Hey guys and gals,
I was just wondering if someone could explain runes to me because whenever I buy my new armor/ weapons it says “Major rune of… (1/2)” and I don’t understand how you get you unlock all of the effects, because some of my armor has (2/2) and I don’t understand how to get all the effects.
Thanks for your answers

You unlock the effects by wearing the corresponding number of runes.
So to unlock all 4 bonuses from a major rune you need to wear 4 of them,
To get all 6 from superior you need to wear 6 runes.
Keep in mind, you’re underwater headgear/breather replaces your normal headgear while underwater, so if you use a set of Superior runes and want to maintain the sixth bonus while underwater you actually need 7 so both land and water headgear have one.
