Principles

When talking about crafting runes, we usually refer to the so-called 'embedding runes'. These kinds of runes can be found throughout Taborea. They can be used to reinforce items such as weapons, armour or accessories. Each piece of equipment that has one or more rune-slots can be enhanced with this type of rune. But it has to be taken into account that some runes can only be embedded into specific items.

There are embedding Runes with different levels. The higher the level of the Rune the higher the bonus received by players who are using the Runes. With a level I Vitality Rune, a bonus of +3 Wisdom is obtained. The bonus of the same kind of Rune, but level V, will grant players a bonus of +13 Wisdom.

Types of Crafting

If you want to craft your own new runes, you basically need one thing: runes. Different runes can be combined to form new runes using the Arcane Transmutor. When it comes to processing Runes, there are two different goals:

  1. To upgrade the level of the rune.
  2. To create new Runes.

For both processes you need the Arcane Transmutor which will require charges. The Arcane Transmutor charges can be obtained in the Item Shop or in the Phirius Token Shop.

Basic Runes

There are eleven Basic Runes on the lowest level. They form the foundation of the Rune system. All further Runes that can be produced by players are based on these Basic Runes:

  • Vitality
    (Wisdom bonus)
  • Harm
    (Attack bonus)
  • Power
    (Strength bonus)
  • Magic
    (Maximum MP bonus)
  • Shell
    (Magic defense bonus)
  • Strike
    (Magical damage bonus)
  • Defense
    (Defense bonus)
  • Quickness
    (Dexterity bonus)
  • Endurance
    (Maximum HP bonus)
  • Resistance
    (Stamina bonus)
  • Mind
    (Intelligence bonus)

Upgrading Rune Levels

You can upgrade a rune's level by placing five runes of the same type and the same level into the Arcane Transmutor and combining them.

Example:

5x
Vitality
Tier I		 = 1x
Vitality
Tier II

This process can be carried out with more than five Runes at a time.

10x
Vitality
Tier I		 = 2x
Vitality
Tier II

Crafting New Runes

Crafting new runes is a rewarding process. With the appropriate ingredients players can create very powerful runes which will provide outstanding attribute bonuses.

An example:

Target-Rune:

  • Potential Rune 1
    (+3 on all attributes)

In order to produce this Rune the following Basic Runes are needed:

  • 2x Vitality
    (Wisdom bonus)
  • 2x Power
    (Strength bonus)
  • 1x Magic
    (Maximum MP bonus)
  • 1x Endurance
    (Maximum HP bonus)
  • 1x Resistance
    (Stamina bonus)
  • 1x Mind
    (Intelligence bonus)

Step 1

2x
Vitality 		+ 2x
Power		 = 2x
Excite
1x
Endurance		 + 1x
Mind		 = 1x
Triumph
1x
Magic		 + 1x
Resistance		 = 1x
Guts

Step 2

1x
Excite		 + 1x
Triumph		 = 1x
Anger
1x
Excite		 + 1x
Guts		 = 1x
Mayhem

Step 3

1x
Anger		 + 1x
Mayhem		 = 1x
Potential

Tier 1 Potential Rune is finished.

Following the same recipe, you can also craft higher level Potential Runes. But in order to do this, you first need to craft basic Runes of the desired level, as described in “Upgrading the level of Runes”.

In Conclusion:

Basically, all possible Runes can be combined with each other. Thanks to the Arcane Transmutor preview function you can see whether you will create an appropriate Rune before the conversion process takes place. There are no limits to using your imagination and experimenting.

If you explore and get to master the Rune system, you will discover undreamt-of possibilities to optimize your character. The higher the level of the Rune the more powerful the respective bonuses will turn out. It’s worth the effort!
