Synthesis Runes


※ English names might change as the translation project progresses.

Overview

Runes are special abilities that can be synthesized into weapons, shields, or bracelets.

Each rune is represented as a single Japanese character (Kanji, Hira, or Kata).

Generally runes make your adventure easier, but some are a double-edged sword
or have an outright negative effect, so some care is needed.

The Town of Ilpa blacksmith can erase unwanted runes for a fee.
Ooze, Sludge, and Gyandoron monsters can also remove runes at random.

Synthesis Methods

  • Insert items into a Synthesis Pot.
  • Throw items at a Mini Mixer type monster.
