Notes[edit]

Southsun Economist near Kiel's Outpost Waypoint sells a Settler's Banded Legs of Strength for 2 and 70 Karka Shells if all four settlements are under control. Although this item cannot be salvaged in order to apply the rune to other items, it can however be extracted with Upgrade Extractor.
The prices for armor that contains this are as follows, though it may be more efficient to buy the rune directly off the Trading Post instead:
