[quote]The boss gives you nothing [/quote] You get 6 Vanguard Marks for completing the strike. When I do Lvl 24 Strikes, I do it for the marks, not for the random drops, which almost never occur. If I want to farm, I go on patrol. If I rush the strikes I can buy [u]guaranteed[/u] legendaries. If I waste time shooting every little enemy, I will highly likely get [u]nothing[/u]. If I get something (after hours of wasted time), it's probably just ascendant shards or an item i don't need / already have. [quote]Vanguard Marks 5x faster farming Public Events[/quote] If I rush to every event, I may get 1 in 15 minutes. Sometimes they won't happen or just some hordes of enemies start fighting. If I remember right I get 4 (?) marks per event. Thats 20 per hour but probably only 12-16. If I rush Lvl 24 strikes, it takes 15 minutes (with Lvl 28) and I get guaranteed 24 marks per hour, 18 at worst, but still better than probably 12-16.
