Glimmer Farming Tips n' Tricks

Ok, so now there are tons of new things to spend glimmer on and Iron Banner 3 next week, you may find yourself looking for the most efficient methods of collecting large amounts of this currency. Well this guy is here to help you out! I'll start with my prefered method and then list other good methods. I'll also list some positives and negatives about each method. [b][u]Cosmodrome Hive Hunt[/u][/b] Step 1. Load up Cosmodrome Patrol Step 2. When you land pop a Black Wax Idol Step 3. Turn about 90 degrees left there is a small building that has stairs going down, take those down and turn right and follow the right wall to a room with 3 Hive Majors. Kill them. Step 4. Exit the room and run back up the stairs you came down. Note you only have to go up to the landing not all the way up. Step 5. Repeat above steps until you are done. Pros: - This method can net between 700 and 1000 glimmer per minute if you are fast - These majors have extremely high drop rates for more Black Wax and the items you turn in for 200 glimmer - Extremely easy Cons: - Boring and repetitive - Sometimes other players will screw up your spawn cycle - Sometimes 1 Vandal and 2 Shanks spawn up top and must be killed for the Hive to respawn *NOTE* You don't have to leave the Hive room. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EqTgLv413fM Credit goes too MunQPoC for finding this [b][u]Exclusion Zone Smackdown[/u][/b] Step 1. Load up The Exclusion Zone mission at 18 with Heroic modifier on. Step 2. Get to the part where Dinklebot has to alert the Cabal to our presence. Step 3. Activate Resupply Codes. Step 4. Kill everything except 1 Phalanx Step 5. Die and repeat until done. TIP! Lower your level and armor as low as possible to allow yourself to die easier when there is one Cabal left. Pros: - It's kinda fun for awhile - You can get a bunch of Resupply Codes and engrams Cons: - It's not the fastest or easiest method - If you are high level you have to kill yourself with rockets/grenades and those are limited, because it takes waaaaaaay too long for a lone Cabal to kill you - If you mess up and kill everything you have to reset the mission and that takes too long and is a pain in the ass [b][u]Tiger Strike Shuffle[/u][/b] *NOTE* It doesn't HAVE to be Tiger Strikes BUT those are the quickest and most profitable in the long run since each strike will take less time. Step 1. Load up Tiger Strike Playlist Step 2. Use appropriate glimmer consumable Step 3. Have fun. Pros: - Easy and you aren't doing the same thing over and over - Earn Vanguard Marks AND Rep while you farm glimmer Cons: - This isn't even close to efficient when your goal is to farm glimmer quickly [b][u]Omnighoul Bitch-Slap[/u][/b] Step 1. Load the new DLC strike on Earth. Step 2. Activate Ether Seeds Step 3. Kill Fallen Step 4. Once you get to the Hive enemies activate Black Wax Step 5. Repeat strike PROS: - You get practice on a new strike CONS: - Omnighoul is a class A bitch [b][u]Showdown at the VoG Corral[/u][/b] *credit to Brandon 2266111 [quote]Don't forget about a Gatekeeper save in the VoG on hard. Pop a blue polyphage and take out all of the majors and jump off of the edge. Pros: *you get better at landing critical hits *you get better at dodging enemy fire *you learn the keep shooting/find cover threshold *room is fun to explore Cons: F*cking Hob-Goblins[/quote] Ok, so that's all for now, I'll continue to update this post and I welcome other tips, methods and comments.

            • Since DLC hit I usually pop a black wax idol and head over to the Defend The Warmind mission. Right after you enter his bunker I kill the hive on the catwalk, kill the 4 waves of thrall that come pouring down the stairs, kill the one major knight, then simply kill myself by jumping off the catwalk and rinse and repeat. DON'T enter the room that contains Rasputin otherwise the checkpoint will start in that room. I usually make about 500-1000 glimmer in a pretty short amount of time.

              • Me and some friends were tooling around last night trying to find a good spot to farm Vex because of the ridiculous surplus of Polyphage's. We were doing the Ishtar Collective mission on Venus. Basically, get the part where you leave Dinklebot to do his thing and you get the three waves of Vex. Kill em all, just don't go back towards Ghost - jump off the cliffside on the right from the entrance way. Takes a couple minutes to clear, seemed to make about 1,000 - 1,500 glimmer per run (might be high estimate, would have to go back and check). Could easily get two runs in per Poly use, and more dropped so I probably came out ahead on those :( Two questions though - anyone found anything faster? Maybe going through train tunnels on Mars? - can anyone confirm, do higher level enemies drop more glimmer? I was doing these runs on 26, but if doing them on the first Heroic tier drops same glimmer you just jump off cliff at end to restart.

                • good post. it is super important you die doing the exclusion zone method, otherwise you have to complete the mission before doing the "farm" section again

                  • Gatekeeper VOG!! Guaranteed 1000 glimmer each time you kill the adds in the first room and wipe! You can do it solo!!! Note: don't forget to use blue pholypage

                  • Minimum glimmer from each exclusion son with maxed bonus is around 600 glimmer(I haven't checked how many enemies are thee but there's at least 10 majors that turn easily into 480 glimmer) each run usually takes me 2 minutes which ends up around 3k glimmer per resupply code, also they drop 1-2 network keys each run which are worth 200 glimmer at the cryptarch

                    • Wait for hive to move against fallen as a hunter bladedancer and pop a black wax. Have it set so ou do the ground wave with your special and have the passive for kills extending your special time. You can sit out the room on the far end just throwing ground waves inside and have your special up the entire time of the event.

                    • Better than all those posts like: "F-you bungie, your game is turd" Much kudos to you good sir. May glimmer flow through your hands endlessly.

                      • Interesting that we're all glimmer farming now. Just when destination material farming was removed for being boring and tedious. Not being salty, simply making an observation.

                        • For thw Omnigul Strike, why not just get to the last room and kill minions and leave Omnigul alone?

                            • I prefer the Exclusion Zone way. I used to do the 3 hive but that felt slow and I kind of want to save my idols for Eris. I guess I would want a comparison on how fast you can kill 9 of those hive (3 waves) versus one wave in the EZ (not including all the reds)

                              • Don't forget killing thrall on the first moon mission, where you first open the temple doors! Pros: -tons of hive to kill -pretty fast, just shoot a rocket into the crowd and finish up any remaining minus the one knight. -possibility of getting engrams (I guess that's true with any of these though) -can be repeated without going to orbit. Cons: -easily turns a very quick farm into a slow one if you miss your shot. -you can accidentally kill the knight that you need to keep alive which triggers a checkpoint. -repetitive

                                • For exclusion zone, ignore the first ship and run past it to the second one, and kill all the yellow health bar legionaries only. Kill yourself after, rinse and repeat. Much faster and more efficient this way.

                                  • I find your first method really ineffective but for exactly the reasons you stated - other players are constantly getting in the way. I find exclusion zone method most effective myself.
