Once you put a rune on a piece of armour can you take it off? And when there is a rune already on a piece of armour can you put on a different rune and the other one is replaced by the new one?

there is a chance (possibly a 50/50 or so) you can salvage it.

my luck has been about 50/50 i think

You can get the rune back...possibly if you salvage. This is not a guarantee...you may get salvage materials. If you put a new Rune on it cancels the old rune out. Also...for instance if you have a minor vigor on you legs, a major on you helmet, and a superior on your chest. Only the superior will count. The better...or should I say greater supercedes the other no matter what peice it is on.

There is a bunch of postings on this...

also note salvaging to get your rune back means your armour piece goes bye-bye. expensive if you wear 15k armour...

Shimus DarkRaven · Nov 23, 2005, 05:01 PM // 17:01

If you want to remove it, Expert salvage is the way, as regular gives back just materials. Now if you want to upgrade the rune of the same type<or different> just overwrite the current rune in there by double click on rune you want, and the piece of armor with the rune you want to overwrite/upgrade.

Also, I don't recommend salvaging higher up armor incase you made an oops, just cancel out the rune if you don't want it anymore by getting a rune already in your armor and putting another type <of the same> in. It'll cancel both out effectively "removing" the rune until you want to salvage/upgrade/overwrite. Hope this helped!

slightly off topic, but will runes stack with the 'specialized helmets'? ie can i use a markmanship rune with my archers mask and have them stack? don't want to waste a rune to check n see

Nope, once you apply a rune to a piece of armor you cannot take it out except with an expert salvage kit that will destroy that peice of armor.

dargon · Nov 24, 2005, 05:27 PM // 17:27

like boxterduke said, however, if you just want to remove a rune because you don't like it's penalty, ie you put 2 superior runes on your armor but decided you only want one, it might be cheaper to buy a minor rune of whatever, to replace the superior with instead of salvaging the armor and having to rebuy that.
