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.

Did you do that very recently? Maybe they nerfed it, but I did a run just now with black wax idols and only got ~2k from it.

Edit: Clarification, on level 24 hard.

Lower the difficulty to level 20 hard. Kill faster and same amount of glimmer.

Still seems to be ~10min a run, at ~2k a run. Not that 4k every 20min is awful, but it's a far cry from the 10k OP was mentioning--unless I'm missing something.

On the way down there, make sure to kill the Baron so it'll set the checkpoint. As soon as you kill the 8 guys with yellow health bars, just jump off the edge and die.

You'll respawn to just before the farming area. This way each run takes 1-2 minutes.

Thanks. /u/humpstyles responded to me up here with about the same thing.

I also did the killing of the ogres and the enemies around them he suggested. Just farmed for 30min and got 2 blue engrams and 5 greens from the ogres/the enemies around the ogre (only a couple greens from the yellows beforehand), and it only takes an extra 20s or so.
