Overview
Insignias are relatively new to the game still, but they are no doubt fun to collect and customize characters with. These have a good supply and demand for trade in the trade channels or on fan based websites.
These work much like runes, and they can be bought at the same rune traders. Mostly farmed by salvaging blue, purple, or gold items; insignias and runes can be identified via that route. Keep in mind that identification needs to happen before salvaging so that you will get the rune or insignia identified as well.
