Runic System

Open the Runic window from the rune vessel on your player frame. Earn Runic XP from combat, raise your Runic Level, then use rune items to unlock percentage bonuses. Socket them into the 24 slots — each slot opens at that Runic Level. Right-click a socket to remove a rune for 1000 MG.

Current cap: Runic Level 24 · 17 rune families

How to use

  1. 1. Click the rune vessel button on your unit frame to open the interface.
  2. 2. Fight for Runic XP. Your gold bar shows progress toward the next Runic Level.
  3. 3. Use a rune item (Vitality, Might, Aethermind…) to unlock that spell. Locked runes stay grey until both the item and the required level are met.
