Could ZOS allow us to remove glyphs from armor?

Savos_Saren

I've spent a lot of time and effort acquiring Kuta and Hakeijos for tri-glyphs. And, now that armor and weapon traits are being changed, I'm going to have to change up all my armor. Is there any future intention to let us remove a glyph from a weapon and/or armor? Obviously, it would probably be a % for successful removal... but it would still be nice to get my V16 prismatic glyphs back.

Thoughts?

I had an idea that if you have Max enchanting you could pull glyphs from armor when you deconned it.*shrugs*

Savos_Saren

It's really not a bad idea. I wouldn't think that it would ruin the economy, either. If you had just a chance to remove the glyph and then, of course, you could break down the glyph for a chance to get a kuta or hakeijo back. They could add it as a passive in the future updates.

As long as it was only a chance for success, less than 50% (even as low as 25% or 10%) then it wouldn't be the worst thing, but not something I think that would be important to happen. Crafting new Enchantments is just a part of making a new set of armor, and it should definitely stay that way (at least for the most part).

Could they? Yes. Yes, they could. Will they? Probably not; no. Why? Because ZOS isn't known for throwing its player base little bones like that.

Might make it better to Decon purples over selling the items. Pulling solvents and rekutas and stacks of makko would make them 3x more valuable. ..although I'd love it if this was the case, just save the aggro of farming.

Rev Rielle

It would be nice yes.
Maybe we could have an option:
Deconstruct at a normal station as we do now for normal crafting materials.Or,
Deconstruction at an enchanting table and forgo those normal materials for the chance to get enchanting materials back relevant to the glyph on the item.

i really want this i have so much armor i dont use with gold enchants id love to reuse on my new armor butinstead i have to farm more hours only problem i can think it will make them verry verry cheap but.....saves alot of time and gold

This is a great idea. But we'd probably have to collect 24 chapters to learn the skill. Then fuse ten deconstructed enchant fragments with a potion that costs 5K.

This is one of the things that would actually work nicely with rng (as opposed to stacked rng on drops). Make it an enchanting passive with a 10-20% chance and I think it would be pretty nifty.

I dont think deconning glyphs from obsolete gear is the right answert TBH
Not making gear obsolete in the 1st place is the right answer.
Then changing to new sets is optional rather than compulsory or inevitable

NewBlacksmurf

Hmmm so remove as in re-use the glyph.
With the upcoming changes to enchanting this request will become popular I think.

What requirements would need to be in place for it to happen?

This is one of those games where you put a lot more into it than you get out of it.

exactly this!

I had to decon a 3 full sets of gold gear at v14 when they raised the cap and only got 1 temper from each. Tired od this but whatever its MMO IG

Mettaricana

Would love this I always feel so ripped off on how I can break any gear down get the gold temper back bit just watch a 12-16k gold kuta go poof would definitely help economy maybe resell glyphs for players giving up stamima in favor of magicka like huh don't need gold stam glyph anymore here sell to other player to pay for the switching.

Cherryblossom

Agreed, it would be nice, as we have a head of us continual gear grind with CP now instead of Vet levels (there is no difference they have fixed nothing.) Every Major update with every CP increase we will need to make, buy, grind new gear. With current plans thats every 4 months!!!!
I've had 22 Kuta since launch, I will stick with Purple glyphs!

Funny is that a glyph is not something you carve into another thing. It's like a trinket, almost like a jewelry you usually fits in some groove of your equipment.

It's completely different of the runes you use to create them. Those are, in fact, stone-carved, usually as part of something larger and mystical (thus the meaning of harvesting them with a sharp edge knife)

Just like trait gems... Why can't they be replaced if they're really just a gemstone.
