Having one character will allow you to receive the following: 9 Strange Coins 100 Vanguard Marks (1 Armour Piece from vendor a week) 100 Crucible Marks (1 Armour Piece from vendor a week) 1 Raid: (At least 10 Ascendant Materials) If you were to have 2 characters, you will open yourself up for the Ability to have a differential use for excessive gear you pick up. Allowing you to bring up 18 Strange Coins a week from Weekly Nightfall. 14 Ascendant Materials + Engrams for doing the daily on each character. 200 Vanguard/Crucible Marks (2 Armor pieces) 65x2=130 so that means you will have 35 vanguard marks left over afterwards on each character. THE FOLLOWING WEEK: Earn another 100 Vanguard marks to but 2 Armour pieces that week. So in 2 weeks you could have 6 armour pieces which would be 12 Ascendant shards. If you do this step for crucible thats 24 in 2 weeks!!
