Question about Runes

Hey guys.

I recently had a +15hp on a chestpiece of my armor. Then I found a +30hp rune to wanted to replace the +15hp one. Instead of replacing it added the rune and the +15hp stayed. So this means you can have more runes active on a armor (I never knew this).

Does this mean I can use Runes of Vigor (+10, the stacking ones) + a attribute enhancer on all my armor pieces?

Thanks in advance.

You can only have one rune active on each piece of armour, but you can have an insignia as well. Is that whatyou did?

You've got a Survivor's Insignia (health +15) and a Minor Vigor Rune (health +30) on your chest piece. That's why the one didn't replace the other.

The +15hp is a Survivor Insignia.

The +30hp is a Vigor Rune.

A piece of armour can have one Insignia and one Rune applied.

Vigor runes do not stack with each other (you should only use one), but if you want more HP you can add runes of Vitae (+10hp)

now you have a basic idea of runes and insignias its time to check out the page listing them all.

Then you can decide from what's available for your class and plan ahead.

Some runes are common to all character classes while others are specific.
Are you going hit points all the way or devoting some to extra armour for instance.

Also, Knights isn't the preferrable insignia option. You're generally better off with Sentry's or Sentinels.
