Well first off, when you make a new character you kinda have to go through the motions and just do normal (or hard) missions until you get access to bounties. Once there, just grab as many bounties as you can, wether it be PvE or PvP (or more recently, Queens Wrath). Try looking at bounties that can be done in one mission mode, for example, like "killing a mission boss", and the options are "killing x enemies before they hit you" and "getting x melee hits", you'd want to go for those as you could probably finish all of them in one swoop. Other than that, I just run patrol missions when im really really close to the next level, but the main (and fastest imo ) is bounties. Hope it helps

woah, i didn't know they allowed level 2's into the crucible. I have control open to me. Think i'm going to utilize that. Then rise above the story on Earth and blow through it with a level 10.

This has probably been discussed several times and I failed to check the forums for it (forgive me admins). I initially attempted to make this for my group only but I think i failed to click something to keep it private. But public is good aside from annoying users with repetitive topics. I'm trying to speed rank my supporting cast to earn more sharable loot.
