Guild Wars 2

I have trouble with runes & adding it to armor. First the technical info

Rune: Superior rune of the flame legion (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Rune_of_the_Flame_Legion)
lvl: 60

armor piece: illustrious doublet (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Zojja%27s_Doublet)
lvl: 80 (ascended)

problem, when I try to add the rune to the armor piece mentioned above it shows as it’s not possible. If i hover the rune over the chest piece (in hero page) the box turns red (which means it’s not possible to perform that action). Also, saying the runes doesn’t fit with the armor is not correct as I have the same runes on my boots. Is this a bug that’s holding me back?

Also extra info (maybe this can help finding the bug), this armor piece was a drop from a Triple Trouble chest, I used the mystic forge to change it to Zojja armor, Then i transmuted it, then i saw it didn’t apply, so i thought maybe the transmutation must’ve jinxed it, so i transmuted it back. Still it’s impossible to add the rune to the armor piece.

Can someone with experience on this subject please give me an explanation and a fix for this problem. As this kinda holds back a lot of my armor’s potential as this armor piece doesn’t have the correct rune page.

Thanks in advance

Ok i kinda figured out what the problem is. if you drag the rune into the armor piece it won’t work (doesn’t work with any armor piece) if i right click and press “use” and then click on the armor piece in hero panel i can add the rune to the armor piece… shouldn’t dragging also work?:/

As far as I’m aware, dragging has never worked. Double-clicking the rune to “use” it, then selecting what piece of gear to use it on, has always been how it worked.

hmm weird but okay… kinda silly still.. dragging should also work if you ask me :/ it’s not like you do anything else with a rune/sigil

They probably don’t want to do it that way, because you could easily drag runes/sigils over equipment when you’re rearranging your inventory. Then all it takes is accidentally releasing the button, and bam, you lose your rune/sigil.

The reason they do things like this is so that it’s harder to accidentally screw something up.
