Armor runes (Awakening)

Armor Runes can be applied to certain armor to provide permanent bonuses to that armor's effects. Runes can be applied to (or removed from) equipment by Ambassador Cera at Vigil's Keep. There is no cost associated with adding or removing runes, and runes can be reused after removal. This makes it easy to tailor equipment to meet particular challenges.

Each armor has a certain number of rune slots, depending on the material from which it is made. For example, iron armor has no slots while Dragonbone armor offers 3. There are five types of runes, each of which provides a different effect, such as increased armor. Runes come in one of 5 tiers of power, from Novice to Grandmaster.
