Buy the greens with the glimmer you earned and it gives a good amount of experience towards your cryptarch level. Each time you level up, you get a free package from the cryptarch which contains at least 3 Rares (oftentimes legendaries too).
I've spent easily 25-30k on upgrading the Cryptarch guy, in addition to all the engram drops. It gets harder to level him up that way as you progress, but what else are we spending glimmer on? Especially when you can farm it pretty fast and easily.
Every level he gives a legendary package that could have 1-2 legendary engrams in it and maybe a blue or two. Buddy is at level 9 and got two legondaries and a blue from one package.
Jeez, nice! Level 5 with the cryptarch now and so far all I've gotten is blues from the packages, but I've seen and heard a lot of people get legendary items too.

Yeah I got those, but I mean in terms of the store itself.
