Rune

Ezomyte runes are items that can be socketed into martial weapons and armour. Some runes can also be socketed to wands and staves. Socketed runes add an enchantment to the item, granting generic stats. Once socketed, runes cannot be removed, though they can be replaced by another rune or soul core. Doing so will not return the original rune. Runes are mechanically similar to soul cores and talismans.

Most runes are part of the core drop pool. Certain runes are found exclusively in The Phaaryl Megalith. Runes can be upgraded a tier higher by using three of the same runes in the Reforging Bench.

Rune can be placed in the wildcard slots of the Currency Stash Tab as well as behave like a stackable currency.

Desert, Glacial, Storm, Iron, Body, Mind, Rebirth, Inspiration, Stone and Vision runes all now work on Wands and Staves, with their own set of modifiers. Renly's abandoned shop in Ogham Village now also has a Blank runeBlank RuneUntouched by fate. Its power waits for a purpose.Take this Rune to Renly in Clearfell Encampment to be forged into a Rune of your choosing which Renly can forge into any elemental rune of your choosing in case you didn't find any up to that point. Added 3 new types of runes for attributes allowing you to fix early game requirement issues: Adept, Robust and Resolve. Added Tempered rune‎s.[Undocumented]
0.2.0	Runes now have 3 tiers, for example the Storm Rune has been split into a Lesser Storm Rune, a Storm Rune and a Greater Storm Rune. You are able to reforge 3 Lesser Runes for 1 regular Rune of that type, and reforge 3 regular Runes for 1 Greater Rune of that type. Doubled the drop rate of Runes. You can no longer reforge 3 Runes to obtain a random Rune in return. Regular runes have received new 2D art.[Undocumented]
0.1.1	Socketables such as Runes can now be overwritten by placing another socketable item into the socket.
0.1.0d	Runes now sell to vendors for more Gold. Updated the description on Runes to clarify that once socketed they cannot be replaced.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
