Displeased with the grind. (Destiny)

It is cheesy but in addition to doing the triumphs, you can farm planetary materials by going AFK in one of the forges. Wear gear that drops your light level down to 300-400. That way, you are only matched up with other AFK-ers. Set it up overnight, and you get about 700-800 materials and (I think) about 15k-20k glimmer.

Keep the materials for the tributes or convert them to legendary shards by going to Devrim or Failsafe. Then go use the legendary shards to buy the other planetary materials from the Spider and deposit them for at least 18 tributes to get the mission started.

Repeat each night and you should have the tributes knocked out a steady pace. I started Saturday night, and I expect to be done with the purchasable tributes by this weekend. That is 35ish of the 45 needed for the Bad Juju catalyst.

I find the principle of this irritating. Why even bother playing the game? Not to mention, how is this even possible considering you get booted from the server after being idle for a few minutes?

Boo to this method.

Side rant: These dang streamer millennials and their constant need for instant gratification. Just play the game and earn the gun!!! Sheesh!! Back in my day if you wanted the special loot you had to play the game on the hardest level, solo, on legendary, with all skulls on, uphill both ways, in the snow, with no shoes, and barbwire around our feet so we didn't slip on the ice, naked, with bears chasing us, and that's how we liked it!

pfft. Youths.

I mean, Bungie said they wanted people to find the most efficient way to farm glimmer. If you don't even have to be there, sounds very efficient.

Also back in my day it wasn't the loot that was special. It was just the act of playing the game that was special :-p
