So I'm currently at Lv25, just shy of 26. Have a legendary and an exotic armor piece, the rest are blue.

How should I go about gearing up? Glimmer farming seems easy enough, and chest farming seems really quick with that spot in the Mars patrol. I'm already vanguard mark capped for the week, but I'm bottlenecked there by the rep. Seems like the only way to really get that up is to spam run patrol missions on Earth?

I'm just not really sure where to go from here. All my gear is Lv20, so other than marks, I probably won't really get gear upgrades from 24 strike playlists. I've been working on Vanguard faction so far and that's it, but it all slowed to a halt with the rep blocking me. About 1/3 the way through rank 1 right now.
