So I just started doing Forging on a character now and then when I have time...

Just using the standard free glyph for handles atm, but the glyhphs for Mauls and such that are sold at EG--are those permanent in that once I buy them they never go bad or do they have a set amount of 'charges' uses?

<Only the (gold???) glyphs are permanent.>

Gold are the ones with the most charges (500, if I recall correctly).... glaes are the ones that are permanent. I have no idea how glaes glyphs obtained, so far as I know they haven't been sold since I started forging a couple years ago, though it's possible there's something I've over-looked.

If you just get a 2 or 3 copies of each glyph in gold from EG, that should last you through til the next EG unless you just go crazy with forging.
