This is a simple guide to show you, how to farm the various planetary materials.

Before you start! Equip a ghost with the combo detector perk(list below) and do the route. When you're done, fast-travel to the same place and do it over.
You will get more than +350materials/hr

Legendary shards
Now that you have collected so many materials you can use them to level up each vendor.
The vendor every time you level up you get legendary gear, legendary shards and a shader.
You can also dismantle the legendary gear/any legendary gear, if you choose to, and get additional shards.
Tips and Tricks
- Public events also reward materials, although not many.

- Hunt's top tree on nightstalker shows resources on the radar.

- Zooming in with a sniper shows resources and caches that are farther away. Although, sometimes quests and materials have the same indicator.

- You can kill captains to get extra glimmer, materials(it doesn't take that long).

- Don't go looking other places for materials if you didn't find any materials on the route(some might be doing the same as you so don't waste time).

@Dark Spirit Trading with Spider can get really expensive, really fast.. especially for those that aren't sitting on a ton of resources, or for new players in general; regardless of having Forsaken. This guide does a really good job of outlining quick and easy loops of acquiring the materials yourself, which I think was the primary objective from the one who posted it anyway. :)
