As usual, Blizzard keeps changing existing game mechanics. The well-known glyph interface has disappeared. Glyphs are no longer unlocked and they disappear after use. You will have to buy new ones regularly. But how do you use them?
Using, swapping, and removing glyphs
As before, the glyph is initially located in your inventory in WoW Legion. Right-click on it to open the spell book. Then use the cursor to select the corresponding ability you want to affect. Eligible skills will be highlighted directly. The icon of the spell will receive a small pink icon in the upper right corner. This indicates that a glyph has been used. When you use this ability now, the glyph effect is triggered.
If we want to switch the glyph, we proceed similarly. Right-click on the glyph and then left-click on the ability. The only difference is the security question that now appears asking if we want to overwrite the effect. This process can be repeated as often as you want. There are no restrictions. Disadvantage: Each spell can only have one active glyph.
Maybe we don’t want to replace anything, but delete. For this, we need a dust, which can be purchased from the reagent vendor. The system is identical: Right-click on the dust, left-click on the ability, confirm the security question.
Many important glyphs removed – will scribes become unemployed?
Significant glyphs have been removed in WoW Legion. As compensation, some of their effects are already included in the spells. The scribe thus only creates the minor glyphs in a one-time variant – mainly allowing only cosmetic adjustments through these items. In return, the scribe can create Vantus runes. These consumables allow players to fight more effectively against a specific raid boss each week.
What do you think of this change? Are you glad you no longer have to constantly swap glyphs since most will only be cosmetic? Or do you mourn the loss of another customization option?
