New Player: What do I spend glimmer on?

[Varah]

I played the game for like a week back when it was still on battle.net. I just came back yesterday and started playing again on a new character and realized my glimmer has been capped this whole time. What's the best thing to spend it on at this point? If it matters, I have Forsaken but not the newest DLC.

Bounties and upgrading gear

It's also used when reclaiming things from your collections screen.

That is not a reason the OP should spend by entire his 250k of glimmer.

Like the first reply pointed out, bounties is the best thing to spend glimmer on and you can also visit later Spider on tangled shore to buy resources and other unique bounties.

It is used in small amounts for quite a lot of things, such as swapping mods on weapons/armor, pulling from collections, etc. If you want a dump, there are several ways to do so: you can buy raid banners from Hawthorne (which are usable in certain activities outside of raids too, like dungeons and the menagerie). You can exchange it for other resources at Spider, on the Tangled Shore (his stock rotates daily I believe). And since you haven't done a bunch of it, the imperial barge on nessus (north-east corner of the map) has many chests you can open for imperials/runes for chalice/menagerie things.

after buying bounties, and if spider let you, spam 5000 glimmer > legendary shard

Basically everything minor.

Really it means nothing until real end game when you upgrading or adding mods buying shaders, etc.

Bounties too

Go to spider if you end up broke

Season's almost over but you could still try doing the empyrean foundation stuff. You need a lot of glimmer to farm god rolls from the obelisk.

Your options:

- Buy bounties, lots of bounties. Buy them even if there is a small chance that you will fill them in a day, because you never know... and in the worst case scenario you can shard the rewards and turn them into useful materials.

- If you do raids, get a stock of Raid Banners.

- If you already unlocked the chests at the Nessus barge, once a week you can burn quite a bit of that glimmer in exchange for useful runes.

- If you still overflow with glimmer, go to Spider at the Tangled Shore and buy planetary materials with glimmer. You will need them later.

- And of course, buy mods, upgrade modules, enhancement prisms and ascendant shards from Banshee... to use in upgrading your weapons, using your glimmer and other materials you got from Banshee.
