Yeah the daily missions are lvl 22 and you can turn them up to 26 or 28. 26 gives one ascendant and 28 gives 2, and recently they just made it so you get materials like Relic Iron if the mission is on Mars, or Spinmetal if Earth, so you won't have to farm those as much. Also it is confirmed by Bungie that the Postmaster not giving out ascendants for the daily public event is a bug that will be fixed with the patch on Tuesday.Originally Posted by Inferno.
I'm just at the start of level 27, I've got a fully upgraded set of boots (legendary), 2 from the end upgrade-wise gloves (legendary), 2 from the end helmet (legendary) and a completely untouched exotic chest.
My weapons are a blue autorifle (242/max upgraded), legendary sniper (1 upgrade from the end) and a machine gun (2-3 upgrades from the end).
I'm a titan with the first skill tree maxed and I haven't touched the other. I play it with a level 27 hunter with similarly leveled equipment (we've done everything in game together).
I wasn't aware you could crank up the difficulty on the daily missions, so if it was completed at hardest I'd get 2 upgrade materials a day?!
With that gear you are Vault of Glass worthy for normal mode, which will really speed up the ascendants you can get, but you will need a team of 6. You can only do the raid once a week on each difficulty per character and actually get loot.
Also when you say first skill tree is that the shield or the fist slam? Because shield is by far better for PvE, and the Hunter should be Gunslinger, Bladedancer just gets you killed in PvE
