How to Get Legendary/Exotic Gear
Required: Lots of vanguard marks, crucible marks, faction reputation, and strange coins. You can then buy legendary gear from vanguard/crucible vendors in the Tower. Exotic gear, it can be purchased from the Xur, Agent of the Nine over the weekend.
In one week you can gather 130 of each mark which is more than enough to get you three pieces of armour for about 250 marks. You can also get the Sparrow upgraded from Xur, Agent of the Nine and get other legendary weapon/armour.

You can buy an armor piece for 13 Strange Coins and 23 Strange Coins for a weapon.
