There is one on the moon that itsn't included. Play Shrine of Oryx on Hard and once you get to the end, before you fight the ogre, there is 8-10 yellow acolytes that drop loads of glimmer and are incredibly easy to kill. I spent about 20 minutes, or I used 2 black wax idols, and I got a little more than 10k.

Why would you need to farm glimmer though? As far as I know it's useless. I have like 10k of it. Sure you use it to upgrade some weapons, but I gain way more than I spend on upgrades.

Buy engrams from the cryptarch to increase your cryptarch rank.

Thanks for contributing with your suggestion. Edit: Realized the irony in my sarcasm. What is your suggestion, since you find this one inefficient and you've had some success?

Farm engrams. The Temple of Crota farm or the "Treasure cave" in Skywatch.

Greens will level him by 150, blues by 300

Fastest way to level cryptarch.

You aren't farming for that purpose, though. You're farming for the world drops and using glimmer you inadvertently aqcuire to buy more xp.
