How many runes? - Guild Wars Forums

blackbird71 · Jul 12, 2005, 05:02 PM // 17:02

I've heard that you can only use a max of 3 runes at a time, is this true? Or can you equip one rune for each item of armor?

If it is maxed at 3, what would happen if you tried putting on 4 pieces of armor, each already with a rune?

Thanks!

Hmm i always used one rune for each armor. I used 3 minors to boost three skills, then a vigor (increase my health). All seem to work fine.

5 runes 1/piece

You can use one rune in each piece of equipped armor. However, you cannot gain any additional benefit from using more than 1 rune of a type. So 2 minors would still be 1 attribute boost, and a minor and a major would just be the 2 boost from the major.

You can only use runes from your primary profession, and the vigor and absorbtion runes.

Absorption runes are only usable by warriors
