}}'''Runes''' are items used to apply modifications to equipment. They replace the traditional enchanting present in vanilla, and compared to enchantments, runes can also carry negative effects. They can be both applied and removed from any equipment that contains rune slots. Applying runes to items is referred to as engraving and can be done by simply clicking with the rune on an item that accepts it.


Get runes from mobs, buy them the magic shop at spawn.  
Runes can be categorized by enrichment and utility type. Enrichment determines how potent a rune is, therefore affecting its range of modification on the item it gets engraved to. Utility type distinguishes runes based on the type of effects they can have.


<!-- Red Runes -->
== Rune types ==
<!-- Rune of the Wolfy -->
Rune slots aren't universal, as any slot can only accept a specific type of rune. Runes of the same type carry the same color hue. There are four types in total:

Runes can also be enriched to enhance their abilities. There are five tiers of enrichment, each with the potential to enhance the effects of the previous one. Rune stats are randomized within tier-specific ranges, meaning that a more enriched rune might still receive a lower random stat value than a good, less enriched rune carries.

== Obtaining ==
| title = Dormant Rune of the Snake
The current way to obtain runes is to trade shattered runes for experience at the local [[Runebearer]] in [[Spawn]]. Once eight rune shards of an identical rune have been gathered, they can be enriched into a dormant rune.
