Dwarven Weaponry - Runic Smithing

Description

Add new runes to the game, runes can be applied to a weapon (and in some cases to an armor. There's only one armor rune at the moment, but the system will be expanded at a later date) giving them permanent enchanments.

Runes need to be crafted, using a Runic Anvil and components. This mod is a little hardcore in that part; components are costly and some of them can be very hard to find. As indicated as the start, those who just look for cheat items can use Weapons Oils.

Getting Started

You can get a Runic Anvil, Volo's Guide to Runic Smithing and your first Empty Rune as a reward from Volo for rescuing him from the goblin camp.

If you miss it, you also can buy those items from Greymon at the Grymforge (Act I), Barcus Wroot at Last light Inn (Act II) and at Danthelon's Dancing Axe (Act III). Also Helsik will sell Empty Runes too.

There's also a (really low) chance of getting empty runes as loot or on other traders not indicated above. At least level 5 is require for this.

The Runic Anvil and  Volo's Guide to Runic Smithing can also be obtained from Elven Weaponry - Tutorial Chest. Note that there isn't any empty rune (or any other kind of rune) in the chest, you'll need to buy/loot those.

Rules of the Runes

All this info can be read in game, using Volo's Guide to Runic Smithing.

-Rule of four: A maximum of four runes can be infused on an item. Moreover, only one rune of each rune category can be infused at the same time. If a second rune of the same type is infused, the first one will lose its powers.

There's four categorys of runes and only one rune of each category can be active at the same time on each item. If you use a second one, the previous one will be remove.

-Rule of form: Only an item the runesmith holds will be infused and any item which is reforged will lost all runes on it.

This means that only the item on the appropiate slot will get the benefits, if you don't have an item on that slot you will lose the rune. On weapons only the active weapon in your main hand will get the benefits. (So be aware if you have melee/ranged active before use and if you want to enchant a offhand weapon you need to equip it on main hand first.)

The second part means that any item use on crafting will lost all runes. Dye is OK, but any other form of cr
