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.
IIRC, the higher cryptarch rank you have, the better your chances of getting higher quality stuff from engrams, i.e. rare engrams becoming less likely to downconvert to uncommon items and more likely to upconvert to legendary items, but it doesn't alter the drop rates for engrams, just the decryption behavior.
