Runes (Rift)  

Contents [hide]
Runecrafting

There are many types of Runes, and each type can have multiple tiers.

Runes are applied directly and permanently to weapons and armor, but can be overwritten. Each type of rune will specify what item it may be applied to. This is not to be confused with temporary rune effects, such as the Shrouded Rune, which will stack with permanent runes.

Many faction quartermasters will sell runes for a specific piece of weapon or armor which will require a certain Notoriety with that faction to purchase. For a listing of these, see Armor Runes.

The tiers of craftable runes are Dim, Glowing, Bright, Luminous, Radiant, Brilliant, Blazing, Incandescent, Gleaming, Auroral, and Empyrean. Every tier does not have every type of Rune.
