Why do glyphs not stack?

It'd be nice if they did if they are the same instead of taking up more space.

Because glyphs are big! I mean you make them out of 3 whole runestones!

Never mind that runestones stack up to 200...

But food and drink stack

To be honest, I have not a clue. Although... Glyphs state who they are made by (where as potions, drinks and food do not) so I bet that causes an issue with not allowing them to stack. Even though dropped glyphs don't they probably still have some kind of empty slot like other glyphs for who made it - it just isn't used. I dunno, I don't know how to code a game, but that's something different about glyphs from the other stuff.

Yes, but, um, magical fields something something. A wizard did it. That's why.

The nerve of some people... Trying to apply logic to this...

Lazy wizard didn't allow glyph stacking!

To make you use them faster? How many do you have anyway. I have an average glyph balance in my bank and between all my toons of <1.

Um I had about 7 I don't think it makes you use them faster, can't remember but I believe if you have 3 pieces of armor glyphs, go to a piece of armor and click enchant the glyphs are stacked.

I make the glyphs I need, as I need them (btw, where do I get V15/16 potency runes from? Papa needs a brand new bag. And armour. And weapons.) I decon what I don't need and just stack the runes. If you aren't an enchanter, find a friend who is and feed them all your mats for the future glyphs you will want. If that isn't possible, start enchanting. You won't have a problem with an oversupply of glyphs anymore.

Nah I'm a maxed out enchanter I would just like it when doing armor for myself or other people to not have to run to the bank because of inventory space. You can get vet 15/16 runes from the sewers tel var merchant or if you max out your potency improvement go to news bane or wrothgar. I'm not to sure as I find mine in these locations

I don't think that's it. I made 2 ashen grip daggers that stacked. Oddly enough, they stacked even though one was glyphed with shock and the other was glyphed with flame.

Siege weapons don't stack either. It's pretty flipping irritating to scroll past 11 individual Flaming Oil... because it seems that the battering ram only enjoyed a short resurgence...

because zenimax wants you to spent real money on bank and inventory capacity upgrades

WalkingLegacy

Because we are forever destined to have inventory space issues.

Some glyphs do stack... when you're in the decon tab at an enchanting table. But only some of them.

Addons which show which style motif a piece of gear has seem to think that style motifs also apply to glyphs.

So... that's my theory: the game thinks that some glyphs have different "style motifs", and therefore don't stack. It's like having two Argonian style daggers and a Nord style one; the Argonian ones will stack, the Nord one will not.

I've wondered about this a couple of times myself. Stackable glyphs would really improve the enchanting process as a whole and make leveling this skill go a lot smoother too.
