It had a different skin and was colored like a minor rune. These appearances were very rare tmk, but they are just as effective as the gold-lettered different skinned ones.

Don't worry. It's just a rarity.

If you had a superior before the rune image changing patch, they all now look like minors.

No they don't, I still have my major marksmanship rune. It's coloured blue, but it still looks like a superior.

If it says superior rune in the description thats what it is, whats he going to do photoshop what your seing on your computer?

The reason people sell these cheaper is because of the reaction they get, like people calling them fake and scammers for instance...........

The people who call them "fake" or whatever are complete retards.

When the game released, runes all had the same graphic. They changed it after a while (around a month I think). That is just an old superior vigor. Still works, still adds +50 health, just has a different graphic. If I were you, I would have bought it quick, if only to sell back to the rune trader for a bit of profit.

sixdartbart · Dec 30, 2005, 11:57 AM // 11:57

The rune trader won't buy these and Yes I have seen several.
The reason they didn't get updated was because they were on someones armor before the skins had been changed and they salavged it out after the skins had been changed. *at least that is my understanding*
It will work just the same as any other but has little resale value just because of people thinking everyone in the game is trying to scam everyone else.

Well, be careful, because these *are* used to scam people. If the person you're doing the trade with modifies his offer at any time, mouse over the rune to make sure they haven't switched it out for a regular minor vigor . . .

Actually, the player whos name is at the top of the trade window(the person who is trading the rune) tried scamming me with that superior rune.

LifeInfusion · Dec 30, 2005, 05:09 PM // 17:09

I have one. It is before they patched the runes to make them have different colored text and icons.

Never going to use it, because there will never be more.

Arturo02 · Dec 30, 2005, 05:20 PM // 17:20

the rune coloring system is messed up right now, runes are dropping that aren't the right colors.

agent of ascalon · Dec 30, 2005, 05:24 PM // 17:24

it can be used a form of scamming like he says " Hey ill sell sup vigor 40k in a rare skin." you put up 40k. He says " wait heres a christmas present, ill give to u for 25k," then u put up 25k he mdos his offer to minor vigor, BAM U GOT SCAMMED

I had a major vigor like that. Salvaged it from my armor but the rune trader wouldn't buy it from me. Used it on another character.

EF2NYD · Dec 30, 2005, 05:37 PM // 17:37

Didn't minors and majors have the same graphic and superiors used the current major graphic?

That thread got merged sometime I think, regular search is just pulling up the scam thread rather than the real thread. I'm just letting this continue for now.

Funk_Styles · Dec 30, 2005, 06:37 PM // 18:37

the only reason people even have these is so they can scam people, unless they havent been playing in a long while, but thats a small minority. i just avoid anything that is under priced, those people are either newbs who are getting robbed, or they are scammers.
