Glyphing
The Glyphing Chamber is one of the most challenging but immensely rewarding crafting skills. By taking gear with a magical property, you are able to attempt to create a Glyph out of the original equipment. This item can be used any time outside of combat or skilling and the effects transcend into battle, giving the benefits from the original item. The effects of a Glyph last for a time period indicated on the item.
When you enter the Glyphing Chamber, you will be prompted to drag the item you wish to glyph into the box provided. A brief description of the difficulty will appear, letting you know if you should attempt to glyph that item or not.
Once you begin glyphing the item, you will see 3 buttons that allow you to raise your progress bar, turning your equipment into a Glyph. The available buttons used in Glyphing are: Transfuse, Purge, and Inscribe. These three words will appear randomly, and your task is to click the corresponding button as soon as you see the word. If you are too slow or click the wrong button, you will disrupt the stability of the magic on the item. Too many failures will result in your attempt failing, and the item will be lost. Additionally, if the attempt is aborted, the item will also be lost.
The more difficult an item is to Glyph in relation to your proficiency in Glyphing, the more often you will not be sure which option to choose. This is represented by a ? ? ? that will appear as the text instead of one of the 3 words. When this happens, your only choice is to try and choose whatever you feel the best option is.
When the progress bar becomes full, the glyphing will succeed, and you will receive the Glyph item.
