Can You Enchant A Dropped Item?

This may be a stupid question, but what happens if you improve a dropped item, say a Thunderbug Carapace Helmet to gold, would adding a glyph to it improve it in any way?

Thanks.

Your glyph replaces the enchantment that is already on the item (if there is one).

When you upgrade an item without changing the enchantment, the enchantment is also upgraded. If you put a new enchantment on it, it will not be upgraded.

As I understand it, when you improve the quality of a dropped item, the strength of the default enchantment increases along with it. So for example, if your Thunderbug helmet started out purple and you made it gold, the post-upgrade enchantment would have the strength of a gold-quality glyph. So the only reason to re-enchant an item you're upgrading is if you want to change the enchant to something besides the default.

Ok, that's what I thought

Thanks.
