Vanguard

Vanguard is a faction in Destiny. The Vanguard consist of three high-ranking Guardians who are considered the best of their respective classes. Each Vanguard sells armor for a specific class. They reside in the Hall of Guardians in the Tower.

Vanguard Reputation
Vanguard Reputation is an attribute awarded to Guardians for completing Vanguard-issued bounties, Patrol missions, and Strikes from the Strike playlist. Upon reaching rank 2, Guardians will be able to purchase armor from Commander Zavala, Cayde-6, and Ikora Rey. Upon reaching rank 3, Guardians will be able to purchase weapons from Roni 55-30. Starting at rank 3, Guardians will receive one to two Legendary items (not engrams) in the mail every time they rank up.

Vanguard Marks
Vanguard Marks are the currency used to purchase Vanguard weapons and armor from Vanguard vendors. A Guardian can earn Vanguard Marks beginning at level 18, but they are limited to earning a maximum of 100 per week and an inventory cap at 200. Vanguard Marks are rewarded for completing Strikes in the Strike playlist, completing Public Events, and are spent when exchanging materials with Roni 55-30.
