What are Paragon Glyphs?
Paragon Glyphs are items that you start to acquire as soon as you hit Level 60. They are very powerful items that you can slot into Glyph slots on your Paragon Board. They provide a much deeper customization option for your Endgame builds due to the sheer amount of them. If you find one that is better for your build, you may remove them from the Paragon Board without any penalty .
Glyph Rarities
Glyphs come in two rarities: Rare and Legendary. As far as your Rare Glyphs are concerned, they start dropping from Dungeons and various other endgame activities as soon as you hit Level 60. As mentioned below Rare Glyphs will upgrade to Legendary once they hit level 46.
Glyph Levels
Glyphs start at level 1 and are leveled up by applying experience to them after finishing runs of The Pit. Glyphs require more and more experience to reach the next level as you level them up.
The higher the Tier of the The Pit you complete the more levels you will be able to apply to your Glyphs at the end of it.
The Pit of the Artificers GuideGlyph Radius Explained
Each Glyph starts at Rare with a radius of three and increase to a radius of four at Glyph Level 15, then at level 45 they upgrade to a radius of 5 and when upgrading to 46 they upgrade to Legendary and gain an additional effect.
You may be wondering why the radius matters. Every Glyph, at a minimum, has a secondary effect that is activated once you have a certain amount of a specific attribute allocated within the radius of the Glyph. You will always want to try and hit this threshold to unlock the secondary effect of each Glyph.
Furthermore, most Glyphs will give an increased bonus based on how much of a specific attribute (normally the same one that unlocks the secondary effect) you have allocated within its radius.
Glyph Leveling
You level up your Glyphs by completing pit runs. At the end of the run you will get three guaranteed upgrades and a bonus upgrade if you complete it deathless. If the pit is at least 10 levels above the Glyph, it is guaranteed to level it up with the chance decreasing for each level below that. For every 20 levels above the Glyph that your pit is you will gain an additional level with each upgrade attempt.
For example:
You run a level 50 pit deathless and you have four upgrade attempts. You want to level your level 10 Glyph up.
- First attempt will go from 10 to 13.
- Second attempt will go from 13 to 15.
- Third attempt will go from 15 to 17.
- Fourth attempt will go from 17 to 19.
