When crafting an item with a Rune of Research, there's a 45 percent chance of acquiring a Last Epoch Glyph of Insight. This is the only method of acquiring this Glyph in the game.

To obtain a Rune of Research, you must be at least level 70 and defeat the Exiled Mages found in Rune Prisons, which are events that randomly spawn across the map in the Monolith of Fate. While acquiring a Rune of Research is rare, you can increase your chances by farming them in Empowered Monoliths with high stacks of Corruptions.

After obtaining several Runes of Research, use them on any item in the Forge Menu to have a chance of acquiring a Glyph of Insight. It exclusively functions when upgrading prefixes. So, you can only utilize it for upgrading prefixes up to Tier 4, as those of Tier 5 and above cannot be upgraded.

The experimental affixes you acquire on your Gloves, Belts, and Boots depend on the following conditions:

  • Gloves: Total affix tiers
  • Belts: Item level requirement
  • Boots: Forging Potential
