item off and going to level vanguard as I exp my armor.

Normally I've noted it takes like 3 guys to bring down an Arc Blade user. What's a good way to deal with these guys? Likle the guy you were replying too, I was emptying up a clip from my Heavy Machine gun into an Arc blade user and still died.

Easiest way is to hit them with a grenade and then shoot at them. I've taken down tons of arc blade users that way. Usually a point blank shotgun shell takes off half their health or so, so they just have double when in their super.

So I am clear..
All PVE bounties default to Vanguard, unless I wear a class item?
All PVP bounties default to the Crucible, unless I wear a class item?

Is there a way to make them all V or C?

Wait, you can get powerleveled this way?

Because goddamn, it would be nice to have other classes to give Legendaries you can't use to.

Yeah.

Earlier today I was working and had my Ps Vita remote logged into Destiny. I sat and let some people level my subclass for me. Got rare engrams and a legendary engram too, out of it (no worries, kids, it turned into a blue rocket launcher).

It'll work for alts, too.

Every time you level up, he sends you a present in the mail. That really seems to be it.

I haven't fully worked out the logistics here but I'm pretty sure you can gear out alts with Vanguard gear purchased on your first character and weapons purchased from any vendor.

That would work for weapons but you can't buy vanguard gear for other classes.
 
What do you mean 5 spawns? 5 enemies in the room at the start, 5 spawn points...? and how do you complete the strike without shooting him?

There are 5 separate add spawns. Once you kill them off, there are no further adds. Then you just take your time killing him off.

There are also a few spots where you can go hide and snipe all the adds with minimal risk. Think corners. Kill the first group which includes the knight w/swords and then move your team to the bottom left corner. Get one person placed far in the corner behind the big rock and the other two down in front. Just pick off guys as they come and revive as necessary to take out the adds. Once they are all dead you can just snipe at your leisure.

The wizards will also likely stay up on the catwalk if you time your move right.
 
Having all kinds of issues right now :( Got centipede error several times, once I finally get in said I need Playstation Plus which I have, and got some error about not being able to use user generated content, or messaging features :/ Not sure what's up.
 
Ah okay, gotcha :)
You can make it if I'm sleeping when the next thread hits, of course.

And as I said, I'll put your guide in the next OP!
Dax, just make a new character, get to level 3 or w/e, then go sit mostly afk near people farming the treasure cave.

Free leveling.
But that sounds boring!
Can we have

Destiny |OT4| Thank you, Dax01

then?

Or if not

Destiny |OT4| sploatee needs attention because she GOT A TEN KILLSTREAK AND WON A MATCH
Sploatee, I am giving you attention. Right now. You have my attention at this time.

(The next OT title is going to be 'Get your ass to the Vault of Glass and help Luke Timmins find better pants' unless people have strong objections to that).

(Explanation for title can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43h1zbSzHhw#t=16m01s).
 
Found this patrolling Earth:

That's going to be hilarious in pvp.

Mine has different bonuses. Radar active when aiming and something else. Interesting, guess only Exotics have the bonuses locked in.

maxed out my gun yesterday, it's incredible

What are the bonuses on that?

Treasure cave? And does this work re: getting xp? I can't stand to sit through any more destiny cutscenes on my alts.
 
Could you expand on this please? How long waits between spawns and how do you finish the strike without shooting him?

Also anyone up for the nightfall? 25+ pls!

I posted the details up above. Its actually really easy once you get set up. Every once and awhile a knight slowly charges but three team members firing simultaneously does the trick. You can google videos of it if you like.

I blew up an Interceptor in PVP with my golden gun super in one shot the other day. One of my prouder moments in the crucible I think haha.

It was probably already damaged but I'm going to pretend it wasn't :)
