If you're staying in one area, waiting half hour for a public event you're doing it wrong. I can get 3 publics done in the time it takes you to do one strike, and at 4 marks per gold im making double what you are, in the same amount of time and probably with a better chance at ascendants. With half the effort. ;-)

Then how do you do it right? I can go from area to area and never run into a public event.

There is an app, google play store or apple store. Search "destiny timers" you can select certain planets or ALL public events, I usually only select earth. And I mostly only use events in the divide, steppes, mothyards and shore. App tells you how long until weekly resets and how long until xur as well. :-)

There's a website that has the timers for Events.

Well still I have more fun playing strikes then patrol. Every strike I do I get 2-3 engrams and I can go in patrol and murder a ton of enemies and get nothing.
