I think you got that Minor Vigor Rune from the quest in NF. The trader doesnt buy that from you.

Neo Nugget · Nov 29, 2007, 02:03 AM // 02:03

You must have gotten it from the quest in nightfall, happened to me.

MaDDoG1221 · Nov 29, 2007, 02:04 AM // 02:04

Ohh so thats why! lol i see now :P

Though is it still tradeable to other people?

~nymph~ · Nov 29, 2007, 02:21 AM // 02:21

i believe it is

RPGmaniac · Nov 29, 2007, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Haha, and all this time I thought the trader was refusing to buy ALL minor vigor runes. Was wondering how the price still hovered around 1k :P

If you have runes left over from back before their appearance was changed, the trader won't buy those either. That happened to me once.

RPGmaniac · Nov 29, 2007, 02:28 AM // 02:28

Yeah, I noticed that when I saw my friend log into his account after a long break. He was trying to sell the runes to the trader and he wouldn't buy them (it was a blue named major dom rune).

Same with the older major runes, when their HP stats were changed.

santaclaus66 · Nov 29, 2007, 07:29 AM // 07:29

But the regular merchant should be able to give u some gold for them,
at least they did that when the HP penalty was changed.

Really annoying when that happened, had just bought all the sup runes for 6 characters.

T1Cybernetic · Nov 29, 2007, 10:27 AM // 10:27

I had that minor vigor for ages too because i didnt know what to do with it as i already had lots of vigor on characters so i gave it away free to the first character under lvl 10 to trade with me

"EDIT"
Now that i think of it, because it's an easy quest to complete i recon they made it like that to stop people repeatedly remaking characters to "farm" that quest for the rune for gold.

Hey,
I have a similar situation. I'm trying to sell a Major Rune of Swordsmanship (I think that's the att) but Sheel refuses to buy it. I have never played any of the games other than Prophecies, so it cannot be that I received it in a quest from another game. I believe I most likely purchased it from her some time ago.

any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Old major runes with Health -50 are obsolete and cannot be sold to traders. They were replaced by major runes with Health -35.

You might be able to find a player who wants to collect old items like those.

Arlan · Sep 04, 2008, 12:16 AM // 00:16

Sell the Minor Vigor in game (use trade chat).

You can check the price by getting 'quote' from Rune Trader - and sell for a bit less.

Old Runes: my sup absorb was worth a fortune once - keeping now for fulmental reasons - no one wants it!!! :-(
