Hey, I have been playing for a little bit, and have my Warlock up to Level 24... I have Rare armor with light to get me there, and I am assuming i need to start collecting Legendary armor to get past 24. So I'd like to buy Legendary from the vanguard or from the Faction guys (I have been doing New Monarchy).
The thing is, they cost marks and "commendations".. how do I get a Commendation? I read somewhere that I would get a Commendation for each Rank I reach with the Faction or the Vanguard..? Is that right? I am Rank 1 with the Vanguard, but did not get a Commendation then.. will I get a Commendation for Rank 2?
I can't buy armor until I reach Rank 2.. so I expected to be able to buy two items when I get there (expecting to get 2 commendations by the time I get to rank 2).
Can anybody clear this Commendation thing up at all?
thanks

You will get a commendation for every rank up starting at rank 3

2 RepliesYou get a commendation for ranking up to rank 2 and above. Necessary for buying weapons (once lvl 3) chest piece and helmet. One commendation is necessary for each piece of gear. When you get to level 2, you should be able to get a chest piece (with the commendation) then glove and boots (if you've saved the marks). Get an exotic helmet from xur and boom, your fast track to level 31. Once you get to lvl 28, start running the vault of glass on normal to get shards and energy and do the daily on highest level. You should be lvl 31 in like 2 weeks with regular non-crazy play.

It is only the head and chest pieces that require commendation to purchase. So don't worry about them for arms and feet, though you will still need marks for all the armor. My understanding is that you will only start getting commendation after you rank to level 3. So even at level 2, when you can buy armor, you have to wait another level for your first commendation. Pain in the butt I know :(

If you want armor from a certain faction you need a commendation from said faction. You do get them from leveling up your rank with them. You must have gotten to level one before commendations were released, sadly you don't get reimbursed for levels you already obtained before the commendation update. I believe only helmets and chest pieces require commendations so you should be able to buy up to 3 pieces if you have the marks.
