How to get the runes?
Bind Runes of STR/INT/AGI
For these ones you have to exchange items, some you have to buy with zeny and some you get from quest. The exchange has to be done with four NPCs in Prontera
From left to right you can buy: The Elixirs, the Runes, the Pearls and the Powders
There is where you buy and Exchange the items for the runes but you also need items from quest
Let’s start with the +50 runes, the quest for the runes are in Morroc and can be done once everyday
The quest are at the bottom and you could tell which are because they start with “Request”
For every quest you get one item, so it takes 4 days to make a +50 rune, if you do the quest with 4 characters it will take you 1 day to make it. Which quest and how many times a day you do it is up to you. You can check what item you have the most and which you lack.
Knowing that you get the five items for the quest and the others you buy from the NPCs in Prontera here is a quick table to know what you need to make your +50 rune
This is what you need before going to the NPCs in Prontera:
- 4 Alchemist’s Stone (from quest)
- 3 Mid Solvent (from quest)
- 2 Low Grade Solvent (from quest)
- 2 Lowest Grade Solvent (from quest)
- 2 Exhausted Stone
- 250z
I’ll make an example to get a +50 STR rune, but if you want to get an INT or AGI rune, the items you have to buy have the same name but instead of STR in their name it says INT or AGI
First we go to the Powder merchant (Rune Merchant – Stat Powder) and buy:
- 10 Lowest Grade Stat Powder + STR
- 3 Low Grade Stat Powder + STR
Then to the Pearl Merchant (Rune Merchant – Crystal & Solvent) and buy:
- 2 Faintly Shining Pearl
- 2 Gorgeously Shining Pearl
- 1 Abyss Pearl
Then to the Elixir Merchant (Rune Merchant – Elixir) and buy:
- 2 Lowest Grade Rune of STR Elixir
- 2 Low Grade Rune of STR Elixir
- 1 Mid Rune of STR Elixir
And finally to the Rune Merchant and buy the +50 Rune of STR
To make the +80 rune is similar but you have to do one more quest and you need more of the other items and more zeny
In total you have to take 6 quests, the ones of Morroc and another one from Forgotten Payon
Like before, here is what you need before going to the NPCs of Prontera:
- 8 Alchemist’s Stone (from quest)
- 5 High Grade Solvent (from quest
- 6 Mid Solvent (from quest)
- 4 Low Grade Solvent (from quest)
- 4 Lowest Grade Solvent (from quest)
- 4 Exhausted Stone
- 800z
I’ll make an example to get a +80 STR rune, but if you want to get an INT or AGI rune, the items you have to buy have the same name but instead of STR in their name it says INT or AGI
First we go to the Powder merchant (Rune Merchant – Stat Powder) and buy:
- 20 Lowest Grade Stat Powder + STR
- 6 Low Grade Stat Powder + STR
- 3 Mid Stat Powder + STR
Then to the Pearl Merchant (Rune Merchant – Crystal & Solvent) and buy:
- 4 Faintly Shining Pearl
- 4 Gorgeously Shining Pearl
- 2 Abyss Pearl
- 1 Dimension Pearl
Then to the Elixir Merchant (Rune Merchant – Elixir) and buy:
- 4 Lowest Grade Rune of STR Elixir
- 4 Low Grade Rune of STR Elixir
- 2 Mid Rune of STR Elixir
- 1 High Grade Rune of STR Elixir
And finally to the Rune Merchant and buy the +80 Rune of STR
Blueseed, Redseed and Greenseed runes
Blue and Red runes are dropped from mobs in Fallen Fortress, there are two NPCs that teleport you there and they are in Prontera
Green runes are dropped in Chaos Dungeon, you can enter there from Fallen Fortress
Also you can get the Green runes from mystery chest that you get doing daily quest in Morroc and Dayr Dessert
In addition Blue, Red and Green runes drop from mobs in Forgotten Payon
Things you need to know:
- Blueseed, Redseed and Greenseed runes drop without level, they get a random level from 1 to its max when you equip the rune, if their level is low you can keep adding runes till you get one you find good but since is random it can drop level too.
- If you have a very good rune and want to transfer it to another gear or sell it you have to use a "Rune Remover" and it will keep its level (Rune Remover is a Kafra Shop item and you can also get it from Phantom Pyramid
-Accesories and Costumes have rune holes too but you need a "Super Puncher" that is another Kafra Shop item. for accesories there is an accesory puncher that you can get through Union quests
- Every item in this guide can be obtained also from Kafra Shop, Auction House, Other Players and some events
- To go to Chaos Dungeon You need to complete a Quest first form King Reinhard in Prontera
