As title says. Or am I missing something?
Something to throw in your sockets while you wait for better glyphs to drop.

More useless/different loot that drops for a short while?
The same point as blue gear.

glyphs should act like the map⌠once you level them to 21, they are âyoursâ for any character you make (aside from those blue ones that cap at 11 - yes, i did cap all of my blue ones just because I like to 100% everything).
Nothing is more lame (aside from having a 100% map uncovered but still needing to go get the waypoints on a broken slow butt horse) than re-leveling up all those glyphs to 21 againâŚagainâŚand again

White and blue equipment fills a spot somewhat, but the blue glyphs seem rather useless. Pretty sure I manage to find a useful yellow glyph within minutes of opening up paragon
I may have equiped one during my first play through tho
Blue glyphs should have a higher level cap rather than a lower one, and/or the potential to expand further making swapping them out a choice rather than a given
I honestly couldnât tell you. You barely have enough points to reach four, maybe five glyphs, so I donât get why they exist when youâre never going to use them except for the 5 minutes you get one blue drop by the time you get to the first glyph and proceed to get every single yellow glyph before you get to the second one.
It takes so long to get to a single node, I donât get why itâs so stingy.
Couple that with only one legendary node per board (and not on the first one) and you get, what, 7 total nodes that help a specific build?
Almost every level in POE feels like a game changer even when itâs raw stats because you feel those stats immediately.

Donât discount blue glyphs just yet. At level 1 in season 2, I got a glyph that allowed me to cast a free firewall after spending like 27 mana⌠when a normal glyph was like, spend 100-200 mana and get a free firewall I believe.
So low level/low quality glyphs are potentially broken and can be utilized this way.
Wait for better glyphs? Chances are by the time you even unlock your first Glyph, you have already found some Rares. By the time you unlock your second Glyph, you will definitely have enough Rare Glyphs to have your pick. By the time you unlock a 3rd Glyph, you absolutely have all your Glyphs.
Magic Glyphs are dumb and need to be tossed. The fact you just âfind themâ randomly is further really stupid. They might as well just have you start off with all the Glyphs collected.
For that matter, your Codex should transfer over between Seasons. To be able to Imprint minimum rolls on gear as you level would ve greatly welcomed. I would love to see them add ALL Aspects to the Codex and let you Upgrade them. Each season progress should reset, but you should maintain the Aspects you have collected in your Codex.
They need to make leveling more enjoyable. When you get to WT4, you are so drenched in Legendaries and Obols it is easier to find the Aspects you need - but the problem is you are strongly discouraged from actually Imprinting because you can only do it once. If I find a 20% Edgemasters, I am not just going to slap it on the first 2H Upgrade I get. Instead, I might wait 10 or 20 levels before I find something with half-decent Affixes not knowing when RNGesus is going to drop another 20% Edgemasters.
Bad design all around. Donât get me started on the mess that is Paragon.
Framing, mostly. The trash tier exists in order for the next tier up to look more desirable. Use the blue stuff if youâre desperate.
Same as gear drops, basically - though at least those can be pretty useable. The blue glyphs on the other hand, are so relatively poor (and the function of the ârealâ glyphs are so specific) that you canât really even stub them in as placeholders.
I just ignore the blue glyphs and wait until I get the actually desirable glyphs drop, leaving the glyph socket empty is better than wasting time faffing about with the blue glyphs.
Thatâs cool. If they were to lean into that, I can see blue glyphs being just like certain blue items in D2 - some of them could be very powerful for specific use cases, but youâd sacrifice the bonus powers (and general power increase) that the rares have in order to capitalize on that. Could make our choices more interesting.
