Max your Vanguard marks every week on all characters and buy gear to break down, try get into a VoG group every week because you'll get heaps of shards from it.
If you don't know how to do VoG hit up the reddit sub DestinySherpa and ask if they can teach you.
If you need gear there are plenty of people that can drag you through the first 2 checkpoints of Crota, think you just need to be 27.
What system are you on?

I had considered using marks for gear and breaking it down, but havent been able to buy anything yet as I just bought some gear to actually use this week lol. I have done up to the two Ogres on Crota with someone, all I got there were some boots that I dont feel were that worth it :/ I am on PS3

Edit: you can only get to 31 with ascendant gear and an exotic (unless iron banner gear uses it). You'll end up not needing ascendant shards at all if you use raid gear, I've got hundreds saved up in the hopes that they'll be useful in HoW

It is only 3 points higher in Light, and the perks seem Raid specific.

3 points becomes 9 across 3 pieces of gear, they do have raid specific perks but the other perks can be used for pve.
