Hey guys, I saw the suggestion somewhere on the forums earlier today and still have yet to see a compilation of all the current farming methods so I thought I would go ahead and write one up.
Some of these videos and walk through's that I am linking may be from beta builds and no longer functional, if that is the case just let me know in the comments and I will have the links removed :)
Also I'm going to do my best to include videos that are precise and show how you get to your current locations as the lack of a map can be really daunting to new players or people whom don't recognize your farming areas.

best method of farming 1. cap crucible/vg marks/13-23coins/23motes a week 2. Buy Gear 3. Level 27 in one week full purples with 1 orange. 4. K done whens the next content drop?

They patched the shrine of oryx one

in my opinion is the Crota Farming Method with Black Wax Idols the best Solo Farming Method, you save a lot of Time because you farm directly both (engrams & Glimmer) and you have tons of Enemies here -> "higher" Chance of engrams I made a Video about this Method - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=humZOzbozmE - all Credits to the Reddit User where have found it.

Is there a way to save posts? This is amazing!
-
No, not watching any of these. I'd rather take my time and earn things than conquer the game in 1 week
-
Any way to bookmark this on companion app?

I don't think you guys know what the story was suppose to be Yes, it is suppose to last 1O years but let's focus on Destiny itself It's story for this single installment was nowhere near satisfactory It was very short and didn't expand on its own content Let's start at the beginning You wake up and fight through a wave of Fallen to get out I thought "ok this was a pretty good intro" but then Bungie failed to suck us into the world of Destiny There was no setup You're basically thrown into the world and told to do whatever a flying ball tells you to do Bungie had such a good chance to fill our minds with a rich and creative world but they failed to do that Missions are bland "go here and shoot that" missions which ultimately add up to a short and shallow story Even if this short story is to be continued by DLCs and later titles, the story mechanics need major work It's doesn't go in depth at all They just expect you to go along with whatever they say without questioning any loose ends or anything There are about 3O minutes worth of cutscenes which doesn't quench your thirst to know about the world of Destiny at all Your character is a mindless drone with no personality that just goes wherever he/she is told and does whatever the Ghost tells him/her to do Speaking of which, the Ghost is empty as the voice that plays him It just serves as lazy exposition with no personality or depth The reason Cortana was so successful was because she played an active role in the plot You actually cared about her whereas the Ghost is just there to tell you what to do and where to go He's only there when needed There are practically no supporting characters and what little there are, have no personality This leads to a rather empty and unfulfilling world The lack of depth really turns me off from the game Even worse is that Bungie really stressed this PvE thing over the multiplayer which led everyone to believe that this part of the game was going to be the biggest and most immersive part of the game too But it ended up being as bland as a COD story Also, tone The toony happy go lucky attitude of the game really derails from that post apocalyptic world of Destiny And they can't maintain the epic feel of it either It's very inconsistent and I have no idea what I'm suppose to be feeling half the time Grimore is a terrible way to tell the story No one wants to read the story online They want to experience it first hand in all the awe Destiny has to offer They should make smaller side missions which expands on each part of the game like side missions that have you exploring the Fallen or side missions which have you diving into the past of the Darkness The worst part is that Bungie purposely held back on this project They already had DLCs planned before the release of the game They purposely held stuff back like Resputin so that they would have content "later on" They should've given it their all and then come up with more content as they think of it And for those of you who think that DLCs are going to save the game, I laugh at you Bungie has been working on this for 5 years You really think that everything is going to be all better after they release small content that they've only been working on for a few months? Overall, if the story is suppose to be told over 1O years but each installment is as bland as this one, it won't be a good story The whole 1O year story will add up to as much content as one Fallout game Also, make the enemies different Besides their looks and names, they have have the same weapons, attack style, and overall play strategies And the locations too They're just different in looks Make one planet really obscure with traps around every corner Make another map focused on verticality with different techniques to survive Weapons too They're all bullet weapons with no different mechanics I'd like to see guns that have tracking rounds or that fires a stream Vehicles need work too I would add vehicles that have multi person slots since this is such a "social game" Or even flying ones Just more diversity in general Finally exotics When I find an exotic, I don't feel like I accomplished much It's just a gun with more damage or something It should have awesome feature like firing explosive rounds or firing black holes Same concept with armor too Now I know not everyone is disappointed but as you can see, a lot of the forum is not happy and even you know that the story needs some work I'm just disappointed that they had 5 years to work on this with the biggest promises I've seen from a game, only to blow it TL;DR The story, regardless of whether or not it's taking place over 1O years, is far too short for one installment of the game and it needs improving But besides that, the world is pretty cool and the multiplayer is fun Just my opinion on how the story could be fixed

I've never gotten any of these to really work with any type of frequency. It's all uncommon items and MAYBE a blue item

Thanks!

ive found that just doing bounties and patrol missions would give me some pretty damn good stuff. yea farming can get you some amazing gear but itll just destroy your mind if your impatient with every chest or every low level enemy you kill you dont get a blue or even purple drop. when i do patrol and bounties i not only get points for my faction and cash when i get something from postmaster and its purple i get very excited and feel rewarded.

I'm back, and i think i found another decent farming method, very passive. This is 100% UNCONFIRMED, i'm still testing it, and i'll edit once i find out, but after about 15-20 chests, i started getting 1-2 blues/greens every chest afterwards. And unrelated note, my clan is recruiting anyone 26+ who is down for raiding. We're pushing it all day once raid hits to be one of the first to finish it! Hit me up in-game for anything related to topic or clan! :) Xbox1 Gamertag - En7ropy

Thank you!

I personally prefer chest farming in the previously known glimmer farm of beta. It's time consuming and something to just grind at if you got nothing else you feel like doing. I spent an hour and a half in the rockyard and walked away with 13 blues and 3 purples.. Most of it turned to be a little on the useless side but I did walk away with a exotic helm for warlock. Though I play hunter it makes me excited to know my lvl 20 warlock when ever I decide to get there will have a bit of an advantage. Also one of the legendaries came from a chest.. So for anyone wondering, you CAN get legendaries from basic chests! So don't ignore chests even if you aren't farming at them :)
-
I will be using this....but did you add the one of how to farm in the back of the rocket yard on old Russia?
