Glimmer is an item that is necessary in order to perform an upgrade upon weapons and to buy items from the shop.

Usable Locations[]

Glimmer can currently be used:

  • To purchase common to rare quality items from vendors
  • To purchase Legendary-tier items from event coordinators
  • As a material for upgrading weapons and armor

Obtaining Methods[]

There are multiple ways to obtain glimmer in destiny:

  • Breaking down a piece of weapon or armor
  • Killing a Major or Ultra enemy gives players 25 glimmer
  • Using a Booster and killing enemies associated with that booster.
  • Players can sell 50 of any material to one of the quartermaster for 250 glimmer. (Removed with The Dark Below).


The Dark Below Changes[]

  • In The Dark Below players can use Glimmer with an Exotic Shard to convert a legendary item to the new level of power
  • Players with The Dark Below expansion can no longer sell materials to quartermasters, instead players can use Marks to buy materials from the perspective Quartermasters.
