When the game launched, you could salvage items bought with Karma, and retrieve the runes to apply to other gear. It’s no longer possible to do that, but I haven’t found any other way of getting the Minor two-set runes except by random drop. (of Hoelbrak, of the Rata Sum, etc)
Would it be possible to make these introductory runes available some other way? Or is that already in the game somewhere and I missed it?
I realise there is a workaround using Transmutation, but that is not always ideal.
