This guy puts it all into perspective, using the buffs bungie has put into place for us rank 4 can be attained in 6-7 hours of solid gameplay. A simple break down of it is
Rank 1: emblem +10% bonus to rep
Rank 2: shader +10%
Rank 3: class item +10%
Tempered can be purchased daily

Assumption here is that you are completing all bounties each day. This looks like a best case scenario. Personally, I only log in a few times a week and am not able to complete all bounties for the day either. A more realistic number seems to be around the 15-20 hour range. I seem to average around 400 rep per hour including bounties - of course this rate slows the longer I play per day as I would run out of bounties. The unknown factor is how much more effective does tempering get each day - is it an additional 1% per day stacked on top of the original 10% or are we talking an additional 5% or 10% per day stacked? Unfortunately, it seems like Lord Saladin had a few kids since the last IB and needs to pay some hospital bills because his costs shot through the roof. I just spent most my glimmer on exotic bounty requirements so if I did reach rank 4 or 5, I only have enough to buy either an armor piece or a weapon. Would be nice if he took strange coins as an alternative currency.
