Stop turning in your artifacts (House Banners and such) to the cryptarch and stockpile them. I had over 300+ artifacts equalling 60,000+ in my vault last night before I bought a helmet and 2 spears. My glimmer is at 85 now, but I still have access to over 50k in my vault. It will make your next banner purchases effortless.

This is true. I bought 2 Spears, the chest piece and the helmet. Also, the IB matches drop a decent amount of loot while your grinding through it. So, cash those artifacts in the end when you finally need it. Glad someone told me to store those up before the last IB. It's the only way to overcome the glimmer cap.

Same. Saved me from farming 17k glimmer

Did this just not to that scale. Had 16k in the vault. Bought everything but gold spiral (2 helmets, 2 chests, 2 spears, lash, million million, 2 class items, and an emblem) it helped so much.

I only do this once my glimmer is capped, but think I'm going to start saving them all the time going forward.

You'll find consumable much more useful if you bank [u]all[/u] your artifacts. I have over 100 Axiomatic Beads.

Edited by Ninjambie: 5/4/2015 6:25:27 PMSame here. Once I got Rank 4 I was done with IB. I had damn near no Glimmer, but I did have almost 100k in artifacts in my vault. I turned some in and purchased my items. No farming, no last minute, "Oh shit, I need Glimmer fast." Some people don't think about tomorrow it seems.

Well if you have a lot of shards when dlc drops you can trade them in for glimmer

Before my purchases I had 85k (the cap plus 60k). I don't think I'll ever need to exchange anything for glimmer.
