Runes

Magical runes that enhance weapons and armor with powerful effects.

Runes

Runes are magical inscriptions that can be applied to equipment through the Runic Forge, granting powerful enchantments and abilities that go beyond vanilla enchanting. Each rune fits a specific equipment slot and provides a unique effect.

The Runic Forge

Before you can apply runes, you need to craft a Runic Forge -- the specialized workstation where runes are both created and applied to gear.

Rune Slot System

Not all equipment accepts runes. Only certain custom items have rune slots:

  • Dwarven Axe -- 2 rune slots (melee weapon runes)
  • Dwarven Pickaxe -- 2 rune slots (tool/pickaxe runes)
  • Most custom armor pieces accept their respective slot runes

Items like the Dark Axe and Fairy Pickaxe have no rune slots, trading customization for raw power.
