Legendary gear - 80 materials
Exotic gear - 64 materials
It probably takes an hour to farm 70-100 materials, big whoop right?
But did I tell you it's going to be the most mind numbingly boring thing you've ever done?
Edit: Alternatives,
buy with glimmer or marks
buy with coins or motes
earn via missions; amount scales by difficulty
earn via crucible
Material bounties
Trade weapon parts or class materials for
Earn during patrols and public events
Edit2-update: You know it's boring when your ascendant materials out number your planet materials
451 ascendant materials
182 planet materials
I even have more strange coins than I do planet materials...
Edit3: Math
Will take you 21.76 hours to farm 1,632 materials if you're gathering 75 per hour on average.
To hit level 29 it will take 304 materials if you have one exotic piece.
To hit level 30 you will most likely replace those pieces with raid equipment. That's another 240
(304+240)3 = 1,632
1,632/75 = 21.76
21.76 very boring hours
This is not taking weapons into consideration.

Edited by xAMERICAN MEATx: 10/24/2014 9:31:30 AMMy problem is the fact that if you want gear from the factions you need crucible marks. Well I do not really play crucible all that much so earning 100 marks a week will never happen in pvp for me. My vanguard marks are done Tuesday evening after the reset. So I farm my fuc*ING as* off for material to purchase armor or guns from the factions. I think that they should either A. Let you use vanguard marks for gear from factions B. Let you purchase say 5 or 10 material using 1 mote and or 1 strange coin. C. Let us get some as reward from public events or patrols on given planet.
