Glyph of Envy

is there a strategy to use that glyph most efficiently? I mean to use it on certain items / affix tiers? What does the stability it gives depend on? Or is it random?

I suppose the stability do not scale off of anything other than the Timeline never being completed before… So if you’re only using it only for the stability, I think there’s no strategy really.

As for it’s other effect in crafting, I’m struggling to find any good plausible use of it… You can only use it on affixes up to tier 4, the results cannot be exalted and sealed affixes are untouched, so I really don’t know…

I really didn’t like this glyph nor did I get why they implemented it this way… Feel like they could just have added some key-like currency that you use to increase stability in the Monolith’s menu. So much over-engineering on this one.

The only use I can see for it, considering you want to use it in monoliths, is finding an item that has a decent T3-T4 affix you desire but has nothing else going for it. In that case you can hit it with the glyph in the hopes the other affixes become decent.

But usually 1 affix items are filtered out, so… maybe hit on movement speed boots and see if anything decent rolls?

I’ve started using them kind of late… I currently use them to farm up blessings. I’m thinking i’ll use them a little earlier if I level an alt. I think it would be good on an alt when you first get into echo’s. Use it on gear with 1 good affix and get stability at the same time.

I’ve actually rolled INTO several good items using glyphs of envy. One sword rolled a t4 sealed flat damage. It actually is just another roll at an item. It’s really just an extra chance to get ‘another drop’ as it were. I actually like them.

I’m a little disappointed as for the rune of Removal.
Both have no use in the End Game, like other runes…
The glyph of Envy will reduce the T6 or T7 affix to T5 lol I barely used it to help me out during the leveling. It’s not great. They should review the functioning and potential of runes and glyphs a bit.
For example, it would make sense to keep the T6 and T7 levels of the exalted items lol.
And for the rune removal, we should be able to target the affix we want to remove!
I hope they will make this kind of change in the next cycles.
For the moment there are runes and glyphs that I accumulate because we can’t use them effectively…
