Crafting - upgrading runes | Combat Lords of the Fallen Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The crafting system, in the Lords of the Fallen, is quite easy. At the first stage of the game, you meet a mysterious blacksmith that allows you to unseal magical runes and place them on your gear. The sealed runes have been hidden all around the game world and you can obtain them for defeating some of the opponents. How do you unseal them? You simply need to go to the smith, select the rune and hold down the button specified by the game. If you want to increase your chances of obtaining a better item, you can spend some of your experience on that. Its amount is specified on the bar below the rune card. The unsealed runes come in 4 variations, specified by the color of the font that their name has been written in. The weakest ones are white, blue are more powerful and violet ones are even more powerful. The most powerful ones are in orange. Only in the case of the runes dropped by the slain boss, can you stand the chance of unsealing a better one. You increase the chance of obtaining a better one by spending some of your experience points on it - it is better not to be stingy, in the case of the ones that you loot from bosses, because you can then receive a better bonus. The type of the bonus from the rune depends on two factors:

1. The item that you place the rune into:

• weapon
• magic gauntlet
• shield
• element of the armor

2. The type of the rune:

• fire
• magic
• poison
• luck
• power

You can place runes only on the items that have the special rune sockets. It is also good to know that it is free to remove the runes from the items and you can do that as many times as you want.

There are minor and major runes in the game. The former can be found all around the game world and they, sometimes, are dropped by the opponents that you defeat. The latter can be obtained from bosses only. Of course, they provide better effects.
