Can you remove runes from armor?

Yeah, like the title already says, is it possible to remove runes from armor once you've already applied it? Maybe a stupid question, but I'm really not sure.

Yes, just use a superior salvage kit (not always guarenteed tho). Make sure you try the seach button before you ask btw.

He might also mean to "strip" a rune off of an armor w/o salvaging it. In that case, no, you cant. The only way to get a rune back is to salvage it. If you want to keep the armor and separate the rune, its impossible. When you try to apply another rune on top of it, its gets overwriten by the new one.

If you want to keep the rune but not the armor, use an expert salvage.

If you want to keep the armor but not the rune, buy whatever minor rune for your class is cheapest and slap it on the armor to overwrite the old one.

If you want to keep the rune and the armor, you're out of luck.

Even though you can that NatalieD, I still think it would be cool if you could just remove the rune without having the worry to salvage.

But the minor runes do help if you need to change stuff up.
