Inscriptions & Insignias - Guild Wars Forums

I have a few questions about the new NF mods.

Inscriptions:
1) Are Inscriptions only for wepons?

2) Can they be applied to other chapter wepons?

Insignias:
1) What is the difference between them and runes?

2) Are they just for armor?

3) Does Night Fall armor have types like Glad's or Druid's etc...

ty for those answering my nubby questions

Inscriptions:
1. They are also for offhands and I think shields.
2. Each inscriptions can only be applied to the same kind of weapon it was salvaged off. It should say what on the description.

Also they can only be used on Elonian weapons.

Insignias:
1. Insignias are the actual mods on the armor and runes are just attribute bonuses and stuff.

2. Just armor.

3. The different kind of armors are defined by what insignia you attach to it. Like the windwalker insignia attached to (dervish) armor of any skin; makes windwalker armor. You can have one insignia and one rune per piece of armor. Insignias only work for Elonian armor (I think).

Does this mean you have to put an insignia on each armor peice to get the armor type you want? (druids, glads etc...)

I haven't played too much in Elona yet but the inscriptions I've gathered so far just have a name (like "vengeance is mine") and description (14^50). Since they didn't seem to be labeled as "sword 14^50" I was assuming they could be applied to any weapon. If not, how do you tell them apart?

Yes they can be applied to any weapon you want. I'm not 100% sure because I've never tested it myself.

You can't apply to just any weapon, though. Under the Name and the Effect, it should say something like "Inscribe on inscribable martial weapon" or "Inscribe on inscribable spellcasting weapon." At least the inscriptions I've found have this. I tried putting an inscription that would reduce casting time of spells onto a wand for one of my heroes, but it wouldn't go; I checked and realized the inscription was for "martial" weapons.
