Not really, there's a few things you can do pretty easily: 1) Do the weekly strike (which is lvl 22) to get several coins per week 2) Do the daily bounties and mission for vanguard rep and marks 3) Do a bunch of lvl 24 strikes at 6 vanguard marks each (and 25 rep) 4) As soon as you get 13 coins, buy the armor from Xur on the next Friday/Saturday 5) As soon as you get to vanguard rank 2 and get 130 coins, get both two of the following: boots, gloves, chest (whichever you didn't get from Xur) 6) Play stuff to level your gear and upgrade the armor on it to get more light. 7) You'll be like lvl 26 by now (and if you did it right you will have had hours of fun!!!) This way, even without any legendary drops you'll have 2 guaranteed legendary armor pieces and an exotic.
