Glyphs
Glyphs can be a powerful tool for communicating visual information. They move to grab the attention of the viewer and spark curiosity.

The actual value of the glyph is determined by the quality and tier of the product you are creating it for.
The majority of upgrade components installed into items cannot be removed or replaced without dismantling them except for legendary upgrades and equipment. If you have a rune or glyph you don't want to use but it hasn't been applied to gear yet, you can move the item to a different piece by selecting the Upgrade Glyphs menu in the Glyphs Panel. This will create the new Glyph Set with the selected glyph.

This will alter the design of the item's window and let up to six items be selected for recycling. Recycling an item can add a small amount of points to its level gauge. The amount is determined by the item's rarity as well as its own level, so items with higher levels are more valuable to recycle than lower level ones.

If it rolls higher, the weapon is upgraded. If it rolls lower the weapon is left as it was. Weapons can be repeated up to three times.
Rerolling is a fantastic method to improve an item. However, players should be aware of the fact that the total ilvl is diminished by the number of rerolls it took to get it to the final ilvl. This lowering effect is most effective with Diadems and rings that don't have other options for raising ilvls.
