Multiple Characters?

[Alastor's Alibi]

Many people say its important to have multiple characters to level up fast. Can someone explain it to me? Isnt it triple the grind?

you have different sets of bounties on different characters
you basically can do 3x the amount of bounties

Is the economy/currency shared between all of my characters? I know the vault is but is the planetary resource/ glimmer / legendary shards shared?

Leveling up is faster because you do not have to start leveling up your second character from scratch. You basically have to transfer weapons from your first character to your second and start grinding out activities. Your weapons would already be higher light level so the random armor drops will also be close to the light level your weapons are on. Then, you start grinding out powerful, prime, and pinnacle engrams on your second character and pray that you get higher light weapons instead of armor. Armor between different character can not be shared unless you have the same class of characters twice or thrice for some reason. Rinse and repeat this for your third character and then start grinding out 3rd character to 2nd character to 1st character after the weekly reset

Everything is shared between characters except for mission progress and armor (between different class of characters) and also there are some triumphs that you can only do on some classes

Thanks for the info!

Just an important note about this one in case anyone was wondering, a lot of powerful and pinnacle rewards are actually on a 'per class' rather than a 'per character' lockout. If you do DSC on a Hunter for the pinnacles, a second Hunter would not receive any, so there's no way to boost a character like this, you'd have to do it on Warlock and Titan and hope for weapon drops.

However one thing you can do - imagine you have a Hunter on 1,240 and a Titan on 1,230. The Hunter can visit Xur and buy whatever Titan gear he offers, and it will be at the Hunter's power level of 1,240. But then of course since it is a Titan piece, it contributes towards the Titan's progression.
