Glyphs are primarily obtained by defeating enemies and looting them in Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 (D4). Read on to learn about the best ways to get Glyphs and all methods on getting glyphs in the game.

How to Get Glyphs

Rewarded for Pit Completion

Succesful Pit runs can also reward players with Glyphs. This Glyph farming strategy makes a streamline progression between XP farming and Glyph level farming as well.

Obtained from Enemy Drops in Nightmare Dungeons

Glyphs are primarily obtained by defeating enemies in Nightmare Dungeons. The higher tiers you tackle, the higher the drop chances of Glyphs so we highly recommend trying to get all your Glyphs once you are able to clear Nightmare Dungeons easily.

Occassionally Dropped from Tree of Whispers Cache

Another method of obtaining Glyphs are by completing objectives and getting your cache rewards from the Tree of Whispers. The Tree of Whispers Cache can drop glyphs occassionally which can give you a headstart when collecting glyphs for your current class.

How to Use Glyphs

Glyphs are items that you can socket in to empty Glyph nodes in your Paragon Boards. These Glyphs can each grant unique effects to your character and build depending on the glyph used as well as the existing nodes you unlock inside the Glyph's radius.

To further strengthen your Glyph effects, you'll have to meet a secondary requirement for each Rare Glyph to activate their secondary effect. Failing to complete the Glyph's requirement will only cause it to grant its first effect making the Glyph suboptimal for your build.
