Runecrafting

Learning goal

Carve runes at the Inscription Table and forge them into swords and armour.

Step 01

The Inscription Table

Place a scroll or an engraving material on the table, lay a Blank Runestone beneath it and carve the rune with the Inscription Chisel. Materials make the common runes; Rare and Legendary Scrolls come from the boss chests.

Step 02

The Runeforge

The Runeforge sets rune stones into a sword or a piece of armour. Enchantments stay, and it costs no experience.

Step 03

Pillars and tiers

Runeforge Pillars with crystals around the forge unlock the second slot, and with Resonant Crystals in the inner pillars the legendary slot.

Good to know

  • Putting a sword rune on armour; sword runes only fit swords.
  • Forgetting that a filled rune slot stays filled.
