Earn the maximum weekly Vanguard score.
Trophy Type: Silver

---

The score that this trophy is referring to are Vanguard Marks. Unlike reputation which has no weekly cap, the maximum amount of Vanguard Marks you can earn in a week is 100. Also, you will be unable to start earning Vanguard Marks until you reach level 18 and the second Strike Mission, Vanguard Viper, is made available in the Strike Playlist. The first Strike unlocks at level 16, but does not give any Vanguard Marks.

These are five methods of earning Vanguard Marks, as well as the amount given for the varying difficulties and levels:


Gold Tier Public Events - 4 marks
After you reach level 18 you will start to get 4 marks per gold event. Your first successful gold tier Public Event of the day will reward you with 4 marks, 25 reputation, and the chance at an Ascendant Shard or Ascendant Energy. If you need yet another incentive to attempt the gold tier each and every day, keep in mind that you must gold 10 total public events for the Public Defender trophy.

Upgrade Material Exchange - 5 marks
Collect and turn in 50 Spinmetal, Spirit Bloom, Helium Filaments, or Iron Ore to your class Vanguard vendor to receive 5 Vanguard Marks, 200 glimmer, and 25 reputation. This is extremely inefficient since it takes far longer to gather 50 resources than do a strike or daily. Since you need a large amount of these materials for equipment upgrades I suggest avoiding this step, unless you really enjoy gathering mats for hours.

Important note: Weekly score resets 2 AM PST (5 AM EST / 9 AM GMT), and the 100 mark cap must be reached before then for the trophy to unlock.
