Glyphs are the equivalent of Runestones but for armor. By placing a Glyph on a socketed piece of armor, a Witcher can enchant the item with a passive bonus that augments existing Sign abilities. Lesser glyphs may only provide relatively weak bonuses but can be combined with other lesser glyphs to create greater glyphs with significant boosts to Geralt's potential.
GLYPH OF INFUSION
In order to enchant a piece of armor, a Glyph of Infusion must be prepared first. The base component to all armor enchantments, Infusion Glyphs can be found by looting containers and corpses. Additionally, crafters like the Blacksmith and Armorer will sell Infusion Glyphs in their shop. For those who wish to extensively upgrade multiple pieces of gear, it is recommended you purchase the diagram for crafting Infusion Glyphs as soon as possible.
LESSER GLYPHS
Lesser Glyphs are specific enchantments you can place into armor upgrade slots in order to receive passive bonuses to Sign abilities. They may be found in containers, nests and the corpses of monsters. Additionally, these enchantments can be found in shops in later stages of the game. The most economical option is to learn the basic techniques and materials needed to craft your own Glyphs as needed.
GREATER GLYPHS
Students of advanced crafting techniques may learn Greater enchantments that can be used to combine multiple Lesser Glyphs into a single Greater Glyph. This is an excellent way to augment your equipment while keeping additional upgrade slots open for other enchantments. Be warned! Once an enchantment is in place, it is impossible to remove without destroying the item.
VESEMIR'S LESSON
A Glyph is the blessed right of a Witcher. Not as lethal as a runestone or as physical as silver. It is a lesser enchantment... leading to greater power.
