So I have a full 6/6 rune set on my armor. But as you know underwater re-breather replaces your usual helm. So here comes the question – do you need to get 7th rune on re-breather to get set bonus or it works even with helm removed?
I wish I knew how to test this. I’ve had the same question myself. There just aren’t any underwater target dummies to work with. Until AN opens up a forum where it’s not just “players helping players”, I’m not sure we’ll get an answer. Maybe someone has an idea how to properly test this?
I just did a quick test – I put two different runes in my helm and my aqua breather that matched runes in my other gear. I went underwater, and I’m still seeing the bonus from the rune from my mask. I think both are simultaneously equipped, because I also see the bonus from the rune in my aqua breather on land.

The re-breather replaces your usual helm, so if you want for full 6 of 6 runes, you have to buy a 7th and place it on your re-breather . You normal helm stats and runes work on land only, your re-breather stats and runes works under water only.
I used Superior Rune of the Fighter 6 of 6 to test this. The might from healing did not work under water until I added a 7th rune to the re-breather.
Later I removed my gloves (so I had 5 of 6 from normal items including helm) and the 6 on the rebreather and again, the might from healing did not trigger when on land.
So that proves to me the the runes for helm and re-breather swap when you go from land to underwater or vis via
I’d really love to know…
