Where Do I Buy SpinMetal/Relic Iron?

Was playing around last night on an alt profile, and the Vanguard Quartermaster in the hangar had them.

Yeah. I remember those places to farm, but I was specifically referring to "buying" these materials. I don't get why they would remove the ability to do so.

Those are found out in random places SpinMetal is on Earth, Relic Iron on Mars, if I remember correctly. Find it while doing patrols, roaming about.

Spinmetal and later in the game, helium filaments, spirit Bloom and relic is used to level your gear past level twenty. If you want somebody to play with or have more questions feel free to add me on live

34? Ah hell... we're going to have to fix that. If the loot cave is shut down I'll show you how to farm for boxes to get spinmetal. You should easily be able to max out the 100 mark limit pretty quickly by collecting spinmetal. It's kind of boring so
what I tend to do is collect spinmetal for about half an hour then go do other stuff (strikes, bounties, missions, etc.).

Your reputation is shown at your class vendor in the Tower (the staircase that goes down below by where the bounty guy is). Go talk to your vendor and to the left is a circle showing your reputation level. You need level 2 to start buying Legendary armor
with marks. Reaching level 3 will automatically earn you a random Legendary weapon, and I think level 3 is what allows you to start buying Legendary weapons from the Vanguard Quartermaster.

To earn reputation you can do a bunch of stuff. Bounties seem to be the fastest IMO, so make sure to do all the Vanguard bounties as often as you can, but you can also gain rep by doing strikes, patrol missions, random public events, and weekly/daily events.

I'll probably be on around 11 pm CST tonight. We'll get you hooked up.
