Sacred 2:Runes
Throughout the course of the game you will find runes that upgrade combat arts or unlock those not learned yet. Runes also add bonuses to items when they are forged in. You may either use a new rune when you find it or exchange it at a runemaster for another one. For a fee, a runemaster will let you exchange runes that you don’t need for others. You can give a runemaster up to four runes. The number of runes you have to offer influences the fee for the exchange. The more runes, the cheaper the exchange.
Rune Exchange rates at Runemaster:
1 rune for 1 rune: 125000 gold
2 runes for 1 rune: 25000 gold
3 runes for 1 rune: 5000 gold
4 runes for 1 rune: 500 gold
Runes that you find or obtain in exchange for other runes from a runemaster are placed in your backpack inventory. Hold the cursor over them to learn about the runes and their effects. Memorize a combat art rune by right clicking it.
Although you will be able to memorize multiple runes of the same combat
art to increase its level, the maximum level of a combat art is limited by your
character’s level.
The following is a list of runes as dropped by class along with their secondary rune effects. Secondary rune effects are particularly useful at lower levels when gold is at a premium, and runes drop more freely. Using runes to socket with in a creative fashion can significantly increase your damage output, type of damage you do, imbue with life leech...etc. Also don't forget that secondary effects of Runes stack...so these extras can greatly benefit a character, at least one that's starting off
