Those Glyphs can be **equipped** (staked), **recycled** ([Salvaging](/pawtato-land/gameplay/crafting/salvaging.md)), **upgraded** ([Upgrading](/pawtato-land/gameplay/crafting/upgrading.md)) or **sold** on the secondary market. Glyphs can have various benefits, for example: * Increase production of [Resources](/pawtato-land/gameplay/resources.md) * Speed up and stretch the crafts at a [Crafting Station](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md) * Unlock Quality of Life features * Unlock a craftsman building outright — the **Jeweller**, the **Artificer** and the **Carver** ## How to equip a Glyph (step by step) 1. Open your **Player Profile** by clicking your profile picture in the top-left corner of the screen, then select the [**Glyphs**](https://pawtato.gg/?tm=1) tab. It shows your Glyph slots grouped by profession: [**Miscellaneous Glyphs**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/miscellaneous-tools.md), then the five crafting professions — [Woodworking](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/woodworking-tools.md), [Masonry](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/masonry-tools.md), [Blacksmithing](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/blacksmithing-tools.md), [Leatherworking](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/leatherworking-tools.md) and [Tailoring](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/tailoring-tools.md) — and finally [**Production Glyphs**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/production-tools.md). 2. Pick a slot. Click an unlocked, empty slot under the category you want (for example **Production Glyphs** or **Miscellaneous Glyphs**). The **Glyphs** picker opens for that slot's **Category**. 3. Equip the Glyph. Find the Glyph in the list and click **Equip** (or click its row). It is staked into the slot and shows an **Equipped** badge. * To replace a Glyph already in the slot, open the slot and click **Switch** on a different Glyph, or **Unequip** to empty it. * If you have no matching Glyph, the panel shows **Craft Now**, which takes you to the [Arcane Tower](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/arcane-tower.md), where every Glyph is crafted. * An empty or recharging Glyph shows **Recharge** / **Modify** instead — see [Glyph Energy & Recharging](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/tool-durability-and-repairs.md). 4. Unlock more slots (optional). Locked slots show the resource and amount required (for example "x 1,000 to unlock"). Click a locked slot to open its unlock panel, then click **Unlock Slot** to burn the required resources and open it. Slots must be unlocked in order — the button instead reads **Insufficient Balance** or **Cannot Unlock Yet** when you cannot unlock it yet. Base slot counts, plus the bonus Production and Miscellaneous slots granted by staking an Estate or Province, are covered on the [Plot](/pawtato-land/gameplay/land-nft/plot.md), [Estate](/pawtato-land/gameplay/land-nft/estate.md) and [Province](/pawtato-land/gameplay/land-nft/province.md) pages. ## When a Glyph is locked Using a Glyph locks the Glyph itself for a while. The lock **never pauses the Glyph's effect** — a locked Glyph keeps boosting crafts, assignments, URR rolls and Influence claims exactly as it does when unlocked. What the lock blocks is *moving* the Glyph: you cannot **unequip** it, and since a Glyph has to be unequipped before it can be sold, transferred or recycled, those are blocked too. For some Glyphs the **Modify / Recharge** button is greyed out as well. Hovering the Glyph tells you what is blocked and how long is left.
What locks the GlyphHow long it stays locked
Sending a Hero on an assignment the Glyph boosts3 days
Claiming your Land resources with a Glyph of Blessing, Glyph of Soil or Glyph of Mycelium equipped24 hours
Claiming Influence with a Glyph of Representation equipped72 hours
Removing a socket Gemstone with the Glyph of Master Masonry3 days
Starting a craft that requires the GlyphUntil you claim the craft
The craft lock is the one to keep an eye on: a Glyph committed to a running craft stays locked for as long as that craft sits in the queue, so claim the craft to free it. {% hint style="info" %} This lock is a different thing from the **Second Wind** cooldown on the [Glyph of Second Wind](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/miscellaneous-tools.md), which really does gate when the ability can be used again. {% endhint %} ## Crafting Glyph slots The five crafting professions — [Woodworking](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/woodworking-tools.md), [Masonry](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/masonry-tools.md), [Blacksmithing](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/blacksmithing-tools.md), [Leatherworking](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/leatherworking-tools.md) and [Tailoring](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/tailoring-tools.md) — each get their own row of **four slots**, one per rank of the profession:
SlotWhat it holdsHow you get it
Basic … SlotA Glyph of Basic Woodworking / Masonry / Blacksmithing / Leatherworking / TailoringAlways unlocked
Intermediate … SlotA Glyph of Intermediate …Unlocked with resources
Advanced … SlotA Glyph of Advanced …Unlocked with resources, after the Intermediate slot
Master … SlotA Glyph of Master …Unlocked with resources, after the Advanced slot
Each slot only accepts a Glyph of its own rank, so a profession's four slots hold its Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Master Glyphs side by side rather than several copies of the same one. The ranks are also bought **in order**: the Advanced slot only opens once the Intermediate one is unlocked, and the Master slot only once the Advanced one is. A slot you already own stays yours either way. Every slot is paid for in a different resource, shown on the locked slot itself:
ProfessionIntermediate SlotAdvanced SlotMaster Slot
Woodworking1,000 Wooden Plank1,000 Paper250 Rune of Quality
Masonry1,000 Stone Block1,000 Gravel250 Rune of Quality
Blacksmithing1,000 Iron Bar250 Iron Sheet250 Rune of Quality
Leatherworking1,000 Light Leather250 Huskhide Leatherno Master Glyph yet
Tailoring1,000 Bolt of Linen250 Bolt of Silkno Master Glyph yet
{% hint style="info" %} **Leatherworking and Tailoring have no Master Glyph yet.** Their Master slot therefore has no price and cannot be unlocked - it opens up once such a Glyph exists. {% endhint %} ### What each rank does
RankEffect
BasicShortens every material craft at its craftsman.
IntermediateGives every crafted unit its own chance to yield an extra one. The Masonry Glyph additionally rolls for a raw Gemstone on each Gravel craft.
AdvancedRaises the chance that equipment crafted at that craftsman comes out at a higher rarity.
MasterUnlocks a whole building: Master Masonry the Jeweller, Master Blacksmithing the Artificer, Master Woodworking the Carver. Without the Glyph staked, nothing inside can be crafted.
Basic, Intermediate and Advanced Glyphs are **optional**: the [Crafting Stations](/pawtato-land/gameplay/buildings/crafting-stations.md) craft perfectly well without one, and a staked Glyph only adds its boost on top. A Master Glyph is the exception - its building simply does not open without it. Glyphs have a rarity system of six tiers, which next to the unique attributes of the Glyph also raises its maximum **Energy:**
