Submit

The resistances for runes in armor are wrong. It's listed with 6/9/12/15, but it got reduced (?) to 5/7/9/11.

Submit

Mystical Giant Masterwork Rune adds +3 Strength on an armor-slot instead of +3 Constitution

Submit

Incorrect Giant Rock Rune value for vitality. My game says +111 vitality instead of +203. Did the value get changed?

Submit

Runes with +x% maximum armor increase whole armor or just Item they were put intro?

Submit

Why do the giant mystical masterwork runes give a bonus +3 when all others just give +1? As of now, there is absolutely no reason a 2h melee fighter would use a giant mystical rock rune (+1 2h, +15% earth dmg) over a giant masterwork rune of power (+3 str, +15% physical dmg), right? The +3 strength will boost your dmg way more than the +1 2h I would think, plus the other added damage stacks onto the physical dmg the sword is already dealing, instead of spreading it out over the 2 armor types.

Submit

The listed resistance values for all the runes seem high (playing definitive edition). Giant runes give +11% resistance (on armor).

Submit

Mystical Giant Masterwork Rune gives Constitution: +1 and maximum Physical Armour: +21%, not +40%.

Submit

Were the medium runes split so your slots in the c4afting table were 1 med, 1 med and 1 pixie dust? Also were can the list of what item types can have a rune slot, I have been looking everywhere and all that comes up is the old 3 runes to 1 forumns.

Submit

Does one need to find the book for crafting a specific (size) rune or can one 'learn' the recipe by trying different combinations of items and discovering it? I'm asking because, e.g. I don't have the recipe for large flame rune among the recipes learned, so I looked it up in the table here and then tried to combine 2 medium flame runes + pixie dust and it didn't work (invalid combination).

Submit

The Mystical Giant Venom Rune gives me +11% poison resistance, instead of +15% as written above, in addition to the +1 summoning.

Submit

FIrst frame can be found in a basement in Driftwood, where there's a lmprisioned lich (can't recall its name). From then on, just check vendors.

Submit

Obviously something does not work in your gameplay, at level 16 I have my 4 pg party full rune/mystic/power (16 runes in total). I confirm the nerf to the crit% of the flame runes.

Submit

In the definitive edition the flame runes have been nerfed greatly, they only give 3/4/5/6% crit chance now

hi I think I found a couple mistakes, I just crafted those runes and below are only the differences from the above:
- "Mystical Giant Flame Rune" => (W) 9% as fire dmg
- "Mystical Giant Thunder Rune" => (Ar) 15% Air res(Am) 6% Dodge
- "Mystical Giant Frost Rune" => (W) 11% as water dmg (Ar) 15% Water res (Am) 1 mov
- "Mystical Giant Rock Rune" => (W) 13% as Earth dmg

- "Giant Flame Rune of Power" => (W) 9% as Fire dmg
- "Giant Thunder Rune of Power" => (Ar) 15% Air res
- "Giant Frost Rune of Power" => (Ar) 15% Water res (Am) 1 mov
- "Giant Master Rune of Power" => (W) 2 str (Ar) 2 str and 30% phys armour (Am) 2 str and 30% mag armour
- "Giant Rock Rune of Power" => (W) 13% as Earth dmg

I am not sure if the reduction in some of the effects is intentional as a balance for the added attribute by the mystical/power runes or not but I hope that if some of these were nor intended someone notice this. Thanks

hi I think I found a mistake, I just crafted the "Mystical Giant Flame Rune" and the description says it adds Ranger 1 and 9% as fire damage not 15%.

Submit

Giant Thunder Rune of Power, when inserted into a necklace gives Finesse: +3 and Movement: +1.

Submit

You still need the spell crit talent.

Submit

Does the +crit from Flame Runes give spells the ability to crit, or does one still need to pick up the talent?

Submit

The latest patch has fixed the framed runes of power amulet traits between frost and thunder (they were swapped), but has not fixed the weapon damage bonuses. In addition the flame rune of power is +9% fire damage.

Submit

Giant Flame Rune while Mystical/Rune of Power seems to be bugged to only provide +9% flame damage instead of the +15% the actual rune should provide. Don't use it if you want the fire damage, Fire Resistance is correct at 15% and Critical is correct at 12% (check the stats when equipped so it's not just the text).

Submit

Giant Frost rune of power is +3 Int and +6% dodge on amulets, and +3 Int + 11% water damage on weapons

Submit

Giant Thunder rune of power seem to be giving only +11% air damage and +3 finesse.

Submit

Submit

I finally realized that Runes/Source Orbs can be extracted from gears when I am lvl18, don't be a silly like me. :(

Submit

Mystical Giant Venom Rune gives 15% accuracy, not 16%. It gives 1% less than its previous state, namely the simple Giant Venom Rune.

Submit

There was a mistake with 2 runes (at least), changed it.

Giant Frost Rune of Power - 15% Air resistance
Giant Thunder Rune of Power - 15% Water Resistance

Submit

mystical rune plus giant frost rune for some reason gives +6% dodging instead of its own property +1movement at least in recent patch ,fixed it on the table

Bought 2x Superior Pixie Dust Pouch from potion vendor at Driftwood Market Place, each for 1800 gold. 44% discount from bartering 7 and 100% attitude (just gift some 100s gold to the trader).

Submit

Can anyone tell me what Metal items work for where it says Metal + Water + Pixie dust. I have tried a bunch of different items and no luck, but i dont want to use something valuable if something cheap will do the trick.

Submit

there are some mistakes, regarding the last columns, some stats are switched : mystical/power of giant frost runes / giant thunder runes
Frost runes give movement and thunder give dodging.

Submit

Small Masterwork Rune required livewood LOG

Submit

Frame of power + giant frost rune is not +int.

Submit

when upgrading a rune to a rune one of power some of the armor and amulet stats change, ie thunder resistance becomes water resistance, not sure if its a bug atm

Submit

It seems I can't craft the small thunder rune without the recipe anybody know why?

Submit

Once I got to a higher level, the "Dwarf Worker" at the Paladin Checkpoint in Reaper's Coast sold some Pouches Superior Pixie Dust, quite expensive though like 2k gold a piece.

2x Large Rune + 1x Superior Pixie Dust = 1x Giant Rune

Submit

First of all - 3Xrune doesn't work. Don't know if since now, or always.
Second of all, Superior pixie dust is made from superior stardust, which is made from superior stardust herb. I bought it on bloodmoon island.

Anyone knows what to do with ALIEN LIFE ESSENCE?

Submit

2 small/medium/ # pixie dust= rune of the 1 higher tier. 2 large runes #pouch of superior pixie dust= giant rune

Submit

im right at the end of the game at 60 hours and i still have no idea how the crafting system works.. about the only thing ive figured out (by guessing) is the runes are all 2 runes 1 dust and that frames are extremely rare... im sure theres some way to craft them out of scraps.... but who knows because ive only gotten a handful of recipes and ive picked up almost every book ive come across.

Submit

Is pouch of superior pixie dust even in the game yet? No one knows how to make/find it!

Submit

how's Pouch Of Superior Pixie Dust made?

Submit

cannot seem to get the giant rune crafting to work, using 2 large runes of same types in different slots + pixie dust. example would look like large fire +large fire+ pixie dust

Submit

Combining 3 small ones to a large one doesn't work. 2 with pixie dust worked tho.

Submit

You need three ingredients it clearly states. To make just put 1 each in different slot and then press combine.
2 small runes AND pixie dust.to get medium rune
OR 3 small runes to make a large rune
OR 3 medium runes to make a Giant rune.

Submit

When i try to combine 2 runes (same type) to make a medium it doesnt work. What am i doing wrong? please help

Submit

.... idk why, but the runes you want to put into things have to be the that character's item bag otherwise they wont be available in the list

Submit

Submit
