They may have changed how purples work with runes. They don't tell use all the changes they make.

I've always been able to get superior runes on purple armors. Not a sup vigor, but stuff like sup beast mastery, etc. Until yesterday, I thought that was what usually happened. Purples can give superior runes, but it's rare.

I have never once seen a superior appear on a purple drop. It has been that you can get superior or major from gold, or major or minor from purple and only minor from blue, I have never heard of anyone getting superiors from purples until now. If it has always been possible, what is the point of gold armors?

Yes, you can get a superior rune from a purple rune. It's very rare but it does happen. There have been posts and threads about people getting them in the past.

I'm seeing A LOT of this chatter in Beetletun as I stand there now. Anyone found a major rune on a gold armor SINCE the update? That's my real question. Maybe they've made golds ONLY Superiors... since purples now seem to be giving superiors more often than before (based on the chatter, I was there for the quest).

I just picked up a purple armor, and when i ID'd it, it had a superior strength rune. I didn't know it was possible for purples to have superiors, even though golds could have majors. has this happened to anyone else before?

I can't get much from gold armors. 75% of my time when I do these runs I get purple runes from gold armors. Hurra for me... -_-

I was just in a party doing to Luxon settlement mission. Two gold armor drops, one was a Sup Necro, one was a Sup Vigor (gratz to that guy!)

I'm thinking the update changed drop rates.

I got a sup death rune from a purple armor like an hour ago, I think it's because of the new patch, always helpful for ettin farming
