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.
