Majors and Ultras (enemies with yellow health bars) such as [[Riksis, Devil Archon]] drop Glimmer when killed.<ref name="E3demo"/> Normal enemies only drop Glimmer if the player has used [[Ether Seeds]], [[Black Wax Idol]], [[Blue Polyphage]], or [[Resupply Codes]], or a Legendary [[Ghost]]. Glimmer is also gained by disassembling items or finding some in loot chests<ref name = "TG"/>. Another source of Glimmer comes from selling [[House Banners]], [[Silken Codex]]es, [[Axiomatic Beads]] and [[Network Keys]] to the [[Cryptarch]]s for two hundred fifty Glimmer each. | Majors and Ultras (enemies with yellow health bars) such as [[Riksis, Devil Archon]] drop Glimmer when killed.<ref name="E3demo"/> Normal enemies only drop Glimmer if the player has used [[Ether Seeds]], [[Black Wax Idol]], [[Blue Polyphage]], or [[Resupply Codes]], or a Legendary [[Ghost]].

In ''[[Destiny]]'', Glimmer is capped at 25,000; one way to circumvent the cap is to stockpile the aforementioned items and sell them to the Cryptarchs when needed. In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Glimmer is capped at 100,000. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*Glimmer is apparently buried deep within the earth and can be extracted from the ground, as the [[Fallen]] will attempt to do so with portable [[Glimmer Drill]]s in some [[Public Event]]s.<ref name = "Alpha">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref> Or it is possible glimmer was stored in vaults and other secure locations before the Collapse and now they try and excavate the old vaults to gain access to the glimmer within. | |||
*According to the Grimoire card, Glimmer is a "programmable matter" which can be transmuted into nearly anything. This function is not displayed in-game, as the only shape Glimmer takes is small cubes. | |||
