Glyph Conversion in Mists of Pandaria
50 days! Are you ready? One of the upcoming changes in the Mists of Pandaria pre-launch patch is the glyph system. These are the general changes from the Public Test Realms (PTR):
- Prime glyphs no longer exist. All prime glyphs have been converted to major and minor glyphs.
- Currently, all glyphs require only level 25 to learn. This might only be for testing purposes and can change at launch.
Hunters will have a total of 35 glyphs in Mists of Pandaria, an increase from 31 in Cataclysm.
Four glyphs have new effects while keeping the same name.
- Glyph of Chimera Shot
- Glyph of Deterrence
- Gylph of Disengage
- Glyph of Snake Trap
Nine glyphs have not changed in their effects.
- Glyph of Aspect of the Pack
- Glyph of Freezing Trap
- Glyph of Ice Trap
- Glyph of Lesser Proportion
- Glyph of Master’s Call
- Glyph of Mending
- Glyph of Misdirection
- Glyph of Revive Pet
- Glyph of Scatter Shot
The ten prime glyphs have been converted to seven major glyphs and three minor glyphs. With the addition of four new minor glyphs, Mists of Pandaria will have a total of 23 major glyphs and 12 minor glyphs.
Because the IDs of all old glyphs are being re-used, you will not have to re-learn the equivalent new glyph if you have learned the old version prior to the patch. You will, however, need to acquire the four new glyphs yourself.

Handy list. :) I learned all glyphs a while back, and I’m relieved I only need to learn four more!
