I'm at level 26 but can't seem to get any new gear to get any higher, I've been trying everything I can think of. what's the best place to try and improve my gear?

BasedGa6e pretty much answered your question, the only thing I would add is that levels 25-27 felt like they took FOREVER for me to get beyond so keep at it. It felt like I never would. Vanguard gear was really the answer for me. Once you get to Rank 2 and 3 you can really step up your level and gear. And now you're fortunate in that the Vanguard/Faction/Crucible armor will get you to level 31 (with an Exotic) compared to 29.
