Notes

• General Rough Runestone and Quality Rough Runestone can be bought from Rune Seller prontera168228.
• Some materials can be gotten from Merry Badger Weekly Special.
• Up to 20 of each kind of rune can be in the inventory at once.
• If a successful creation would leave over 20 runes in the inventory, the creation will not progress. If this happens, a Rough Runestone will still be consumed, but no other ingredients will. For instance, if 3 Asir Runestones are created while having 19 Runestones of the same type, the creation will not progress, but a Rough Runestone will still be consumed; if 1 Asir Runestone is created while having 19 Runestones of the same type, the creation will proceed as usual.
