Hey

You just need one superior absortion rune on one piece of armor. It doesn't matter what armor it is Glad's, Plate, Ascalon, whatever...

so absorbtion runes are global? thats reassuring since in game it doesnt say and i'd just put one on my boots

I would put sup absorb rune to chest part just to make sure.

That's what I did... just in case they get round to 'fixing' it...

does this apply to all runes like major swordmanship?

Runes can go on any piece of armor.

Runes of the same type do not stack! So there is no reason to have more than one of the same type (e.g two Swordsmanship runes).

Major Swordsmanship (+2) + Major Swordsmanship (+2) = +2 Swordsmanship

The only thing that does stack is the health penalty.

Attribute bonus from helmets do stack with runes.

Duelist's Helmet (+1) + Major Swordsmanship (+2) = +3 Swordsmanship

Just remember to put it on Forge or any armor like Citadel, Grotto, or Fow. Or when you want to expert salvage the sup absorb wont just get iron ingots.

They wouldn't "fix" the absorption rune, as it's working perfectly fine as is. What they could fix is the Knight's armor, but you'd have to get a whole new set of armor if that happened anyway.
