Very nearly level 18 now. I've only done the first campaign on Venus so would it be safe to assume that if I just play the rest of the story I could hit level 20?

So I reached level 20 about two days ago now, haven't played much but I haven't progressed much either.
What's the best way to level up at this point? Is it the rarity of the armour? and if so whats the best mode/method to get rare armour

I'm in the same position.
I'm trying to get Crucible marks at the moment to get myself some sweet weapons but it looks like its going to take a while. 100 Marks a week with the best weapons being around the 150 Crucible Mark price we are looking at a new piece of kit every 10 days or so. Though I suppose if you are really giving it the hours and hit the 100 Crucible Marks early you could move on to Vanguard and thus get 2 pieces of kit every 10 days.
I've got loads of stuff on my inventory page and not actually sure what it does. I haven't found any armour or weapon in the last 6 hours of Crucible/Strike that is any stronger than what I have now. Think I got some decent Rare items at about level 18 and its still about as good as I've found.
My Auto Rifle is about 194 attack and Fusion Rifle 190. These are pretty much what I use. Is there still ebtter non-Legendary items out there or to get better am I looking at Legendary only?
There's definitely better non-legendary items out there - I picked up 2 rare weapons both about 205ish plus a rare chest plate that gave me +5 light - whatever that means, but when you're in orbit and you see your name and you usually see your yellow XP bar - I have nothing there like I haven't improved at all?
It's bizarre I don't know how close or far away I am to levelling at this point and I don't particularly wanna play 10 days worth of crucible to move up 1 level when I see loads of players who are level 24-26 and the game has only been out for a week.
There has to be a way, and we're just going about it the wrong way so far
Read the rest of the thread. After level 20 XP has nothing to do with levelling up, you need armor with Light. Only once you have enough light will you move up the next level. You can tell by moving the cursor where it says light, and you get a progress bar.
This is what I wanted to know - thanks!
I've only been doing the crucible for the last few days and got upto level 15. I then did a random mission on the moon which I think was a level 8 story mission. My new Sniper rifle/Auto rifle made the mini-boss very very easy.
Genuinely not sure I understand the levelling up point yet, particularly re Crucible Marks and such, but despite my naivety, I'm really enjoying it.

I can't see myself sticking with it. Already a bit bored of the daily heroics, bounties, strikes etc. at level 20. Seems like it's a pain in the hole getting the equipment to go beyond that too.
Getting the equipment to do what tho? If you aren't actually enjoying the game then........ there's no point.
It's the gameplay that has me coming back at the moment, lvl 26 being the carrot that has me grinding to get into that raid... but I'm enjoying playing. As soon as that stops, I'm done no matter what level I've got to... done the mmo thing to death. I'm in this for the gunplay at the moment...
Is it true the Raid takes 10 hours?
I'm sure it can do, but then once you know what you are doing... probably half that. I doubt it's in one sitting though...
So I stopped playing this around lvl 17 or so. Is it worth carrying on or is it just going to be an soul-destroying grind at end-game? Thinking of just giving this a rest and trying Diablo 3.
Whats the reason to grind your level past 20?
Content like the Vault of Glass. 6 man raids
Nobody is forcing you to do it but it looks a fun challenge

Skirmish is good fun. With just the three players and points for reviving, it feels much more tactical.
Haven't tried skirmish yet... is it good then?
Maybe I have chosen rightly by not getting this in the end. I'm quite happy still storming about on Diablo 3.
I have not even got 6 players on my friends list, how the billy joe feck am I supposed to schedule a 10 hour raid session with 6 other people?
Anyone want to attempt the raid this Sunday?

I've had 2 legendary engrams now and they've both been hand cannons... how unlucky ffs
What lvl are you now?
My first blue was a hand cannon. I was a disappointed, but it was nice being able to 2-shot Knights with my primary.
I'm level 23, close to 24.
Yeah hand cannons are actually brilliant for strikes but when it comes to pvp they are just useless.
Anyone up for farming nexus?
I don't know what that means but sure.
What we did last night.
Fair enough. Coming on now.
Need a 3rd if anyone wants to gain some light or even levels.
...Don't know which story it is 
Won't be long guys, internet's thrown a fit.

You've missed me get a legendary engram haha
We miss you.
It came up on the screen haha, didn't you see?
@Laidback Levo would you recommend switching to Bladedancer?
Nope.
Yeah, the supercharge is a lot better then the golden gun.
We don't see each other's light drops.
Legendary engram shows up for everyone though
Alright. Training it back up. Just got a grenade but have no supercharge, woo!
Had one blue so far.
