How to Get Ruin

Random Drop After Reaching Level 60

Upon reaching level 60, all Glyphs have a random chance to drop from enemies found throughout Sanctuary. We recommend taking on activities such as Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, Tree of Whisper, and The Pit to have a higher chance of obtaining Glyphs.
