Runes

The Forge Wiki

Runes are obtainable items in The Forge which, when found, can be placed inside of equipment sockets called Rune Slots. Rune Slots are usually unlocked by Enhancing your equipment to +3.

However, in some cases—specifically when it comes to Pickaxes some equipment comes with Rune Slots already unlocked.

Overview

Enjoying our The Forge Wiki? Check out another one we made for FireAtacck’s upcoming game Abyss!

Slotting your equipment with Runes has the following effects:

  • Increased Stats or extra Traits:
    • Some of the Runes available can increase the Stats of your equipment (i.e. increased Ore yield or Luck when mining, Damage with a Weapon or defenses on a piece of Armor etc.)
  • Visuals:
    • Some of the Runes, when applied to a piece of equipment, can alter its visual appearance. For example, slotting a Flame Spark Rune onto a Weapon will grant it a fiery appearance.

Note: Unwanted Runes can be sold for $ by talking to the Greedy Cey NPC.

Acquiring Runes

Note: If you still haven’t unlocked all of the enemies in the Enemy tab of the Index, you can check out which enemy drops what by heading over to our Enemies page.

Runes are primarily dropped by enemies when defeated. By opening up your Index, and going to the Enemies tab, you can see which Enemies drop Runes, and what are their drop Chances.

Attaching Runes

Note: In order to attach or slot Runes onto a piece of equipment, you’ll first need to Enhance it up to +3 to unlock the first Rune Slot.

Runemaker Location in Stonewake’s Cross village

To Attach a Rune, players will need to visit the Runemaker NPC, which can be found at his shop in Stonewake’s Cross, or in the Forgotten Kingdom.

The process of Attaching Runes will require the player pay $, in exchange for the Runemaker’s services.

Interacting with the Runemaker NPC will open up the “Equipment Selection” screen. After selecting a piece of Equipment, players can choose which Rune they would like to Attach. Selecting it, and clicking the “Attach” button will bind the Rune to your Equipment.

    To the guy below me (@UnchangedLlama) Yeah obviously? You can't increase the base dmg, its a modifier you add.

    If someone wants to use [mine shard] with {mine power} to upgrade the pickaxe and mine more durable ores, just know that it DOESN'T WORK, it adds dmg, but not increase the base dmg... learned it the hard way :C

  • MusicalRattlesnake

    @MusicalRattlesnake

    percentages are random as are the boosts so you should add a range rather than base number miner shard can contain luck boosts and swift mining too

      ^to show what the known range the rune can range from, rather than just putting one value since they can change rather variedly
