Summary
World of Warcraftjust added almost two dozen new Glyphs to the game that revert the appearance of some recently-updated abilities introduced during Shadowlands. These are the first Glyphs added toWorld of Warcraftin close to a year, and the largest batch players have seen in much longer.
Glyphs are a consumable itemWorld of Warcraftplayers can obtain that allows them to modify the appearance of certain abilities. Many of these cosmetics are crafted by the Inscription profession, while others are purchased from various corners of the game. Though popular,World of Warcraftfans have only seen a few Glyphs inDragonflight, with two introduced inWoWPatch 10.1 last May, and a third a couple of months later.
However, in Patch 10.2.6,World of Warcraftjust added almost two dozen new Glyphs players can collect. These items can be used to allowWorld of Warcraftfans to make certain abilities look like their originalShadowlandsCovenant counterparts. These spells and skills werechanged in Patch 10.2.5 to better fit eachWorld of Warcraftclass’ fantasy, but players who wish to use their old effects can do so – albeit at a cost of 5000 gold each, and with the requirement of being Honored with the related Covenant faction.
New WoW Glyphs Revert Shadowlands Covenant Abilities
World of Warcraftplayers will have to buy multiple copies of certain glyphs if the associated ability appears in more than one specialization. Regardless, fans can buy each glyph at vendors found in each Covenant’s headquarters, or at the Enclave in Oribos.

However, these new additions proveWorld of Warcrafthasn’t forgotten about Glyphs in spite of Hero Talents, so hopefully, fans will see more of them in the future.
