I've been playing a lot but still don't understand a few things like-
1) How do you get crucible marks and vanguard marks? What are they for?
2) When you dismantle a weapon or armor what is the point? Why does it give you those blue orb looking things and what do those orb things do? You can't sell old stuff?
3) Some guns and armor are for online versus and some are for story mode? What happens if I use a story gun in versus or a versus armor in story? Will it suck badly or will it be the same anyway?
4) Is there any way to customize the color scheme of your outfits, or are you stuck wearing mismatching gear because you have to use the highest rated stuff?
5) What do those discipline intelligence ratings do and how do I increase them?
If anyone knows please fill me in. I'm enjoying the game a lot but just have no idea about a few things. Thanks in advance.
1 - crucible marks you get mainly from completing PVP bounties and to a lesser extent PVP games. Likewise you obtain vanguard marks (or whichever alternative faction you've chosen to align with) from vanguard bounties and strike missions. You use them to buy legendary gear from the different faction vendors.
2 - the blue orbs are glimmer. More importantly, dismantling unused weapons and armor gives spare parts needed to upgrade weapons and armor
3 - no difference in weapons. Use whatever you like for either pvp or pvp
4 - you can get "shaders" for your armor...they're a rare reward from pve or pvp missions
5 - strength, intelligence & discipline are used to decrease the amount of time needed for grenade & ability cooldowns. High level pieces of armor give bonuses to one (or more).
