Rune question - Guild Wars Forums

My warrior is currently level 14 and he's using the char armor set. Should I buy runes now and set them on this armor set or should I wait until I have a better set? If I do buy the runes and set them up on this armor can I salvage the rune to use it on another armor set?

You could use some runes on your armor, if you wanted to. However, warrior runes can be a bit expensive so you may want to save your cash for the time being. Try to avoid superior runes until you're at level 20, as the health penalty on them can be troublesome at lower character levels.

And if you do decide to use runes, you can salvage them from your armor and use them on a different armor set later. You will have to use an expert (or superior) salvage kit to do this; you can find these on sale at pretty much every merchant.

When salvaging runes from your own armor (as opposed to armor drops) for recycling purposes, it's not 100% guaranteed.

It's been my experience that a full set of 5 armor pieces will only yield 2 to 4 runes. If you have a vigor on 1 piece, do that 1st, then work from most to least expensive.
