You need to buy gear from the vanguard or crucible just to hit lvl 32. Now pieces of armor are cheaper but still a bit pricey if u need all 4. After that crota would be easier this way and u can do lvl 32 POE to get armor cores which give u another 6 light. Afterwords you should try to do a lvl 34 POE and ascend a piece of armor to get u to lvl 33. Lastly idk about a lvl 33 doing skolas but if u got a maxed gjallarhorn (which almost everyone should) then people might b able to help a lvl 33 more then lvl 29. Not trying to b mean but just trying helping out fellow guardians.
