In Destiny, Glimmer is a kind of alternate currency. We show you how it is currently farmed and present the best Glimmer farming spots in Destiny. With this, you can afford new weapons during the Iron Banner event. It’s going to Mars.
Glimmer demand in Destiny explodes due to Perun’s Fire and Gheleon’s Demise
Glimmer is essentially the standard currency in Destiny. What would be gold or “credits” in other MMOs. Until now, there was actually little need in Destiny to deal with farming possibilities for it, as upgrade materials or strange coins were always much more interesting (how to farm upgrade materials, we show you here).
The demand for Glimmer has changed a bit in recent days with the arrival of the Iron Banner event: Since then, the demand for Glimmer has significantly shot up. Not only are Lord Saladin’s items quite expensive, some Guardians buy them double.
Dropship on Mars spawns endless mobs – with a little trick
Currently, the following farming method for Glimmer seems to be popular: First, you should get a supply of a certain item, the “Resupply Code,” which doubles your Glimmer yield for ten minutes. The Cosumbale drops from the Cabal on Mars. Conveniently, that’s also the farming spot for Glimmer. Additionally, set the story mission “Exclusion Zone” on Mars to level 18, which is the easiest variant where Legionnaires still spawn.
Let your Ghost open the door and then behave just like the guy in this video: You simply shoot everything and go absolutely berserk. As seen in the video: The key is to let a Legionnaire live from the drop-ship and reset the event, either by having your Guardian killed by the Legionnaires or you help them out and take care of it yourself. It’s pretty “gamey” and reminds a bit of loot-cave times, but it works – at least for now.
With this method, you should make about 20,000 Glimmer in half an hour, at least according to the Guardians on reddit. With the money, they are currently buying the Iron Banner weapons Perun’s Fire and Gheleon’s Demise double, re-roll the perks on a rifle in hopes of getting a better version than on the other one. If a better version pops out, they stash the rifle and continue re-rolling on the other.
