Can someone explain me how rune system work in GW2? I mean the ones you put into your armor/weapon to gain additional stats. For example when there are listed (1)(2)(3) with different benefits next to them and how to fill them up.

Kind Regards…

the ones with the number represent how many of those specific runes you have in the gear u are wearing. So with 1 rune in your gear you get the first bonus, 2 runes give you the bonus listed for 1 and 2, and so on.

That’s what I thought too, but it didn’t work for me. I had a minor rune of the eagle on my body armor. It shows the possibility of having 2. When I tried to add the second one it removed the first one and applied the new rune. So I’m wondering if that was a bug or I just didn’t do it right. I even double checked to make sure that the second rune was the same type. So that wasn’t the problem.

Okay so on further thinking is it that the second rune has to be applied to a different piece of armor.? I’ll try that instead and see if that now gives me the second stat bonus. It wasn’t clear to me how to do that.

Yes, the numbers are how many different pieces of armour must contain that particular rune to get that ability.

BTW For most of the really low level runes, the secondary bonus is actually not as good as the primary, so you might want to avoid matching them.
