Guild Wars 2

Please explain these stats to me.

“Superior Rune of Citadel (1/6)”.

The top line (1): +25 Power

The rest are in white eg (2): 15%Fury Duration

So can you explain the 1/6
Which stats are active now ? (Are they all active, if not why not).
Why some are shown in white ?

Only the blue highlighted text is active, you need 5 more of the same runes attached to different pieces of armor to unlock the remaining

Only stat 1 is active, to get the others active you have to equip “Superior Rune of the Citadel” to your other pieces of armour. You get 1 tier for every rune of the same type you have equipped to your active armour.

Ah thanks for the link.

I need 5 more then, haha, like thats going to happen, only found that one after about 450 hours, lets see that 450 x blah blah blah, a lot of hours !

And I assume there’s no way to recover these runes once you have put them on your armour.

You can get them on the trading post.

You can retrieve them by salvaging with the most expensive item but you lose the gear. You can try with cheaper salvaging items but you run the risk of not getting it back. You get salvaging items from vendors.

You can also transmute them onto another armor piece, so if you get an upgrade you can pick which look and stats you want, and slide the rune over to the new-made item.

Ok, so I have a Guardian that I put 1 Superior Rune of the Guardian on. But what I see is all of the levels blue and the (X/6) number is red showing (7/6). This is prolly a dumb question, but is that intentional or should I bug report it?

it’s showing runes from your spvp set but yes, it is a bug

just to add to this, it should be the Black Lion’s salvage kit that gives 100% recovery on Upgrade components on armour or weapons.

and at the same time, if you have the stats and skin that you like on your gear, but want to change the rune, you can just “Overwrite” it with your desired rune.

again, of course, you lose the rprevious rune.
