Post Help not tears

No spoilers just advice. Do the level 30 versions of the story missions if you can. You get Assendent mats out it. Mission 1 is cake Mission 2 is fsking hard. Bring a friend and some solar weapons. Seriously it is gloriously hard. :) I had a blast Mission 3 was a lot of fun. I ran it again afterward for giggles even though I got nothing for it... and would run it a 3rd time again just for the memories. You get something for turning in the 3rd mission. You need to do the rest of the missions to unlock the weekly and nightfall. Vanguard and crucible boots and gloves do NOT need a commendation, chest and helm and of course weapons do. Faction armor has the same name and look but is upgraded. Same deal as above. Commendations come from vanguard and crucible rank 4 and up gift baskets. Sometimes from the faction rank up baskets as well. If you don't have a G-horn look at the vanguard rocket launcher. It spawns bomblets upon detonation. The new vanguard and crucible weapons have perks for mainly stability and recoil at the cost of magazine size and impact. I am not sure if I like or hate that. The cryptarch still is a mother loving bastard. Just have fun :) I could go into more detail but I won't spoil the joy.
