Guide: How to Farm Vanguard Reputation Quickly in Destiny

Destiny is a big game. Traversing its handful of worlds and learning how the MMO-shooter operates can be quite a task. Youtuber Taravangian has laid out a pretty interesting route on Earth's in-game Cosmodrome, wherein players can attain around 600 or more reputation per hour. Unlike the infamous 'Loot Cave,' this trick does no take advantage of any sort of glitch in the game, so you can feel good about your acomplishment. Getting this valuable Vanguard reptuation opens a lot of doors in Destiny.

Take note that if you are not making use of the Nightfall bonus, that you may only be able to get 400-500 reputation per hour.

The method here is actually very simple: take advantage of the extremely lucrative VIP target tasks that the 'Patrol' missions give you access to. Finding these VIP target missions can be done easily by locating the mission symbols containing the 'circle with a star.'

1. Start off in orbit, floating above the Cosmodrome in Old Russia.
2. Proceed to begin the 'Patrol' mission specific to Earth.
3. Check the Steppes, Divide and Rocket Yard for VIP target tasks.
4. Complete one task in each area, if possible.
5. Return to orbit.
6. Rinse and repeat.

The route that you will end up following tends to be quite linear. After familiarizing yourself in the first few playthroughs, you should be able to complete a run in just minutes. With this method, you can net nearly 100 Vanguard reputation every ten minutes. This number is inflated by the Nightfall bonus, but 500 reputation points should be attainable without it, which is still pretty immense.
