Description

Runes are items that can be used to give other items a bonus, or used one time to activate their effect.

There are 65 different rune effects in Wurm, using combinations of 13 different metals and 5 possible gods available.

Creation

Runes are crafted by using different materials found at rifts (rift crystals, rift stones, and rift wood) combined with a lump of metal. The different combinations will create different rune types, each type giving a different effect.

When crafting a rift resource with a lump of metal, you are given the option of 5 different rune types:

• Fo
• Magranon
• Vynora
• Libila
• Jackal

Depending on the type of rune created, the skills used will be jewelry smithing, stonecutting, or fine carpentry.

Each god and metal combination creates a rune of a different effect; that is, a brass rune of Libila will not have the same effect as a brass rune of Magranon. Some may be similar in effect, with different strengths.

Effects

The combination of metal type and god type will determine the effect of a rune.

The rift resource used will determine what the rune can be attached to or used on.

• Rift wood runes - can be used on wooden items
• Rift crystal runes - can be used on metal items
• Rift stone runes - can be used on stone, pottery, cloth and leather items

Notes

• Application of runes can only be done by the owner.
• Runes decay dramatically fast outside of inventory.
• Runes are removed by a priest's dispel casting.
