Sacred 2 - Secondary Rune Effects

[gogoblender 3,073]

Hey guys!

 

 

We're trying to list out in the Wiki, all the secondary effects of runes ( the effect in small writing you see below the main CA of the rune). We did it for the original Sacred here:

 

Sacred Secondary Rune Effects

 

Once we have all the secondary rune effects noted, we can then table it so that anyone can first look to see a particular effect that they're looking to add to their character and THEN see what rune gives it, and perhaps keep in mind, or produce at a rune master.

Throughout the course of the game you will find runes that upgrade combat arts or unlock those not learned yet. Runes also add bonuses to items when they are forged in. You may either use a new rune when you find it or exchange it at a runemaster for another one. For a fee, a runemaster will let you exchange runes that you don't need for others. You can give a runemaster up to four runes. The number of runes you have to offer influences the fee for the exchange. The more runes, the cheaper the exchange.

 

Rune Exchange rates at Runemaster:

 

1 rune for 1 rune: 125000 gold

 

2 runes for 1 rune: 25000 gold

 

3 runes for 1 rune: 5000 gold

 

4 runes for 1 rune: 500 gold

 

Runes that you find or obtain in exchange for other runes from a runemaster are placed in your backpack inventory. Hold the cursor over them to learn about the runes and their effects. Memorize a combat art rune by right clicking it.

 

Although you will be able to memorize multiple runes of the same combat art to increase its level, the maximum level of a combat art is limited by your character's level.

 

The following is a list of runes as dropped by class along with their secondary rune effects. Secondary rune effects are particularly useful at lower levels when gold is at a premium, and runes drop more freely. Using runes to socket with in a creative fashion can significantly increase your damage output, type of damage you do, imbue with life leech...etc. Also don't forget that secondary effects of Runes stack...so these extras can greatly benefit a character, at least one that's starting off. Secondary rune effects have better effects at higher difficulty levels.

 

• Tip- It is possible to have runes with better secondary effects from a higher level brought down to a lower level of difficulty and have them socketed into items for lower leveled characters.

Gogo, the life leach bonuses on the Inquisitor & Dryad (the middle set of Dryad runes) runes are +4 in Silver, so I think that all of those bonuses are likely to be higher on runes found in higher difficulties...

[gogoblender 3,073]

Hmmm, do you think it could just be the life leech runes who's secondaries are changing...

 

or is it all the runes?

 

gogo

[Llama8 8]

Nope, I'm pretty sure it's all runes, the seraphim's "chance to evade" ones have as well.

[gogoblender 3,073]

wow, talk about complex. You know it's funny, I was talking about this to Schot a few months ago...wouldn't it have been cool if the runes weren't static, but instead dynamic?

 

Yeah it's more fun...but makes documenting stuff more work

 

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

 

 

gogo

 

p.s. Schot actually went to a rune master in Silver...and produced higher leveled life leech runes than in bronze! Could these be brought down to a bronze level toon so that the bronze toon could socket them? Ahhh, questions questions ^^

[Llama8 8]

Bronze runes stay with the +3 Leach when in Silver, so I don't see why Silver ones wouldn't keep their +4 leach in Bronze.

Updated!

Wrenn (bless him) has shown up on SacredWiki and added in all the Silver levels of secondary effects on runes.

 

http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Runes

 

A little bit of edting, and the page is looking good.

 

Thanks Wrenn!

Nefarious Underworld has "Lice" leeched above

 

Life Leech is +6 in Gold

Damage Mitigation is +3.5% in Gold

Chance to evade is 21 something % in Gold

 

and I'm curious what "Damage of enraged players" mean

[Flooxim 49]

and I'm curious what "Damage of enraged players" mean

 

The damage is increased when the characters takes or deals damage. It has some charge levels, so the character deals more damage if more wounded.

[gogoblender 3,073]

lol, lice hahahah

wow, that was a HUGE error

 

Changed

 

And like Max said, it's like WIDD from old Sacred...the less HP the toon has, the more damage he can put out. Twas the most powerful mod in Sacred...but also the most dangerous.

p.s. and if we've got gold players here (so lucky!) you can add the secondary's directly to the wiki or just make a post about them here on this topic and we'll add them in.

[Llama8 8]

You can access Gold/Plat/Niobium yourself Gogo by starting Sacred 2, then taking any character into Gold/Plat/Niobium, just don't log out of that server though, otherwise you'll be restricted to your "proper" difficulty levels (until you restart Sacred 2).

 

Also, runes from Niobium (& probably Plat, possibly Gold) give more +CA when socketted, can't remember whether they also give more +CA when right-clicked.

Runes shouldn't give more +CA when right-clicked.

 

The maximum amount of runes one can learn (for 1 CA) is nearly 500,000, I think.

 

Good especially for CAs such as Grand Invigoration who have *absolutely no drawback*. More HP regen, regenerates all CAs faster...nothing bad about it.

 

Also good for an entirely melee or ranged build for those buffs who DO have drawbacks (well, almost all buffs do).

 

I'm thinking of Battle Stance, Warding Energy, BeeEffGee, Sinister Predator, Ancient Bark, Moribund Animus and the Shadow Warrior skeleton buff.

 

It makes you significantly more physical based, wether melee or ranged, but it makes you also a powerhouse. The problem is that it takes more and more runes to get 1.0 and at some point even 0.1 CA level. Though reading 440,000 runes for Battle Stance would give you well above +800% attack (maybe 1000%), and incredible defense as well.

 

In Gold, with moderately acceptable equipment, at level 55, I had 2500 attack and 1200 defense, not counting any Blacksmith Arts. This is when using Battle Stance (effective lv 27 or so, with 98 runes read).

[Llama8 8]

The maximum amount of runes one can learn (for 1 CA) is nearly 500,000, I think.

 

CA levels are capped at 255 (natural) + 255 (from item bonuses). I can only assume that when you say 500,000 runes read, that you've not taken the relevant Focus skill.

If you take the relevant Focus skill and are level 200, the "max level without penalty" would be around 100. Reaching 255+255 *effective* level, would take a ginormous amount of runes.
