Glyphs provide upgrades to your armors and enhance the intensity of your signs in The Witcher 3. Although you can get almost all glyphs in the game through drops from chests and enemies, it’s always better to just craft them on your own so you can get whatever glyph you want whenever you want.
Glyph crafting follows the same rules as crafting anything else in The Witcher 3. You need to have the recipe, or in this case, Diagram, and the required resources to craft it yourself
There are 10 different glyph crafting diagrams in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt that you need to get if you want to be able to craft all the glyphs in the game.
