Six
superior runes equipped: gain all six effects.
Four
superior runes equipped: gain only the first four effects.
Three
minor runes equipped: no benefit compared to two runes; only two effects applied.
Runes are upgrade components for armor. Runes are unlike other upgrades because they grant a single set of bonuses dependent on the number of equipped runes. Each piece of armor may hold a rune in its upgrade slot and using multiple armor pieces with runes of the same name stack to give effects. Runes of the same name past that number will make the number in the description go red and have no additional effects. Breathing apparatuses are automatically switched with the equipped headgear, so to keep the same bonuses while underwater, both headgear and breathing apparatus must have the same rune. Runes may be crafted by armorsmiths, leatherworkers and tailors. Some runes cannot be crafted, but have to be bought at dungeon token vendors or produced using the mystic forge.
[edit] Stacking
Runes provide tiered bonuses based on the number equipped that are of the same type and level. There are two tiers for minor runes, four for major runes, and six for superiors. The odd-numbered bonuses typically boost attributes while the even-numbered ones usually provide a rune-specific effect, such as +5% chance to summon a parrot for six Superior Runes of the Pirate.
- Minor, major, and superior runes with the same suffix do not count towards these bonuses, e.g. equipping two Major Runes of the Ice and four Superior Runes of the Ice provides the (1) & (2) major bonuses and the (1)-(4) superior bonuses.
- Equipping extra minor or major runes will not provide an additional bonus, e.g. equipping four minor runes provides the same benefits as using just two.
- The tooltip on equipped runes tallies the total number of identical runes equipped: green showing active runes, red showing excess runes past the maximum of two (for minor) or four (for major) runes, and gray if there are additional effects possible. The effects themselves will be grayed-out if inactive or appear in blue if active.
[edit] Crafting
Runes can be crafted by armorsmiths, leatherworkers, and tailors. A complete list of craftable runes can be found on the pages for these crafting disciplines. Each "level" of rune (aside from superior runes) has two separate recipes, both with the same name. In general, rune recipes vary greatly in the tier of refined common crafting material needed (superior runes always require tier 6 materials); additionally, some runes require fine crafting materials to make (note that this doesn't apply to all higher level runes but all levels of particular runes; the fine material tier increases with rune level). However, in general, the first recipe for a minor or major rune requires two of any particular odd tier rare crafting material (superior runes take only one lodestone); the second recipe for a minor or major rune requires one of any particular even tier rare crafting material (there are only five tiers, therefore superior runes have only one recipe). Additionally, many runes can only be obtained by salvage, purchase from some (very specific) Karma merchants, or as included upgrades to SPECIFIC armor sets (dungeon rewards).
[edit] Rune types
Below, all known runes are listed by primary cumulative attribute given with one, three, or five armor pieces with the same kind of rune.
Armor must have a required level of at least 39 to apply a Major rune and at least 60 to apply a Superior rune. There is no restriction for applying Minor runes to armor.

- Runes do not stack effects past their number of bonuses, i.e. a third minor rune or a fifth major rune of the same name is wasted. For example, three Minor Runes of Divinity provide only the (1) and (2) bonuses.
[edit] Trivia
- It was originally stated that it would not be possible to salvage runes from armor at all[1], however, during BWE2 each salvage kit had a chance of salvaging upgrade components. It is also possible to salvage an upgrade component directly using a Black Lion Salvage Kit.
- It is possible to receive Dungeon-specific Runes from armor looted outside of their respective dungeons, as well as from the Mystic Forge. These Runes will still be Soulbound though.
