Guild Wars 2

I have a rune that I would like to apply to my Diving mask, will the effects of the rune work when I am on land or will I have to apply it to my armor for that to work?

Thank you.

Your aqua mask only works underwater just as your helm works only over water.

I have a Minor Rune of Something in my boots and in my diving mask. While I haven’t checked to see whether the stat’s actually do reflect it, the bonus for having two runes displays as active, and when I added an item which had a third copy of that rune I got the red 3/2. I think that’s more along the lines of what the OP was asking.

I am guessing that all runes work underwater and on land but runes applied to an Aqua mask only works underwater and runes applied to Helms only work on land…. I think

The exception to this as far as I have gathered is the Rune of Life… it seems to do nothing at all whether on land or in water

Yes they do show as active.. however that doesn’t necessarily mean the stats are being properly represented.. certainly in regrds to the rune of life .. I and several others I know have already reported this issue some time back but as yet have heard nothing, so I simply avoid using them now.. not that they were that useful anyways

Can’t find it at the moment, but there was an official response some time ago saying that it’s a display bug, which does not affect stats.

Thank you for the help, I place it on my helmet instead
