Carve runes

This is a list of runes that may be carved into equipment. Runes can stack, so if a given rune is carved into an item more than once, the affect is additive. The rune naming system also has a logic. Notice Gesu provides armor, while Gesu-Rune provides protection against something. Ilnak gives mana, while Gesu-Ilnak and Ilnak-Xix result in a magic related affect.

While carving you may see one of four results. 1) A successful carve where a rune is added to an item. 2) A decent layout eludes you, this means you can carve more into the item. 3)You cannot add more runes. This is believed to mean you can add more runes to the item, but only of ones already on it. 4) You cannot bind more magic to the item. Carving is done, nothing more you can do here.

It may be necessary to acquire several pieces of an item to get the rune outcome you desire. Damroll added to mage eq isn't very useful nor is INT on a warrior weapon optimal.

Note, this research was done by a level 14 druid, more runes or different affects for given runes may be available. Some runes may cause different affects, the reason for this is presumed to be either random and/or based on druid carving level. For the best results, have the highest level druid you can find carve important equipment.
