what are you adding to your rune arms?

[Raiderone]

A rune arm with "Craftable Rune Arm (+3)" on it should be able to accept 3 additional pluses worth of effects on top of all of the effects that start on it. (Though each plus equivalent that you add to the item will increase the rune arm's minimum level by 2.)

Thats the problem with crafting. It causes the end item to be way higher minimum level than regular generated loot.

I'd suggest making each increase only +1 instead of +2. Or making the + 1/2/3/4/5 Enhancement only increase by it's amount.

For INstance: I created a +3 Holy Heavy Repeating Xbow of Pure Good and cannot use it until level 13. When it should really be min lvl 10.

I know about the Master Craftiing item. More grind (IMO).

I added ranged alacrity on my low level rune arms (it's a +2 modifier so you can use it on Flame warden, etc. by level 5 or level 3 w/ mark of cannith).

I added blindness immunity to Thought Spike which made it a min level 5 item. I'm only level 3 atm, so I had to go get another thought spike. I'm still trying to get a handle on this, so I'm going to be careful about trying to always keep a rune arm that's not too high level for me to use yet. I also like the idea of adding sneak attack as a suffix.

I am adding Rune Legs.

Without a Rune Torso, and Rune Head they are only moderately useful, but eventually I'll have a Rune Robot who just runs quests for me. I call it "Warforged Sorcerer".

Catchy, yes?

This is not the case, most Rune Arms begin with a +, and cannot go above their Craftable +. So... Rune Arm begins as +1, and has Craftable +2, it means that at most you can add a +1 to it.

Seems rather obvious to me. If this wasn't intended, then all rune arms need +1 to craftability.

perhaps you should pay more attention to who is telling you these things... if your rune arms are not working as eladrin (one of the devs) describes, then the rune arm is probably bugged.

Not accurate.

Flame Warden has a craftable level of +2 and I added a +2 shard to it making it ML 5.

The craftable + in the description specifically tells you how much you can ADD to the existing effects (although any shard with a + value that you add to a rune arm will raise its level and is permanent / cannot be disjuncted or changed).

Since you cannot undo it... be careful.

I suggest having a second runearm before experimenting with the first.
Experiment with the weaker one... always keep your current best one untouched.
Because you do not want to have al of your runarms suddenely to high a min lvl for you to use.

I added +1 Attack Bonus to the one from Korthos. Seemed to use up all the +s and shot the min lvl up to 5.

I added Persuasion to the one from STK. Also seemed to use up all of its +s and increased min lvl to 5.

Some others I thought would be nice were Repair Lore, and Evocation Focus.

Considered Parrying, but decided that AC isn't a worthwhile investment.

[donblas]

Added persuasion to my thought spike (mostly for the +3 UMD)

[Ystradmynach]

I added another rune arm to my rune arm.

[Caseas]

Anyone know if Vampirism will work?

[Glenalth]

Anyone know if Vampirism will work?

It only goes on weapons.

[Symar-FangofLloth]

I added another rune arm to my rune arm.

So you can pewpew while you pewpew while you pewpew?

[NamelessUnknown]

would seeker work? seems like that may be a decent bonus to a rune arm if it works

[Valakai]

I added another heavy repeating xbow and a halfling thrower + flamethrower....kids love that stuff.

Especially the flamethrower + halfling thrower combo does wonders against epic Velah. You poison unsuspecting halfling, attach it to the thrower, use flamethrower to make it all nice and crispy and right when Velah opens her mouth pop it right in there.

Shard of battleskill the highest tier I can get in reality.

[NexEverto]

Shard of Accuracy +4... Because I'm too lazy to farm a pair of Epic Spectral Gloves.

... And if the Seal of that is anywhere near as annoying to get as my Seal of the Bracers of the Claw (6 months of farming and NOTHING), I'll never get it....

[Zitaloc]

Been wondering if bodyfeeder works on the rune arm?
Would be nice for soloing

[Matuse]

Rune arms don't actually hit things, so on-hit effects won't function, even if they can be applied.

[jonqrandom]

glad to see i'm not the only guy with dull, straight-line-thinking in this thread i put superior impulse III on thought spike, and i'll probably put superior [appropriate damage boost] [max charge tier + 1] shards on my other rune arms. kinda wish the 3-minute clicky shards would slot, but hey, i still don't have my pony either!

i tend to swap around weapons (and rune arms) with elemental damage types so as to use whatever is most effective at that point, so i don't really want stuff like extra SP that vanish when i unequip, or repair buffs that require me to be using a less-than useful rune arm 'cos i need to heal fast.

besides which - bog rune arms don't do enough damage

i suppose i could just craft the highest superior potency i can equip onto something i wear all the time, but (i think) it takes up more enchantment levels and has a higher minlvl for any given level of itself. by the time that's no longer an issue, it'll be cake to go get new blank low level rune arms (ok, it was cake anyway lol) to craft new stuff on to - assuming i care!

[kelemvelor]

Just a simple question to see what if anything you are adding to your rune arms. Thanks ahead of time for any ideas.

Well for starters, I'm adding an Artificer to my rune arm.
