How to Get Runes

Dropped by Enemies

Runes are dropped randomly by defeated enemies. Stronger enemies like rare mobs have a higher chance of dropping Runes.

Use Currency Exchange

Use Currency Exchange

Runes can also be obtained by visiting the Currency Exchange NPC in every Act. Currency Exchange becomes available in Cruel Difficulty which is unlocked after completing Act 3 on Normal difficulty.

Currency Exchange Explained

What Are Runes?

Socketable Items that Give Modifiers

Socketed Into Equipment

Runes are inserted into either Weapon or Armor with empty sockets to give them substantial buffs to their offense or survivability.

All runes have their dedicated effects that change whether they are inserted into a Martial Weapon or Armour piece.

Socketed Runes Can be Replaced with Other Runes

Although Runes cannot be pulled out once equipped, they can be replaced with another, giving players more freedom when building their characters. Note that replacing your socketed Runes will cause the Rune to be destroyed.
