Guild Wars 2

Each rune has a number of attributes, and most of them are greyed out. I’ve always wondered but never bothered to ask, how do you get all of the attributes active on a rune?

By adding more of the same rune to different pieces of armour. The more runes of the same type you add, the more of the attributes you get.

The first attribute will be active once you equip the item. To get the others to activate you need to apply another rune of the same type to another one of your items.

Hope that helps.

It’s like the set bonuses in other games. Basically, if a rune has 2 extra stats (other than the regular one), with one of the grayed out, it means that you put a rune in a piece of equipment, you’ll get the first one, if you put a second rune of the same type on another piece of gear, you’ll also get the second one.

Was wondering about that too. Thanks.
