If you can't break a sovereign rune into...a sovereign rune...it would seem to kind of defeat the purpose of this change.

Can someone explain what the big deal is about?

Since you can now see the effect of the rune you can now trade them in chest. You can buy them from other people. You will now know when to stop farming once you get your desired rune. I'm guessing that when you purchase and eldritch rune as well you will be able to select the desired eldritch from the list instead of guessing from 15 random unnamed eldritches.

The Update 5 fiasco made me decide to stop giving Turbine money until their quality control improved significantly. As much as I love the DT runes improvement (and I love it so much that I want to have Dragontouched Rune babies now), I like the listed bug fixes even more.

4-24 Awesomeness or in D&D dice 4d6 Awesomeness per level until a max of 80D6

I would rather see

4d6 of awesomeness or WoWtard variable number notation 4-24 of awesomeness

In addition, if you already have a decent rune active on your armor, but want a better one, you don't have to worry about losing your "decent" trait to the DT lottery. You can just wait until you get the rune you want and grind up the other runes to make the next level up.

I don't get it. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but I thought it meant you could use the altar to break up a Sov, which would give X. You could then identify X. For those runes only, which are no longer tradeable because you own them when they pop back out of the altar into your inventory. Am I missing something?

If my reading is correct then it'd only help a little if you were planning multiple DT armours, because otherwise the chance of getting the rune you actually want is still the same, if the new runes received from breaking a Sov are still BTA.

You missed the fine print, U7 is not going to be released until 2013.

From what he's saying, I hope ALL DT runes are labelled, and not just sovereign runes that are degraded.

Assuming all runes are labelled, I think this is the biggest positive. Dragontouched armor will now only get better, ensuring you always have the best properties that were available over the course of rune farming. For people who are hardcore farming for a particular property, this is especially useful.

I know a couple of people who would have 2 DT's. One set they would take 3 properties that were good, but perhaps not exactly what they were looking for, and on the 2nd they would continually add properties until they good their exact properties. This is completely obviated now - a definite positive.

I hate to burst yer bubble guys, but the way that statement is written could be interpreted as meaning they are only identified after coming out of the Sovereign shattering recipe ...

[redraider]

Moar Easy Button!!!

Die a slow death on the Sovereign rune alter Ericka for that one!

This change is friggen awesome!

Yes and no. Technically it can be interpretted that way, but also pay notice to the phrase "undesired sovereign rune". How can it be undesired if you don't know what it is?

Perhaps you have a stack of 2 sovereign runes.
Or, perhaps you already have the tier 3 effect you want.

Then you're probably not getting any more. No reason to accumulate more if you're already set.

Unless you can break them down into tempest/eldritch runes with known effects, assuming they typically aren't known.

[RequiemVampie]

Read the post.

Overjoyed.

I shall futterwacken...vigorously.



This also means I can start running Reaver's Refuge again...without the lottery.

Think of it this way, if you could identify all runes in chest, would you EVER really get an undesired sovereign rune?? Maybe just maybe to crunch down ... But I'd rather run quick Monastery or Prey runs to get those identified in chest runes ...
