Glimmer stands as one of the crucial currencies in Destiny 2, essential for obtaining a variety of weapons and upgrades. To maximize your gameplay experience and ensure you always have enough Glimmer at your disposal, it’s vital to understand effective farming strategies.
The process of crafting and focusing weapons can rapidly deplete your Glimmer reserves, with a full stack of 500,000 disappearing in the blink of an eye when pursuing desirable rolls. Fortunately, there are numerous farming methods to amass Glimmer efficiently, allowing you to engage in the game without constant worry about your resources.
Utilizing Glimmer-Boosting Mods and Tonics
To enhance your Glimmer acquisition, start by employing two essential tools: the Large Tonic of Glimmering and the Ultimate Glimmer Booster ghost mod.
The Ultimate Glimmer Booster is particularly effective, providing a 65% increase in Glimmer earnings across various activities. This passive enhancement applies universally, ensuring that every Glimmer drop—whether from activity completions or enemy loot—is significantly boosted.
Furthermore, combining this mod with the Large Tonic of Glimmer can yield even more rewards. Introduced in Episode Revenant, this tonic amplifies the Glimmer rewards from combat engagements, allowing players to collect substantial amounts—approximately 10,000 Glimmer for every few hundred defeated enemies.
Maximizing Rewards through Heroic Public Events
For those looking to farm Glimmer efficiently, participating in Heroic Public Events is one of the fastest approaches available in-game. The EDZ (European Dead Zone) is particularly fruitful, boasting frequent Public Event spawns that allow players to easily complete multiple events in a short span.
Completing a Heroic Public Event equipped with the Ultimate Glimmer Booster can net you between 15,000 and 20,000 Glimmer per event. Engaging in this method can accumulate upwards of 150,000 Glimmer within an hour, effectively supporting all your crafting and focusing endeavors.
Taking Advantage of Double Nightfall Rewards
Occasionally, the rewards from Nightfall missions are doubled, presenting an excellent opportunity to enhance your Glimmer stockpile. Although Nightfalls typically yield minimal Glimmer, during these special events, players can earn substantial amounts, especially when paired with the Tonic of Glimmering.
This strategy not only provides increased Glimmer but also offers double Vanguard progress, leading to additional rewards such as Vanguard Engrams and improved vendor ranks. Remember to monitor the weekly Nightfall modifiers to make the most of these events.
Discovering Xur’s Weekly Offers
Every Friday, Xur appears in the Tower to offer a selection of Exotics, Catalysts, and Glimmer. Typically, Xur stocks over 100,000 Glimmer per week, which can be purchased using a few Strange Coins.
Keep in mind that his supplies refresh weekly, meaning you have to wait until the next weekend to buy more. This makes Xur’s offerings a supplementary resource to your other Glimmer farming methods.
Leverage the Season Pass for Additional Glimmer
Each season introduces a pass containing 200 tiers of rewards, many of which include Glimmer. By progressing through the Season Pass, players can earn up to an impressive 570,000 Glimmer, all without the need for extensive grinding.
This approach is particularly beneficial for players who need immediate Glimmer for crafting or focusing tasks, allowing you to stockpile rewards and redeem them as necessary.
Utilizing Rahool’s Material Exchange
In the past, Master Rahool was the go-to figure for Glimmer farming through Legendary Shard exchanges. While that option has been removed, he remains useful for trading in other materials like Dark Fragments, Phantasmal Fragments, Herealways Pieces, and Upgrade Modules.
While trading in these materials for Glimmer is worthwhile, it’s prudent to save at least a few Upgrade Modules to enhance your gear. Once you’ve gathered enough Glimmer, consider visiting Iron Banner to see which top-tier weapons are available in the limited-time PvP mode, ensuring you’re always equipped with the best tools for combat.
