Paragon Glyphs is a gameplay mechanic that forms a major part of the endgame content of Diablo 4. You place them in their respective positions in every Paragon Board to obtain massive power spikes in return.
In summary, the bonuses you gain from Glyphs in Diablo 4 are far more powerful compared to the little stat increments you get from looting gear while beating the main campaign.
The best Glyphs can potentially make or break your character builds since they are all class-specific. Knowing about their rarities and all of the types you can level up in Diablo 4 is, hence, important.
Glyph rarities and how to get them
You unlock Glyphs alongside Paragon Boards after reaching level 50 and switching to World Tier 3 difficulty in Diablo 4. They come in two rarities: Magic (blue) and Rare (yellow) in the game.
You automatically start with all Magic Glyphs even if you are playing in World Tier 1 or 2. The Rare Glyphs, however, are only dropped by enemies and monsters as part of all endgame activities in World Tier 3 or higher.
There are obviously other differences between the two rarity types. Magic Glyphs provide a single bonus to improve your base character stats or resistance after being put in a Paragon Board. They also start with a radius of 2 which can be increased to 3 after leveling them up to level 4.
Rare Glyphs, on the other hand, start with a radius of 3 that can be improved to 4 after hitting level 15 in Diablo 4. They give two bonuses that vastly improve your character builds provided that their radius requirements are fulfilled.
How to use Paragon Glyphs in Diablo 4
Each Glyph grants a special bonus once placed on designated locations in your character’s Paragon Board. The effectiveness of a Glyph depends on the number of tiles it influences on the Paragon Boards.
Hence each Glyph needs to be placed strategically. Already placed Glyphs can be replaced by their better alternatives without any cost in Diablo 4.
To increase the area of influence of a Glyph, you need to level it up by completing nightmare dungeons. Each preceding level for a Glyph requires more XP to complete. The starting area of a Glyph depends on its rarity and can be increased by one.
