Material conversions

• When gathering with this glyph equipped, materials gathered will be instantly converted into one tier below.
• However, this conversion does not apply to secondary items, e.g. gemstones from mining nodes, bonus wood logs from logging nodes, Pearls from Clams etc.
• This glyph has no effect on some special resource nodes in Living World zones, such as Toxic Seedlings in Kessex Hills, Winterberry Bushes in Bitterfrost Frontier, or Mistborn Motes in Dragonfall.
• However, using this glyph on a Quartz Crystal Formation such as the ones located in Dry Top, Labyrinthine Cliffs, Crystal Oasis or the Home instance node will return Mithril Ore instead of Quartz Crystal.
• Using this glyph on a Living Season mining node (Bloodstone Crystals, Jade Fragments, Difluorite Crystals, Mistonium, Dragon Crystal Node) will return Mithril Ore in place of Bloodstone Dust, Empyreal Fragments or Dragonite Ore. This does not prevent receiving the related zone's currency from these nodes.
• An exception to this rule is the Eternal Ice found in Bjora Marches. The glyph will turn the Eternal Ice Shard into Mithril Ore.
• Using this glyph on a Living Season logging node (Petrified Wood, Primordial Orchid) will return Elder Wood Log in place of Empyreal Fragments.
• This glyph works on Orrian Oyster nodes in Siren's Landing, turning Dragonite Ore into Leek or Raspberry.
• Using this glyph on Wreckage and Salvage Piles in Drizzlewood Coast will turn Common Charr Salvage into Mithril Ore.
