Diablo 4, like its predecessors, has built an extensive system for end-game content. As a key part of progression through this system, players unlock the Paragon Board at level 50. This board has several nodes, including a few empty ones called Glyph Sockets.

Glyph Sockets provide the opportunity for players to customize their build, as well as an additional reward for completing Nightmare Dungeons through Paragon Glyph Upgrades. For a complete list of Barbarian Paragon Glyphs, how to get them, and tips for which glyphs are the best, keep reading.
Glyphs are primarily dropped by Boss and Elite enemies (rarely, they are found in chests or for sale at a shop). The bigger the boss, the bigger the drop chance for a glyph. This means fighting World Bosses or completing Nightmare Dungeons are the best strategies for collecting Paragon Glyphs.

There are twenty-seven total Paragon Glyphs, each with its own bonuses. Magic Glyphs have one bonus, while Rare Glyphs have two. You will receive all Magic Glyphs.

While many of the Barbarian's glyphs are situationally good, three standouts exist. Marshal, Disembowel, and Wrath fit into almost any build. These glyphs provide Cooldown Reduction or refund Fury that is easy to proc, which allows you to use your key abilities more often. Seething is also a good choice, however, it only refunds Fury while wielding a sword - making it substantially worse than Disembowel.
