Part that sucks the most is that the gear that drops is based off your current level. So any rares you find will still be level 16/17 until you build up the light levels to find level 20 blues :) Can still find level 20 legendary and exotics. I found the best way to start is grind out a few strikes to get gear and level up engram ! once you get a level up with him you get some rares and high chance at legendary ;3 ... once you get bored of that go kill some people and test your RNG in the crucible :)
