Rune Question - Guild Wars Forums

Lets say I have a minor vigor rune on my Gladiator Boots. If I try to upgrade them with my Major Absorb, would it overide the minor rune?

Burakus Lightwing · May 05, 2006, 09:14 PM // 21:14

yes. You will be prompted with the question, "are sure that you want to replace the current rune with the new one"

Olfin Bedwere · May 05, 2006, 09:14 PM // 21:14

Yes it would.

90es · May 05, 2006, 09:18 PM // 21:18

So this will happen with any other rune? Wheter its a Warripr Sup against warrior minor or a warrior major?

Olfin Bedwere · May 05, 2006, 09:20 PM // 21:20

Yes, you can even put a minor back over a sup. or a major if you so choose.

wow ive had that same question for about a month

You would have to insert the rune into aonther peice of armor to keep them both.

Like Vigor on one peice, [whatever weapon you use] mastery on another peice, abs on another, str on another, and tactics on the last.

yes, it will

Also lets say you have 2 minor vig runes. When you look on your armor pieces next to the bonus it shows it says non-stacking. Only one of each rune type works on armor. If you have to vig runes obn your armor only one of them will work. Whichever is higher.

if you put a major on the chest piece and have the minor on your boots you'll get the effect of the major, not the minor. That said, if you have a major on something and put a superior of the same type on a different location, any negatives will stack, the positive aspect will just be that of the superior rune.

Having 2 minor vigor runes, one in your helm and one in your feet will give you +30hp
Having 5 minor vigors in your armourset will give +30hp
Having 1 minor and 1 major vigor will give you +41hp
Having 2 minor and 3 major vigor will still give you +41hp

Using a major vigor on boots that have a minor vigor already will turn those boots into boots of major vigor. Your old minor vigor will disappear.
