Glyph question

I understand that glyphs are scaled, but what are they scaled off of? The Truly superb glyph of weapon damage made with Kuta is increased damage by 348 and it goes down to 174 when applied?

    Yes, I figured that part out. What was throwing me off was the numbers changing.

    One-handed weapons get half the effect that two-handed get, because you can wield two at once.

    But don't put two of the same glyphs on your one-handers because they share the same cooldown. It's the same as using only one and leaving the other weapon without a glyph at all.

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

    Thank you for your understanding

    I think it also depends on the quality of the weapon. A blue quality weapon with a gold enchantment I THINK reduces the enchantment to blue. But if upgraded it'll be purple enchantment and then gold. If you enchant a blue quality weapon with a blue enchantment and upgrade the weapon it'll be a purple weapon with blue enchantment, if that makes any sense.

    Not quite.

    If you get a weapon or armor drop that has an attachment already on it, upgrading the gear upgrades the Enchantment.

    If you apply an enchantment to a weapon or armor, either one you craft or a dropped item, then that enchantment does not upgrade with the weapon or armor. You need to apply a new enchantment.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Also, I have put a Gold Glyph on a Green item and got the full gold value. I have a thousand Kutas so I can weird experiments....
