Basics

FIRST SET UP AN ACCOUNT ON THE BUNGIE.NET WEBSITE This is super helpfull for keeping track of gear and quests and other stuff.

Termanology;

Subclass; 3 subclasses for each class. Hunter (Bladedancer, Gunslinger, Nightstalker), Titan (Defender, Striker, Sunbreaker), Warlock (Sunsinger, Voidwalker, Stormcaller).

Experience Level; 1-40 lets you equip better gear.

Light level; is the average of you gear’s light level.

Vanguard: Group that runs the Player vs. Enemy or PvE. you will rank up this faction by playing story missions and doing strikes. The main three Vanguard NPC’s can be found if you go down the stairs and go into the large room at the end of the hall. The 4th NPC that sells the vanguard weapons is in the tower hangar.

Crucible: Group that runs the Player vs. Player or PvP. You rank up your crucible level by playing PvP Activities. There are two NPC’s selling Crucible gear in the Hall before the Vanguard.

Gear;

There are 5 gear rarities, Common(white)-level 1-2, Uncommon(green)-level 2-40, Rare(blue)-level 20-40, Legendary(purple)-level 40, Exotic(Yellow)-level 40, (only one piece of exotic armor and one exotic weapon equiped at once)

There are also a few gear types;

Armor, which includes: helmets, gloves, chest armor, boots, Artifacts(level 40), ghost.

Weapons, which includes: primary(Handcannons, pulse rifles, scout rifles, auto rifles. Pick up white ammo),

secondary(Snipers, shotguns, fusion rifles, sidearms. Pick up green ammo),

heavy(Rocket launcher, heavy machine gun. Pick up purple ammo).

The Tower: The tower is your main social space, here you can buy gear from vendors using legendary marks, you can also pick up bounties every day from the NPC that is above the stairs straight ahead after you spawn in. In the tower there are

1. Start off by doing the Vanilla story then taken king then Rise of Iron. ( you are able to play all expansions because if you start a new character and want to only do Rise of Iron you can skip directly to it) after doing that you can do the dark below and house of wolves for fun.

2. materials, there are many materials that can be catigorized into a few sections.

   Currency: |Legendary Marks| are used for buying weapons from NPC's in the social spaces, they are also used for upgrading and infusing Legendary gear, you can carry up to 200. |Strange coins| are used to buy exotics and other end game items from a vendor called XUR that come once per week on friday and saturday. |Glimmer| used for most upgrades and purchases.

   Planetary Mats: There are 5 planetary materials. They are used for upgrading gear(buying perks). Planetary materials are obtained by either going to the planet that has the materials(spinmetal=earth|helium-filaments=moon|Relic-iron=mars|spirit-bloom=venus|wormspore=dreadnaught)

Other: Motes of light are used for either quickly upgrading the gear that is equipped or donated to your faction in exchange for rep. Then there are consumables that can be used to increase the amount of glimmer aquired from a certain race for 30 minutes. (ask me about anything else).

1. Send me screenshots about the mission. Also Quests can seem daunting, but all you have to do is tab over in the menu to the progress tab and look at what the next step is for the certain quests. Click on the quest to mark it, this will add a green marker to an activity that needs to be done for that quest.

2. There is a very big endgame that requires a high light to complete, at this time the light level cap is 400 and you will need to be around this light to complete these activities. Here are some of the endgame activities.

Raids, raids are the Bigest PvE activities and reqiure 5 other friends to complete. They can be done once per week and consist of a couple of small boss fights and puzzles that lead up to the final boss fight. There are 4 raids at the time, Vault of Glass, Crota’s end, King’s Fall, and finally Wrath of the Machine. The level 42 means that enemies are super hard. For PvP there is Trials of Osiris, and Iron banner, These are PvP activities that are affected by LIght level whereas other PvP activities are not. Trials is 3v3 and there and no respawns, only revives. There is trials every weekend. For Iron Banner it is 6v6 and the gamemode changes every time the event is active. There is iron banner once per month for a week. The legendary gear is much cooler than blue and green gear. If you click the little arrow pointing down you can select shaders. Shaders are aquired from all sorts af places. They change the color of you armor and make you look cool.

Additional answers: Already answered All engrams and gear blue and up go to the post-master in the tower, he is in the small building to the left of spawn. I am not sure what item you are talking about because legendaries are generally only available after avchieving level 40, but the materials you used are planetary materials that i already descibed. Transfigure? If you mean infusion, which is available on legendary and exotic gear, it is a way to apply the light level of one object to another object and deleting the object that was infused. Weapons have light and therefore means it goes up to 400. They affect your overall light level. Inspect your subclass and play around whit the perks and for out what you like. Message me if you have questions about anything
