Runecrafting (Rift Profession)
|
Runecrafters can Runebreak magical armor, weapons, and many other items, and turn the resultant materials into Runes that can be bound to certain armor and weapons to increase their magical power.
Because you need materials that can only be obtained by Runebreaking, Runecrafter is a expensive profession. This is due both to the items you will need to buy so you can break them, and the items you get from adventuring that, instead of selling for cash, you break for materials.
Additionally, Runecrafters need Planar Dusts and consumables that come from participation in rift events. For this reason, we suggest that all others send these to their guild's Runecrafter as they outgrow them.

Runebreaking

|---|---|---|---|---|
| All | Kinetic Arc | 5 -> Kinetic Charge | 3 -> Kinetic Burst | Kinetic Arc x15 |

Runes
There are many different types of Runes, and each type has multiple tiers.
Runes are applied directly and permanently to weapons and armor. Each type of rune will tell you what items it may be applied to. This is not to be confused with temporary rune effects, such as the Shrouded Rune, which will stack with permanent runes.
Many faction quartermasters will sell runes for one type of weapon or armor which will require a certain Notoriety with that faction to purchase. For a listing of these, see Armor Runes.
The tiers of craftable runes are Dim, Glowing, Bright, Luminous, Radiant, Brilliant, Blazing, and Incandescent. Every tier does not have every type of Rune.
For a complete table of all the Runes that can be player-crafted, including what they do and which slots they apply to, see Runes.
Ally Faction Recipes
| Recipe | Skill Req'd | Zone | Faction | Notoriety | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Incandescent Adamant Rune | 300 | Ember Isle | The Keepers | Honored | none |
| Incandescent Tenacious Rune | 300 | Ember Isle | The Keepers | Honored | none |
Rift Faction Recipes
The following recipes require a certain rift ally faction to purchase.
Unlike other Runes that give bonuses to stats, the first six Runes in this table add a proc to a weapon. For example, the can be applied to any Two Handed weapon and adds a chance to reduce your target's armor by 178, for 10 seconds, when you use a damaging ability. These are similar to procs granted by Greater Essences.
The rest of the Runes in this table add Resistances.
