Once you get to level 20, the only way to level up is getting armor with more and more light. You can see here: (http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Light) the total amount of light needed to get each level up. You get the most light from exotic and legendary armors. The best way to get light armor starting at level 20 is to play the vanguard strike playlists. Also blue engrams will tend to give you armor with light on them (if they actually turn out to be rare armor when taken to the cryptarch). When you get to reputation level 2 with the vanguard you can then buy legendary armor from your respective vanguard to your class with vanguard marks. Also if you save up on strange coins and motes of light, Xûr is at the tower from friday morning to sunday morning (though his location changes each week so you have to look around to find him), and he sells exotics. And obviously there is finding legendary engrams and hoping the cryptarch doesnt turn them into a blue or dare I say... A GREEN
