Advice: Getting to level 26 without any drops

Hello everyone. I wanted to address people's concerns with raids. Finding a group: Use this site http://www.destinylfg.com/ No need to complain about not having friends! Stop wasting your time and go to that site and post your guardian. I am available to everyone on Xbox One as well. Add me: Leonhart (go figure!) Legendary armor: Having trouble finding legendaries? Me too. I took four days off last week, I tried everything from farming to strikes to PvP. I've decrypted around 50 legendary engrams without Any luck. I have full sets of blue lvl 20 gear that is upgraded but am stuck at level 24. No luck with the drops. However, none of my efforts were wasted. I acquired 100 Vanguard marks, and 100 Crucible marks. This week the limits will reset and I will aquire 200 more. With 400 marks you can easily buy a full set. This will bump you to the required level. The gear is rare and the drops are brutal, trust me I feel your pain. But we can make it without being slave to the rarity of drops! Stay optimistic. My take: Don't waste your marks on weapons. These are not needed to enter raids. Armor IS needed. And while weapons would help, you cant even set foot into the Vault without the needed armor. And chances are, you will find weapon drops during a raid. I would also advise NOT to join a faction until after you have a full set of Legendary armor. Because your reputation/ Vanguard marks will go to waste. Mix and match Vanguard armor and Cruicible armor to hit level 26. Get your full set, Then join your faction of choice. Exotic weapons: I know a lot of people are struggling finding an exotic and seeing all of these posts of people saying they got Thunderlord as their first Legendary engram. Don't get discouraged! Exotics are easier to acquire than you think. And I am not referring to the unforgiving purple engrams that result in green drops. Exotic bounties. I did every bounty I could last week and even skipped some that I didn't feel like doing (like headshots in the Crucible. A sniper is not my weapon of choice). Not only do you acquire AMAZING amounts of rep/exp/etc, you will eventually be rewarded with an exotic bounty. In fact, I got two. One for doing Vanguard bounties, and another for doing Crucible bounties. This week I will soon have: A full set of Legendary armor, Bad Juju (exotic pulse rifle), and Really Good Advice (exotic LMG). None of this will come from random drops, and all of it will be earned. And when I do finally get a legendary/exotic drop, I will appreciate it a lot more. I hope this advice helps some of you and raises your spirits. See you starside
