Runes, colours, attribute points, money - Guild Wars Forums

poft123 · Aug 02, 2005, 04:21 AM // 04:21

I would like to know why some names of some items are of different colours some purple, some yellow and the usual white?

Normally, I should salvage unidentified items with expert salvage kit but suppose I use the identification kit first, then use the expert kit. Will that prevent me from getting items that I would have received using the expert kit directly without using identification kit?

Are there any special items that I can salvage to get runes?

People told me that I should receive attribute points when doing missions. So far I do not think I received any although I played missions for the first time either with henchmen or other online players. I only received attribute points when I completed a level.

Only a curiosity: how is it that some runes are 50000 gold others 90000gold? How can you amass so much money? It seems that we must play for a very very long time. Is it?

1) Difference between gold purple and blue weapons:

2)You find runes from enchanted armor, and then salvage them with a Expert Kit.

2 n heif) Enchanted armor has three rarities depending on the rarity of the contained rune: Blue (lowest, minors average), Purple(medium, majors average), Gold (Highest, Supremes and minors averrage).

They meant quests. There are two quests in the game that will boost your attributes. Each gives 15.

Yes it will prevent you from getting the parts. The item has no real special properties until you identify it, at which time, random abilities are assigned to it.

I don't think any rune goes for 90 plat, but as for why there are different prices for runes, simply: SOME ARE BETTER, RARER, MORE USEFUL, OR MORE SAUGHT AFTER THAN OTHERS.

As for getting the money, I've never had to buy a high costing rune; I get them on my own. But to get the money, people usualy sell items, information, or services.

Hope that covers it all
