Glyphs are consumed when used, regardless of outcome.
Glyphs are socketed in a dedicated slot in the Forge menu, located below the item.
Exalted
An item that rolled with a T6 or T7 affix, denoted with purple text.
T6+ affixes cannot be crafted normally.
They must be found from item drops.
Legendary Potential
How many affixes a Unique can acquire when it is upgraded to a Legendary.
Uniques can roll with 1-4 Legendary Potential when they drop.
Shatter
A community term for breaking an item with a Rune of Shattering.
This converts the item into affix shards.
Items with skill ranks or similar unique affixes are typically worth shattering.
Affixes are made up of two pools: prefixes and suffixes.
Prefix
The left-most affix slots on your gear.
Most prefixes increase your damage, attributes, or offer utility effects.
Suffix
The right-most affix slots on your gear.
Suffixes improve your character’s defenses, such as armor, resistances, and HP.
Implicits
These are modifiers baked into the item itself, listed under the item’s name.
Implicits are not random, but their stat valuesmightbe random based on the item bang out.
Tiers
The stat range a particular affix can roll with.
Higher tiers are better.
In Last Epoch, Tiers 1-5 can be crafted, while Tiers 6-7 only appear on Exalted items.

Critical Success
There is a rare chance that a craft will be a critical success.
For example, let’s say that you want to upgrade an affix from T1 to T2.
This process will drain 1-18 Forging Potential.
Glyphs arenotremoved from the Forge after you perform a craft.
Weaver’s Will
It is also possible to obtain a Unique with the Weaver’s Will modifier.
This will automatically turn the Unique into a Legendary as you kill enemies with the item equipped.
The more Weaver’s Will stacks it has, the more affixes the Legendary can add or upgrade.
