Glimmer and various planetary and enhancement materials are constantly needed for upgrading gear, purchasing bounties, and interacting with vendors. Efficient farming strategies can save you a lot of time and ensure you always have the resources you need.
Glimmer Farming:
- Public Events (Heroic): One of the fastest ways to earn Glimmer. Always trigger the Heroic version for better rewards.
- Lost Sectors: Quick and easy to clear, providing Glimmer and gear to dismantle.
- Bounties: Many bounties reward Glimmer upon completion.
- Dismantling Gear: Dismantling blue and legendary gear provides Glimmer.
- Rainmaker Consumable: Use a Rainmaker (if you have any left from older seasons) for a temporary Glimmer boost from precision kills.
Planetary Materials Farming:
- Public Events: Heroic Public Events are excellent for specific planetary materials.
- Lost Sectors: Clearing Lost Sectors on a planet will often yield its specific material.
- Ghost Mods: Equip a Ghost mod that highlights planetary materials or chests on your radar.
- Vendor Exchange: The Spider (Tangled Shore) or Rahool (Tower) often sell planetary materials for Glimmer or Legendary Shards, or exchange them for other materials.
Enhancement Core/Prism/Ascendant Shard Farming:
- Nightfall: The Ordeal: The most consistent source for these high-tier materials, especially at Legend, Master, and Grandmaster difficulties.
- Empire Hunts (Beyond Light): Higher difficulty Empire Hunts can drop Enhancement Prisms.
- Master Rahool: Can exchange Enhancement Prisms for Ascendant Shards, and Enhancement Cores for Prisms (expensive).
- Season Pass: The free and premium tracks of the Season Pass often reward these materials.
- Banshee-44 Bounties: Daily weapon bounties from Banshee-44 often reward Enhancement Cores.
Always keep an eye on your material counts and prioritize farming activities that provide what you're currently low on. Don't be afraid to use vendor exchanges if you have an abundance of one material and a deficit of another.
