Runes and Scrolls
Runes and Scrolls allow you to customize your weapons, tools and armor by adding or increasing Custom and Vanilla Enchantments on them. Both Runes and Scrolls require and empty socket on the item they are being aplied to. For more info on sockets click here.
Runes
Runes are the items to use to apply and/or increase Custom Enchaments on your gear.
Runes have a maximum Custom Enchantment level which can be reached. Adding a rune for an enchant that is already maxed will have no effect on the item (but will still take up a socket). For alist of all runes and maximim enchant levels, see the Rune Custom Enchanting page.
Runes have been split into colored groups based on their general purpose.
The colors and purposes of the Runes are as follows:
- Gray Runes: Defense (Healing and tank Enchantments such as: Shield, Paladin's Cleansing and Lifesteal)
- Red Runes: Offense (Damaging Enchantments such as: Blaze, Area Withering and Molten)
- Green Runes: Working (Job related Enchantments such as: Angler, Drilling and Excavation)
- Golden Runes: Utility (Generally helpful Enchantments such as: Dash, Crystaline and Experienced)
- Violet Runes: Summoning (Summoning Enchantments such as: Necromancer, Werewolf and Guards)
- Blue Runes: Misc. Combat (Non-damaging combat Enchantments such as: Shatter, Slowness and Levitation)
- White Runes: Special (Strong or unique Enchantments such as: Lightweight, Fireworks and Well Fed)
One final note for this section: some Runes will be more or less common than others. This reflects the Custom Enchantment rarity that already exists on the server.
Catalysts
Catalysts are used to upgrade Standard Runes to its Greater version. Greater Runes apply two levels of their Custom Enchantment rather than one. The crafting recipe can be found in /ccraft or by visitng the custom crafter in spawn.
Scrolls
Scrolls are the items to use to apply and/or increase Vanilla Enchantments on gear.
These work in a very similar way to Runes in that each Scroll will take up a Socket on your item to increase an Enchantment by one level, though there is no Greater versions of these.
Also, similarly to Runes, some Scrolls will be more or less common than others. You can find additional information about this on the Scrolls wiki page.
Scrubbers
As explained in the lore, each Scrubber is responsible for cleansing your item of either Runes (Infernal Scrubber) or Scrolls (Arcane Scrubber). These are applied in the same way as all other Custom Items, simply right click them on the item you wish to scrub.
These Scrubbers will completely remove the Rune or Scroll from your item, so the Sockets become available again but you do lose the benefits (increased levels) as well. As the name might imply, scrubbing will destroy the Runes and Scrolls so you won't get them back after removal, but as the Compendiums and Grimoires shall be relatively common, it's not going to be a huge hit to your balance.
Runic Compendiums and Forbidden Grimoires
Runic Compendiums are a complete replacement from the old Book of Tomes item, so you are able to trade Books in with /ccraft to get Runic Compendiums instead. Forbidden Grimoires are a rework of an old item, to get these replaced please make a ticket on our /discord and an Admin will be able to do that for you.
Compendiums will drop one random Rune of a random color, to limit this to a random Rune of a specific color you can combine five Compendiums to a specific Cipher in /ccraft, this will allow you to taget specific funtionality much more easily. Grimoires will drop one random Scroll, there are no colors or categories for these but there are significantly fewer Scrolls available.
Both of these items will also be made available in crates, voting and daily rewards among others in future to allow new Runes and Scrolls to enter the economy for use.
