DT effects visible?

[Wizzly_Bear]

I combed the release notes to find out if runes are now identified, but this is all I could find...

Crafting

• A new recipe has been added to the Dragontouched Sovereign Altar to shatter a undesired Sovereign Rune into ... something else. Any Sovereign Rune can be placed in the Altar with one Draconic Rune to activate this recipe. The Sovereign Rune will be destroyed, and Runes of some sort will be returned, but the recipe is unpredictable.

So are they identified now or not?

Eldritch, Tempest, and Sovereign Runes are now named.

[Kromize]

They are identified now. But still bound to character.

[Coldin]

Yep, you can see what they are now. The one I have says "Eldritch Rune of Greater False Life"

And to think I was waiting on that one to smash together a tempest.

[Wizzly_Bear]

Deal

[Symar-FangofLloth]

Example of both the new DT naming and the Binding clarification.

[Carpone]

Runes of some sort will be returned, but the recipe is unpredictable.

Any details on the quantity or types of runes acquired from this process?

I like

(Standard): Dragontouched Sovereign Altar success with Sovereign Rune Shattered! Consumed: Sovereign Rune of Spell Power, Draconic Rune. Created: Eldritch Rune of Resistance, Eldritch Rune of Acid Resistance, Eldritch Rune of Featherfalling.
(Standard): Dragontouched Sovereign Altar success with Sovereign Rune Shattered! Consumed: Draconic Rune, Sovereign Rune of Ice. Created: Eldritch Rune of Lionheart, Eldritch Rune of Skill: Charisma, Eldritch Rune of Skill: Charisma.
(Standard): Dragontouched Sovereign Altar success with Sovereign Rune Shattered! Consumed: Draconic Rune, Sovereign Rune of Air. Created: Eldritch Rune of Skill: Charisma, Eldritch Rune of Threat.
(Standard): Dragontouched Sovereign Altar success with Sovereign Rune Shattered! Consumed: Draconic Rune, Sovereign Rune of Flame. Created: Eldritch Rune of Skill: Wisdom, Eldritch Rune of Deathward.
(Standard): Dragontouched Sovereign Altar success with Sovereign Rune Shattered! Consumed: Draconic Rune, Sovereign Rune of Sound. Created: Eldritch Rune of Deathward, Eldritch Rune of Lesser Healing Amplification, Eldritch Rune of Skill: Dexterity.

Looks like 1 sovereign rune becomes 2-3 eldritch runes. Very low return but better than junking a useless sovereign. Also low enough that you'd give it to someone who needed the effect instead of looting it to smash.

[Valindria]

In my testing 1 Sov + 1 Drac = 2 Eldritch.

All of them are named and they bound to character (a little disappointed by this).

Overall excellent changes!!!


I havent tried EtK yet. The biggest dissapointment was bring my paladin over who is looking for 20%, and 10% healing amp to see it was not 1 of the ~16 tempest runs he had.

Also:



Shame we can't buy sovereign runes like that anymore

[Bolo_Grubb]

**** maybe I will get dragontouch on all my toons after all

[Irinis]

**** maybe I will get dragontouch on all my toons after all

Agreed.

[Bolo_Grubb]

Agreed.

and maybe even 2 or 3 sets for different needs. 1 set for tanking hound, 1 set for damage dealing guards, etc


**** I need to go more prey and get more runes.

[Rodrak]

In my testing 1 Sov + 1 Drac = 2 Eldritch.

It's a bit better actually, you'll usually get 1d2+1 eldritch runes (89%), 1 tempest rune (10%) or even 1 sovereign rune (1%).

[Maelphistez]

/me cheers and dances in the Refuge.

[Jendrak]

It's a bit better actually, you'll usually get 1d2+1 eldritch runes (89%), 1 tempest rune (10%) or even 1 sovereign rune (1%).

Would kinda like to see the percentages changed to 80/15/5 just to make grinding the runes a little bit easier. Cause lets be honest, even with them named now the chances of getting what you looking for are still ****** just not as ****** as before. So your still gonna be grinding regardless.

Also, with the runes being identifyed now im anticipating alot of the "I can use this when I TR" as a exucse to not trade a rune. But we will see.

Screenshots if you wouldnt mind?

[sephiroth1084]

This is basically what I had been hoping for. Unfortunately, it means that I will be pitching a tent in the Reaver's Refuge for a week or two when U7 goes live. Time to finally get some decent stuff on my DT armors!

[Barumar]

They are identified now. But still bound to character.

And that leaves just one thing to confirm (sorry if I missed it, but don't think anyone talked about seeing inside the chest with multiple players Sovereign Runes in it).

CAN YOU see what a Sovereign Rune has on it in the chest, and swap it (or give it) to another Player in your party?

[khaldan]

Argh why have I seen healin amp in every screenshot so far

/rant off

Anyone happen to know what 'tempest rune of empowered healing' does? I can't check, my character with it doesn't have DT armor.
