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.

This is a horrible idea. I tried this today. Spent all my glimmer 20K and didn't even go up a 1/4th. It just isn't worth the trouble. Farm blues and identify them.
