Runes

i have never used runes before. i am a warrior and i have seen there are warrior runes. what do they do? are they used up? or do u keep them forever?

Once you apply a rune to your armour, they stay there permanently. You should not that there are some general runes that are available to all classes, and some of these tend to be the most useful.

You should be thinking about using a superior or major (your choice really) weapon rune, but only if you also buy a Major/Superior Vigor rune. These type of runes do not stack.

The insignias (the items at the beginning of each section) do stack. Each piece of armour can have one insignia and one rune attached to it, and in the end the armour description will look like this:

Brawler's (insignia) Gladiator Armour of Super Axe Master (Rune).

Hope this helps

do u reccomend any certain type of rune? i use a sword and i am also a ranger but my main weapon choice is a sword.

A minor sword, tactics and strength rune is what i would probably use. If you can get a helmet that has +1 swordsmanship

IMO runes and insignias are very important, if you use them correctly...
