I'm having trouble getting past lvl 26. I've done plenty of strikes and few Eris bounties and a lot of regular bounties. I have rank 1 Vanguard and FWC. Do I just need to get them to level 2 and 3 to really do anything?

You can keep grinding your Vanguard level/marks up to buy faction armor. Once leveled, a full compliment of faction armor will bring you to level 30. Or you can tackle the Vault Of Glass raid and you might get a lucky armor drop each week. I recommend doing both. Once you're high enough level to enter the Crota's End raid, keep doing that until you've got all the current raid armor to make level 32.
