Glyphs

When you loot chests, bags, and corpses you can find glyphs. Other times you can purchase them from the various shopkeepers throughout the Northern Realm. These will add an enchantment that are degree specific and will increase Sign ability bonuses. There are two types of glyphs: Lesser and Greater.

The Glyph of Infusion (rating: Magic) is required to enchant a piece of armor as it’s the base component to crafting Lesser Glyphs. When disassembled, it provides silk (1), powdered pearl (1), feather (1), and Monstrous blood (1).

When other glyphs are disassembled, Lesser Glyphs (rating: Magic) will provide silk (1); and Greater Glyphs (rating: Relic) will provide both silk (1) and infused dust (2).
