The boring cave (Destiny)

It's a lot better after you hit level 2 because legendary armor is available. I've only gotten one legendary drop for boots, but between those and a vanguard chest piece I'm right on the edge of hitting 26. When the marks cap resets I can play 2 more strikes and have some legendary gloves, which should get me there. Should have a helmet next week, so then I'll have all purple armor. Been getting strange coins from drops, so I'll exotic shop on Friday. I'm having a lot more fun planning out my path to legendary gear than I was just hoping some would drop.

If you're going to cave farm, be sure to pick up the patrol missions for kills so that you can get some rep along the way. Bounties too.

Yeah, I'm just in the midst of the rep grind now. I usually do almost all of the bounties available, but some of the patrol missions are so dull that I have trouble getting through them for rep alone with no potential for higher light gear. Picking up a patrol before grinding the cave is a great idea though. I could just reject the "drive for 5 minutes" ones and stick to killing based ones.

If the game offered something with a high rate of armor and rep acquisitions, I would be all over it. I need both right now, and run out of rep activities after a couple hours.
