They may then choose a compatible piece of equipped gear in which to fasten the runestone or glyph.
Runestones and glyphs mayonly be socketed in gear that is currently equipped.

Glyphsare fastened to pieces of armor andincrease the power of Geralt’s signs.
The various glyphs boost the intensity of each sign, respectively.
Players canreclaim socketed runestones and glyphsfrom outdated gearbydismantling the equipmentas opposed to selling it.

Mastercrafted Weapons
Requires completion of the secondary quest, “Of Swords and Dumplings.”
