some of the armors you find (those rune thingies) have insignia's you can salvage, I found 2 so far. I don't know yet how to place them though :/

I had an armour drop with both an insignia and a rune on it, so maybe armour can now take two upgrades. But waiting for one of the later cities before I get any armour, most of the crafters so far are pretty low grade, ie armour with no bonuses.

EDIt:

Hmm maybe all armour crafted is just base and you have to add the +10 armour vs elemental or such via insignias.

hmm I have found 2 insignia's so far:

Blighter's insignia [Necromancer]
I suppose that means you can only use it on necro's, it doesn't work on my factions necro with factions armor tho.

Survivor's insignia
Not this is interesting.. it offers +health, but maybe the title means only those with the survivor title can use it? Would make sense to me, with the recent 'bonus for titles' stuff going on in nightfall..

insignias can only be added to armor with blank insignia spots.
Currently only some nightfall armor have this blank spot. ( maybe more later on)

Hmm got a rune of clarity, reduces blind and weakness by 20%. No class restriction.

Also a Shaman's insignia for ritualists. +armour depending on the number of spirits.

Some neat stuff is turning up, but geez, its going to be hard to get the armour that you want until the supply of inscriptions grows.

Yeah oddly enough it might be a lot better (or at least easier) to get armored in chp1 or chp2? :b

NOTE: Well Ive been playing since start and still can't upgrade my armor with things like vs Elemental or extra energy and such. This is rediculous. How do they expect us have decent armor?

Then there is the Armor for HERO's.

We need to provide and purchase them em RUNES?!

Even if I do find an insignia for a character it will go to one of my 64 HERO's...

Can't imagine what this will do to the ecconomy.

GRINDING ANYONE?!

I think the whole armor and weapons upgrades system (what with the inscriptions and insignias and blank armor) will be significantly better in about a month, once everything reguarding how it all works and what's where is figured out. It seems, to me, at least, to be a little overwhelming right now, but then again, it's only the first day the game is out.

Thus far, I've found two insignias (I don't remember which ones off the top of my head). And isn't the armor outside of the Kourna main city (Sunspear whatever) max?

2, 500 points takes 2 hours...how is that a grind compared to other MMORPG's and the 10k faction demand in Factions? Also remember, there was no AB in Factions til after a week. I was paying 20k per amber and grinding 5 hours a day to afford 15k kurzick armor before the first week.

Also, I have a ranger insigna of beastery or something +10 armor while pet is alive

You don't know grind til you experience it in other MMOs. Grinding is something so bad people bot to do it. For example, right clicking the same button 5 hundred thousand times to level a skill from lvl 1 to lvl 2 (instead of attribute levels that just have arrows like we do)... that is what I call grind. Not killing abunch of mobs you kill anyway when walking in between quests and towns...

I have seen 2 of these insignias in Droks for Necromancers and Rangers.I wouldn't mind knowing where the rest of the classes are and if there are any.

Thanks Zinger and yes I did with my Warrior at 4 am Friday morning 2 hours after release. So I stopped and chose to win the game first with my Paragon until I have unlocked all of the tricks of the trade. In this way I can fully understand how the GRIND system works.

YOu can buy insignias that you've unlocked... but for some reason the rune trader is out of them everytime I go to buy them

I think you can buy any insignia - at least I haven't unlocked any, but have bought loads from the rune trader.

Keep opening the trader and buy fast. They disappear in seconds.

This system is great, IMO, and availability will likely improve in the coming days. Why are people so impatient to have everything now?

No I'm too busy doing my 7500 Sunspear point grind thankyousomuchforasking.

And no this insignia is not that hot of an idea. Of course good that you don't need to buy new armor every time you want have different stats but eventually some insignias will be more sought after than others. For example extra energy/health insignias will be more valuable than say +10 AL vs slashing. It wouldn't amaze me if you'd have to spend tens of plats to equip yourself with these insignias.
