How to Use, Remove, and Change Glyphs in WoW

Glyphs allow you to add cosmetic enhancements to various abilities.

Using Glyphs

To use a glyph,

1. Right-click the glyph in your bags. This will make the corresponding ability glow in your Spellbook.

2. Left-click the ability in your Spellbook.

If you need to remove a glyph from one of your abilities, you can:

1. Purchase Vanishing Powder from a nearby auction house, Reagents vendor, or Inscription Supplies vendor.

2. Right-click the Vanishing Powder in your bags.

3. Left-click the ability in your Spellbook from which you want to remove the glyph.

4. In the pop-up window, click the “Yes” button.

If you’re unhappy with a glyph and want to replace it with another one, you should:

1. Right-click the glyph you want in your bags.

2. Left-click the corresponding ability in your Spellbook.

3. In the pop-up window, click the “Yes” button.

This will remove the unwanted glyph and apply the desired glyph.

Yes – when you use a glyph, it will be consumed and removed from your bags.

Any glyph that you apply will remain permanently until you:

No — each ability can have up to one active glyph at a time.

Some abilities have one or more glyph options, while other abilities have no glyph options.

In Shadowlands, all glyphs are cosmetic and do not offer any benefits in combat.

As a result, the “best” glyphs for you are whichever ones you think make your abilities look the coolest.

You must be at least level 11 to use glyphs.

1. Purchase the glyph from the nearest auction house.

2. If you can’t find the glyph on the auction house, use Trade Chat to find a scribe who can make your glyph.

In Shadowlands, Blizzard removed the “Glyphs” tab from the user interface.

Currently, you must mouse over abilities to view any active glyphs you have.
