Inscribed stone, that empower or grant additional effects to armor and weapon. Need to be inserted into socket to activate effect. Sockets are present in all equipment pieces of rare and higher quality. Depending on rarity of equip, amount of sockets may vary. Type of slots might vary too(doesn't affect Class Sets).Once piece of equipment with socket is obtained, Aidan, The Runesmith, will be available and help to familiarize with rune handling process.

## Usage and Acquisition

Runes can be found anywhere in The World. Found in Common and Crystal chests when running Locations or Dungeons. Sold in Arena shop and at Merchant stall as a rune chests. Most abundantly they are found in Tower of Trial.
To the notice, however, only Tower of Trial and Golden Chest from merchant holds Legendary grade runes.
Once acquired runes can be inserted into equipment or infused with each other. When runes are infused their effects becomes stronger as well as their value. If a better rune is found, the older one can be removed and used to empower newer one. Removing runes cost gold but fee is very small.

## Rune sockets

The socket quantity and types are fixed in each item. Only a matching type can be inserted into a socket.

Unique (purple), legendary (orange) and set items have 2 sockets, rare (blue) items have one of the available two. Uncommon (green), and common (grey) items have no sockets.

The item socket list is the following:

 chest
 arms
 weapon
 amulet
 ring

## Rune Types

Runes, aside from normal rarity and tiers sorting, can be classified as Damage, Stat and Special. Their shape and engraving are permanent attributes and specify what kind of rune it is. Engravings are in fact stylized letters(I.e. Resistance Status rune have stylized letter R engraved) so it's possible to know what rune has been looted without reading note.
While not exactly a type, Flawed Rune, is a kind of rune piece that have no other value than extra gold from sell or empowerment of a formed rune.
